Aboutmovies (talk) 06:38, 15 January 2012 (UTC) If I find something on the internet that doesn't have a copyright or contact information for the person who put it there then I am pretty sure that the person doesn't care if others use it. In order for there to be "ownership" there must be an "owner" that is identifiable. Think of it like this, if you find a penny on the street, does it belong to you? Could I spent a huge amount of time trying to find out who the penny belongs to before deciding to spend it? Let's be realistic here, shall we?

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Passive infrared sensor may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

File permission problem with File:Bicycle 01.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bicycle 01.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Misplaced Pages's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:19, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Another policy you should look into and familiarize yourself with is WP:TPG. Talk pages are used for the purposes of communication within Misplaced Pages; ownership of those pages belongs to the Misplaced Pages community, not an individual editor. That said, unless there is a further need to communicate with you in regard to your editing, I will no longer post here per your request. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:23, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:10, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
