[edit] License tagging for Image:Whitecapskitaway.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Whitecapskitaway.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:13, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logos

Permission to use on Wikipedia is not sufficient. Images must be freely licensed. No sports club would ever freely license their logo as it would allow others to use it commercially. You also have the kit sponsor in the upper left corner, and the team badge in the top right, which are both unfree. ed g2stalk 12:17, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Please read WP:FU before throwing any more insults my way (see also WP:NPA). For the article on Umbro the logo is a significant part of the company - and adds significantly to the encyclopaedic value of the article, however we try to avoid unfree images wherever possible. The team colours are an important part of the team's identity, but that they have a kit and team logo on their shirt is nothing special, and can be mentioned in the article if deemed particularly significant. ed g2stalk 14:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
If you want to contest this further please bring it up at WT:FU and Template talk:Football kit, where consensus has been reached in the past on this issue. ed g2stalk 14:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
The kit cannot contain any logos, including the club logo, which is copyrighted. These are not released under a free license, which means that third parties can't use them for commercial purposes or make derivative works. ed g2stalk 11:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
