[edit] Taylor Caldwell
Please don't copy and paste material from other websites. Copyright violations can cause legal problems for Wikipedia. RickK 07:33, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Same message from me, if you keep adding copyrighted material to wikipedia you may be blocked from editing. --nixie 12:30, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Please read my latest discussion entry!! I have FULL PERMISSION from the owner to reproduce this piece from their site and they are fully aware of the ramifications of this. There will be no legal problems - the owner has in effect "given" the article to me to do with as I wish, OK? (And if you don't believe me, please feel free to write to him at "petri.liukkonen@kuusankoski.fi"!!) Jaycey 20/6/05
[edit] Style
Wikipedia style is to format Book Titles like that not look BOOK TITLES. I don't really mind if you put text in the latter format to start with, but please don't revert my corrections. Thanks, Morwen - Talk 10:17, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks - it does look better. (This is the first Wikipedia entry I have made and I'm not aware of the etiquette, apologies.) Jaycey 21/6/05
[edit] Images
Thanks for uploading Image:Taylor2.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images (on my talk page) and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, BrokenSegue 02:53, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks - see my comment on your Talk page Jaycey 22/6/05
- So, sorry somehow I completely forgot to respond to you message. My appologies. Let me see, let me see. If you don't know the source of the image the best you can really do, assuming the image is relatively new, is cite fair use. The image on Taylor Caldwell is probably a copyright violation, especially since we don't know where it came from. The other image seems to be a publicity photo and is on a publishing website, so I'd say it's fair to use fair use there. Generally we like to use as few fairuse pictures as possible, but if you can find no other it is okay. Neither of them, however, can be used on a free license which is greatly prefered. I'll weed around a little and see if I can find some better versions. You might want to read Wikipedia:Copyrights, if you haven't allready, because it gives a nice overview of fairuse and other copyirghts aceptable around here. Cheers!

- Thre is no hard or fast rule. Since the image has been spread around (I think i saw EB using the picture too) then it is easier for you to make a case for fair use. I'd go ahead and mark it as {{fairuse}}. I'm no copyright lawyer so if you want a definitive answer you'd have to go elsewhere. This is good enough, however.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Jess2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jess2.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. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 13:57, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
