Image Tagging Image:Lapd pacific division.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Lapd pacific division.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Thanks

Hi Slightlyslack,

I just wanted to say thanks for Heavy-Chemical Industry Drive, which I just noticed. Definitely helps to fill some gaps in our coverage of South Korean economic history!

Mid-City Los Angeles

Well, just to warn you, the terminology mid-city los angeles doesn't exist. I tried to make a page on the region by making a Central Los Angeles region entry, (that term doesn't exist either), and a wikipedia member with editing rights deleted my page because the terminology didn't exist. So she may delete yours too, so I don't think it's worth it to make an articles that aren't strictly backed by the LA almanac or popular opinion in Los Angeles, because otherwise, you're bound to have someone like her go ahead and delete, redirect or otherwise disfigure your contributions.
