[edit] License tagging for Image:Maizecraze.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Maizecraze.png. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 15:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New articles

Please add a category to your new articles and make sure there are incoming links to them. Otherwise practically no one will ever see them, or improve them. --W.marsh 13:19, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moss

Hi Bongle, So I'm watching the intro to the fourth game of the Stanley Cup final and I wonder if Joey Moss has a Wikipedia article. Turns out you created it three minutes earlier, for the same reason I'm guessing! Outriggr 00:35, 13 June 2006 (UTC) (First goal - yay! Outriggr 00:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Joeymoss.JPG

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Joeymoss.JPG. 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. Rory096 00:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Winlogo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Winlogo.gif. 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.

[edit] License tagging for Image:1995 game.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:1995 game.jpg.

[edit] Your image uploads

Please stop uploading "by permission" images. Wikipedia cannot accept images that are licensed for Wikipedia only or licensed for non-commercial purposes. In order for Wikipedia to use an image, the author must explicitly release it under a "free" license. A "free" license is one that permits anyone to use or modify the image for any purpose, including commercial use, and irrevocably grants unlimited redistribution rights. Please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for a sample letter of permission. --BigDT 16:42, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Before changing the licenses, please get explicit permission from this person to do so. I did look at his message board post before deleting the image and that is not sufficient. The issue is modification and redistribution. In other words, if I say that anyone can use a photo I took, I am not necessarilly granting permission (1) to modify my image and (2) for you to turn around and give that image to a third party. Judging from what he said, more than likely he would be willing to grant that permission, but we can't just make that assumption. A license has to be explicitly stated. If you ask him to email the address given at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission with "permission to license the image under the GFDL", that would be sufficient. --BigDT 17:16, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:2005FRCCover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:2005FRCCover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. MER-C 10:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:2007_FRC_CoverGraphic.jpg

I have tagged Image:2007_FRC_CoverGraphic.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. MER-C 10:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Regionals.JPG

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Regionals.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 {{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. VegitaU 23:21, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

From the license terms, ('You may not use the Software or the geographical information made available for display using the Software, or any prints or screen outputs generated with the Software in any commercial or business environment or for any commercial or business purposes for yourself or any third parties.'), it appears that wikipedia does not fall under the anti-copying rules since it isn't commercial or a business. Although that particular image IS a screenshot of a copyrighted program, Google Earth can easily output an image for emailing around, which it does so without copyright markers or watermarks. In any case, I don't feel like downloading Worldwind and making a new one (maybe you could, since you seem to have the time to find every google earth image on wikipedia), so I guess this article's quality will have to take a hit.

[edit] Merger proposed: Racing fuel cell → Fuel tank

It has been proposed to merge the content of Racing fuel cell into Fuel tank. Since you have previously edited one of these articles, I thought you might be interested. You're welcome to participate in the discussion if you like. --B. Wolterding 08:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:2005FRCCover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:2005FRCCover.jpg. 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 21:32, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Maizecraze.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Maizecraze.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.
