[edit] Copyright questions

Glad to have welcomed you.  :) This crazy site can never have enough good editors, especially those with more eclectic interests. I'm truly pleased that you've established an account.

As for the copyright issue, most photos, unless they're public domain, are pretty much copyrighted but many can be used in a fair use manner under the site's license. Admittedly, this is one of those gray areas that's probably best answered by another admin or a bureaucrat. Sorry I wasn't much help in this instance, but I check my talk page more than my personal e-mail, so if there's anything else you need, give a holler. - Lucky 6.9 00:13, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bienvenido, Pillo

Bienvenido a Wiki, I'm a Boricua like you. Check out my user page. I'm glad that you added that image to my article on Roy Brown. The only thing that I'm changing is the table of contents because of my format style. Queiro que sepas that you have a friend in me and if I can assist you in anyway do not hesitate to ask. I will send you a list of other Puerto Rican Wikipedians with whom you may want to interact with in the future. Tu Amigo, Tony the Marine 17:18, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

This Boricua Tireless Contributor Barnstar is presented to User:Thief12 for his continous work on Music related articles. Presented by Tony the Marine 17:58, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I award you this barnstar for your contributions on Music realted articles, which you may place in your User Page if you wish. Tu Amigo, Tony the Marine 17:58, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

• You may want to add your name to this list, "Category:Wikipedians in Puerto Rico" where you'll find other Boricuas. Tony the Marine 20:03, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] CNF/El Yunque

While El Yunque is technically the mountain and not the forest, given that people tend to refer to the forest as El Yunque you should include some information to that effect (or maybe a tag at the top saying something like This article refers to the mountain, for information on the forest typically called El Yunque see Caribbean National Forest.

[edit] Image copyright problem RE: Image:Ziggy-cartoon.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ziggy-cartoon.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:

• An open content licence
• Public Domain
• Fair Use

• The copyright holder gets the best protection of their work by licencing it under an open content license such as the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. The GNU Free Documentation License is another option. Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag {{GFDL}}.

• 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.

P.S: I also see that nearly all the images you have uploaded have been tagged as public domain even though all the sources are clearly copyrighted webpages. This is not apropriate. Please read this section carefully, and then read all the linked pages. Then please fix all the images you have uploaded, by providing apropriate copyright tags ASAP, otherwise they will soon be deleted. If you have any questions regarind how image tagging works feel free to ask on my talk page (but read the linked pages first). Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 23:46, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Image Copyrights & Licenses

Hi, looking better. Well idealy all the copyrighted ("fair use") images should also include a fair use rationale, this is not currently that heavily enforced as there are tonnes of images without even source and copyright tags, but it's defenently a good idea to add, time allowing.

Also I don't know if you have finished going though the images (there are a lot), but I found these that still have some problems:

[edit] Tagged as "some website"

These still need proper copyright tags. Since they don't seem to fit any of the "blanket" categories I think {{fairusein|whatever}} + a rationale would work nicely.

• Image:Fire-live-cj.jpg
• Image:Fire-live-bl.jpg
• Image:Robrock.jpg

[edit] Tagged as "public domain" or "copyright free use"

As far as I can tell all of these are actualy copyrighted (well possevly with the exception of Image:M-jimenez.png, it looks old, hard to tell how old though). Remember unless an image is explicitly released into the public domain (or is very very old and one or two other cases such as work of the US federal government), the default is to asume it's copyrighted even if there is no copyright notice where you found it. Also if you don't provide a source for an image it can not be confirmed to be public domain either. Same with "copyright free use", the image page have to "prove" that the copyright holder has indeed released all rights to the image. Most likely all of these will need to be re-tagged with an apropriate "fair use" tag (see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use), and have a source added if they don't already have one.

[edit] Tagged as Public domain

• Image:Museo-ponce3.jpg
• Image:Museo-ponce6.jpg
• Image:Cerropunta.jpg
• Image:Map pr caciques.gif
• Image:Lostriversp.jpg
• Image:Airman2.gif
• Image:Yunque.jpg
• Image:M-jimenez.png ← this one might actualy be in the public domain, if it's sufficiently old. You need to provide a source though, and some "proof" that it's old enough, if not you can use the {{fairold}} tag, and include a fair use rationale.

[edit] Tagged as copyright free use

• Image:Levittown-tanque.jpg
• Image:Mona-passage.jpg
• Image:Tres-picachos.JPG

[edit] Tagged as "creative commons share alike"

This one is tagged as "creative commons", but there is no source. You have to point to the source of the image, and show where the author of the image has released it under this license. If the author have not released it under this license this tag can not be used, and you have to find a suitable fair use tag for ths one too. And the source too either way. Souce is always needed. It doesn't have to be a website, but you have to say where the image is from and preferably who own it and such.

• Image:Coliseo-avion.JPG

Hope you can make some sense of all this :P --Sherool (talk) 01:51, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

^{your reply copied here for thread integrety}

Thanx again for helping with the image licensing issue. I think I'm finished with them, but I'd be grateful if you can check some of them, specially this ones: Image:M-jimenez.png (I took this image from the Wikipedia French server), and Image:Coliseo-avion.JPG (this one was taken by me. Should I add anything else?). Thanx again... Thief12 19:08, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi again, Image:Coliseo-avion.JPG looks like it have more than enough info now, very nice. As for Image:M-jimenez.png yeah, it seems to be PD. I checked the French wiki and found a link to the same image on commons however (Image:Jiménez de la Espada 1831-1898.png). Seeing as files from commons can be used on any Wikimedia project that makes the version you copied here kinda redundant though. So I have listed it for deletion on WP:IFD and edited the article to use the shared file instead (hope you don't mind, I just don't like unnessesary redundancy). While on that subject: if you plan to upload more free images in the future (like Image:Coliseo-avion.JPG) consider uploading them to commons instead. That way they can also be used on the other language Wikipedias, Wikinews, Wikibooks, Wikisource etc etc. Simmilarly it's a good idea to do a few searches on Commons when looking for images, they might just have it (or something close enough) already.

These three still probably need a different tag (or some "proof" that they have no limitations attached) though, Image:Levittown-tanque.jpg, Image:Mona-passage.jpg and Image:Tres-picachos.JPG, otherwise it's looking good to me. --Sherool (talk) 20:27, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Puerto Rico

Hola Thief. How's it going? I wanted to invite you to become a member of the new project about our pais. If you want to, just click there and list your name where it has the list of writers on the project. As you can see, the page is poorly formatted. I don't know how to build a country-box, but we'll work on it :)

I hope I can see your name there soon! Thanks and God bless you!

Your wikifriend, Antonio Roña Martin

Hola Thief! You gave me the best part of my day today with your message! It's great to know you're gonna be part of the project. Well, about the country-box, sin idea, hermano, I don't know how to do those things anyways but I guess I could copy it from the Puerto Rico page. Im Boricua too. My objective is not only to have a page where we can talk about things to do relating to Puerto Rico, but also have writers from other countries join, so they can research and learn about Puerto Rican society and history. I'm a member of wikipeoject:La Raza, Wikiproject:Argentina, Wikiproject:Cuba and Wikiproject:Mexico also, and the thing is, Well this is my opinion only of course but I feel that I can help start a real unity among Hispanos by working on making other Hispanics interested in Puerto Rico and viceversa. So, don't feel weird if you see a non Puerto Rican writer in the list..lol! Y de que pueblo eres? Im from Caguas, a Criollo de pura cepa. I'm an independist but not hard to the core, I mean I also think if a politician is a good person he or she should win regardless of party. As a matter of a fact, two politicians I admire a lot, Ramon Luis Rivera and Alejandro Cruz, were PNP candidates (I wrote about Cruz last night). So as far as politics goes Im cool with candidates of all parties as long as they are good people, even if they don't share my idealism. Hmmnn I don't know why I got into that, I don't mean for people to tell me their ideologies, after all, that should be yopur private right. So do you like sports? I absolutely love boxing and basketball. Im the rare breed of Puerto Rican that puts baseball in third place..lol. Growing up, my favorite athletes were Wilfred Benitez, Wilfredo Gomez, Mario Morales and Ruben Rodriguez. Of course, now Tito joined that list! Well, thats it for now. I hope to hear from you soon!! Once again thanks for joining our project and God bless you! Sincerely yours, your boricua friend, Antonio Bad Charlotte Martin

[edit] Image:Perreo.JPG

You tagged this image as {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}, but the source you provided doesn't say anything about this license, and actually does say: "Prohibida su reproducción total o parcial sin previo consentimiento de su titular"(google translation: "Prohibited its total or partial reproduction without previous consent of its holder.") Unless you are the person who took this photo, it's not legal to be used on Wikipedia. I look forward to your response. JesseW, the juggling janitor 11:09, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sports photos

Hi,

Please stop uploading sports photos. They don't qualify as fair use. Tempshill 21:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Sure. This is indeed an area of confusion, because there's no single US law that rigorously defines what is and is not a fair use - it has been defined by a number of court decisions.

1. To get it out of the way, of course Wikipedia far prefers GFDL, CC, or public domain images to fair use images. Whenever there is a GFDL, CC, or PD image that can be used as an alternative to a fair use image, then it should be used - even if it's worse than the fair use image.

2. Under Wikipedia:Fair use#General, there are four factors to consider whether a particular usage of a photo is a fair use. Points 3 and 4 are a problem for sports photos. When a photographer from Sports Illustrated photographs Michael Jordan, that's copyrighted to SI, and they expect to make money from the photo by publishing it in their magazine. By uploading it to Wikipedia, you're providing a free alternative, so you are in fact damaging the value of the photo to SI. This alone makes it not really a fair use.

3. See the last bullet in Wikipedia:Fair use#Counterexamples about the photo from the press agency. Same would apply to a photo from a newspaper, ESPN, whoever.

Now, on the other hand, if the athlete releases a photo of himself for publicity, then you could upload it as a fair use with the "promotional" tag, as those are considered to be a fair use. Unfortunately "publicity" photos are often just head-shots and not action shots.

Thanks, and drop me another note if you have any questions. Tempshill 18:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Meryl-streep.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Meryl-streep.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 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.

[edit] The Mameyes Disaster

Just to let you know, that article is being merged with the tropical cyclone that caused the disaster. Unfortunately, I can only add what I have found sources for, so a few sections might get removed. The only way I will add them into the article is if you find sources for them. The article has been redirected, so if you want to see what you wrote that is unsourced, go here. Hurricanehink 16:25, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Petra-founders-2004.jpg

You tagged the above image as a promotional image, but it is instead an image taken by a fan, published on their website with a copyright notice. We have no Wikipedia:Fair use claim here. I'm afraid that the image will have to be deleted. See Wikipedia:Publicity photos for more information on what promotional photos are. Please review any other image uploads to determine whether or not they are also problematic. If you find images on the web that you think would make good additions to articles, please consider contacting their creators and asking them to release them under a free license. Thanks for understanding. Jkelly 05:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

It is great news that the photographer has agreed to release the image under a free license. The thing to do is to send a copy of the email stating such a release to "permissions at wikimedia dot org" where it will be archived. Let me know if you have any other questions, and best of luck.

Thanks for uploading Image:Toabaja leper.gif.

Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image.

[edit] List of Puerto Ricans

One of the main concerns about the "list" is that it is getting out of control and that many names of people who have only had their "15 minutes of fame" or simply are non-notables are being added. I propose that we set up guidelines as to who should be admitted with a clear definition as to the terms "notable" and "fame". I am calling upon the parties interested to express their opinion and to help develope these guidelines. I believe that after we take a vote and reach a censensus, said guidelines should be followed and posted either on the article or the articles talk page. We need your help.

[edit] Petra stuff

Hey, regarding the Petra article and the rare songs: I have an MP3 copy of "Rocking on with Jesus" from the 1970s. It was played at the 2004 reunion concert in Angola, IN, also. John DeGroff wrote a message in the Petra Zone where he mentioned the song was written by Greg Hough and would be re-recorded for a GHF album. I'm not sure the best way to cite this info for the article.

Regarding "It's A New Day": it was recorded and appeared on several record companies' websites in the J&H track list because the song was cut from the set list late in the process. You can still find it on some sites right now.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Manute-bol-news.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Manute-bol-news.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify 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 file 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Al pitrelli.jpg)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Al pitrelli.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BigDT 15:34, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Sen lsoto.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sen lsoto.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prod notice

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article [[Southern Tracks (Third Day Album)]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at [[Talk:Third Day]]. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Oops, I linked to the wrong item. I'm {{prod}}ing this album article. I corrected the link above. Sorry about that. --MECU≈talk 18:48, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smile

Æon ^{Insane Ward} has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Sen lsoto.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sen lsoto.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 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. Zsinj^Talk 15:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Dcooksey.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dcooksey.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. -- Sherool (talk) 06:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry about the Speedy Deletion thing. As you can see from my Talk page, I came home full of vodka-Red Bulls last night and went a bit haywire. Won't happen again. Makron1n 23:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Lydie-denier.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Lydie-denier.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Chayanne.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Chayanne.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images lacking such an explanation 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. ShadowHalo 07:38, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
