[edit] License tagging for Image:Bucky.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bucky.jpg. 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. 07:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Ray Childress

The image was licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "for use on wikipedia only" which is not considered free enough for wikipedia. Looking at it I would need to see evidence that it was released under any such lisence in any case.Geni 20:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not employed by wikipedia. The image was released under a lisence that is not free enough for wikipedia. For wikipedia use images need to be released under lisences like the GFDL which allows anyone to use it for anything (includeing comercial use) as long as they keep the image under the GFDL. There is no way to lisence the image as wikipedia only.Geni 23:21, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re Stephen McGee Image

Well, we have a really strict policy on images. Basically, we only use images that are in the public domain (or licensed under the GDFL, which is basically the same thing)- see WP:IUP. There are a few exceptions for special cases (see WP:FU but this wasn't one of them. So really we mostly only use images that are really old (and their copyright has expired) or that someone made and released into the public domain. Sorry we have to be so strict but there it is. Good luck and happy editing, cheers, Herostratus 01:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Boonestutz.jpg listed for deletion

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Boonestutz.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{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 this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. MECU≈talk 23:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boone Stutz

Non commercial licenses are not considered free enough for use on wikipedia.Geni 13:38, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Did you get some kind of email from the owner of the website/image that they were willing to release this image? If so, Have you forwarded it to Wikipedia? Can you post the relevant section of the email into the image description page please? If you haven't yet, you may want to take a look at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Thanks. --MECU≈talk 17:36, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
