[edit] License tagging for Image:Johannesburgarms.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Johannesburgarms.JPG. 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. 11:05, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photos

I there. Please could you re-upload your photos of the Zimbabwean politicians but make sure you add the following:

{{Non-free fair use in|Josiah Gumede}} {{Non-free media rationale |Article= Josiah Gumede |Description= Josiah Gumede |Source= Government of Zimbabwe Rhodesia |Portion= |Low_resolution= yes |Purpose= show his likeness, official photo |Replaceability= no he is dead |other_information= }}

so as to prevent them from being deleted. Naturally, amending the name to the relevant image. Thanks Mangwanani (talk) 16:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

As I say, if you upload the images again using the above template which should look like this on the image page:
Copyrighted This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Josiah Gumede" :
  • To illustrate the subject in question
  • Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
  • On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([1]),

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.
Non-free / fair use media rationale for Josiah Gumede
Description

Josiah Gumede
Source

Government of Zimbabwe Rhodesia
Article

Josiah Gumede
Portion used
Low resolution?

yes
Purpose of use

show his likeness, official photo
Replaceable?

no he is dead

then they will be safe from deletion. If you took the images yourself then I wonder whether you could claim copyright for them or if the copyright belongs to the Govt.s of the relevant countries... Mangwanani (talk) 11:14, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FOTW

Hi again. Please do not upload images from Flags of the World. I spent ages doing so for them to be deleted. They are explicitely not allowed on the Wiki. You could place a request here for the said images to be vectorised (just provide a link for the image you require) and then they will be allowed but not as they stand. Just a warning... Mangwanani (talk) 13:18, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Jhb Arms.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Jhb Arms.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:Rhodesia

Hi, Flagmanbruce, and welcome to WikiProject
Rhodesia!

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles relevant to Rhodesia. Here are some points that may be helpful:

  • Our main aim is to help improve Rhodesia-related articles, so if people ask for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
  • Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
  • The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as the current collaboration, which you are welcome to participate.
  • If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign Rhodesia topics.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

Again, welcome! We hope you enjoy working on this project.
