[edit] License tagging for Image:SelfInstall 175x175.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:SelfInstall 175x175.gif. 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. 20:09, 23 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:SelfInstall 175x175.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:SelfInstall 175x175.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BrownCow • (how now?) 00:13, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: vandals

I have reverted the anons deletes. It could be that someone sees the Newgrass article as describing a company not notable enough for inclusion. I have no idea about that, but either way, anyone wanting to delete an article should follow standard procedure for such things, and not just blank it. I left a note to the anon doing it and asked him to at least explain any deletes. Shanes 23:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

It's not blank. I reverted his blanking, and the article comes up fine here. Maybe try refreshing your browser cash. And, btw, please remember to sign any comments you make on talk pages by typing ~~~~ at the end of your comment. Shanes 23:29, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] deleted images

Hi!

When uploading images you have to specify the license you release the image under and the source of that image, i.e. where you found it or if you made it yourself. The upload page is quite clear about this. Wikipedia gets so many unsourced images and images under non-free licenses uploaded that they are routinely deleted when no source or license has been specified for 7 days. This is necessary to keep wikipedia out of legal trouble.

If you shot the image yourself you can release it to the public domain and indicate that by adding the tag {{PD-self}} to the image description page. That should keep it from being deleted. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#For image creators for other tags you might prefer. Hope this helps. Shanes 16:11, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:SelfInstall 175x175.gif

This was the same picture that was on the NewGrass site. The page specifically says, "All rights reserved" on it. Did you take the picture for NewGrass (i.e., a work for hire) or did you sell it to them? If the former, then NewGrass holds the copyright on it, even if you are the photographer. You could always take another picture on your own and then upload it, giving it a free license instead (GFDL or Creative Commons Attribution or Attribution-ShareAlike).
