Thanks for uploading File:InColdBlood.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:26, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploading Image:Worldview culturalcreative.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media 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
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image 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:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image 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 uploaded by following this link. Images 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. Skier Dude (talk) 07:12, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Endulge my abrupt request. I am a university student working on a research about Wikipedia. I'm interested in the process arguments are settled here and the thoughts and feelings of the involved users.
Since my work is about understanding 'how' things are done, live data is crucial. I really need to find something concrete; superficial observations will never do. I need Insight, understanding, genuine experience...and this can only come from actual users like you. If I've read right, I thing I've seen a debate you got involved.
Could you afford an online interview? Time and date is up to you; the interview can be via onling messenger or by e-mail, or also something else if you'd like to. If you are interested, Please contact me via User Talk within May 9th. Thanks.

Hi, My father is publishing a small book of his memoirs (in the US). It will have a small circulation (<200) since it is mainly of interest to his family and friends. There is a chapter devoted to his memories of Japan since he lived there for several years. He loves the picture, GenbakuDome02, you posted on Wikipedia and would like to use it in his book. It would be an image that appears inside the book . I want to check if it is OK that he use the photo. If it is, he would like to credit the photo to you. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Dorine Starace Staraced (talk) 14:56, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
