Hi Heiko,

I hope you're not too discouraged by my terse nature in edit summaries, but to be honest, I've probably reverted about 30 copyright violations and this is the only one that has actually created an issue. Also, it wasn't just the occasional phrase that was copied in this particular case, but rather 50% of the article was copied and this formed about 90% of the edit. If you didn't have permission, this is a breach of Australian and United States copyright law.

Since it appears that you may have permission for use and in that case I do apologise for reverting the article initially. I've rewritten the article to try and integrate the two components into the one piece of prose rather than for it to skip from one bit to the other so suddenly. By the way, "Avoid Copyright Paranoia" is a hotly debated topic and is far from policy and I consider myself quite firmly on the "paranoia" side. A simple reversion is usually the standard for copyvios, especially in such cases where the entire contents of an edit seem to be a violation of copyright, especially when this copyright is clearly established in the case of a Commonwealth Government webpage. - Aaron Hill 13:47, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Lone pine memorial.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Lone pine memorial.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. cohesion★talk 07:12, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Dear Cohesion, the picture at article ANZAC Day Image:Lone pine memorial.jpg was taken with my own Camera and i was the photographer. I included my info at the image upload and wondering today why it got deleted ? Anyway..
The above paragraphs explain the system, there was no information at the page about the source as far as I can tell, the page has since been deleted and I can't say I remember that particular image out of thousands. When the image is tagged as having no source the uploader is notified and then a week later someone else will usually review it and delete the image. This is what has occurred. It was deleted on Jan 30th. You are free to re-upload it if you would like, be sure to mention the source and the copyright information. If you have any other questions let me know. - cohesiont 01:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Last anzac 01.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.
