[edit] Successful RfA - Thank you!

Thank you for supporting my recent RfA. It was successful, and I was promoted to Administrator today. I appreciate the support! — KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:10, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WHY?! Image:White Rat BigFatRat.jpg

The image I uploaded was licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license, and is permitted on Wikipedia. You, however, went ahead and removed the license, for no reason, and had it deleted. Not only that, but you went ahead and replaced that image with your own! (Image:Junge_hausratte.jpg) Why? --Mikco (talk) 19:55, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

You didn't copy the license over from Flickr correctly. Besides the Attribution requirement, it also had the NonCommercial and NoDerivatives restrictions. Either one of those two restrictions would be enough to make it unusable on Wikipedia, according to the policy pages I provided in my previous message. The image is not one of mine; I just copied it from the German Wikipedia(and I gave full credit and explained what I had done). I've got no special attachment to the picture; if you find one just as good or better, then replace it.
If you do happen to be the Flickr user, then change the license to remove the NonCommercial and NoDerivatives restrictions; then it can be used on Wikipedia. If you think I've done something wrong to get it deleted, take it to Deletion Review. --Rat at WikiFur (talk) 22:08, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image Problem

Hello. Congradulations on your promotion. Can you help me with a problem I have with an image. I'm following everything I can think of now. Glenn Strange Thanks, Electric Japan (talk) 16:13, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I think you might misunderstand; I'm not an admin. What do you need help with? --Rat at WikiFur (talk) 17:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Can you please help

I am not an expert but I have the passion tot contribute. I have put in hours and hours trying to get these two images right. James Franciscus and adding a smaller picture inside the article on Lon Chaney Jr.. I would hate to see all the hours I spent just thrown away.

Thank you, Electric Japan (talk) 09:25, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I've added your images to those to articles. I don't see any serious violation of fair use policy, but you only need one rationale for each use of the image. Also, don't forget to use the "Show preview" button while you're editing, so you can see what the page will look like before you save it. --Rat at WikiFur (talk) 09:43, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BIG HELP...THANKS!

You just saved me! I thought I was about to just give it all up. Thanks so much. I appreciate the good help you have provided.

[edit] picture copyright

hi rat at wiki fur

i was wondering if you could help me with the image concerns i brought up in the wiki copyright section

RE:hi i was wondering if someone could help me with the copyright of these two images

on www.makedonija.info/language.html there is an "old-style" map under the heading of Macedonian and Neighbouring Languages. It is the second section from the top. 1. Can i upload this image onto wikipedia? 2. What is the copyright?

2.maps.blog.com.mk/ on that website there is a map at the EXTREME bottom of South-eastern europe, can i upload that onto wikipeida? 2. IF not, how else can i get it onto wikipedia? (possibly graphics labs?? please help!

thanx P m kocovski (talk) 06:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

The first says it was published in 1980, which doesn't put it in the public domain. The second also looks new. If you want to try to get the authors to release them, see WP:COPYREQ. If you can't do that, try Wikipedia:WikiProject_Maps --Rat at WikiFur (talk) 07:17, 4 April 2008 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_copyright_help_desk"


i was having trouble with actually registering the images for release could you please assist me with this or connect me with some one working at WP:COPYREQ??? thanx P m kocovski (talk) 07:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't know if I can help you with WP:COPYREQ. The first one is from a commercial book, so they're very unlikely to release it. The second, I can't read any of the page. Try the WikiProject Maps; probably they can redraw the map from the raw data. --Rat at WikiFur (talk) 08:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: copyright question

You said: "all I see is the date, some cameras do that when the picture is taken, nothing that can be done about it now."

Nothing? You can crop it out or Photoshop (or other software brand) it out. It is easy. We can fix it, we have the technology. ~ WikiDon (talk) 23:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
