Thanks for uploading File:180CAVdui.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 08:09, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:45BSTBdui.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:07, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nominations for the "Military Historian of the Year" for 2011 are now open. If you would like to nominate an editor for this award, please do so here. Voting will open on 22 January and run for seven days. Thanks!

I wanted to confirm the accuracy your edit to the 152d Cavalry article that "The 180th is the only US Army Regiment that has a motto in a Native American language." I'm not anywhere close to an expert on this sort of thing. But, I think the motto of the 147th Infantry "Cargoneek Guyoxim" is in Chippewa, the 180th Infantry's "TANAP-NANAIYKIA-ALTHAIYAHA" is Cherokee, the 348th Infantry's "AnLI yamojmikma KAMASSA" is Choctaw, the 377th Infantry's "NI GA DA E SA SDI" is Cherokee, the 390th's "KA-YEN-SĀ-HAH" is Iroquois, and the 506th's famous "Currahee" is Cherokee.

Hello, and welcome. Your addition to 45th Brigade Special Troops Battalion has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source if public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to visit me at my talk page . Thank you. --Mrmatiko (talk) 17:38, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After going through your contributions it is clear that there are several copyright violations. It would be helpful if you removed all information that you have ever copied directly from a source from every article you have created/edited. I will attempt to remove any that I find throughout your contribution history but this would be much easier with your assistance as I don't wish to open a Contributor Copyright Investigation. --Mrmatiko (talk) 18:25, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are mistaken. Text material from the Army's Institute of Heraldry is public domain, and the articles have referenced that. Similarly, if the descriptions of the insignia were copyrighted, as you suggest, the insignia themselves are also copyrighted, but may be used for other than commercial purposes.TIOH Image Use Policy The descriptions (blazons) must be quoted in full in order to be correct.

The reason I linked the two articles was that the tiny kernel of information we have on the 90th Inf Bde is all at the 90th TC article - it seems you inserted it yourself. How would you justify *not* linking the articles when the information is accessible about the brigade thru the link - Army lineage policies or no? Buckshot06 (talk) 23:41, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence is only about the justification for designating the TC as 90th, a reference, not a lineage. I'll work out a better phrasing to clarify that there's no direct connection. RTO Trainer (talk) 00:50, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:1158thFADUI.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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.
