File permission problem with File:Yale Art + Architecture Building, New Haven CT, Window Replacement 2007.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Yale Art + Architecture Building, New Haven CT, Window Replacement 2007.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. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 01:01, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Architecture

Hello and welcome to the WikiProject Architecture - here's the bulletin - if you don't like it just delete it from your talk page, otherwise, it automatically updates.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Yale Art and Architecture Restoration.jpg

[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Yale Art and Architecture Restoration.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Stefan2 (talk) 19:29, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SenchDragon, I've belatedly replied to your Peer Review request at Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture/Peer review/Hoffmann Architects. Sionk (talk) 13:53, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the 'Barnstar' too, unexpected but much appreciated. I've just noticed I already left a lenghty comment on the article's Talk page. My how quickly time has passed :) Sionk (talk) 19:13, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP Poetry and The Canterbury Tales task force

[edit]

As someone who is listed as a participant for WikiProject Poetry, I hope you will be interested to learn of an attempt to revive the WP and alongside this the creation of task force to improve coverage of The Canterbury Tales. We are currently looking for participants to help set up the basics. Please get involved if you can, and we can hopefully revive this important project within Wikipedia! Many thanks, MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 18:37, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, MasterOfHisOwnDomain--Not my area of expertise, as I've only studied the Tales at a rudimentary level, but I will take a look at the page and see what I might be able to contribute. Thanks for letting me know! --SenchaDragon (talk) 15:29, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thank you. At the moment we're just looking for consensus on the article content etc., so any opinion, expert or otherwise, is much appreciated. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 17:18, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The World Destubathon

[edit]

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize and around $340 (£250) worth of prizes for Architecture articles, both global and for the UK and Ireland. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:26, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
