[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Indonesia home garden.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Indonesia home garden.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. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 13:43, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Rtdury, thanks for the response. Sorry, but I have reverted the image for now. I thought you would be well awre with previous copyright information. So I noticed you for providing copyright information. But now, it seems that you are not well aware with previous copyright information. You can not do anything with media without knowing the copyright information. Wikimedia does not want to gain any kind of benefit. Its ultimate goal is to distribute the information worldwide. For this, copyrighted media can not be granted without copyright holder's permission. Yes, I do agree with you that some small websites do not have their resources, but they have their different policy. Please prefer policies and copyrights. If you are not satisfied with any kind of policy please suggest on their talk pages. Thank you again for your kind suggestions. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 12:36, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Cob interiorwall.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cob interiorwall.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. 09:04, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
