[edit] All Saints picture can't be used

It is a promotional picture of unknown status from a copyright site. It's not crown copyright, but promotional, however the site does not indicate that it is part of press kit and therefore it's a copyright violation. Images have to be free of outstanding rights for the photographer and only cover art, press kits, etc. are free from those rights. Even though most picture on official sites are also free from outstanding rights, it is hardly ever identified as such. KittenKlub 05:42, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Like I said above. The picture will be deleted because it is a copyright violation. I didn't make the rules, but the result will be that All Saints will have NO picture at all, and it's better to have something than nothing. The picture is not officially labelled as a promotional picture and that means that it is copyrighted picture of unknown status. KittenKlub 15:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Bdaypromopicture.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bdaypromopicture.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 a justification explaining 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu Badali 11:27, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Ciaratheevolution.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. Yamla 00:12, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Point of No Return (3LW album), Feelin' You and No Matter What

I have nominated Point of No Return (3LW album), Feelin' You and No Matter What for deletion. You may comment on the proposed deletions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Point of No Return (3LW album) -- Donald Albury 11:22, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Sugababespromo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sugababespromo.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}}, 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 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. 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. --Yamla 00:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Thesweetescape.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. 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.

[edit] Sugababes image

You said: "Still in violation of WP:FUC. You are saying that my image 'Sugabaespromo.jpg' fails the first fair use criteria because "the source of the picture still exists and given that this is the current lineup, that is the case." So i cannot upload an image if the subject still exists?"

You cannot upload a fair-use image if the subject of the image still exists, that's correct. At least, except under extreme circumstances. For example, if a person has gone into hiding, we do not consider it possible to get a replacement even though the subject still exists. --Yamla 15:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

You said: "Ok well i have changed the license tag as i see i cannot use it under fair-use image and have appropiately changed it. I found Image:Gapromo.jpg and my image applies by and shares the same properties, so i have used a similar tag."

You changed it to another fair-use license. In fact, any license for this image will be a fair-use license as it is clearly a copyrighted image not released under a free license. --Yamla 00:16, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

You said: "Ok well if it doesn't abide by law, then remove it, i'm not trying to take the mickey, just trying to understand this. Could u just explain to me how i can get a picture of the current line-up by abiding the wikipedia law. Do i use their official websites or can i not? Where do i get freely licensed images? Does this mean no picture can be used for this group? I see pictures of other subjects that still exist, but thought because most were from the US, i had to find a license that applies to the UK."

As the subject of the image still exists, you have to find a freely-licensed image. That is, an image released to the public domain (not copyrighted), or licensed under the GFDL or most Creative Commons licenses. This essentially means that any copyrighted image will likely be unsuitable, which includes any image from their website. If you yourself took an image, you could release it under one of those licenses. This may not be reasonable, of course; there's little chance that I could get an image of the Sugababes, for example, as I no longer live in the United Kingdom. However, if someone else has taken an image of them, they may be willing to license it under one of these licenses. Often, you can find images on flikr taken by fans that are already licensed appropriately. There are also search engines to find CC-licensed images, though I don't recall where exactly. As a general rule, promotional images are inappropriate on the Wikipedia except where it is a logical impossibility to find a replacement. That means they are acceptable to depict fictional characters. --Yamla 16:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


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

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Mariogo.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. Yamla 01:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

You have been blocked for 24 hours for this edit where you remove a tag from an image you have been warned about without resolving the underlying problem. This is a serious act of vandalism on your part and will not be tolerated. --Yamla 15:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Jojothehighroadcover.jpg. 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).
