If you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), this must be verified by having the copyright holder do one of the following:

  • Make a note on the original website that re-use is permitted under the GFDL and state at Talk:ServersCheck where we can find that note; or
  • Send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Serverscheck screenshot.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Serverscheck screenshot.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify 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 file 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ➨ ЯEDVERS 10:01, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Both images are marked with a tag as well as the text itself - see GDFL note on reference url Golfieke 22:11, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Redvers please read the copyright notice posted by Centrx, another editor. Screenshots and pictures are made available under GFDL. He did post a note about it to the page. I don't understand what is going on. The tags are there but for some reason: editor one is happy with GFDL and you are not... Who is right? Golfieke 14:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Who's right? Me, I'm afraid. These images were tagged as both GDFL and copyright-fair-use. They can't be both. You must choose one. Because there is no evidence of release under the GDFL by the copyright owner (one can be provided on Image talk:Serverscheck sensor.jpg for instance) then it is safe to assume they are copyright images.
However, in this case the problem is not the copyright (per se). If you look at the above standard messages, you'll see that they are asking for a source to be provided. Where do the images come from? A website (give the URL)? A person at the company (give the name)? Yourself (say so)? Source and copyright details are both required. Please re-read the above messages and supply the requested information. Thanks! ➨ ЯEDVERS 16:07, 25 September 2006 (UTC)


Have you checked the URL where there is the explicit GFDL authorization from ServersCheck as specified by Centrx? It clearly stipulates the sensor picture: http://www.serverscheck.com/network-monitorig-tool.asp Golfieke 23:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
