Image tagging for Image:Boxing.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Boxing.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Unspecified source for Image:WHouse1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:WHouse1.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-no-disclaimers}} 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 16:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 16:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:Jacket1.jpg listed for deletion

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Jacket1.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions 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.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want 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. – riana_dzasta 13:17, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Matthew Bogdanos

Hello, I have been working on this bio of Matthew Bogdanos and have recently visited the site and saw that a personal photo of his on the web page was taken down. How can I restore this without fear of further deletion? Thanks so much....

Peggy Anne Zack —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Peggyzack (talk • contribs) 14:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

Hi, you'll need to find (or take yourself) a photograph licensed under a free license - you can't just copy a photo of any old website on the internet, since it's almost certainly copyright (even if released as part of a press kit). Once uploaded, the image will need it's source and license explicitly added to the image page. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for more info, or feel free to post a response if this isn't clear. _└ ^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 15:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Please note that a license under which "only Wikipedia has permission to use this file" is not acceptable because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it. If you created the photograph and want it to be kept on Wikipedia, you should upload it and tag it as {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. If you did not create the photograph but want it to be used on Wikipedia you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license. _└ ^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 15:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Matthew Bogdanos

Hello, thanks for your speedy reply. Matthew himself provided this photo of Don Bosco speech to me and it is his own photo, it did not come from a website. How can I add this? Under the Free License tag?

Thanks

Peggy ZackPeggyzack 15:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Peggy, OK fair enough. You don't, however, state under what terms Matthew is willing for you to use this image. As I said above, it's not enough for him to give you consent for it to be uploaded to Wikipedia alone, he must also be willing for it to be used under a free license. I'd suggest he agrees to license it under the GFDL, although a Creative Commons license or releasing it into the public domain would be just as good (this all assumes he actually owns the copyright to the image in the first place). You may find Wikipedia:Example requests for permission useful in asking him about this.

Once he's agreed to license the image, you should re-upload it, choosing the appropriate license which he's agreed to (eg "GFDL") from the drop down menu. In the description field, you should make it clear where the image came from, and that the author has agreed to license it (eg "Image provided by Matthew Bogdanos, and licensed under the GFDL". For legal reasons, you should also forward a copy of the email in which Matthew agreed to license the image to "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org" where it will be permanently archived. The same is true for any image to which he holds the copyright, and agrees to license in this way.

For images which could not be freely reproduced (eg Image:WHouse.jpg) you could probably justify fair use under US copyright law. You'd need to edit it to add a description as to where the image came from (and who took it, who holds the copyright) along with a fair use justification (something along the lines of "Image illustrates a meeting between X and X, for which no free image could be obtained" and the fair use image tag {{fairusein|Matthew Bogdanos}}). Note that fair use is only applicable under certain instances - a photo of Matthew alone could not be used in this way, since a free alternative could be obtained.

I know this is a lot to take in, but it's important that images used do not breach copyright laws. Hope this helps _└ ^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 17:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Jacket1.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Jacket1.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:56, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Jacket1.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Jacket1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 non-free media 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Jacket.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Jacket.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. BetacommandBot (talk) 03:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:WHouse.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:WHouse.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-enwikimedia.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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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-enwikimedia.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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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.
