[edit] Adaptations
When you say that you adapted stuff from some web site, what exactly does that mean? :) If it's translation and slight rephrasing of a paragraph or two of something like history or geography, I don't think that's a copyright issue, but if it's a larger text, I don't think that just an acknowledgement is enough... --Shallot 21:57, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for the warning, but I still din't "steel" a complete text. Anyway, I will have this in mind. I plan to fill up Croatian geographial data, and of course I have to take data from somewhere. Do you think I should ask the source? --Mestric 22:59, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

- If you rephrase everything and use general, widely-available facts, then no. But if you just translate whole texts, then yes, you have to ask the source to give you explicit permission. --Joy [shallot] 23:09, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

- Ok, thanks again. But what if I do not rephrase every sentence? Now, on the article Varazdin county I copypasted ONLY the third section form www.hgk.hr, is it allowed? I think you are allowed to reproduce, in generally, some percent of text and not to violate copyrights.--Mestric 23:15, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

- Yep, if you replicate a small portion and attribute it, that's fair use. However, you can simply rephrase it all and drop the attribution, too :) --Joy [shallot]

[edit] Image copyrights
Thanks for uploading Image:Pag1.jpg and Image:Pag2.jpg. I notice they currently don't have image copyright tags. Could you add one to let us know their 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 and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, — Edwin Stearns | Talk 19:57, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I added {{fairuse}} because they came from promotional site of the Town of Pag. I hope it is correct? --Mestric 15:35, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Also Image:Dubrovnik in croatia.jpg Denni☯
- I added {{gfdl}}, I created it myself. --Mestric 15:35, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Location maps
I've replaced Image:Varazdin in croatia.jpg with an automatically generated map, so that image is now at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. --Joy [shallot] 11:50, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Also Image:Knin in croatia.jpg. --Joy [shallot] 13:55, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Also Image:Ciovo in croatia.jpg. --Joy [shallot] 15:27, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:I KAUZLARIC VARAZDIN 1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:I KAUZLARIC VARAZDIN 1.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. YellowDot 02:28, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
