Hi Hastingsitech. Wikipedia can't just use images from anywhere on the web. The author must release the rights under a free license for Wikipedia to use the image. Do you know who created the Kruek and Rosenbaum images? Thanks. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 08:17, 8 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • What if I marked them, and asked permission from the 'actual' website? I also, changed the images myself.* Hastingsitech 17:38, 8 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
Where did the website get the image from? We need to trace down the original author and then we can proceed from there. Often times they are pulled from promotion packets that the network sends out, so that is why I ask. Thanks! --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 22:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
   Michael Rosenbaum image came from his official site: http://www.michaelrosenbaum.com
   Kristin Kreuk came from this site: www.thesmallville.za.pl/lana/

Those were my sources, I asked Michael Rosenbaum's site. --Hastingsitech 22:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sorry to be a pest, but I want to clear this up as best as possible. I see that it is from his official website, so I assume they have the rights to the image. My question is though, for the Rosenbaum image, what license did they release it under? Also, would you copy and paste the conversation where they have granted the permission onto the image page? This allows Wikipedia to have some documentation in case there ever is an issue in the future. As far as the image of Kreuk is concerned, do they have the rights to the image you uploaded? The reason I ask is I have seen the image before and I am pretty certain it isn't in public domain. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to assist. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 23:01, 9 April 2007 (UTC)Reply


Seems that I can't get anything done. I apologize, just go ahead and block those images. :( My apologies for wasting your time. --Hastingsitech 02:59, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Don't give up. :) There is a bit of learning curve to Wikipedia, but there is a reason for why we have rules regarding images. The goal of Wikipedia is to be a free encyclopedia, so we want to make sure that the images we have are able to be rightfully used by us. If you decide images aren't your thing, feel free to give a shot at editing. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message on my talk page. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 06:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Reply


File permission problem with File:Kristin k.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Kristin k.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.
