Hello page watchers

[edit]

Hello everyone,

I'm back from an extended absence which was due to off-wiki personal reasons.

I've archived my old messages. If there's something you needed and it's still relevant, please leave me a new message.

Thanks

Steve

Hello Kingboyk, could I request a userfy of Draft:Salal Credit Union which you deleted as G13: Abandoned? I'd like to pick it back up. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:37, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Bri: I'd love to help but unfortunately I'm without the admin bit at the moment as I was desysopped due to inactivity. Would you mind trying Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/G13? kingboyk (talk) 16:27, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, thanks, will do. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:36, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with File:Kingbotk plugin in Object Browser.png

[edit]
Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Kingbotk plugin in Object Browser.png.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

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 in section F4 of the 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 18:16, 3 February 2024 (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. —Matrix(!) (a good person!)[Citation not needed at all; thank you very much] 18:16, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
