[edit] Image Copyright in a Nutshell

Hi. Once again, I've had to delete all the images you have uploaded. Image copyright is a complex issue and your assertion that "I have this image on my computer and it has no copyright, so i decided to add it to wikipedia to try and expand articles." is incorrect. An image, when it is created, either by a camera or by an image package, instantly becomes the full property of the creator, in the case of these photographs, the photographer, which we know wasn't you. In the case of Land Rover press photographs, the photographer will, as part of his contract, assign copyright to Land Rover Ltd, in the case of other photographs, they may be sold or licenced to individual websites with either the photographer retaining ownership or the website purchasing the rights outright.

Commercial companies and photographers are assumed to have retained all the rights to their photographs unless they stipulate otherwise, these rights include permission to use the image, and what type of use is permitted. It is assumed in law and by us, that images may not be reused for any purpose or used in any way without the full written permission of the copyright holder.

We rely on photographers to licence their work under free licences, a licence which gives Wikimedia the right to publish and modify their work for personal or commercial purposes, normally provided any new image or document is licensed in the same way. Photographers and copyright holders, like the United States Federal Government, can also choose to waive all rights to their images by releasing them to the public domain (http://www.defenselink.mil is a good source of totally free Land Rover SNATCH photos, btw).

We can, if a free image cannot be created, in exceptional circumstances, use, under an obscure section of US copyright policy, copyrighted photographs. This is known as fair use, which exempts an individual or company from prosecution for the use of a photograph in totally unavoidable situations. Typically this extends to album covers, movie posters or clips of films and TV shows, where it's impossible, due to copyright, for a photographer to create a free image. Faithful reproduction of a 2D image generates no new copyright and the image becomes licenced under the same copyright as the original 2D image. In the case of a motor vehicle, such as a Land Rover Defender, it's easy for you or any other contributor to Wikipedia with a digital camera to go out and take a photograph, releasing it under a free licence. 3D objects such as a motor vehicle don't generally qualify for copyright as is, and any image does not fall under the same copyright as the vehicle's design, resulting in the ability to create freely licenceable images.

If you do wish to upload images to Wikipedia, you must photograph the subject yourself and release it under a free licence. A list of licences is displayed in the File upload wizard option to the left. You must not upload any image you did not create yourself unless it comes from a source that explicitly releases it under a free licence, that is a licence which permits Sharing, Modification/Derivative Work and Commercial Use at the minimum.

If you have any further concerns or questions about image copyright, please don't hesitate to contact me. Nick 00:05, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! —Travis C/T\U 14:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Your edit to Roller Pigeon

[edit] Message posted on Monday, June 11, 2007

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Roller Pigeon. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.austinrollers.org/ in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Roller Pigeon with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Roller Pigeon with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Roller Pigeon saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Commercial use of Image:Roller Pig.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Roller Pig.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Roller Pig.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Roller Pig.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 07:49, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:2007_Land_Rover_Defender_Exterior.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:2007_Land_Rover_Defender_Exterior.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 10:22, 29 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 10:22, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image Theft

I've noticed you have once again started uploading other peoples photographs to Wikipedia. This is copyright theft and is illegal, with ramifications for YOU and for Wikimedia. You have been provided with many changes and generous, detailed explanations of what you can and cannot upload to Wikipedia. If you fail to comply with our image copyright policies, you may be blocked from editing, or you could find you are prevented from uploading further files to Wikipedia. Nick 19:15, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
