[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:FaithBW.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:FaithBW.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. — Carl (CBM · talk) 16:28, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of the license tags. My lingering concern about this image is that it is used in the article primarily to illustrate Faith Page, but WP:NFC states that nonfree photos of living people used only for identification are usually regarded as replaceable. — Carl (CBM · talk) 19:15, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your concerns

Hi, thanks for getting back to me on this. I shall check with the artist and see if she will agree to release this photo to the public domain. Thanks... Jack

I noticed the license was changed to GFDL, which is a free license. That's great! I guess that means you were successful in getting a copyright permission from the photographer. — Carl (CBM · talk) 22:15, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Carl, Thanks for your help. Yes, she released the page and the photo, and I sent a copy of her release to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:FaithBW.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:FaithBW.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 13:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
