File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Torano2008video.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Torano2008video.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, 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 files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 20:35, 10 June 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:35, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am the principal editor of a featured article

In fact, several featured articles. Halley's Comet is just one of them. Featured articles are meant to represent the best of Wikipedia. As such, editing them requires extensive knowledge of Wikipedia's policies and standards. If you want to edit the article, learn Wikipedia's policies and standards, such as:

1. Citation. Citations are done with a specific markup, not just loaded onto the page behind ref quotes. Also, Wikipedia does not source Youtube or science documentary clips. 2. The difference between a cited fact and an opinion. Four citations does not equal "NASA says". Find an official policy statement that says, "NASA says" and we can talk.

The two cites do not mention the fact. The first only implies it without stating it; the second is an unrepresentative sample that isn't even what the citation is citing in the first place. Look, if you can find a representative survey that shows that the pronunciation of "Halley" in the English-speaking world (not just one part of it) is mostly "Halley" then fine. If not, I'm sure someone will do one before 2061. Good luck. Serendi ^pod ous 19:27, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re:addition. It's not "the pronunciation 400 years ago"; it's the pronunciation Edmond Halley himself used, which is kinda relevant because without it we have no idea how to pronounce it, and there can never be an "official" pronunciation. Serendi ^pod ous 19:32, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, not true. Some biographers have suggested that Halley himself pronounced his name "Hawley", which is a perfectly acceptable reading of "Halley", viz. "hall", "call", "small" Serendi ^pod ous 14:38, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:St Marys Historical Marker.jpeg

Thank you for uploading File:St Marys Historical Marker.jpeg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.
