[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Nutri-grain.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Nutri-grain.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}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source 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, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 11:48, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright problems with Image:Borgus-NFS.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Borgus-NFS.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Please note that you cannot claim "PD-self" for something that you did not create.Jusjih 11:56, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:James-kim-techtv.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:James-kim-techtv.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

[edit] VfD on Talk:Beating a dead horse

I'd just like to point out that the voting for the proposal to delete Beating a dead horse was carried out in 2004, and that the list of votes on that article's talk page was copied from the official vote, which was carried out on the VfD page. Therefore, I have removed your 2007 entry, as there was no vote taking place. -- RealGrouchy 23:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nutri-grain.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Nutri-grain.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 17:58, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Borgus-NFS.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Borgus-NFS.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:16, 11 August 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 13:16, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Rugz, you can't release that image into the public domain or license it under GFDL, unless you are yourself the copyright holder. Are you a legal representative of the production firm that owns the image? If not, it remains non-free. You might get it to pass under fair use, but I don't really see in what way a poster page is so essentially relevant for a work of audio that is itself not even part of a visual medium. So please don't expect help from me in wording a fair use rationale; you'll have to come up with a good one yourself, I seriously don't see one right now. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:32, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:James-kim-techtv.jpg

(Response to [1]):

The Jake Gyllenhaal pic is itself borderline, I'd say. But at least it can be understood as illustrating something significant about the artistic performance of the actor in that movie. There's nothing in the Kim image like that: nothing visual in the way Kim appears, about his style, his clothing, his demeanour, his surroundings etc., is crucial for understanding the article. Why do you expect that same rationales should work across different pictures, when the pictures do different things? The whole point about FU rationales is they should be individual, they should point out why this picture in this article is making such a vital contribution.

The only argument I've heard from you in this respect is you wanted the image as proof he really was on TV in this particular role. That's a highly uncommon rationale for using an image - it means using a primary source for proving a point which you really ought to be attributing to a reliable secondary source, per WP:V. Haven't you got such?

There is no separate page explaining criteria specifically for TV screenshots. It's just about interpreting WP:NFCC, basically.

Please don't re-upload the image again. You were told by at least four administrators it can't be used. You got an IfD, you got a deletion review. You wanted the correct process, now please accept the results. I'd have to block you if you uploaded it again.

By the way, we didn't talk further about that other image in Not From Space. If you really are the copyright owner, then the image is fine, but on the other hand it means your whole role in editing this and related articles may be one of self-promotion, which is frowned upon in Wikipedia. Please review our conflict-of-interest guidelines, and be prepared that these articles might have to be subjected to some review. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clear guidelines for non-free screenshots

I would like to reply to your comment about the Donnie Darko screenshot.

The generic text on the screenshot license template is clearly not a justification of the particular use of the image in an article. The text on the template explicitly mentions that a fair use rationale should be added for each use. Also I think that the current non-free content criteria offer a clear guideline for editors in which non-free image are allowed.

My fair use help might give you futher information. – Ilse@ 20:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
