License tagging for Image:Gologan.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Gologan.jpg. Misplaced Pages gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Misplaced Pages:Image use policy
• Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 20:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Author of two CC-BY-SA-2.5 photos?

Hi - I got your message regarding the two photos Image:Denbigh stadium east stand 16 May 07.JPG and Image:Denbigh south stand 16 may 07.JPG. I am the author of these photographs but would like you to credit me as the author if you use them outside of Misplaced Pages. I'm not sure if the license I used is the right one, but it seemed to be. If you are using the images in Misplaced Pages then I think it would be fine if you provide a link to my userpage. If you can help me to add the author information to the image page then I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Zorro77 20:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, sure, inside or outside of Misplaced Pages everybody obliged to credit you; that's why I needed the information. Since Commons is a sister project run by the Wikimedia Foundation, it is "inside" :-)

I added the attribution parameter to both pictures here.

Look at an example how I proceed in analogous cases of locally uploaded files, which - being uploaded under free license - are capable for use in Commons.

In case you didnt know, the main difference between uploading on Commons and local upload is in the copyright status: Commons is only for images which are free throughout the world:

• GFDL
• Public domain, for instance pictures, whose author died at least 70 years ago] or NASA / US GOV pictures etc
• and the two free, out of six Creative Commons licenses: CC-BY and CC-BY-SA , in their respective versions.

Locally are to be uploaded images which fall under the fair use assumption, which, however, is treated differently in the different national legislations. So, pictures licensed as CC-BY-SA-2.5. are okay with Commons, and I can directly upload them there, and as much as I am concerned, you can rely on full attribution. :-) Regards, Spiritia 20:31, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Images listed for deletion

Здравей и благодаря за чудесните снимки! Струва ми се, че си оставила старата снимка за изтриване на правилно място, въпреки че може да се отнесе и към speedy deletion, защото не е свободна и не се ползва в никакви статии. Поздрави, Todor→Bozhinov 15:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Ох, ако знаеш точната страница на speedy deletion на изображения, моля те, дай ми линк, аз доста търсих, но така и не намерих (в Комънс например си ги знам и нямам проблеми, но тук ми е една малка джунгла :-) ) А напоследък често ми се случва да излавям копивио в българската, привнесено от тук или обратно, та ми се налага... Благодаря за хубавите думи за снимката, ако се сещаш други несвободни снимки на сгради в София казвай да ходя да ги повтарям и да пускам свободни. Можеш да прегледаш и качените от мен снимки от цяла България и да ползваш за статиите тук. Старая е и цели категории да отварям и пълня, за удобство. Аз сравнително рядко добавям снимки тук (най-много интеруикита), преко сили ми е, и разчитам на хора като теб и Cameltrader, които поддържат статиите на английски за България. Поздрави, --Spiritia 17:04, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Grigor Dimitrov

A tag has been placed on Grigor Dimitrov requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JASpencer (talk) 22:41, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

(New) Lexington, Ohio

As I was reading the article on New Lexington, Ohio, I saw that there was a Bulgarian article on the village — apparently because of Januarius MacGahan. However, to my non-Bulgarian-understanding eyes, the Bulgarian article seems to think that MacGahan was born in New Lexington, rather than in Lexington, Ohio, his actual birthplace. Could you please fix this? Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 14:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
