[edit] Image:CorgiDB5.JPG

Hello. Thanks for uploading Image:CorgiDB5.JPG. However, you need to add source and copyright information to its image description page, or it may be deleted. Saying who created the image and adding an image copyright tag usually suffices. Bear in mind that, to be used in Wikipedia, an image must be in the public domain, be available under a free licence such as the GFDL, or must qualify for fair use. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ for more information, or leave a message on my talk page if you need any help. Thanks. SamH|Talk 12:35, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kitkat picture

Hi, Electricmoose. I noticed you uploaded Kitkat.JPG with a fair use tag. Unfortunately, fair use images are legally problematic for Wikipedia, so they tend to be discouraged when a copyleft alternative is possible. Would you mind licensing your picture under a license such as the GFDL? You would retain copyright to the image, but would grant others the right to modify and redistribute your picture under the same terms. Thanks! Twinxor 20:57, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Regarding your response, the fair use tag is really for images you don't have copyright to. The argument is something like "I don't have permission to use this image, but it's OK to, because it doesn't hurt the owner at all." Since this doesn't apply when you made the image, it's a good idea to license pictures which you took under GFDL, Creative Commons, or the like. --Twinxor 22:03, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DVD

Can you please clarify which of the images you support at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Microwaved DVD, or, if you support them both, please put your order of support (eg support both, but 1st more than 2nd)? Thanks. --brian0918™ 15:56, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Staghill.jpg

Hi Electricmoose,

I've listed Image:Staghill.jpg as a copyright violation at Wikipedia:Copyright_problems#June_2, for its use of the clouds from Image:Sunset.jpg without attribution. I dare say there are problems with the other elements of the picture, but I haven't tried to trace these.

In a similar vein, I've closed the FPC nomination early - largely for the copyvio problem but also because of concerns over the pattern of voting on this nomination. I appreciate that this image was probably intended as a hoax, so I'm sorry to pour cold water on it, but I guess it has had its day in the sun. -- Solipsist 06:40, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
