Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

Image copyright problems

Hello. As with the images above, the following lack valid information about their source, copyright holder, and/or copyright status.

• Image:Carter dunk france 220.jpg
• Image:Carter.jpg
• Image:Rj1.jpg
• Image:Carter dunk.jpg
• Image:Mcgrady.jpg
• Image:Petrovic12.jpg
• Image:Kidd.jpg

Presuming that they are all unfree images of active NBA players, they are not suitable for use in Wikipedia, however, even if this information is provided. Remember that Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia and and does not allow copyrighted images of any kind when it is possible to create an equivalent free image.

Please do not upload any additional images until you have thoroughly read the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags
• Wikipedia:Fair use

If you have any questions whatsoever, please don't hesitate to ask them ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks ×Meegs 14:21, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:JKidd.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:JKidd.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Duhon 22:25, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Warning

Hello. Do not upload any more unfree copyrighted images, such as tonight's Image:JasonK.jpg, until you have thoroughly read and understood each of the links in my previous message. Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia and only uses unfree images under very particular circumstances. If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask them at ask them ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. If you upload any additional images contrary to copyright law or Wikipedia policy, you will be blocked for editing Wikipedia altogether. ×Meegs 07:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Images of Jason Kidd

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:JasonK.jpg I origninally saved this particular .jpg to my computer from an old image FROM wikipedia ITSELF. Someone deleted it and put an unnecessary arrest mugshot in its place. I simply remembered that i had a copy of it, and uploaded it back onto this site! It is indeed a sporting poster (considering that i have an exact purchased copy ON MY WALL). Thankyou for taking the time to read my message. By the way, all my other photos uploaded onto wikipedia were corrected as licensed sporting event posters as well. --Meltzercool 01:47, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello Meltzercool. {{Sportsposter}} is for promotional material for a sporting event, used as a part of commentary about the event itself. This does not fit that description on either front. The tag aside, though, an unfree copyrighted picture of Jason Kidd — an active NBA player, available for photographs — that the copyright holder is actively selling violates at least criteria 1 and 2 of our fair use policy. The fact that the image was once hosted on Wikipedia is immaterial; it was deleted for one reason or another. Whenever possible, please contribute free images, compatible with Wikipedia's goal of creating an encyclopedia useable anywhere, by anyone. When it is not possible to create or procure a freely-licensed image, please make sure that the alternative is compatible with all of our fair use guidelines. ×Meegs 09:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Carter_114_050713.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Carter_114_050713.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. MECU≈talk 03:19, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Kenyon Martin.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kenyon Martin.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof 18:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Netslogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Netslogo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Slam.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Slam.JPG.
