[edit] Image licensing

Hello. I see you have submitted an image file, Image:TarjaTurunen.jpg, but you have not provided licensing information. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Copyrights and provide licensing information for that image, or it might have to be deleted. Thanks. --malathion talk 16:04, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi again. Can you please explain how you know these images are available under the GFDL? Thanks. --malathion talk 19:02, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Unless images have been expressly released into the GFDL in writing, they should not be tagged as such. I fix up the licensing information on these images for you. Thanks for uploading them. :-) --malathion talk 19:22, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

I uploaded a higher-resolution image of Tarja at Image:Tarja hires.jpg. I hope you like it. Can you please explain to me where you got the following images, with a URL if possible?

They look like promo images to me, but it's always nice to be able to say where we got them. --malathion talk 19:45, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mats Levén

I've moved the page. Also, I'm adding copyright information to the image you created. I'm saying that the copyright holder allows anyone to use it for any purpose. If you would prefer that it be released under some other license, please let me know.

By the way, did you know that you can sign your name by typing ~~~~ after your messages? That would reduce confusion about who sent them. :-) --malathion talk 16:35, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stop needlessy changing pictures

Can you please stop needlessy changing around Tarjas picture? Just find a picture you like, upload it to Wikipedia (don't upload a high-res version it isnt necessary but provide a link if you want), attach necessary copyright tags and leave it alone. It's a waste of bandwidth that could be used for more important things like getting slashdotted. Be sure to delete all the old pics as they arent needed anymore.

I wish I could tell this to everyone. The reason I changed her picture was because the one I saw was ugly. It looked like a cross between Devastatin Dave and a porcelean doll.

I liked the pic I uploaded because it was simple and it showed her face clearly. Call me a snob, but if you have a portrait of someone on Wikipedia it's helpful to be able to see their face. I'm not gonna revert but would rather have you see the light. --Arm 19:07, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Also, please stop uploading promotional photos without any licensing information. If you keep doing this, I am just going to delete your images outright. Images must have licensing information properly explained, and this is not negotiable, both according to Wikipedia policy, and the law of the state of Florida and federal copyright law in the United States.

The last time you did this I went through great pains to correct your mistake for you. Please learn from this experience, and don't expect others to do image sleuthing on everything you upload. If you need any further explanation of Wikipedia copyright policy, please feel free to ask me. --Ryan Delaney talk 21:12, 1 September 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Nightwish1.jpg)

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Nightwish1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. 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 fair use 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. —♦♦ SʘʘTHING(Я) 08:27, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Therion1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Therion1.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. --Chowbok ☠ 19:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:TarjaTurunen2006.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:TarjaTurunen2006.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. 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. ReyBrujo 04:08, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
