[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. You may want to take a look at the welcome page, tutorial, and stylebook, avoiding common mistakes and Wikipedia is not pages.

I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers such as yourself:

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Beatrice kay.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Beatrice kay.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. -- Longhair 13:09, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beatrice Kay

Feel free to upload the images again and ask me for assistance. Do you know the origins of the photographs, like who took them? -- Longhair 06:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC) Thank you. I will have to wait until I am at my home computer and remember to upload again. I wish I could tell you who took the photographs. I am usually sensitive to credit and would give it where due. I feel that, in the spirit of honoring the subjects, the photos should appear. Since I own them because the photographs were given to my grandmother personally by the owners, I think it safe to assume that the actors themselves owned the rights to the photographs at one time. They are long dead and, even if the pictures were once copyrighted, it is likely they would have expired by now without being renewed. If it makes it safer for Wikipedia, I could just say that I own the photographs and take the heat if someone from the respective estates objects.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hollywood_bookstore_slip.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hollywood_bookstore_slip.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 ensure 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 non-free media 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. Rettetast 16:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Hapsburg horse opera.w.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hapsburg horse opera.w.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:49, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
