Wikipedia talk:Media copyright questions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well, I think this page has a shocker name, but it's a bit late now. Just a small reminder to please direct users with freely licensed images to the Commons:. Wikipedia:Commons contains some useful information about how image policy and handling between here and there differs. pfctdayelise (translate?) 10:40, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree on the name too :-p, but hey, I didn't make the page. And we do remind people about Commons: :) --A dmrb♉ltz (T | C | k) 16:45, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I made the page, based on a discussion elsewhere, but I'm not really sure I like the name either, it's not necessarily too late to change it though, just a few templates etc. What are some ideas for a better name? I don't like the word legality because it might imply actual legal advice which we certainly aren't giving. Anyway, if people come up with a good name I don't think it's that hard to change. - cohesion^t 18:14, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright questions? Are you restricting to images only? Media copyright questions? Just copyright questions? pfctdayelise (translate?) 23:15, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

We would handle other media also, not just images, so media in the name is probably a good idea. - cohesion^t 05:14, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I'll give it a few more days for responses, then change it to Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, unless another idea comes up :) - cohesion^t 17:14, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Media can now be undeleted

Just to let everyone know that works on this page. See [1]. It only affects media deleted after the change, which is about 4:30 UTC 16 June. Yipee! - cohesion 05:13, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Archiving

Does anyone object to User:EssjayBot II archiving this page? Say discussions over a week old, every week. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 00:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes please, reply also on talk page. - cohesion 07:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anton Corbjin- how to tag?

I have shrunk and reloaded one of his images. Then I got a message from ophanbot. Do we attribute his images some way other than fairuse?

Thanks, :) Dlohcierekim 12:56, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category?

This page badly needs a category. Does anyone know the appropriate category for this page? --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 05:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How to delete images?

I can't seem to find an article detailing how to delete an image. Let's say I uploaded an image in error and I have no intention of replacing it, how would I go about eliminating said image?

Or is it automatic?

There are three main methods of deleting an image.
