[edit] License tagging for Image:Shazam-move.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Shazam-move.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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:

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. 11:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

  • Hiya, Grimhim. I went ahead and fixed it for you. One of the parameters was misspelled as "Current Members" instead of "Current_members". If something isn't showing up in a template, its usually due to a misnamed parameter. Have a good one! Wickethewok 23:34, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Tencca.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tencca.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:10ccshot.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:10ccshot.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. —Angr 10:29, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Hotlegs 1.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Hotlegs 1.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed 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.

[edit] Image question

Please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for information about requesting permission. Basically, the images need to be released under a "free" license. Permission to use them on Wikipedia is not sufficient - rather, they need to be released under the GFDL or another license that permits both commercial use and derivative works. (See WP:ICT and WP:IUP for more information.) --BigDT 00:58, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

What address did you forward the letter of permission to - "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org"? Can you do this? (1) On the image description page, copy/paste the text of the email you received granting permission for the images to be released (removing email addresses, names, other personal information) and (2) note in the discussion onWikipedia:Images and media for deletion that you have done so? This will allow us to look at the permission that you have received and determine that it meets Wikipedia's requirements.
Remember, it is important that the letter of permission say something like, "we release the image under the GFDL", not just, "you can use it on Wikipedia". Wikipedia can only use the image if it is released under a "free" license, meaning, one that allows anyone to use it for any purpose - simply allowing it to be used on Wikipedia is insufficient.
Also, please keep in mind that plenty of times, images are uploaded with false licensing information. Any image that was not created by the uploader that has only a source and a license tag with no explanation for the license is going to be looked at carefully.
I hope this helps ... if I can help you with any other image questions, please feel free to ask.--BigDT 22:13, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
