[edit] Commercial use of Image:Land Council Meeting Fitzroy Crossing 1979 nla.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Land Council Meeting Fitzroy Crossing 1979 nla.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Land Council Meeting Fitzroy Crossing 1979 nla.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Land Council Meeting Fitzroy Crossing 1979 nla.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 03:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Loading luggage, Kingsford Smith Airport 1950s.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Loading luggage, Kingsford Smith Airport 1950s.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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. 07:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Media copyright questions

Hello. In response to your post at the copyright questions page[1], I think the best way to start on an ambitious project of this sort is through official means. You can email the Wikimedia Foundation at info-en-o@wikimedia.org (make sure to include a good summary of your aims in the topic and first sentence). Regarding your specific questions:

  1. Content that is copyrighted (and is not under a free license) may only be used on Wikipedia if it conforms to our Non-free content guideline). The guideline sets forth a number of criteria with which the image and its usage have to comply. Some of the requirements include: the image is not replaceable with a free alternative, there is clear attribution on the image page, and that a fair use rationale be provided on the image page explaining how the image meets the criteria. Images that do not conform to the guideline are eventually deleted.
  2. There are a number of copyright tags for images that are in the public domain, including ones for those that are "out of copyright". You can access the full list of tags at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags.

If you have any further questions, you can check the help page, or you may ask me (and hopefully I'll know how to answer). Best, nadav (talk) 08:09, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NLA links

Hi NLA PIC. The way you have added so many links to the NLA seems to be simply promoting the NLA website, which is usually considered spam, and so the linnks have been removed. I am sure that there are some articles which would benefit from the addition of links according to the external links policy, and so it would be ok to add links (again) in those cases. However, even when a link is validly added, please do not include your signature. Signatures should not appear in article, and are used only for talk pages and other discussions. Thanks, JPD (talk) 14:48, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Hi NLA PIC. I agree with JPD that your contributions should not be signed, and that you should read the external links policy. In some cases I've re-added the links (without your signature), but only where I think it's appropriate (e.g. I didn't re-add the links in the Boxing article - dozens of libraries would have similar content). Think about whether the link makes an important contribution to the article. When placing them, it's best if you place the links below those already present, or at least in order of relevance, and perhaps in the simplified format that I've used. Apart from that, thanks for your contributions! The NLA is a valuable resource, just don't overdo it. - Gobeirne 18:46, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] help

Hi NLA PIC, I saw the request for help on your user page. People are not really very likely to notice such a request. In future, if you need help, you can use the {{helpme}} template. Just type "{{helpme}}" on your user talk page (i.e. this page) then explain your problem underneath it. I have done so below. Hesperian 01:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

{{helpme}} Please see the request for help on this user's user page.

Okay, so you want pictures on the articles? H irohisatTalk Page 02:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Royal Canberra Hospital Implosion.jpg

Hi, I noticed you have said the owner of the work is the NLA in the image description, but the important thing is who owns the copyright - which would be the photographer, in this case James Nomarhas. The NLA mentions their pictures can be copyrighted here. So unless he released the picture under a free licence it cant be used here unless it is under fair use. --Astrokey44 09:43, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

In answer to your comments about who owns the copyright to the photograph which I uploaded to the Royal Canberra Hospital Implosion.........James Nomarhas worked as photographer for the NLA and took these images as part of an assignment. The library owns the works and copyright and Nomarhas is happy for the images to be used anyway.I am working as a volunteer within the Pictures Collection and have access to staff and records connected to copyright issues.NLA PIC 23:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
ok fair enough, just checking. Ive updated the description to make it a little clearer. --Astrokey44 02:54, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Having access to staff and records, does not assign copyright permission.


Permission to use under copyright, assigns permission to use.

Volunteer or even salaried status at the NLA, does not conjure up authority to give permission to use images.

Sometimes volunteers imagine they have more authority than they are ever likely to be granted.

Can you put your legal name here and I will check with my NLA contacts if you do have authority to assign copyright on their behalf. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joyen (talkcontribs)

Mssage for Joyen

My name is Linda Groom and I am the Curator of Pictures at the National Library of Australia. Tina Jenner, a Library volunteer, has passed on your message to me. I fully support the efforts of Wikipedia editors to ensure that copyright has been cleared on any images loaded to Wikipedia.

I have the authority to authorise reproduction of images held in the Library's Pictures Collection, in three situations: (1) where those images are out of copyright or (2) the copyright is owned by the National Library or (3) the copyright owner has given the Library permission in writing to authorise re-use.

Tina Jenner has access to all our records which document cases in which creators have licenced the Library to permit re-use of works in the Library's Pictures Collection. In addition, she checks with me or my deputy Sylvia Carr, before submitting any image to Wikipedia, that there are no copyright constraints on that image.

In the case of the images of the Canberra Hospital implosion, I am happy to confirm that James Nomarhas took those images while employed as a salaried photographer by the National Library. Under Australian copyright law, copyright in images taken by salaried employees rests with the employer.

If you would like to verify any of this with me directly, please don't hesitate to contact me (lgroom@nla.gov.au or + 61 2 6262 1395)

[edit] Copyright

Permissions & Copyright Images in the NLA database may be saved or printed for research and study. If you wish to use them for any other purpose, you must complete the Request for Permission form.

If you wish to reproduce a picture in a book, assignment, website, merchandise (e.g. calendar), film or in any other format you will need written permission from the Library to do so. Requests for permission to either publish material or include it in a film or video may be made by completing and forwarding an application form to the Library. Forms are available by either contacting us or by downloading the appropriate form from this web site. Forms are available in Word, PDF and RTF (Rich Text Format).

If the image is still in copyright, you must also request clearance from the copyright holder before you can reproduce the image. The National Library must receive the copyright clearance in print format (e.g. letter or fax) before we can supply a photograph of the item to you.

The National Library does not normally charge fees for permission to publish; fees are only charged in rare circumstances, such as the reproduction of an entire facsimile edition.

Pictures Branch staff will be happy to assist you in determining the copyright status as well as finding the name and contact details of a copyright contact if the information is available in our files. For more information, please contact the National Library's Pictures Branch. If the copyright holder is unknown please complete an indemnity form.

Copyright Law The copyright law is very complex and constantly evolving. The information in this document is provided as guidance only and does not constitute expert or legal advice. If in doubt, always assume that a work is in copyright and seek legal advice before reproducing it.

A proportion of the works available online in the Pictures Catalogue are in copyright and thus protected by the Copyright Act of the Commonwealth of Australia or by international copyright conventions.

The Copyright Act is applicable if a work was created or first published in Australia or if the copyright owner was an Australian resident or a person resident in Australia at the time of creation. Works created overseas are protected by international copyright agreements of which Australia is part. The information supplied in this document applies to Australian materials. Copyright protection may differ in other countries.

A recent guide to Australian copyright law is available from the University of Melbourne's Centre for Media and Communication Law . Follow the link to Guidelines for Digitisation. Although this guide is targeted at institutions that wish to make digital copies, it is an excellent plain-English guide to all copying of library materials.

[edit] NLA

Please do not upload images to wikipedia from the NLA that were published ater 1955 - these images are still copyrighted and cannot appear on wikipedia due to their status as non-free media. --Peta 11:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Also any images {{PD-Australia}} before 1955 need to have the following template added to the image page {{PD-Australia}}. --Peta 11:28, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
