Korean pottery vs Korean ceramics

Brit?? That's a laugh, although most of my great, great, great (etc....) grandparents came from Britain. No, I'm an American. I'm almost a Mayflower descendant - one of my ancestors was on the third expedition to New England. I live in the American West and spend a great deal of my time working with clay -- both as a teacher and as a producer of functional clay works. Yes -- I'm a potter and an archaeologist too! I've always got my hands in some kind of mud.

The differences we've long been discussing on this page are, from my perspective, based on a language preference in Asian cultures for "ceramics" and the western clay communities preference for "pottery." Korean contributors (see top of the talk page on the article) seemed to believe that "pottery" was a low-class term and denigrated the "art" ceramics of their country. Only tiles and industrial products were "pottery." Both of these communities appear to define the two words differently. But we aren't alone. When it comes to definitions, some contributors to other clay related articles in Wikipedia insist that vessels -- of whatever sort, from whatever culture -- are pottery, and non-vessels are ceramic items (see the talk page on Pottery). When people from art galleries and art academia show up, we often get a third perception. And historians and archaeologists may have a fourth viewpoint. And then the ceramic scientists chip in.

If you look around, you can see that the debate is broader than just this article, and that Wikipedia titles in this area are very inconsistent (see Chinese ceramics). I have a strong personal preference for pottery as the generic term, and use it that way in my writing. But I have an even stronger wish to come to some kind of consensus, some standards for clay related articles. You appear to be coming at this article from a different perspective, dealing with the history or art culture of Asia. But I suspect you can see the value to the Wikipedia reader of consistent terms for related topics. Would you be interested in working at common definitions of these terms? For many articles?

I won't move the article again, just yet. But I do wish you hadn't moved it until consensus was reached. Community involvement in decisions and consensus are considered among the highest of the Wiki-community virtues, and consensus is a Wiki policy. WBardwin 07:11, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. I have moved it to my User Discussion page, like this one. I certainly have great respect for Asian pottery traditions, and do think we should honor source definitions and compromise whenever possible. But internal consistency would be of great value to the English speaking/reading public for whom we are writing the encyclopedia. As of now, there is little consistency in vocabularly on the art and clay related articles.

English has great flexibility in vocabulary and usage, but that strength does lead to problems in translation from other cultures. The three (just three, initially, I hope) terms we are discussing come to modern English from three different sources. "Ceramic" comes from the Greek κέράμους "of clay, earthen" and κέράμος "things of clay". "Pot" and "pottery" come from the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language tree, in Old English pott and pottere simply meant "pots". And "porcelain" comes from a later language, Italian, porcellana "a type of shell" which I assume was adopted for the color and translucency of the final product. When I'm writing about pottery, I draw from my training in archaeology and art history as well as the practical experience I have as a potter. My working definitions are as follows:

Ceramic: composed of or relating to clay.
Pottery: an object formed of prepared clay and minerals, and chemically processed by controlled heat.
Porcelain: a category of clay and clay products, a clay body chemically compounded to produce a finished white, translucent ware.

But, believe me, these definitions are not common to all English speakers. For example, during my lifetime, the word "ceramic" has taken on many shades of meaning. The academic community (fond of words of Greek and Latin origin) has given ceramics a somewhat exalted class oriented place. Sculpture, art, and objects made of clay are labeled "ceramic" if they are fine, beautiful, used by the elite, or considered to have great value; but are "clay figurines" or "pots" if they were used by common people or had more practical use. This carries over to modern art galleries, who like to show "ceramic artists" rather than "potters". However, in the basement of the archaeology building, all of these objects end up beling called "pots" or "potshards". In contrast, in the western US, a craft movement arose in the last fifty years that focused on low fired figurines made from slip clay (some a low fire porcelain) formed in molds . People could take the "green" figures, sand them, paint them with low fired glazes, and have them fired to produce a keepsake (generally not a work of art). This movement came to be known as "ceramics" and shops and classes emerged teaching "ceramic" processes and firing methods. My local clay supplier does about half their clay business with these kind of shops. Although this is a reasonable use for clay, and has been throughout the ages, the use of the term "ceramics" has become even more muddied. When people call my pottery studio to inquire about "ceramics", I have to question them about what they are looking for lest they show up at my door wanting to paint figurines rather than buy mugs, bowls, vases or my more art oriented work.

So, could you go into detail about the origins of the terms (Korean, Japanese, or Chinese?) that you are translating from? What do they really mean in modern usage? From my definitions above, you can see that I would consider Korean pottery and porcelain redundant as porcelain ware is also a type of pottery. And an article on Korean ceramics should include all Korean material made from clay - maybe even including ceramic computer components. :-) A section on appropriate Korean vocabulary in the article itself could solve some of these problems, and be interesting too. Thanks for responding. WBardwin 00:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. The western term "pottery", particularly with modern ware, has no implication of firing temperature. Pottery has been produced throughout history at ever increasing temperatures. In general, early pottery around the world was produced from residual, native clays which were rich in minerals and salts. This pollution of the clay lowered the firing temperature, so that these clays matured at fairly low temperatures and were quite brittle. Western archaeologists and potters call this type of clay "earthenware", i.e. I assume, your "pottery." Some modern ware is still produced from this clay at low temperatures - for example flower pots/planters often exported from Mexico (usually labeled terra-cotta) and tourist and art oriented ware by native peoples in the American Southwest and Mexico. Higher fired ware (the equivalent of your "hard" ware or "porcelain") is usually distinguished in Europe/America between ""stoneware" " and "porcelain," based on the amount of mineral content still in the clay. As iron is the primary mineral which can be present but still allow a high firing temperature, stoneware clays have a measurable iron content while porcelains or china clays (natural and commercially formulated) have almost none.

So, on a personal note, I produce in high fired ware, primarily in stoneware, although my clay closet does contain a supply of my favorite brilliantly white porcelain. So -- despite the color of the finished ware, would all my "pottery" be defined as "porcelain" in Asian terminology? If so, I can begin to see why Asian contributors to Wiki would attach a low fired or cheap label to the use of "pottery." This correspondence is helpful, if long. Again, this type of info/comparison of terms would be useful in an article, even if we don't place it in the Korean "pottery" article. WBardwin 06:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Hi there! I've noticed that you've uploaded some images to Wikipedia over the last few months and tagged them using the {{PD-self}} tag. I'd like to ask you a couple of questions/make a couple of comments about these images if I may:

For some of the images in the image summary you've include the words "fair use". As you may or may not know this phrase has a specific meaning in copyright law (see Fair use) and on Wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Non-free content) which contradicts the meaning of {{PD-self}} license tag that you have used. Have you released these images into the public domain? Or did you mean to restrict their use? If you did mean to restrict their use you should change the copyright tag to a more suitable one - for a selection see WP:TAG.
To be able to release an image into the public domain using the {{PD-self}} tag you must be the copyright holder and be willing to release all rights to the image. If this is not the case for all the images you have uploaded and tagged using this tag - the tag needs to be changed.
If at all possible uploaded images should include a full image description. A template exists to help uploaders provide this - see {{Information}}. It would be really good if you could add this information to the images you've uploaded.
Finally....it would be better if images released into the public domain were uploaded directly on to the Wikimedia Commons as Wikipedia is not an image repository and should only really host images that have licenses that are not compatible with the Commons which only accepts freely licensed images.

I apologise if you are already familiar with this information - but also feel free to ask any questions you may still have about what I've written. Madmedea 19:36, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am　the copyright holder and release all rights.--Iwanafish 23:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly unfree image

I have listed the file Image:IMG 0182 Wu.JPG at possibly unfree images (and it will probably be deleted), because you make mutually incompatible statements about its copyright status (fair use and public domain). If you are the copyright holder, some evidence that this is the case would be helpful. - Mike Rosoft 18:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update: you seem to be mass-uploading images from some website; please stop doing that, immediately. Should you continue uploading images with missing or incorrect information on its source or copyright status, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Also, unless you clarify the copyright status of the images you have uploaded within a week, I will nominate all of them for deletion. - Mike Rosoft 18:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question for Mike

I must be doing something completely wrong. The photo in question is one I myself took. When I uploaded it on Wiki I typed in "fair use" and selected the "public domain" notice. This I thought was the correct process. I had thought that by doing this I had relinquished my rights to the photo. That is what I intended. Please inform. --Iwanafish 01:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use means something completely different from what you seem to believe; it's a situation when the law permits you to use a work, whose copyright is held by somebody else, without the copyright holder's permission. An image cannot be both in public domain and used under fair use provisions. (See fair use, as well as Wikipedia policies and guidelines on fair use material.)
I am sorry if I have been too harsh on you and falsely suspected you. You know, Wikipedia takes copyright issues very seriously. So, do you confirm that you have taken all the photos you have uploaded yourself (we have had a rather infamous user plagiarizing material to Wikipedia, claiming to have written it himself), and that you agree to release it into public domain (i.e. with no restrictions on its use and re-use, unless mandated by law)? If so, then I will take your word for it and won't pressure you further. Regards, Mike Rosoft 09:23, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"A few Chinese characters in an article are certainly helpful. However too many creates an ugliness of empty boxes for ordinary English readers. --Iwanafish 05:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)"[reply]

This is a China-related articles, a few Chinese characters are definitely needed, and pinyin is always prefered. For better consistency, uniform templates are required. You don't own the article, I hope you get that, unreasonable removal is not allowed and either is cap size font. The same goes with your silent reverting with the inappropriate edit summary. Don't complain too much, it will not do you any good, save it for your self flatter photo. Gallery box is good, because the article you wrote is not too long, other than the arsy-varsy make-up poems, it not the matter of aesthetics but allow readers much easier to read.

Celadon pictures

Hi, my name's Eric, otherwise known as Pericles of Athens on English Wikipedia. I love the Longquan celadon ware images that you uploaded to wikipedia, and I am using the two Song Dynasty items in two of my articles I've created, Economy of the Song Dynasty and Society of the Song Dynasty. Although you have them dated to the Song period, I was curious if you knew the exact century (approximately) each item was made, since the Song era of China stretched from the 10th to 13th centuries. If you can remember, that would be very helpful.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 01:23, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dating

I dated the objects. One could argue that the vase was made a bit later, however the detail in the handles asks for 13th century. The warmer is very early Southern Song. --Iwanafish 15:49, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ouyang Xiu

This article is currently a GA candidate, but there is information from sources you entered that needs to be properly referenced. See the GA review section of the talk page for details.

Follow up in June 2009 - Iwanafish regarding the B-rated article Ouyang Xiu and the use of a questionable "source" material you have repeatedly inserted. The following is provided so you can correct the issues noted on the article discussion page. Your repeated reinsertion of the questionable material, without discussion other than attacking the messenger, is inappropiate. Warning templates referring to original research or unverified claims are used to encourage wiki editors to correct issues. Your overt and negative responses stress a lack of Civility to Wikipedia policies has been noted and are being documented. Your implied legal "threat" is covered in No legal threats and attacking the messenger is covered under No personal attacks the combined comments border on Harassment.

Citing sources and avoiding original research are inextricably linked. To demonstrate that you are not presenting original research, you must cite reliable sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and that directly support the information as it is presented.

"No original research" is one of three core content policies. The others are neutral point of view and verifiability. Jointly, these policies determine the type and quality of material that is acceptable in articles. Because they complement each other, they should not be interpreted in isolation from one another, and editors should familiarize themselves with all three.

Celadon

Hi! If you have time, could you be bothered to improve the celadon article, because it suffers from some grammatical errors and short/brief contents. I know you have already contributed much to it, but it could have potentials though.

BTW, Do you also have other celadon or porcelain images (especially Ming vase would be great, because for such well-known items, I can't believe that it would be hard to find images of it around) that could be uploaded to Wikipedia, that would be fanastic. Thanks!--Balthazarduju (talk) 22:45, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A Ming Vase-celadon photo should show quality of glaze. Historical changes in celadon were in the etched designs and colors. They attempted a popular appeal with decorative devices. Underglaze blue was putting them out of business. Ming celadon can somestimes be awful, but at other times interesting with the 14-15th century productions still admired at middle eastern destinations. In other words a photo of one of those.--Iwanafish (talk) 02:45, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits to the I Ching article

Iwanafish: Please stop inserting the current version of the "Westernization of the I Ching" paragraph into the article. Editorial decisions about an article are made on the talk page, by consensus. Concerns have been raised about the material in question, and, in its present form, the paragraph cannot stand. It is unsourced, and is from a particular point of view (that is, it is not neutral). If you wish to participate in the discussion on the talk page, that would be welcome. I believe that the paragraph could be re-written, sources found and many of the ideas included. However, as I have indicated in an edit summary, if you continue to insert that text into the article in its present form, it will be treated as vandalism and you could be blocked from editing.

Iwanafish, I posted this on the WP:AN/I page:

Having been a victim of more than one setup in my history on wikipedia, and having an interest and expertise in Chinese, this post caught my eye. When I investigated I found Iwanafish was not alone in wanting some of his edits included, despite Sunray's portrait. Indeed Iwanafish sourced one of his edits to p131 of Needham's classic. Sunray's rejection of Needham is most unwarranted. Needham's is one of the modern classics of world and China related scholarship. If his views on Chinese mysticism are not relevant then it is a very sad day for wikipedia. Having said that, I do not condone Iwanafish's style - though I point out that Sunray equally shares a tendency for reversion, and further, a tendency for ownership of the page in question. I recommend guidance for Iwanafish and Sunray, not the penalty Sunray seeks. Mccready (talk) 15:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sunray does not appear to be an administrator, so his posting of this message would appear unwarranted and a heavy handed tactic in an edit war. Nonetheless, you need to provide reliable sources for all your edits, not just the Needham quote. Mccready (talk) 15:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only difference between administrators and other editors is tools. As long as I follow policy, there is no reason why I shouldn't warn someone who is violating policy. This is no edit war. Please refer to the talk page if you doubt this. Sunray (talk) 11:01, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Which tag did you put on ceramic related images, fair use or PD-self?

Hello, Iwanafish. Thank you for sharing good images of yours to English Wikipedia, but I little confuse your image rationale. You wrote "fair use" in summaries, but put "PD-self" tag. If you want to claim that the images are all copyrighted, you should put either fair use template and provide fair use rationale or {{CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat}} I you distribute them under PD (best for Wikipedians..), you need to clarify the summary. --Appletrees (talk) 01:21, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

William Elliot Griffis

Your minor edit to William Elliot Griffis is unimpeachable, of course; but it caused me to wonder. As it happens, this word choice has remained unnoticed for more than a decade.

Revision as of 13:15, 15 October 2005 (edit) (undo)

User:Dedden (Talk | contribs)

Newer edit →

I checked the edit history in hopes that I might ask the original writer why the term "westernizing" was used rather than "modernizing," but it seems unlikely that the original Dutch Dedden contributor will recall. If you know, perhaps you wouldn't mind explaining your reasoning? Although I can point to no specific citation, I have the impression that Griffis himself would have understood his career in Japan as "Westernizing" -- and perhaps we can guess that others like Sir Rutherford Alcock and Sir Harry Parkes might have thought this term was sufficiently precise.

I myself prefer your word choice. I think "modernizing" is better, but I plan to remain on the look-out for a citation which would support a revert-edit to the use of "Westernizing" in this article and elsewhere. Do you see my point? "Modernizing" ≠ "Westernizing"? --Tenmei (talk) 14:08, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I moved your image to the Commons at File:Low tide on Whidbey Island.JPG, but I was interested in which beach it was taken at. Also, the description read "fair use"--could you clarify that?

April 2009

Iwanafish This is a warning for your disruptive edits.
Caution: do not violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you have done with Rehoboth Carpenter family.

Please use the article discussion page of Rehoboth Carpenter family to post your arguements for or against. Repeatedly removing another's edit without discussion or reason is disruptive.

Please communicate & discuss, please do not try to create an edit war. Several people have tried (by sending email to your various emails for some time) to communicate with you to help establish a neutral point of view regarding this and other articles.

I am asking a few Wiki editors to monitor Rehoboth Carpenter family.

John R. Carpenter La Mesa, CA Jrcrin001 (talk) 23:34, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your last two edits of Rehoboth Carpenter family back to the last version, it appears that the version you had changed it to was an older version from 2006 or 2007. I'm guessing this was probably accidental. riffic (talk) 07:23, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

or maybe not. Please bring your concerns to the talk page first, before making drastic changes to an article. Thanks riffic (talk) 07:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

again, you reverted this article, but the reason is unclear. Please bring your concerns to the talk page, thanks riffic (talk) 03:35, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

okay, another unclear, unexplained revert. Can you just give a quick heads up to the article's talk page? thanks riffic (talk) 01:18, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, This has now come up at WP:EAR. You need to explain what you're doing and join the discussion on the article's talk page, please, if you're going to be active at that page. Any other unexplained and/or undiscussed edits might be seen as vandalism or edit warring, and you're experienced enough an editor to know that's a bad thing. Thanks in advance, --AndrewHowse (talk) 15:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Let me add my voice here too. This is clearly a content dispute and your failure to engage in discussion with other editors is troubling and potentially disruptive. Please attempt to reach consensus on the article's talk page. Thank you. – ukexpat (talk) 12:43, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Iwanafish aka 160.244.140.202 This is a warning for your continuing disruptive edits.
Caution: do not violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you have done with Rehoboth Carpenter family and now Culham.

Please use the article discussion page of Rehoboth Carpenter family and Culham to post your arguements for or against. Repeatedly removing another's edit without discussion or reason is disruptive and wrong.

Please communicate & discuss, please do not start another edit war. Several people have tried (by sending email to your various emails for some time) to communicate with you to help establish a neutral point of view regarding this and other articles.

You refuse to discuss, talk or converse. Your actions indicate you are deliberately causing harm to these articles for no apparent reason. It is childish, unprofessional and wrong. You need to stop. Maybe it is time to contact your employer in Japan ...

7 May 2009

Warning!

To Iwanafish, alias 125.199.58.121 and 160.244.140.202, in response to your most recent reinsertion, this date, of a false assertion:

Your repeated insertion of the baseless claim (see Talk:Culham, Disputes section) that the Carpenters of Shalbourne, Weymouth, and Rehoboth originated in Culham violates Wikipedia standards pertaining to factual accuracy, neutrality, original research, and unverified claims. And your refusal to discuss these and similar violations in other Wikipedia articles ("Rehoboth Carpenter family" in particular) is at odds with Wikipedia's cooperative ethos.

If you persist, action will be taken against you. GeneZub (talk) 20:04, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but several of your recent edits removed maintenance templates from Wikipedia.

To Iwanafish, alias 125.199.58.121 and 160.244.140.202 Your 4 unexplained reversions to a non-standard format with references removed is unwarranted for that article and done within 3 hours.

Jrcrin001 (talk) 07:02, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. --> See: Rehoboth Carpenter family and at John Carpenter (bishop), John Carpenter, town clerk of London, and Culham.

Edit warring at Rehoboth Carpenter Family

Hello Iwanafish. A complaint about your edits has been filed at WT:AN3#3RR Violation on Rehoboth Carpenter Family & related Carpenter pages. My study of the history suggests that this complaint is justified. You repeatedly revert this article to a version that is supported *only by you*. Your unwillingness to participate on Talk has been extensively discussed by a variety of editors at Talk:Rehoboth Carpenter Family. I strongly recommend that you revert your most recent change at Rehoboth Carpenter Family to the version that was there before. If you don't do so, and if you continue to edit Wikipedia without responding to this complaint, you may be blocked for edit warring. EdJohnston (talk) 13:56, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To Iwanafish multiple user accounts to disrupt or vandal Wikipedia are a violation of Wikipedia policy and result in your account and aliases being listed as Vandalism-only account. The following policy references should be reviewed by you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Username_policy#Using_multiple_accounts It is recommended that contributors do not use multiple accounts without good reason, because the misuse of multiple accounts is a major problem on Wikipedia. Using multiple accounts to give the appearance of popularity to an idea, to avoid scrutiny, or to avoid a block or ban on another account are considered major abuses and are not tolerated on Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Username_policy#Dealing_with_inappropriate_usernames Administrators may issue username blocks under the following circumstances: Disruptive usernames that have clearly been created only to cause trouble should also be blocked indefinitely, but in such cases it is usually also desirable to block anonymous editing and prevent further accounts being created (enableautoblocks, and enable "prevent account creation"). Such disruptive usernames may containharassment or personal attacks, or be easily identifiable as a previously banned user or vandal. Any block issued as a result of a user's behavior may take their username into account, if it is part of the problem. Such a block may be extended to an indefinite block in order to disallow the username. Behavioural blocks are usually issued for disruption, incivility or personal attacks. Jrcrin001 (talk) 16:03, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

May 2009

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for Edit warring. You are welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below.

Long term edit warring on articles about people surnamed Carpenter. For example, at Rehoboth Carpenter Family. See the warning I left above, and the original complaint at WT:AN3#3RR Violation on Rehoboth Carpenter Family .26_related Carpenter pages. From the further complaints by other users above, I perceive that you have abused multiple accounts. If you ever hope to return to good standing on Wikipedia, the use of socks has to stop.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. 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, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:20, 8 November 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 22:20, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

File permission problem with File:Tripod Box Cover.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Tripod Box Cover.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

Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], 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 [email protected].

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.

Thanks for uploading File:Guan Lady.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 [email protected], 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 [email protected].

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. 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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
