Image copyright question edit

You recently uploaded Califonia rasin.gif, Baby kick.jpg and Self mutilation.jpg with a {{PD}} license tag. I notice you've provided no source information for any of them. As I find it unlikely that you created these images (the former two, at least) yourself, could you please describe your reasons for claiming that these images are in the public domain? —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 18:08, 5 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

 
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Smoker lung.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.


Image copyright status of Image:Spydercanopus.jpg edit

Hi, you licensed Image:Spydercanopus.jpg under the GFDL, but left the instruction "Do not distribute this file." If you cannot rectify the fact that the GFDL license allows for free distribution, but supposedly state that you do not license it to be redistrubted, then it is not licensed under the GFDL. If it is not under a free license, and cannot be used under arguements of fair use, it will be deleted from wikipedia. Kevin_b_er 00:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I don't understand what you mean. What option should I choose if I create an image but don't want to release the copyright? --§p¥ÐêR ÇÅñض܊ 01:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, unfortunately that is not an option. You must release the copyright as we need to know where the image came from, and, more importantly, who, if anyone, holds the copyrights to it. We are very careful about not allowing copyrighted pictures on here. Thanks for your understanding. --Pilot|guy 01:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Will this work? Thx --§p¥ÐêR ÇÅñض܊ 01:16, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

No you can't use {{logo}} to claim fair use. You have two options:
  1. You tell me to delete the image (ask at my userpage, I'm happy to do this)
  2. You licence it under a free licence (eg GFDL) and let anyone use/distribute it.--Commander Keane 01:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply


Personally I'd have suggested that you'd have made it {{Cc-by-sa-2.5}}, as it means that whomever redistributes it must credit(attribute) you, and it must be identically licensed. Sorry about this, as the nature of wikipedia is that everything is all free, redistributable, and freely modifiable. Kevin_b_er 01:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Byteusa edit

I never said it didn't make sense, please read WP:WEB to understand the three counts I was refering to. If you need anything feel free to contact me! Yanksox (talk) 22:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Newegg is making a billion dollars and hosts a lot of large Web things, it does meet at least one of the three requirements. It's not an issue of the article, it's an issue of the subject. If it is notable drop it in there or drop a comment at the AfD. Btw, you might want to change your sig, I don't issues w/ them but some people do. Yanksox (talk) 22:17, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply


No, that is not what I am saying. Please read WP:WEB, and also you need to prove it, as well. Yanksox (talk) 22:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Virtual pc 2007.jpg) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Virtual pc 2007.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 17:12, 13 November 2007 (UTC)Reply


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Skoal.png edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Skoal.png. 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 (talk) 05:33, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Port 25566 edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Port 25566 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Bailo26 12:12, 25 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of File:Spencerian Method.jpg edit

 

The file File:Spencerian Method.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
