[edit] The SFU's CASR photos

I've been using that site for about two years now. I don't think I have come across a single image there that was free enough to be uploaded to the wikipedia. I was surprised to recognize the Orca vessel image had been uploaded.

I have a nemesis who criticized me for not putting {copyvio}s on a pair of images someone uploaded to the Carolyn Wood article. One was clearly a copyright photo from the pornographic video "Ilsa, she-wolf of the SS". It was soon deleted. But the other one may have been a screen capture from a television documentary. I believe that kind of image is free enough to be included in the wikipedia.

I don't think I can be held responsible for the uploading of an unfree image, if I didn't upload it myself, just because I put a hint on the uploader's talk page, rather than putting a formal wiki tag on it.

Most of the Canadian Armed Forces images, and Canadian Coast Guard images were uploaded with liscenses that are no longer considered free enough for inclusion in the wikipedia. I spent some time looking for alternative images in the .gov and .mil domains. Those images are generally PD. I found some. They aren't as good as the originals. But we have to abide by the rules, no?

But if the CASR people agreed to release the Orca image, that is a whole different matter. -- Geo Swan 05:39, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

So, did the CASR people agree to release the Orca image? -- Geo Swan 21:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

The answer to your question is: No, CASR never agreed that the artwork of Stephen Priestley could be "exploited in any way by anyone for any purpose...".

Tolivero made a statement that implies that Mr. Priestley has agreed to this far-reaching declaration regarding his copyright. He did not. If asked, he would have gladly given Wikipedia the right to re-publish his artwork for this one specific purpose - a communal, non-profit encyclopedia.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Charnia_wardi.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Charnia_wardi.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] Newfoundland and Labrador WikiProject

There’s now a WikiProject for Newfoundland and Labrador. We hope you’ll join us in making Wikipedia a great source of information about the province and its people. OzLawyer 17:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright problems with Image:Navffh-4.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Navffh-4.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.

[edit] Image:Logo-NFLD.jpg in template:projectnl

It's a nice logo, but as it's fair use, it cannot be included in things like templates. The only place it would likely be usable on Wikipedia would be on the page for Newfoundland and Labrador itself. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 15:24, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Sceptre with the Cross.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sceptre with the Cross.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. --Chowbok ☠ 01:16, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Metrobus logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Metrobus logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tpbmoviesoundtrack.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Tpbmoviesoundtrack.gif. 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.BetacommandBot 04:54, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Bigdirtyband.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Bigdirtyband.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy.

[edit] Counterparts Tour

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Counterparts Tour, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Test For Echo Tour. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 10:44, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Syncrude.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:Rush_PW_group.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rush_PW_group.jpg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". 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. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 19:46, 1 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Swilerslogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Swilerslogo.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.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:BrownU logo.png

Thank you for uploading Image:BrownU logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by an adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. - AWeenieMan (talk) 16:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
