[edit] License tagging for Image:Seth3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Seth3.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. 20:11, 28 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Seth3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Seth3.jpg. 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. Sue Anne 19:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Sethpubphoto.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sethpubphoto.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 00:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 00:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I have updated the copyright information. Please let me know if it is complete now. Jheditorials 03:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC)jheditorials

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:New-seth-pic.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:New-seth-pic.jpg. 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] Image:SethPubPhoto.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SethPubPhoto.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 {{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 48 hours after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Donald Albury 03:02, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I have added a link to the Seth Swirsky's Myspace.com page where this image is used as a promotional image: http://www.myspace.com/9691056. I have also added this information to the image licensing and talk pages. Please let me know if this does not solve the matter. Thank you.

I've commented on the image talk page. -- Donald Albury 21:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I have asked for help on how to label the above picture on the Media Copyright Questions page. I am currently waiting for an answer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions#Seth_Swirsky Jheditorials 14:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)jheditorials

I've responded at the image's talk page. I've also tagged Image:With-George-martin.jpg for the same reason. ShadowHalo 14:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
I have responded on ShadowHalo's talk page with more questions. Jheditorials 15:00, 9 February 2007 (UTC)jheditorials
It sounds like you might misunderstand what "free" means in this context. By "free", I mean that the picture can be copied, distributed, and modified for noncommercial or for commercial use, not that someone doesn't have to pay to see the image. For more information about the difference, there's an article at Gratis versus Libre. Unless it's explicitly stated otherwise, pictures are automatically copyrighted and unfree since the photographers retain copyright over the images. Although you may not live in California, there are a couple ways to get around this. If Swirsky has some form of contact, you can request that he release one or more pictures freely by modifying one of the requests at Wikipedia:Example requests for permission. If he declines, it may also be a good idea to put a picture request template on his article's talk page (just let me know and I can add it for you) and add his name to Wikipedia:Requested pictures#People. Since there are Wikipedians in California, someone can hopefully take a picture of him the next time he makes a public appearance. ShadowHalo 02:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice. I have sent Mr. Swirsky a copyright request form that I got from the page that you suggested. He has sent it back in agreement and I have reuploaded these two files With-George-martin-with-copyright.jpg and SethPubPhotowithcopyrightinfo.jpg with the copyright request form information. I have also sent this permission to "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org" so that it can be permanently archived. Jheditorials 19:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)jheditorials

[edit] Seth Swirsky article

What I said on Talk:Seth Swirsky a few hours ago was true: I had never heard of him before today. I'm a participant in the Wikipedia:Third opinion project, and when I saw the article come up on the history there it was my first sight of the name.

His Real Clear Politics article, "Why I Left The Left," really rang some bells for me. If Swirsky's political perspective interests you, you might like to have a look at two other articles with similar themes:

I'm enjoying learning about Swirsky and his views—very interesting person, a unique combination of characteristics, interests and talents. Thanks from one Wikipedian for devoting so much effort to getting the Seth Swirsky article off to a good start! — Athænara ✉ 10:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] JoshHolmesPromotionalPhoto.jpg

I have tagged Image:JoshHolmesPromotionalPhoto.jpg as {{replaceable fair use}}. If you wish to dispute this assertion, please add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}} to the image description page and a comment explaining your reasoning to the the image talk page.

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:Dan Vaillancourt - Melodic Snapshots Album Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dan Vaillancourt - Melodic Snapshots Album Cover.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 18:27, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Melodic snapshots 2.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Melodic snapshots 2.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 19:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I have fixed this and the correct tag is now on the image. Jheditorials 19:41, 2 October 2007 (UTC)jheditorials

[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Live funktified 2.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Live funktified.jpg. The copy called Image:Live funktified.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 20:01, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
