[edit] Re: Image:Iniesta58031.jpeg
Hi, yeah the thing about the UEFA terms of use is that they do not say that the image is free for any use. They say that "you are granted permission to view, store, print, reproduce, distribute any pages or download any material from the Website for personal non-commercial use only provided that (a) you do not modify any such page or any such material (...)" (Emphasis mine). To be usable as "free content" on Wikipedia commercial use and modifications must be explicitly be allowed, see {{noncommercial}} it's a license issue, Wikipedia is available under the terms of the GFDL license wich roughtly states that our content can be used and modified by anyone for both commercial or non-commercial purposes as long as the result is released under the same terms and the authors are credited. Since UETA forbid both commercial use and modifications of theyr content it does not qualify as free content. I see someone else have made a claim of fair use for this particular image now though, so this particular problem should be solved. Just be carefull not to claim that images are more free than they rely are in the future. Telling people that they are free to use something for any purpose when they are in fact not is a copyright violation, and we rely should avoid that. --Sherool (talk) 20:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- But its a painful business getting hold of uncopyrighted images. How bad is the current status - with the "this is not right" notice stuck to the image? IOW, can this state of affairs continue indefinitely?

- Yeah you hit the nail on the head there, painfull business indeed (hopefully a growing number of Wikipedians with cameras will eventualy start to fill most of the blanks, and ocationaly copyright holders can be persuaded to release a limited number of images under a free license on topics where no free alternatives can be made by others (moves and such), but it is slow going and frustrating to not beeing eable to use most of the images that are out there).
-
- If you mean the status of this particular image it is no longer tagged as an imagevio, Jareth added a fair use claim to the image so it is no longer in danger of getting deleted at this time, it proably does need a stronger fair use rationale though. If not people might dispute the fair use claim somewhere down the road and have it deleted on those grounds. --Sherool (talk) 22:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox image size
Hi, I see you've been adding infoboxes to Barcelona players pages, great! It would be better if you didn't upscale the images to 250px though. If an image is 220px it doesn't look very good if it's upscaled. Other than that, keep it coming ;) jaco♫plane 17:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- If you look at the change I made on the Valdés article, you can see that I resized the image. That's because the original image was only 220 pixels, so when you put the size at 250px the image was stretched, which usually doesn't look very good. Cheers, jaco♫plane 12:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Xavi2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Xavi2.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:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - 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. Mosmof 20:38, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
