[edit] Editor Attack

I seemed to have upset soem editors and they are now circling the wagons. I own full copyright to all the images that I post yet they refuse to read a word of what I say.

Here is an email to an editor from the previous copyright holder (not that it will do mucg good because they all seem to be in bed with each other)

Dear Robert

Thank you for your email and your interest in Northern Ireland talent.

I presume that you are one of the voluntary editors that manages the Wikipedia site? If so I am I happy to confirm the following:.

Austen Lennon approached me, and other management agencies, several months ago and pointed out that Wikipedia was not representing the huge array of talent that we have in Northern Ireland. Mr. Lennon offered to help enhance this oversight in Wikipedia and asked me if he could use the images that I own.

Over the months Austen Lennon proved to be very passionate and honest about his commitment and has worked hard (and without any reward from myself or the other agencies) to improve the situation and as a result I gave him full copyright over all the images on my site and he is free to use these to help improve the information that Wikipedia holds regarding Northern Ireland talent. I placed no restrictions on the images and they are free to use as Common Media files (I believe that is the right term)

So, I believe that the answer you need is yes, Austen Lennon has the copyright to all of the images on my site, (www.DavidHullPromotions.com) and several other sites too.

Regards

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Hugo_Duncan.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hugo_Duncan.jpg. I noticed 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 {{di-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 even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rette tast 22:48, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Please have them send a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Once that is received, someone from that office will tag the image as having confirmed permission. You can see a sample letter of permission at Wikipedia:COPYREQ#Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries. Thank you. --B (talk) 15:39, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

The picture you uploaded of him looks rather like the picture on his posters in the Assembly election. Are you sure they're copyright free?Traditional unionist (talk) 19:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

He's clearly changed there! Haven't spoken to him in a while so I suppose I wouldn't know!Traditional unionist (talk) 23:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. You seem to be having a number of issues with image copyrights. As you say you are the owner of some of them and are releasing them free of copyright, let me know if I can help with establishing it on here and ensuring they are not deleted. As an OTRS volunteer here, I manage image permissions and copyrights and may be able to help.

Hi, I see that you have replied to the problem with this image. Unfortunately, to say that "permission was granted from the management company and the artist his/her self" leaves Wikipedia open to a number of copright issues. The site has to be very careful as to what it allows and anyone could put an image on the site claiming that they have permission. Nobody expects you to run around looking for permission but you do seem to have grasped the idea with all the David Hull clients. Maybe you could put their management contact details on so that one of the administrators can contact them? (Quentin X (talk) 12:27, 10 January 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Marionsmith.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Marionsmith.jpg. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Quentin X (talk) 12:03, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vendetta(!)

Re your accusation, I have no intention of pursuing a vendetta against anybody. If you would care to look above under Ruth Langsford you will see the reasons that I have given. Faithfully (Quentin X (talk) 20:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC))

My good Irish friend, a vendetta is when you have a long-running argument or fight between parties. Long-running is something like Coronation St so please don't take it to heart.

I would point out a couple of things. To gain permission to upload images such as these they MUST come from the copyright holder, not a third party such as yourself.

Also, only administrators can remove disputed tags, which is why I keep on reverting your edits. I have them on my watchlist just to make sure you don't jump any gun. This is not slur against you, its something a lot of contributors do. All I want is for an administrator to say that they are fair, if they do I'll abide by that. I just don't think they are. Yours from the south (Quentin X (talk) 23:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC))

[edit] COPYRIGHT

I may be Irish but I am not stupid as you imply and I am more than aware what a vendetta is - you are waging one and I AM THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER - would you like that in french, german, irish?. Austenlennon (talk) 01:54, 30 January 2008 (UTC)austenlennon

OK, I've tried to be jovial but you seem to have got the wrong end of that stick so I suppose I'll have to give it to you straight. I have a problem with the images for the following reasons:

1. And most fundamentaly these images have already been deleted, although you reuploaded them the same day, and the reasons given by yourself are basically the same as when the were deleted beforehand. This would normally get them re-deleted almost immediately but they seem to have been overlooked and I have given you the benefit of the doubt as you have said that you have permission to use them, however

2. There is no proof that you are who you say you are. It is fine calling yourself Austenlennon and saying that you are the austenlennon who has permission from these people but unfortunately that is just not good enough for Wikipedia who have to be wary of copyright violation. This means that if permission has been granted from the management of these people it needs to be sent to Wikipedia and verified so that they can be used freely. Also, you say that you have permission from these people to use the image but call yourself the copyright holder. This creates a paradox as if they have given you permission they must be the copyright holder and not you.

As for this inconsequential spat between you and I. Nobody called you stupid and nothing that was said was used to imply nor infer that you are. I am surprised that you said I may be Irish but I am not stupid . Does this mean that you actually agree with the stereotype. I thought that if you were Irish you had a go at Kerrymen.

Also, if you want to say it in German, French or Gaelic, be my guest. I have a couple of Oxford translation dictionaries and my family in Limerick will be able to translate the other I shouldn't wonder.

My advice to you is to get the copyright issue sorted or other photographs that you have uploaded may be looked at.

From the south, (Quentin X (talk) 00:06, 31 January 2008 (UTC))

These are a very diverse list of people as well - do you represent ALL of these people?Traditional unionist (talk) 00:11, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Can't say that I am interested in a long debate with you... I own the copyright of these photos (and yes all of them) and I do ask the artists and management if the photograph is the one they want on the Wikipedia, it is only polite to do so. Asking them does not mean that they have copyright.... But quite frankly I am no longer interested in expanding Wiki as there ar too many nosey busybodies with nothing better to do rather than sticking their noses in at every opportunity. So I will allow any and every image that I have tried to add to Wiki to be deleted. It is not worth the hassle... and I am Austen Lennon any serach of the internet will find me and my home address and telephone number and email. I hide nothing.

Hmmmmm...knickers....twist. (Quentin X (talk) 16:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC))

You wrote You have increased the stakes by encouraging your Wiki mates to go through all my postings and delete them or is it just a coincidence that all my images that I have put on for the last year are tagged for deletion. It also appears that the abusive messages I have started getting are from your mates too. I hope they gave you a hat for this position..

Again you have the wrong end of the stick. As you will see if you look at my contributions I have never been in contact with the administrator who has tagged your images for deletion. They have seen that two of the images that you uploaded were not verified by the copyright holder, by email, deleted them and then tagged the rest as they have also not been verified by email. As for the abusive messages you say are from my mates, I hope you have some proof of this as unsubstantiated accusations like that can get a user blocked. And I need a nice hat, it's getting cold and I don't want to lose any heat through my head...(!) From the south, (Quentin X (talk) 15:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Let's See (reply)

If you look here you will see that an administrator has sent an email to the website requesting confirmation that the images are free to upload and I have added the ones that you reuploaded today as there is no point in not being thorough. I repeat, again, nobody is saying that you don't have the copyright to the images (except for Jackie Fullerton which is another type of copyright), it is just that the confirmation needs to come direct from the website and, unfortunately, the one that you have pasted on every image isn't good enough as it could have come from anyone, whether you own the copyright or not. Those are the rules, I don't make them but I do abide by them. (Quentin X (talk) 21:08, 4 February 2008 (UTC))

The person in question did reply and that was sent by me to OTRS yesterday (2/4); OTRS should be processing it in the next few days. The images aren't due to come up for final decision for a while, ergo the ticket number, etc., should be posted by OTRS. I did leave an additional note as to which were covered - so it's up to them at this point. SkierRMH (talk) 18:00, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Personality rights

The personality rights tag does affect the "free-ness" of the image from a Wikipedia point of view. That tag informs potential users that just because they don't have to worry about copyright infringement, they still cannot use the image for purposes of advertsing or trade. The image cannot be used to endorse a product and things like that. -Regards Nv8200p talk 20:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I have not seen it required by any policy. I have put it on all my images of people as a matter of habit because it seems like the right thing to do. I like to see it, but it is your option to add the tag if you want to take the time. -Nv8200p talk 21:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
