Thank you!
[edit]Many thanks for the barnstar.
If you want to pursue anti-vandal work as a Wikicareer, then there are faster and better tools around than 'undo'. Start with popups, which you can enable via 'my preferences' - it's good for reverting back several versions by different editors. Once you've gained some experience with that then you can apply to an administrator for rollback rights - some of the most powerful tools (e.g. Huggle) require that. Personally, I use PILT, which is a variant of Lupin's AVT. Philip Trueman (talk) 15:58, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi TheGunn, Unfortunately I've had to delete this image as it clearly had the incorrect licence. According to the image page you took an image from the net, cropped it and uploaded it with a licence indicating that you own it and release it as public domain. As this is a simple modification of someone else's image (a Derivative work) the copyright still resides with them and you can only list the image as public domain if they have done so.

Orphaned non-free media (File:CatholicTelegraphCincinnati.JPG)
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:CatholicTelegraphCincinnati.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:15, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
