[edit] Copywrited material

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Digital photography, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. For more information about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, take a look at our Five Pillars. Happy editing! --Dinosaurdarrell 23:02, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Unfortunately, I'm afriad that the material found at Digital photography/Temp is still fairly derivative of the article at about.com ([1]), please leave the content at /Temp for the time being and hopefully it will be modified enough to make it acceptable under GFDL standards --Dinosaurdarrell 20:08, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Bus-Topology.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Bus-Topology.gif. 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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. --OrphanBot 07:34, 21 January 2006 (UTC)


If you would care to look above, you would notice that I had explicitly mentioned that it was cropped from a picture on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:NetworkTopologies.png), which is in Public Domain (it is mentioned on the image page). The original picture contains all the topologies together, and to improve content, I cropped each topology and added content to the various topology pages. I think things couldn't get more obvious than this..

[edit] But this is ridiculous..

This bot tagged the image uploaded by me, which was cropped from an image on Wikipedia which explicitly mentions that it has been released into the public domain. Infact I have been tagged for not mentioning my source, which is ridiculous since 3 lines above that nasty notice is a mention of where I got my image from. (My Image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bus-Topology.gif)

You're right. The bot can't read the note of "I found it at this URL". But it can read the {{somewebsite}} tag you put on the image description page just fine, and based on that tag and the age of the picture, it decided that the picture needed to be removed from the article. In order to be used on Wikipedia, an image needs both a source and a copyright status, and you only provided the source. --Carnildo 02:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
