Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages such as Talk:Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks.

File permission problem with File:Jason Palmer Website.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Jason Palmer Website.jpeg. 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

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)) 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. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. SounderBruce 03:12, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Toad AndyJ.jpeg

A tag has been placed on File:Toad AndyJ.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation of https://www.foxcarolina.com/2024/02/29/here-are-10-libertarian-candidates-2024-nc-primary-election/ and has no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. reppoptalk 03:41, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Allan Parker Baseball Card Kernals.webp

Thank you for uploading File:Allan Parker Baseball Card Kernals.webp. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Vladlen Manilov / 03:42, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Control copyright icon Hello LordBirdWord! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Our policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 03:49, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all of this information. I believe this is about the photo uploading. I believe I had the full right to upload “Jason Karrol.webp”, and people said so too. I also cropped the “Jason Palmer Website.jpeg” so that should be public domain. I 100% get why any files of Toad Anderson are getting deleted. I 100% understand the copyright issues, and I will not in the future. LordBirdWord (talk) 03:54, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You screenshotting and cropping an image does not make it your image nor does it make it public domain. The image is still copyrighted by the photographer who took it. The Karrol photograph also needs to give permission through VRT, a simple statement saying that they gave permission on the file page and nowhere else doesn't do much. reppoptalk 03:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How can I take down some of the photos? LordBirdWord (talk) 04:09, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can add ((db-author)) to files you uploaded to request their deletion. -- Whpq (talk) 04:14, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 California Libertarian presidential primaries moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 2024 California Libertarian presidential primaries, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

License tagging for File:Crusifino Fight at Crystal River FL Feb. 9 2024.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Crusifino Fight at Crystal River FL Feb. 9 2024.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Sorry about this technicality, but Wikipedia images must be usable by anyone for any purpose.
