[edit] Image copyright problem RE: Image:Egnatia.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Egnatia.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:

  • 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. --Sherool (talk) 19:53, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] In reply to your e-mail

Hi, about that image:

Looking at the deleted history the first one got deleted because the tag you added where obviosly not correct. In order for something to be licensed under the GFDL the original author(s) have to explicitly release it under that license. The absense of a copyright notice on a site does not mean it's free licensed or public domain either. The default state of all published work full copyright in all but a few rare cases. So basicaly unless someone explicitly says "this image is released under such-and-such license" asume it's "© all rights reserved" unless you know for a fact that it's source is public domain or something.

It can maybe be used under fair use, but the current {{art}} tag is a little dodgy (it's meant for paintings and such). Use {{fairusein|Via Egnatia}} instead and explain on the image page why you think it qualifies as fair use in that article.

All things considered it would be far better if you made a new map from scratch based on the info on that map ("raw" info can not be copyrighted, just a particular representation of it). For example you could see if you find a suitable blank (or easy to blank) image at commons:Category:Maps of Greece, then based on the copyrighted map draw the route of the road on the blank map and upload it under a suitable free license (beeing sure to atribute the author of the blank map, unless it was public domain). --Sherool (talk) 20:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About your userpage deletion question

You can't delete your userpage yourself, but you can request to have it deleted if you wish. Add for example {{db|<reason>}} to the page and an admin looking at the speedy deletion category will find it and delete it. I don't quite see why you would want to delete it, not a lot of sensitive information there, but if you rely want it gone it's rarely a big deal to get your own stuff deleted. --Sherool (talk) 19:44, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pumpie's latest translated articles

They are not automatically translated from Google, I translated from my head, What mark do I get for translating these articles and the next ones. I will translate properly some sentences that I know how to translate. --Pumpie 20:15, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greek places and roads

Not most of them are trivial and newer articles that I have edited are not trivial, For roads, there are information about roads from articles about North American, Australian, Asian and European places articles as well as on municipalities in all languages. Newer articles are not out of date. Geographical information and Businesses are corrected and readable in newer articles. Check out Google Maps for the geographical map of the place name or others. On the roads, they are not out of date and they are being updated. Spelling has been corrected by other users. I will not refrain and I will create and edit articles more correctly and properly.

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Egnatia.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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.

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.

I found a free image on the German Wikipedia which can be used instead. Cheers. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 19:37, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use images

[edit] Image:Egnatia.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Egnatia.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 free 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. – Quadell (talk) (random) 13:55, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
