[edit] Keith Richards images

You uploaded those two pics to Keith Richards saying "out of copyright". No source, no evidence they would be out of copyright. Since they're not old enough to be public domain, they would be born copyrighted and would by default still be copyrighted. what are the sources and how are they out of copyright? - David Gerard 18:58, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The one with the hand and jewelry is from the Talk is Cheap Album art; the name of the photographer is included on the image. It is Sante D’Orazio. The older photograph and the one with his wife I just googled and they were the first images I put up. I actually did not know how to add captions, and I suppose I forgot about crediting sources. I think other authors changed the images too, so I imagined they were far from serious infractions of copyright, as I understand the GNU license. Are you suggesting these are copyright violations, or just not properly cited? Let me know please, because as I understand the GNU and educational purposes of Wikipedia, then other images I have placed on articles will need to be withdrawn. Additionally, since I have your ear and you seem to be an authority of some limited stature in this encyclopedic enterprise, what is the copyright status for taking images off google and then using software like Adobe to alter them and making a 'new' disnctive image? How does Wikipedia deal with these types of images?. --Mikerussell 00:48, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Take some time looking over Wikipedia:Images and associated pages, particularly Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Use of images doccumented to be public domain or GFDL are prefered when possible. Most published photos of contemporary public figures will generally not fall into these categories, but we can make some use of them under Wikipedia:Fair use. If an image is under copyright, making alterations on the image does not negate the original copyright. Hope this helps, Cheers -- Infrogmation 17:35, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I have reinserted several images in accordance with copyright provisions under law. After reading sections on Wikipedia fair use, and image tagging, the images have adequate information in their file- click on image to see. --Mikerussell 07:08, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for going back over the images you've uploaded. Good work. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 08:02, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright Images & My Uploads

--Mikerussell 07:54, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)I have gone back to tag all my uploaded images. Several should be deleted as soon as possible, and I have either added my own tag, or left the one present already on the file. However, others I have tagged with copyright tags and feel they are valid tags.

As of Dec 29th, 2004, all images still on articles, I sincerely believe are legal and do not violate copyright laws.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Kronkboxing.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Kronkboxing.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 02:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

The image is a copyrighted work from this website; [1]/] which is selling clothing for the Kronck Gym. It is a PUBLICITY PHOTO and thus fits a criteria in wikipedia to display it; although I don't know why I did not include the info originially. --Mikerussell 12:25, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:AllanBloom.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AllanBloom.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

New Replacement photo found. I will contact the copyright holder of the new photo Image:AllanDavidBloombyPaul Merideth.jpg to confirm its use in wikipedia. I emailed him and will withdraw the photo if he wishes it to be withdrawn. I provided a link to the article in my email to him.--Mikerussell 01:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright on Image:LeoStraussfairuse.jpg

Hey there Mikerussel. Thanks for uploading the Leo Strauss image. We need to be a bit more precise on the copyright, though. For an image from the 1920s, we need to be pretty precise about who took the photo and exactly when and where it was published if we're going to claim it's copyright-expired. I retagged the image as PD-US since if we're claiming PD we can't also claim copyright and GFDL license. Can you update the image description with more detailed info about where you got this from? Thanks. Tkinias 11:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Scanned image from the cover of the book The Rebirth of Classical Political Rationalism: an introduction to the thought of Leo Strauss: Essays and lectures by Leo Strauss selected and introduced by Thomas L. Pangle. University of Chicago Press, 1989.

The cover of the paperback has the image, it was scanned many years ago by me and then altered to get the photo using Adobe and was applied in a PowerPoint presentation to demonstrate, believe it or not, copyright sourcing. The copyright I believe, although the book is not with me right now, states it is owned by Leo Strauss estate/archive- something like that. The same photo appears on many other editions of his work and it qualifies as a promotional photo too probably, at any rate, the photo is PD, and I meant to choose that when I first uploaded it. For some reason I couldn't find the correct selection in the drop down box.--Mikerussell 16:47, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UWindsor userbox

The time and effort I used to make the image for the University of Windsor box is no different than the ones for Queen's or U of Waterloo. Thus, the image was retagged and re-inserted, after reading your direction to Durin's page, I think you guys are so way off the legal path it gets scary. Policies are not enforcable by a cabal of freelance admins. Who is Durin and yourself, that you have such certainity you have insight to copyright law? you guys need to offer some valid case law, or statute, or reference to binding arbitration or judicial opinion or whatever, cause otherwise you sound like a bunch drunks in a corner bar or jailhouse inmate in the 'law library'.--Mikerussell 18:40, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd appreciate it if you could refrain from personal attacks, thank you. I freely admit I have little knowledge of copyright law, however, my edits were based off of Wikipedia policy, which prohibits fair use images from being used anywhere other than articles. —Mira 19:40, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I'm not an administrator. —Mira 19:40, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

You should work to avoid personalizing comments as 'personal attacks' and listen closer to what others are saying and how you are responding in turn. The 'personal attack' is a vaild analogy to how persons ill-suited to dispense with legal opinions feel free to act as experts. If you are easily offended, I apologize. Nevertheles, you seem to completely miss the point. Whether or not it is a policy is not the issue, passing the buck is hardly a useful way of coping with fellow wiki editors. why not observe what you are doing before editing others work based on a self-appointed police authority. Learning about the reasons why a policy exists is just as important as carrying through a flawed patrolling. --Mikerussell 23:48, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid I've missed the point again...what is so "flawed" about what I did? Mira 00:37, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

You deleted a valid image.--Mikerussell 02:01, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I didn't delete anything, but I did remove an image that was tagged as fair use from a location where fair use images are not allowed. —Mira 02:14, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the you miss the point, but it is getting to be a waste of time. I would ask that you respect the contribution of others, as much as you value your own power to exact policy mandates. Generally speaking, this Talk section, and the 'article' you use to 'explain' your 'reasoning' via link to User:Durin/Removal of fair use images threaten the continued contribution of readers/editors who spend time trying to make the wikipedia better for all users. A person who enforces policies has no greater right to assert they are helping wikipedia then one who disagrees with the policy. Tty to be more of a creative force than a puppet of the policy. Do you even have any reason to care about the University of Windsor's Userbox or logo? Oh right, sorry- enforcing policy. --Mikerussell 02:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I think I see now. You have a problem with the policy. In that case, I suggest you go to the policy talk page and see if you can convince people to change it. I have made no assertion that I am helping Wikipedia more or less than anyone else, and I don't believe that I have threatened anyone's contributions. If you succeed in getting the policy changed, please come back and let me know. Until then, I will continue to remove fair use images from non-article pages. —Mira 02:36, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:AllanDavidBloombyPaul Merideth.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AllanDavidBloombyPaul Merideth.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.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:AllanDavidBloombyPaul Merideth.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AllanDavidBloombyPaul Merideth.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, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kimchi.sg 07:06, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:UserboxWindsor.JPG retagged as fair use

Greetings! Image:UserboxWindsor.JPG is a derivative work of Image:Uwindsorlogo.gif. As such, the University of Windsor still retains rights to the image. Therefore, it must be tagged as a fair use image unless we receive permission from them releasing the image into the public domain. I've changed the tag on the image to {{logo}} to reflect this. Since the image is not used in any main namespace article, which is a requirement for fair use images, I've placed it for deletion. It will be deleted in seven days unless it is used in a main namespace article. If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. All the best, --Durin 14:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Please do not re-add this image to {{User UWindsor}} as you did here. The image is properly tagged as a fair use image as University of Windsor retains rights to the image. The use of fair use images on templates is proscribed by Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9. Fair use images may only be used on main namespace articles, not on templates or userpages. If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Thanks, --Durin 02:51, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

You need to better understand your own flawed thinking here. you changed the image to FAIR USE, not GDFL, by claiming it is part of the logo used in the University of Windsor article, thus it constitutes the same image in law, as explained by wikipedia policy, and thus can be used in the userbox. You cannot argue contradictory points.--Mikerussell 02:56, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Since the University of Windsor retains rights to the image, the use of it here on Wikipedia is under terms of fair use. We do not otherwise have permission to use the image here, barring any communications from them to the contrary. There is no contradiction here. The image is copyrighted and may only be used on main namespace articles. I have reverted your change, again. Do not reinsert the image as doing so is a violation of policy. You are aware of the policy. Continued violations of it can lead to a temporary block of your editing privileges. I am happy to answer any questions about this matter, but constant reverting in violation of policy is not a way to resolve this. Thank you, --Durin 03:03, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I misunderstood the policy, since I assumed if you have called the image FAIR USE and are using it on the article, it could be used in other places. However, I will contact the university and find out wherther the first image that I called GDFL, is copywrited in law. I suspect it is a FAIR USE image and can be used elsewhere. Before you arbitrarily changed it from gdfl to FAIR USE, who did you consult, what was your source to say that shape, is copyrighted? --Mikerussell 03:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I emailed the Public Affairs and Communications (PAC) at the University tonight and will be curious to see how they answer. --Mikerussell 03:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

This isn't the correct logo for use in the userbox. Based on the template for Universities, the official crest should be placed in the userbox (see Queen's University, UWO, etc). Jc8025 18:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] As per EMAIL sent August 11th 2006

This userbox is placed here as part of an email sent to Public Affairs and Communications, so that Mrs. Mary Beaudoin can see what is asked after in the email.

DO NOT DELETE THIS IMAGE Durin until She has a chance to view it completely.

• To Ms. Beaudoin and to Mikerussell: it must be understood that there are multiple, multiple replicates of Wikipedia across a wide variety of web servers around the world, few of which are connected in any way with Wikipedia. For a list of the websites from A to C that use our content, see Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/Abc. Note that there are 118 websites on that list alone.
• Our goals here are to write an encyclopedia that is free to distribute. This includes the possibility of commercial replication by other parties. We far prefer images granted to us on a free-license basis, such as Creative Commons or GNU Free Documentation License. Note that if you, Ms. Beaudoin, should release the image we are discussing for the purposes only of Wikipedia itself that we must still decline its use under anything but fair use. We do not accept images under non-commercial licenses, or use only on Wikipedia licenses. In the vast majority of cases, they must either be free licensed or used here under fair use. Thus, if you are going to release the image to us to be used in the "userbox" as shown above, it must be released under a free license entitling anyone to use it for whatever purpose they like.
• If either of you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Ms. Beaudoin, you can contact me at wikidurin@hotmail.com. Thank you, --Durin 04:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• First, my compliments to you for helping this be an amicable process! I've deleted the images you requested for deletion. If you do hear from either of these parties in the future, then by all means re-upload, especially the Allan Bloom image. Don't despair at not hearing. I e-mailed the Vatican twice regarding the use of papal symbols and never heard back from them. Somewhat depressing, but there are also times when you do hear back. I know of a user who contacted the State of Nebraska regarding the use of their seal. He heard back quite rapidly. Still, as you say, not receiving word back from somebody can not be interpreted as them releasing their rights as we need to have positive affirmation of such release. Otherwise, less ethical people than you could just say "Well, I never heard back from them" and in reality they never bothered to contact them. That would open us to significant legal problems. --Durin 19:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Bloom's Republic Translation and essay.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bloom's Republic Translation and essay.gif. 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. 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. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 10:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Burford.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Burford.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 that provides substantially the same information. 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, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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. -SCEhardT 04:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image tag advisory

Hi. You might want to rethink the GNU image tag you placed on Image:BackcoverSoftMachineppk1971.JPG. I tried that a long time ago and it isn't considered a valid licencing criteria, because while you made the scan, you cannot release it to GNU because you do not hold copyright of the subject matter, which is copyrighted by Grove Press. The only fair use tag that is acceptable is the {{bookcover}} tag, and you must include the copyright date of the edition, who owns the copyright, and a sentence or two explaining why it has been created. It's a royal pain - I speak from experience having lost a number of images in the past. It's not exaggerating to say that there are editors who do nothing but spend their time looking for these sorts of images and either deleting them outright or flagging them for deletion (I'm not one of them - I just spotted it when I was doing some maintenance-editing on a few Burroughs-related articles). As for the image itself, I'm uncertain whether it is considered acceptable as it is a reproduction of a piece of copyrighted text. If you haven't already, I suggest reading Wikipedia:Fair use as it not only spells out the current (and, it seems, ever-changing) rules on what's allowed, but the talk page is quite active and someone there can probably give you a definitive yea or nay as to whether this image is OK for Wikipedia or not. Cheers. 23skidoo 23:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The death of Mick Jagger

Please do not add an untrue death date to an article. Although it is April Fool's Day, this is still considered vandalism. Please redirect all joking to Uncyclopedia. Thank you. Tsukikosagi 16:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I deleted it dummy. Next time learn how to read an edit log before you start shooting off messages accusing editors of vandalism. Anybody with a moment or two can read the change edit log, you should get the hang of it, eh.--Mikerussell 16:11, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My apologies.

I apologize for wrongly leaving a message concerning vandalism on your talk page. I will read more carefully next time. Please accept my apology. Tsukikosagi 16:43, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Apology accepted

I am sorry I got cranky with you when it was an honest mistake. --Mikerussell 16:52, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
