[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:John_coffey.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:John_coffey.jpg. 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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 23:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I read your comment and understand the problem. I have a question, though: if an image is posted on a webpage, does the copyright need to come from the site or from the person who took the picture? On the site where I found this picture (the only one I could find on the Internet), there is no mention about copyrights; however, the web master is an author who uses the image in his book. So you know, all the other images I've uploaded are ok copyright-wise. --Thebends 01:03, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Could be either. If the image was created as a work for hire, or if the copyright was purchased by the website owner, then the site owner owns the copyright. Otherwise, the copyright is owned by the creator of the image. --Carnildo 07:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Apemen2001.jpg

You need to remove the image Image:Apemen2001.jpg from your user page. It is a copyright violation to use this fair use image on a user page. -Thanks Nv8200p talk 21:39, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

It is a copyright violation (i.e. against the law) to use fair use images on a user page. You should remove all fair use images such as Image:Vonnegut.jpg and the movie posters, album covers, etc. Any image tagged public domain like Image:1903 world series crowd.jpg and copyrighted free use like Image:Jean Chretien.jpg are OK.


[edit] EMO

This guys an emo, lets kill him. Oh wait, they do that themselves with their depression and razorblades 222.153.250.215 07:11, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

  • I'm emo cause my page is black? Ok. Guess I gotta go dig out the black eyeliner, black fishnets, spikes, lipstick, long coat, and never clean my hair. Think what you want. I'm not emo. You're a tool.
I actually know someone who thinks Radiohead is emo. But I think he's a loon. -albrozdude 03:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Really? Wow... he must have been... uninformed... or just a "loon".

Hello, your user page is outstanding. I was browsing other users' pages to find one that was like this, so that I could verify that people actually do personalize their user pages. I am new to using php, and do not have the wiki-editor or whatever... was your user page accomplished this way?

Thanks

  • I actually just started using PHP recently. This page was done in wiki formatting.
