[edit] Kipmckean.jpg
The image Image:Kipmckean.jpg, which you uploaded, has been listed for speedy deletion because you indicated that only non-commercial or educational use of the file is allowed, or that only Wikipedia has permission to use it. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2]. Please do not upload any more files with this restriction on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.
If you created this image (i.e. you shot the photo or drew the image yourself) and want it to be available on Wikipedia, you may re-upload the image, choosing from the Licensing dropdown menu "GFDL (self made)", "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5", or "You created this yourself and release it into the public domain." Be aware that every one of these options allows other people to legally modify or re-use your image for commercial or non-educational purposes without asking further permission. If the image has already been deleted, you may re-upload it, choosing a correct license from the dropdown menu.
If you did not create this image but believe it needs to be used on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. The first way is to re-upload the image, adding to the image's description page a fair use tag from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to the file. Every fair use image which is not used in an article, or does not name its copyright owner, or does not have a rationale for its use will be deleted. The second way is to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.
If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you.--Andrew Levine 23:48, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kip McKean
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Kip McKean article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Kip_mckean.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kip_mckean.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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:Fair use, 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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on 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 22:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 22:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
