Fair use rationale for Image:Riegelmann Boardwalk.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Riegelmann Boardwalk.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.

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Ice cream soda.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, 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, 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: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. 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 23:50, 15 October 2007 (UTC). 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.

Replaceable fair use Image:Sam's Choice.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Sam's Choice.jpg. I noticed 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 {{di-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 even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy.

Images on New York City Subway pages

edit

Hi, I've noticed you've been adding images to a number of New York City Subway pages. Thanks for all the hard work. I do have a couple of suggestions.

When you add an image to a station Infobox, the brackets and "Image:" terms aren't needed. For instance, you recently added a couple of images to Canal Street (New York City Subway). In the Infobox for the Nassau Street Line platforms, you entered the following:

 image=[[Image:BMT Nassau Street Line platforms.jpg]]

Within an Infobox, the format should be just

image=BMT Nassau Street Line platforms.jpg

Also, when placing images on multiple pages, please try to make an effort to distribute the images throughout the article, rather than just stacking them in a big clump at the top of the page. For instance, see Second Avenue Subway.

Again, thanks for the contributions. Marc Shepherd 12:29, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

These photos and images from the MTA website are not correctly tagged with {{PD-USGov}}. PD-USGov is for Federal government entities only. Images from the MTA are not public domain, they are copyrighted. As such, I have tagged these images with the {{wrong license}} template. These images should either be changed to use a Fair Use tag and rationale or they should be deleted. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 16:37, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Second Avenue Subway (SAS).jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Second Avenue Subway (SAS).jpg is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Second Avenue Subway (SAS).jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Speedy deletion of Goonzu

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Goonzu, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per speedy deletion criterion G11.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Jameson L. Tai 00:01, 26 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please supply edit summaries

I noticed that you are still not providing edit summaries. Really, it only takes a moment. At the bottom of the edit window is a small box labeled "Edit Summary". Just provide a brief summary of what you are doing, so that others who watch these pages will have an idea what has changed, and why. Marc Shepherd 13:20, 27 October 2007 (UTC)Reply


Image source problem with Image:Image-Aniliidae.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Image-Aniliidae.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, 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, 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: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. 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 00:01, 28 October 2007 (UTC). 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Greek pizza.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Greek pizza.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:Virgo.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Virgo.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 13:53, 28 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:BMT Nassau Street Line platforms.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BMT Nassau Street Line platforms.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 00:03, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please stop uploading random images from the web

edit

The uploading of random images from the web is not allowed. These are copyright infringements and are not producive in the building of a free content encyclopedia. Also, the {{PD-USGov}} template is for works of the U.S. Federal Government and its agencies. Works of state or local governments or their agencies (such as the MTA) are not eligible. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 01:27, 31 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your contributions are welcome, but please take some time to read over WP:IUP. Before uploading an image, make sure you know the copyright holder and copyright status. Keep in mind that all images are automatically under copyright and the few free ones usually come with explicit licensing details. If an image is not in the public domain or licensed as free content, it may be used on Wikipedia under a fair use claim only if it satisfies a list of criteria. Flickr, the Library of Congress, and PDphoto.org are great starting points for finding free images. Alternately, you could upload self-made photographs to the Wikimedia Commons.

Image uploads - warning

I noticed all the warnings above, yet still uploading fair use images. These images are problematic, per our fair use policy and Non-free image criteria. Please take the time to read about the policy and understand it before uploading more any more images. Please note that we take very seriously our policy on non-free image uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. --Aude (talk) 00:15, 5 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please stop

It is unacceptable to keep uploading images that violate our fair use policy. If you continue, we will need to block you from editing. We take our policies on copyrights very seriously. --Aude (talk) 00:18, 5 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I second this. Please stop adding copyrighted images to Wikipedia. While copyrighted images can be uploaded, they must include a detailed fair use rationale. About 95% of the images you are uploading can be replaced or are using incorrect tags. If you continue to violate copyright policies an administrator will be notified and your account could be blocked. Please learn more about image copyright policies before uploading any other images.

Replaceable fair use Image:Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago).jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago).jpg. I noticed 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 {{di-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 even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chupper 04:06, 5 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
