License tagging for Image:Tetricus.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Tetricus.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. 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.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 04:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Lucilla1.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Lucilla1.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 GFDL 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. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Trixt (talk) 19:06, 21 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Uranius Antoninus

You said you added a "factual statement" when you said Uranius was a member of the Severan Dynasty. Can you cite that "factual statement"?--Tataryn77 (talk) 22:26, 12 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Coins

edit

Why are you replacing images of high quality coins with lesser denarii? You can add your images to the article but don't remove good images.--Tataryn77 (talk) 04:42, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

File:Elizabeth II coin.jpg has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:

License tagging for File:Aethelstan penny.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Aethelstan penny.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 12:05, 16 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

File:Elizabeth II coin.jpg

edit

I've just tagged this file for F9 speedy deletion again. I don't think anyone is doubting that you took the photo, the issue is that the coin itself is protected under copyright. Any photo of it is then a derivative work and to use it we would need permission both from you (as the photographer) and who ever owned the copyright of the coin (in this case probably the crown). Without proof of the later permission this image needs to be deleted. Dpmuk (talk) 13:00, 17 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

The coin is still under copyright of its original creator. The copyright does not expire until 50 years after the creation of the coin by its original maker. DrKiernan (talk) 14:02, 17 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with your other uploads

edit
 

Thanks for uploading all those coin images. 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.

I believe you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (at the source site), 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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

The issue here is that we can not be certain that you and the person who uploaded them at the website are the same person and so we can not confirm that you have permission to licence the images in this way. To do that you will need to follow one of the above steps, else, regrettably, the images will have to be deleted. Getting the permission sorted properly is not really my side of things but if you use the e-mail address above you should be able to get things straightened out.

Thanks...

Just to say "thanks" for donating the pictures of the coins, including the John of England one. Very generous, and lovely images. Hchc2009 (talk) 06:34, 19 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

I put a message in the John of England talk page, when it should have been posted here. The John on England coin pictured has henri written on it. It seems like there may have been a mislabelling somewhere.AlexsandraSmart (talk) 16:00, 1 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. When you recently edited Edward III of England, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Groat (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

  Hello, I'm Plantsurfer. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Silicon because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Plantsurfer 19:52, 9 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Tellurium. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Plantsurfer 19:53, 9 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Strontium, you may be blocked from editing. Plantsurfer 19:55, 9 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
