[edit] License tagging for Image:CraigieHouse.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CraigieHouse.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. 12:05, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Something to keep in mind: Images that you create and upload need to be under a free license, such as the GFDL or an acceptable Creative Commons license. Images that are under a license of "Wikipedia can use it, everyone else needs to ask permission" are not acceptable. --Carnildo 17:36, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

  • This is a really spectacular image; it would be a pity to lose it! With the proper tag it would do well at the top of the Tay Rail Bridge article, where your Tay2.jpg now rests. --Moonraker88 22:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Images

Like your pictures but I notice the copyright status on some is ambiguous. You can upload copyrighted pictures to Wikipedia but they must be released appropriately. GFDL is fine and you retain the rights to any higher res version you have not released. See Wikipedia:Copyrights for details. You should also try to fit the images appropriately in the article. Separate image galleries are also appropriate for geographical regions in some cases and this could be appropriate for some of the images. Otherwise other editors may just revert your changes as I think you have noticed. When in doubt you can discuss on talk pages first. Hope this is of help. Citizensmith 14:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:GlasgowArc1.jpg

This image's summary is as follows "(c) Paul Russell 2006 For use/hires file contact paulrussellhndtv@yahoo.co.uk", but the licence you have selected is Public domain. You can't own the copyright on something in the public domain, so I assume you have tagged this image incorrectly. This image is not used on any articles anyway, so it is not a huge issue. bruce89 18:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Wide7b.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Wide7b.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.--feydey 16:56, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
