WOW[edit]

"if I stayed - I would've lost my life, or lost my soul - for the moment that I would fire a gun (regardless to where is it pointed) - my very point of existence would have died forever, never to be resurrected; with that single shot."

Bosnia ethnic map, 1991[edit]

Hey. I got the original ethnic map of the university of belgrade for bosnia for 1991. Ceha's indeed is an edited version that shows croats and bosniaks more numerous, far more than in 1981. Tell me, how can I upload it? This is map is part of a book so I can scan it... but what then is the copywrite status? I don't want to upload it and have it deleted.

Funny story[edit]

Hi, I just heard that you were unblocked. This is hilarius. Supposedly, someone stole your account. Again.

So, there is "another" active wikipedian in your vicinity using the same IP for 2 years, and you don't know who this is and how to stop him from stealing your identity.

This is hilarius. What is even more hilarius is that en:wiki have admins who are ready to buy this fairytale.

Good luck with your future sockpuppets. Anything goes here. --Ante Perkovic (talk) 13:11, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

...You are mistaken, my friend. Pax is currently studying at the University of Belgrade...which, as do most schools throughout the world with internet access, share IP addresses...So it couldn't have been Pax who did such a thing, as we all know PAx wouldn't commit to such crimes...Pax is a good Wikipedian, and I stand by that. --Prevalis (talk) 22:24, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And we are supposed to believe you ,just because you say that??? LOL--Añtó| Àntó (talk) 09:20, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I'm concerned, I feel that even if Pax did use sockpuppets he's been banned for quite a while and deserves a second chance. (A third chance, however, is a different matter as I'm sure we'll all agree.) --DIREKTOR (TALK) 09:34, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Let's think this way.

What a person whose wiki-identity is stolen do? It would propably immediately contact some admin and tried to take back his account and win back the respect of the comunity.

What a person who was blocked for having 70 sockpuppets would do? He would waited 3 months so noone can recheck his old IP addresses, and then he would claim that this "identity thief" used inly his job's IP address.

Pax waited 3 months and few days.

So, people, don't be naive, or even worse - don't knowingly support sockmaster just because you share (greater-serbian) political views with him.

--Ante Perkovic (talk) 06:22, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

important[edit]

It is of huge importance, that you tell the copywrite status of the 1991 ethnic map that you uploaded. Ceha is trying to get it deleted because of copywrite status. If you created it you can say it's your creation and are releasing it to the public domain. This way the map can be secured and not deleted. (LAz17 (talk) 21:26, 3 December 2008 (UTC)). These are your maps which need copywrite status... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:BH1991.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:BH1991.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:BH1991.png Please also leave a comment in the talk page of those maps, as we need to keep them. (LAz17 (talk) 21:26, 3 December 2008 (UTC)).[reply]

And do tell us how you made them. Cause if you made them editing (or coloring) anything remotly similar to [1] than it should be deleted because you did not have copyright to edit that kind of data. You had to get submunicipal borders from somewhere. Also according to Laz, those maps are not correct and do not show settlment borders [2], see eastern tip of Derventa, Donji Višnjik settlment. No copywrite rights, bad borders, bad data. Simple solution, simple deletion. --Čeha (razgovor) 22:41, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ceha, you made your maps by editing other maps. That's a fact. I see nothing wrong with coloring over the national geographic map. Pax is under no obligation to tell us how he created his maps. Be it painting over, using a base map, or doing all sorts of other things such as paint, GIS, photoshop, or other things. According to me, Pax's map is far more accurate than the miserable map(s) that you support, some which have already been deleted. (LAz17 (talk) 05:35, 5 December 2008 (UTC)).[reply]

Laz, try to read wikipedia's policy about copywrite. Editing maps without copywrite writes on those belgrade's maps(which he did do) is a breach of copywrite. Editing any map (including National gographics) without premision of the author is a breach of copywrite contract. Only of my maps which were deleted were due to copywrite problems.
For all the maps, according to wikipedia policy, author must give checkablle sources so it can be validated. So, yes, Pax obligation is to tell us how he created those maps and if they are in any breach with wiki policies (which they are) they will be deleted.
As for my maps of which do we argue about they are made by coloring blank municipal map of BiH (which can be downloaded from the net with edit copywrites) and bih census of 1991 and other sources which are listed there.
Laz, please, try to comprehend than according to you is not a valid wikipedia mesure and that you should stick to wikipedia rules. They, on all possible levels, do promote deletion of Pax's map. Only reason why it hasn't been done yet is because of our outgoing discussion. Hower, as it reaches it's end, those maps will be deleted for certain. --Čeha (razgovor) 07:49, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that you do not understand one thing. When I took cartography, our professor said that nobody can attack someone for using a certain base-map, when it comes to copywrite issues. Basemaps really can not be copywrited. It is what is on the basemap. Furthermore, it is okay to reproduce a map that looks like another map, but which is a bit different. Pax probably used GIS to get some cadastral sub-municipal borders, and then when he finished he just removed the borders, which is easy to do in GIS. The point is that you want to get his cartography skills and other stuff, so that you can enhance the quality of your bad maps, to try to make it look like they are good. (LAz17 (talk) 16:42, 5 December 2008 (UTC)).[reply]
Laz, you are a bit paranoid, aren't you? Those maps were made by editing (probably in paintbrush)map (of which you claim it is from Belgrade's University, and which can be found on Rastko pages. I advised you to read [3] and [4] because you confuse fredom of information legistlation with public domain. There is no blank submunicipal basemap of bih whith free copywrite and you and Pax can be blocked if eather of you do post copyrighted material despite appropriate warnings. --Čeha (razgovor) 04:25, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually all base maps are free. Nobody can persecute someone for what they use as a base map. They can only quarrel over what is shown on the map, if it is too similar. I can take a rand mcnally map of a state of the US, scan it, delete everything on there asides from the border of the state, and put whatever I want on it, and it would be okay. It is not possible to persecute based on the base map. Furthermore, one can re-create base maps. And lastly, if this is true what you say, then nobody can make any new maps that are accurate. You are using a bosnian base map for the entire country, so by your logic, it must be deleted ASAP. (LAz17 (talk) 19:28, 6 December 2008 (UTC)).[reply]

Ceha, you see this map?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DemoBIH2006a.png You took that and changed the colors as well as other things. Why should your new version of this map not be deleted? Same stuff. (LAz17 (talk) 21:11, 6 December 2008 (UTC)).[reply]


Pax is not aware that he is unblocked... is he? (LAz17 (talk) 19:29, 6 December 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Laz, again, do you read wikipedia policies or? Did you read what copywrite had sorce of this map [5] ? According to copywrite I had rights to change it. Pax's map does not have needed copywrite. I'm sorry to tell you that, again. If you can find apropriate base map wich shows submunicipial borders of BiH from institution which has the right to show it and which does not have copywrite issues, do please tell me. I'm very interested in that kind of map>:)
Pax's map are going to be deleted because of the breech of copywrite. Simple as that. Do try to read wiki policy before going into the discussion. --Čeha (razgovor) 07:03, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually these maps may be perfectly fine. We need to hear what PAX says. And he need not say how he made it, as it is legal to use any base map. His map does not have any boundaries inside the country. (LAz17 (talk) 04:47, 9 December 2008 (UTC)).[reply]

Due to wikipedia policies, maps has been deleted. Laz do try to read previous conversation I'm not going to explain it all ab infinitum.--Čeha (razgovor) 06:52, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Email[edit]

Sorry but I can't trust you like earlier and because of that our only possibility is to talk on discussion pages. user:Thatcher has fallen on your words but every checkuser is knowing story about 3 months.

Like we have spoken in better times about Podgorica Assembly I am not interested in emotional arguments and personal thinking, but only in sources. All sources are speaking that annexation of Montenegro has been against Montenegrin laws. If you want more data which is not in article: Podgorica Assembly has been against points 2 and 70 of Montenegro constitution.

All statements which can be declared questionable are supported by sources, and because of that I can't understand where is problem. It is important to notice that event writen in article are supported by montenegrin historians, school books ..... I can understand that Serbia and people from Montenegro which are today for union with Serbia see things differently and this can be added in article, but only in separated section using rules Wikipedia:Fringe theories. In my thinking this is only possible solution if you want to add your theories--Rjecina (talk) 10:15, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pozdrav prevalis. Imaš 2 izvora i većina ti se može naći u mojoj raspravi s Lazom [6]. Međutim s obzirom na dužinu, dvje stvari su najbitnije:
  • Podopćinske granice prikazane na slici nisu granice naselja. Ovdje se nalazi prilično dobra karta (bar tako mislim) položaja i granica naselja [7], a Pax-ova karta ima iste granice kao i na [8]. Pogledaj onaj mali dio špic općine Derventa na istoku. Gornji Višnjik. Drugačije. Korisnik Laz tvrdi da je to zato jer su to granice katastarskih jedinica a ne naselja [9]
  • Podaci koje je korisnik Laz17 koristio za prikaz toga se razlikuju od popisa stanovništva 1991, što možeš vidjeti na [10] pod podnaslovom valid data. Imaš i neke podatke za kupres pod podnaslovom Kupres data request gdje vidiš razliku barem na području jedne općine (Laz je pustio još par općina, ali te rasprave su poslije izbrisane).

A glavni razlog ti je što su karte vjerojatno pokupljenje s www.rastko.org što su POV stranice (velikosrpske). Uglavnom, Pax ih je vjerojatno odtuda pokupio i zatim prefarbao. S obzirom da nije imao valjan copywrite, niti izvore karte su sada izbrisane.
U svakom slučaju, dodatna objašnjenja ne škode. Pozdrav,
--Čeha (razgovor) 07:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ceha, da ti nesto priopcim... podatci sa http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategorija:Popis_stanovni%C5%A1tva_u_Bosni_i_Hercegovini_1991. su takreci isti ko sam mojim podatcima. Mozda se razlikuje broj stanovnika za nekoliko ljudi, ali je procenat isti. Dakle nije bitno koji se podatci koriste. Problem je da ti koristis podatke sa http://www.fzs.ba/Podaci/nacion%20po%20mjesnim.pdf sta je totalno sranje. Ko sto vidimo, taj tvoj PDF file je sranje, zato sto neprikazuje sva naselja. Najbolji primer je glamoc. Naravno da nikad necu da priznam taj glupi pdf file. Ali priznajem taj sa hrvatke vikipedije, jer su ISTI procenti kao i moji podatci, sa sve te jedinice.
Te karte nisu iz rastko organizacije. Te karte su sa univerziteta beograda, i rastko ih samo prikazuje. Nije rastko previo te karte. karte neodgovaraju cehi jer se surprostavljaju sa njegovom ustaskom propagandom koja zeli da prikaze da ima sto vise hrvata po herceg bosni, centralnoj bosni, i posavini. Ceha pljuje na svim mapama, dal su sa univerziteta beograda, sa magazina national geographic, ili sa drugih izvora. Otvoreno je rekao da nece da stavlja mala srpska naselja na mape, ali u privremeno ima mala hrvatska naselja. Uzas je od coveka, treba bit izbrisan sa wikipedije ako se ja pitam. Plus, zove me slep jer je on slep - mozes na diskusiji videti da mu lepo priopcim mape od kljuca i od sanskog mosta... covek nevidi gde su njegovi podatci pogresni... ko da jede pa moram da mu sazvacem, da mu sve objasnim da svati to sto se jasno vidi ali on zaboga nevidi. On je nacionalista koji je protiv znanja, nego je za propagandu velike hrvatske. (LAz17 (talk) 21:45, 9 December 2008 (UTC)).[reply]
Ok, Laz za ove optužbe si prijavljen na ANI-ju. Mislim da sam pokazao i previše strpljenja oko nekih pitanja.
I nemoj lagati. Rekao sam da karte ne prikazuju enklave manje od 150 stanovnika. To što si ti ugrožen (i uskoro blokiran) to je tvoj problem. U općini Glamoč uopće nema hrvatskih naselja.
A da si malo pročitao pravila wikipedije shvatio bi što su službeni izvori, što je provjera podataka i što može proći kao valjani podatak. Ono što si ti meni slao nema nikakve reference, ne može se nikako provjeriti i može sasvim lagano biti izmišljeno. Nakon što te odblokiraju, potrudi se proučiti pravila, da se incidenti ne bi ponavljali.
Što se tiče podataka, ponoviti ću ti još jednom, i to blago jer mogu vidjeti da imaš problema sa shvaćanjem. Taj pdf file po kojemu cijelo vrijeme pljuješ je službeni podatak. Prilikom izrade karte su korišteni podaci po naseljima iz knjige bilten 234, što lagano možeš provjeriti po nacionalnim wikipedijama s prostora bivše jugoslavije.
U budućnosti, nadam se da ćeš se malo civilizirati te da se nećeš ponašati ko 13o godišnje djete.

Data which I talk about is that data from ex-yu wikis. That is the official data from 234 Bilten and census 1991.
Again, Laz, I would like to ask you that you do not lie. You mentioned Glamoč, which can be seen on ani; Discussion is indeed leading nowhere. Ceha has openly said that his map is a simplified map, so he will not take into account small settlements of certain groups. Let me clue you all in to what this means. For example, he justified excluding two serbian regions in the municipality tomislavgrad, because he says they are too small. Yet, he includes two even smaller croat regions in a nearby municipality, glamoc. How can he know what he is doing when he is on purpose excluding serbian areas because of small size, yet not excluding croat ones that are even smaller? That's just mind boggling. It spells of propaganda and POV. (LAz17 (talk) 16:19, 9 December 2008 (UTC)).

I have some text about him in the Historical Lexicon of Montenegro, but if you'd like, you may e-mail me the book. Holmia, with proper references, can be created even if it doesn't exactly pertain to Wikipedia guidelines, as it was significant in the Vasojevic clan history, unless you suggest we add Holmia as a section within the Vasojevici (or Nikola Radonjic) article. However, in the Lexicon, his name is given as Nikola Milošević Vasojević, son of Prince Staniša Mihaila Milošević Vasojević. If you say otherwise, then so be it, you'd know better. But I'd suggest the article be named Nikola, Knez of Vasojevici, Nikola, Prince of Vasojevici or Nikola Vasojevic. You decide, because I, at this point, am undecided. --Prevalis (talk) 11:15, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name of Montenegro[edit]

I nominated article about Montenegro on Serbian Wikipedia for featured article, but I'm not sure from where name Montenegro came from. Various states that it came from edict to Vranjina monastery, but who gave the edict and when? Uroš in 1276 or Milutin in 1296? And do you have something about Venetian, Dubrovnik and Kotor sources for names Cerna Gora, Montagna Negra, Montenegro and Monte Negro? -- Bojan  21:23, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Well, there is a faction among Serbian Wikipedians who calls for overciting. But now they are minor problem. What it is your opinion about article Montenegro regarding NPOV? It is clear now that the article wont pass the vote, but I'll renominate it later. -- Bojan  15:07, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mhhm, sources for what? I think that more important is what' is referenced rahter than how many references are in a article. Anyway, I'll expand article for the next nomination. -- Bojan  08:31, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Montenegro makeover[edit]

Hi,

Since you are the creator of this WikiProject, was wondering what you thought of this makeover created here. I've posted a notice on the WikiProject's talk page here. Let me know what you think, if it is ok with the group to merge the original page to the new one created. Regards. Wiki Raja (talk) 22:30, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mapa - Ugrin Čak[edit]

Zašto si uklonio moju mapu iz članka o Ugrinu Čaku sa objašnjenjem da je sporna? šta smatraš spornim na mapi? (odgovori mi ovde, molim te) PANONIAN 13:42, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Translation:

Why have you removed my map from the article on Ugrin Csak with the definition that it is questionable? What do you consider questionable on the map (please respond to me in here).

That was a long time ago, I don't really remeber. If I recall, the borders were far too OR to be acceptable to the wikipedia. --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 10:15, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand what you want to say (šta znači "the borders were far too OR"?). Can I improve or change this map in some way to be OK for you? Please tell me what I should change there? OK? PANONIAN 20:44, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bribery?![edit]

I belive that the structures of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, namely its Ministry of Faiths bribed the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople to give up its jurisdiction over the Orthodox Faith in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

See http://www.istocnik.com/articles/38/dijaspora.html

Stop reverting the information in the article about the House of Kosača, we must report information to the respect of that time and age and not some modern re-interpretation. Please stop inserting false information.

It is most clear what has been done. Masking the word Orthodox with the wikilink to Serbian Orthodox Church.

Podgorica[edit]

I'm translating article about Podgorica, but the English article has poorly written part about history (mostly copied from the city's website) and administrative division. Are you familiar with this topic? Also, I need a source for article Crna Gora is Slavic term for dark, impassable forests? -- Bojan  14:37, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is Jovan Erdeljanović source for Значење имена лежи у словенском топониму за велике и густе горе или мрке шумовите предјеле.[тражи се извор]? Please, check when Ottomans seized Podgorica, in 1474 or in 1478 (when Žabljak Crnojevića fall). And I don't understand: The municipality of Podgorica consists of Podgorica City Proper and two subdivisions called Urban municipalities (Градске општине, Gradske opštine), Golubovci and Tuzi. What is City Proper in Serbian? If this means Uže gradsko jezgro, then there is no suburban places beyond City Proper and two urban municipalities? This is so confusing for me. -- Bojan  10:44, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Need help[edit]

Hey friend. Looking through the discussion page on Skanderbeg, I can see that you tried to put the possibility that his mother was Serbian on the page but for no apparent reason was denied. I am trying to do the same and even after providing 4 published sources, I continue to be denied. I was wondering if you had any additional sources I could use to prove my case? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Serbia123 (talkcontribs) 18:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Participation in Wikipedia Research[edit]

PaxEquilibrium,

Your Request for Adminship (RfA) process was reviewed and studied by our research team at Carnegie Mellon University early in our project to gain insights into the process. We reviewed what voters discussed about your case, and what qualifications you brought to the table as a candidate. In total 50 cases were personally read and reviewed, and we based our further research questions in part on your case.

In continuing our research, I would like to personally invite you to participate in a survey we are conducting to get perspective from people who have participate in the RfA process. The survey will only take a few minutes of your time, and will aid furthering our understanding of online communities, and may assist in the development of tools to assist voters in making RfA evaluations. We are NOT attempting to spam anyone with this survey and are doing our best to be considerate and not instrusive in the Wikipedia community. The results of this survey are for academic research and are not used for any profit nor sold to any companies. We will also post our results back to the Wikipedia community.

This survey is part of an ongoing research project by students and faculty at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science and headed by Professor Robert Kraut.


Take the survey


Thank you!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free comment on my talk page.

Unreferenced BLPs[edit]

Hello PaxEquilibrium! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 939 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Fair use rationale for File:41659492 monagbody.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:41659492 monagbody.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILYsock(TALK) 05:28, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Stjepan Gredelj requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. NW (Talk) 23:19, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:EvropskaSrbija1.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:EvropskaSrbija1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

File source problem with File:Boskovic.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Boskovic.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:30, 23 December 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 01:30, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Bosnia-Orthodox-1921.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Bosnia-Orthodox-1921.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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 Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia: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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 01:30, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
