[edit] Floaters

Hello, Acdx. I'd just like to know - how did you make the image of the floaters in that article? They are identical to the ones that I see! Did you use a Photoshop brush, then make it transparent and emboss it? —Vanderdecken∴∫ξφ 15:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I did some brush strokes on a couple of separate layers, made the fills near-transparent and applied emboss. Acdx (talk | contribs) 15:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Mslogo.gif

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Mslogo.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. RN 05:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I also noticed I had abbreviated Microsoft in the filename, so I re-uploaded at Image:Microsoft_logo.gif, just in case. Now includes source information. Article updated. Acdx (talk | contribs) 13:26, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bang head on keyboard

Oh, I thought it was funnier with Bong Bong Bong. :) Oh well, if you like it the old way, I don't mind at all. ;) QuizQuick 01:41, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, that was just my personal opinion. Thanks anyway! Acdx (talk | contribs) 19:37, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright problems with Image:Microsoft_logotype.svg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Microsoft_logotype.svg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

The image just needs to be resampled into a low-resolution PNG image, see discussion located here Thanks! GChriss 17:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] News is news is news.

  1. It didn't require a subscription. It was blatantly free on my Google News page, and it continues to appear on a random basis (Interspersed, as I have noticed now, with "Crash Not Actually Found")
  2. The article I used did not have a timestamp, as such it makes it difficult to determine the which article is the most recent.
  3. You can remove the dispute tag as I have removed the sourced statements I added, unless you have something more accurate to state.
  4. Instead of making this angry sounding post on my talk page, I'd like it better if you reverted me, THEN warned me. That seems to be a better use of time.
  5. The LA Times isn't reliable?
    User:Logical2uTalk 20:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, apologies if I sound angry... I'm doing some work in the background being easily distracted by Wikipedia... When I came back here, I reread what I wrote, and I thought "Ogod, I'm banned for Personal Attacks now". At least it's over... User:Logical2uTalk 20:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Adamair.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Adamair.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

[edit] Image:Floaters.png

Hi, Acdx! I'd like to upload your image Floaters on Commons, to use it on the italian article about floaters... do you have any abjection about that? --IlSoge aka Sogeking 14:53, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thank you! It's a good image, you know, they're exactly like the floaters I see... Bye! --IlSoge aka Sogeking 13:59, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:GE_Logo.svg)

Thanks for uploading Image:GE_Logo.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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. Selket Talk 16:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Ejiofor_4Brothers.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ejiofor_4Brothers.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:

  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, 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. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 01:19, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:StoraEnso logotype.png

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:StoraEnso logotype.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:23, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Bézier curve in Adobe Illustrator CS2.png

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Bézier curve in Adobe Illustrator CS2.png. 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:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-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, 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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot (talk) 03:08, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I beleive that the image may be your intellectual property and not Adobe's. I've read through the

Adobe License agreement which lays no claim to Output Files. Hence I think its OK to label the image with a licence of your choosing, perhaphs {{GFDL-self}}. --Salix alba (talk) 18:04, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Now tagged with GFDL-self. Acdx 19:37, 20 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 2.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 2.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
