[edit] Category:G.I. Joe
Hi. Since Category:G.I. Joe characters is already a subcategory of Category:G.I. Joe, there's no need to include articles in both categories. The practice here is to include articles that belong in the subcategory only in the subcategory, otherwise it's redundant. Cheers! BD2412 talk 23:17, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Web-screenshot tag
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. I've noticed you've uploaded some images tagged with {{web-screenshot}}. This tag is not meant to be used for images that came from Web pages; it's meant to be used for images of Web pages (such as Image:Google screenshot.png, for example). I've retagged the images below as having no license information. Please make sure that Wikipedia has permission to use these images. Then edit the image description pages to include information about the licenses these images are under. You may find an appropriate tag at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags or Wikipedia:Template messages, or if none of these fit you may write a description of the license yourself. You may want to refer to the image use policy. If the use of this image on Wikipedia is a copyright violation, please follow the steps at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion to nominate this image to be deleted. If you have any questions, please feel free to post a message on my talk page. —Bkell 17:28, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for revisiting these image description pages, but "edited Web screenshot" and "edited image" don't give any information about the source or copyright status of these images. Wikipedia cannot use copyrighted images without the permission of the copyright holder, except when the use of such images falls under "fair use" (read the fair use article for more information). We must establish, for every image on Wikipedia, that the use of this image in Wikipedia articles is legal under United States copyright law. This is the purpose of all those image copyright tags.
- You need to go back to these images and, for each one, clearly state the original source and choose an appropriate image copyright tag that accurately describes the license the image is being used under. If we cannot establish the original source and license that allows an image to be used on Wikipedia, we must unfortunately delete the image to avoid violating U.S. copyright law.
- Again, if you have any questions about all this, or would like some help in determining which copyright tag to use, please post a message on my talk page. —Bkell 08:07, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hello again. I see you've changed the tags on these images back to {{web-screenshot}}. Now we're back where we started. The problem with the {{web-screenshot}} tag on these images is that they are not images of Web pages. They are pictures of G.I. Joe characters, not Web pages. So the {{web-screenshot}} tag does not apply to these images and cannot justify their use on Wikipedia.
- We must have source and license information for all images on Wikipedia. This is not just some annoying Wikipedia policy; we need this information because we must comply with United States laws. I see you have included source information for Image:Destro.jpg, but the other two have no information at all about where they came from. And none of these three has any justification for why their use on Wikipedia is legal under United States copyright law. Please find out if these images can legally be used on Wikipedia by contacting the copyright holder. If the copyright holder gives this permission, then you need to look through the list of image copyright tags and select the appropriate tag from this list (if none of them fit quite right, choose the nearest approximation and then give more details in a paragraph below the tag). If we do not have permission from the copyright holder to use this image, then we must delete it, unless it happens to satisfy the four requirements necessary to qualify as fair use. In this case, you can choose one of the fair use tags to use on the image description page. If it turns out that the use of these images is a copyright violation, then you can follow the steps at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion to nominate them to be deleted.
- Please spend some time fixing these problems. If I can be of any help to you, post a message on my talk page. —Bkell 18:28, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Image:Destro.jpg looks fine now. It has a source and a copyright tag that makes sense. However, the other two images, Image:Gijoesigma6.jpg and Image:Hawkgijoe.jpg, are still missing source information. If you got them from a Web page, the address of the Web page would be all that's needed. Sorry to keep bothering you like this, but we really need this information. —Bkell 05:28, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 24
Before you continue creating more articles on seasons of 24, please check that what you are writing is not already well-covered at 24 (television), as otherwise your pages may be deleted or merged and your work wasted.
Thanks for your contributions! Stifle 14:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Joes2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Joes2.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 23:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: You forgot Cover Girl
I got your message. I was a big fan of GIJOE and I notice that you did not complete listing of characters. I have seen Cover Girl often in comic books and cartoon. I am talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Joe:_A_Real_American_Hero and I wonder if you have fix this connecting to catorgy GIJOE that has complete listing of characters? I put "more information...." under your character list. Have you read his message? ""Category:G.I. Joe Hi. Since Category:G.I. Joe characters is already a subcategory of Category:G.I. Joe, there's no need to include articles in both categories. The practice here is to include articles that belong in the subcategory only in the subcategory, otherwise it's redundant. Cheers!
