[edit] Douglas Bruce
Hi! I noticed that you added the Image:Douglas Bruce.jpg to the article on Douglas Bruce, and licensed the image under the GFDL. I just wanted to confirm that you were the photographer or the holder of the copyright to the image, because I've seen the image around a lot, and it's used prominently on Douglas Bruce's personal website. If you aren't the photographer or the copyright holder, then, even if an image is used widely on the internet, it can't necessarily be uploaded directly to Wikipedia and relicensed. I just want to make sure that we're using every image properly. Thanks! -- Sethant (talk) 03:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Beardmore.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Beardmore.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 08:05, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Image source problem with Image:Douglas Bruce.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Douglas Bruce.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, 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, 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}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 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 13:15, 9 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Genisock2 (talk) 13:15, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
