[edit] Unspecified source for Image:WHouse1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:WHouse1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 16:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Matthew Bogdanos

Hello, I have been working on this bio of Matthew Bogdanos and have recently visited the site and saw that a personal photo of his on the web page was taken down. How can I restore this without fear of further deletion? Thanks so much....

Hi, you'll need to find (or take yourself) a photograph licensed under a free license - you can't just copy a photo of any old website on the internet, since it's almost certainly copyright (even if released as part of a press kit). Once uploaded, the image will need it's source and license explicitly added to the image page. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for more info, or feel free to post a response if this isn't clear. _└ ^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 15:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Please note that a license under which "only Wikipedia has permission to use this file" is not acceptable because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it. If you created the photograph and want it to be kept on Wikipedia, you should upload it and tag it as {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. If you did not create the photograph but want it to be used on Wikipedia you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license. _└ ^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 15:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Matthew Bogdanos

Hello, thanks for your speedy reply. Matthew himself provided this photo of Don Bosco speech to me and it is his own photo, it did not come from a website. How can I add this? Under the Free License tag?

Thanks

Hi Peggy, OK fair enough. You don't, however, state under what terms Matthew is willing for you to use this image. As I said above, it's not enough for him to give you consent for it to be uploaded to Wikipedia alone, he must also be willing for it to be used under a free license. I'd suggest he agrees to license it under the GFDL, although a Creative Commons license or releasing it into the public domain would be just as good (this all assumes he actually owns the copyright to the image in the first place). You may find Wikipedia:Example requests for permission useful in asking him about this.

Once he's agreed to license the image, you should re-upload it, choosing the appropriate license which he's agreed to (eg "GFDL") from the drop down menu. In the description field, you should make it clear where the image came from, and that the author has agreed to license it (eg "Image provided by Matthew Bogdanos, and licensed under the GFDL". For legal reasons, you should also forward a copy of the email in which Matthew agreed to license the image to "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org" where it will be permanently archived. The same is true for any image to which he holds the copyright, and agrees to license in this way.

For images which could not be freely reproduced (eg Image:WHouse.jpg) you could probably justify fair use under US copyright law. You'd need to edit it to add a description as to where the image came from (and who took it, who holds the copyright) along with a fair use justification (something along the lines of "Image illustrates a meeting between X and X, for which no free image could be obtained" and the fair use image tag {{fairusein|Matthew Bogdanos}}). Note that fair use is only applicable under certain instances - a photo of Matthew alone could not be used in this way, since a free alternative could be obtained.

I know this is a lot to take in, but it's important that images used do not breach copyright laws. Hope this helps _└ ^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 17:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
