[edit] Image credits

Hi Whileseated,

And thanks for uploading Image:Storefront-holl.jpg. However, on Wikipedia, we place image credits on the image description page. Also, the image needs to be licensed under a free license, such as {{GFDL}} or {{cc-by-sa}} — however, I guess you might want to make sure that whileseated.org is still credited if anyone else uses the image, so {{CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat|www.whileseated.org is credited}} might be the most appropriate (see for example Image:V20001.jpg). You can find more at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. -- Solipsist 20:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for changing the image copyright info for the Floyd Landis image. I'll request that it be put back on the Main Page. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 14:34, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


Hello, Whileseated. I suppose you are the same "Whileseated" at Flickr. Thank you for changing the copyright licence over there so that we can all enjoy this nice picture of yours at Wikipedia. Sorry for all the hassle, but I hope you understand the licensing issues we have at the wiki. Thanks for sharing. Take care. -- PFHLai 17:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

BTW, in future, if you are actually the photographer (I have no idea if you are Mr. Murphy or his fan), you can upload pictures directly to Wikipedia and choose any applicable licences. Instead of saying in the image description that the image came from another website, you can mention that you are the photographer / copyright holder (also mentioning that the same image can be found at other websites would be nice, too.) I am not a lawyer, but this should avoid the appearance of a copyright violation, a common problem here in Wikipedia. This should also avoid trigger-happy admins like me. :-) Hope this helps. Thanks. -- PFHLai 17:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Baisden-and-Sharpton.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Baisden-and-Sharpton.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Baisden-and-Sharpton.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Baisden-and-Sharpton.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 00:09, 4 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ElinorD (talk) 00:09, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jena Six photos

Do you still have a copy of the e-mail from Michael David Murphy, licensing the photos under the Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution license? Videmus Omnia Talk 00:43, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the e-mail response - I changed the license on the photos to make it more clear that you are the copyright holder. Videmus Omnia Talk 04:05, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
