Image Licence Help[edit]

copied from User talk:Lommer

Hi Lommer, I need a hand working out which licence to use for an image. Could you give me some advice? The image appears on a website which has no copywrite notices, but in addition I have obtained the person's permission to use his pic. Thanks in advance and sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place! Baby Jenga 6 December 2005

Thanks for asking! I assume website owner owns the copyright to the pic? If so, then he can release it in a number of ways that are suitable for wikipedia; Public domain is one possibility, but many authors don't like this because it means they relinquish all rights to their work. The other popular licences are the GFDL and the Creative Commons Licenses (Note that some, but not all creative commons licenses are acceptable for wikipedia). There are a few other possibilities, but merely releasing the image to the wikimedia foundation (the people who own wikipedia) is not sufficient, as they demand that others be able to use the image too. How to choose? I usually use the GFDL for images I upload, because it retains attribution for your work but is otherwise pretty open. There's a lot to know about licences, but those three options (Public Domain, GFDL, and Creative Commons) are fairly clear-cut. I'd steer clear of fair use claims, as they're legally murky and uncertain. This is really brief, and probably confusing, but there's a longer explanation at Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ. Let me know if you have further questions. -User:Lommer | ^talk 19:21, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Dboome.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 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.

Image Tagging Image:DSC00395.JPG[edit]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:DSC00395.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Rossrs 23:23, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Essay mills[edit]

Please note that, aside from being unwilling or unable to do it yourself, there is no reason to use the services of an essay mill. Also note that the purpose of an essay mill is to facilitate fraud: customers are expected to lie about the provenance of essay mill purchases. Therefore, the inclusion of "dishonestly" is, in fact, NPOV. DS 16:46, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spam[edit]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Loughborough University. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --Steve _(Slf67)^talk 01:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue spamming Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:20, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PROD warning[edit]

Proposed deletion of Isabelle Dinoire[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Isabelle Dinoire, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Does not meet BLP standard for notability, i.e. person known only for one event. See WP:BLP1E and WP:BIO1E

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Age Happens (talk) 04:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional links[edit]

Just letting you know, I have removed the external links from your user page, as they are considered promotional and not relevant to the Wikipedia project. See Wikipedia:User pages, specifically the section WP:UP#PROMO for more information about what constitutes acceptable use of a user page. Thanks. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:01, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Cornelis-Wiss.JPG[edit]

The file File:Cornelis-Wiss.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:02, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
