[edit] KC and Template

Hello, I found your page because you joined the Kindness Committee (which was a wicked awesome thing to do). I tried to carry out the request on your userpage. I hope it turned out how you wanted it. All I did was change 'right' to 'left' after where it says 'float' in the beginning. LambaJan 18:19, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem RE: Image:Iain Lee.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Iain Lee.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:

  • The copyright holder, and
  • The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this: {{TAGHERE}}.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:

  • The copyright holder can also release their work into the public domain. See here for examples.
  • Images from certain sources are automatically released into the public domain. This is true for the United States, where the Wikimedia servers are located. (See here for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments.) However, not all governments release their work into the public domain. One exception is the UK (see here for images from the UK government). Non-free licence governments are listed here.
  • Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of fair use. To see a) if this image qualifies, and b) if so, how to tag it, see Wikipedia:Fair use.

For more information, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Please remember that untagged images are likely to be deleted.

If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them. Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --Sherool (talk) 18:16, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi again, you say we have permission to use the image? Is that all? If so the {{CopyrightedFreeUse}} tag is inapropriate. If all we can do is display it you should use a fairuse tag in combination with {{withpermission}}. The {{CopyrightedFreeUse}} tag basicaly means that anyone is free to modify, copy, redistribute and use the image for commercial purposes as if the image was in the public domain. Is that rely what we have been given permission to do? --Sherool (talk) 14:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images on templates

Hi. You created the template Template:User UK DUP, which contained a copyrighted image upon which the fair use doctrine was being claimed by Wikipedia. The fair use doctrine for us only applies for educational purposes, which does not include stuff used outside of the main namespace (even the Main Page probably can't have fair use images). Please try to remember not to include fair use images in userboxes or your own user space again, as it is a breach of copyright. I have removed the copyrighted image from the template on your behalf. - Mark 01:43, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images on user pages

Hi RaptorX. You're free to put most images on your user page, if they are "public domain", or "gnu free documentation license" or "creative commons". If they are "fair use", you cannot use them on your user page. There may be other situations where you cannot use an image, such as where the image breaks a law, or is judged to not be appropriate for a user page, according to the community. I hope this has been a help. - Mark 12:38, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Happy Birthday from the Wikipedia Happy Birthday Committee, of which I am the only member. JaredW 12:05, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:E Series

Just to let you know, the immature user was imitating you on his user talk page. I'm not sure if that's allowed or not, but I thought I'd tell you. Philc 0780 21:24, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:We-are-not-afraid.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:We-are-not-afraid.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 20:31, 20 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Nick Ferrari.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Nick Ferrari.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 there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|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, consider checking 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. cholmes75 (chit chat) 00:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Website Screenshots

Looking through the history I think I am correct that you added the image to Digital Spy, how did you do this as the site does not fit fully on the screen so pressing Print Screen would not work.

[edit] Moved your navigation template to userspace

Greetings, I moved your navigation template to User:RaptorX/nav. Since you would be the only user of the template, it's more appropriate for your userspace and it works just the same. I've changed all the links to the old template space location to point to the new userspace location. All the best, --Durin 19:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
