[edit] Screenshot licenses

Hi Jasper124c41. You put up very nice screenshots for Kaleidica! But you must be careful with the licenses. First of all, the cover of the software has the wrong license. It is not a game. I've fixed its license.

Second of all SunsetCollage1.jpg has many problems with it. For one, you would not call that image a screenshot - you would call it a work and must release it under a free license like:

I, the author of this work, hereby publish it under the following licenses: Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. Subject to disclaimers. This file is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. You may select the license of your choice.

Second of all, this particular image not be used on Wikipedia, even if the company allows you to; that is an invalid license. You must place the proper tag on it saying it must be deleted, or you must make your own work of art with the program, replace the exact file, and put on the proper license (such as the example I put up above). I hope this is helpful. Althepal 06:16, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Althepal; I'm relatively new to Wikipedia and I really enjoy the collaborative, helpful environment. I will have the creator of the image license its use. I'm glad that Wikipedia is so fastidious in its licenses, I see that this helps it from lawsuits/censordom. Once again, thank you. Jasper124c41 06:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

All right. :) Be sure it's done soon lest somebody tag it for deletion. And remember that a screenshot of your own picture is not a "screenshot" if you remove any and all parts showing elements of a proprietary program -- it is a work of art. A screenshot will show how the interface of the program looks. Like is a free license screenshot of an open source program. And this one (I hope I'm allowed to use it in a talk page) is a fair use license screenshot (fair use is more restrictions) of a proprietary program. Althepal 06:45, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, I think I have it all fixed up now. I'm glad to have that cleared up.Jasper124c41 06:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Perfect! Althepal 06:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The (band)

The article The (band) has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Merope 17:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
