File permission problem with File:Car crushing machine being operated in St. Louis, MO.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Car crushing machine being operated in St. Louis, MO.jpg, which you've attributed to http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news--general-news/record-number-of-uninsured-vehicles-crushed/1884.html. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

No one at the above-mentioned URL requested permission to use it. I DID NOT attribute the file to the above URL. I am the creator of both files. Visordown did not request permission from me to use it. (4-12-13, I have modified the permission at Flickr.)

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 20:40, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File permission:Car exiting crusher.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Car exiting crusher.jpg, which you've attributed to https://secure.flickr.com/photos/86695949@N00/81151885/.

The creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license, and has annotated it as such at the above URL. This photo was not used by visordown, and was not subject to the same confusion-of-ownership as the other photo (which was resolved, but both photos deleted by Wiki anyway).

I am the creator of this file, and I hereby release it into the public domain, and give permission for it's use on Wikipedia. I have added that permission at the original URL on Flickr: https://secure.flickr.com/photos/86695949@N00/81151885/ Please visit that URL to view the updated permission.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; (done) or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

Car crushing images[edit]

Hi Wilke339. I have deleted the two car crushing images. When items are released under license to Wikipedia, they must be freely available for use by anyone. Thus these files are not acceptable, because they have the stipulation that visordown.com does not have permission to use them. -- Dianna (talk) 14:41, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, only one photo had been stipulated that visordown did not have permission to use it, the other one was never in question. But public domain permissions have since been installed on both photos at Flickr. I am the creator of both photos and have released them in to the public domain. I stated previously that visordown did not have specific consent to use one of the images. Meaning they never asked for it. The photos are both now public domain, it is ok for visordown or anyone else to use them.

A Partial List of Contributions:[edit]

I may want to remember or reference these edits in the future. For a list of all my Wikipedia edits, see my contributions page.

  • Oldsmobile Cutlass: Contributed photo of 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible. Made minor additions and corrections to text, mostly concerning specific information regarding 1970, 1971, and 1972 model years.
  • Conservation and restoration of automobiles: Added "before and after" photograph of above-mentioned car, and additional details regarding auto restoration to the text.
  • Car crusher: Contributed photos currently shown as #2 and #3 ("a Ford van being crushed..., and "a blue 1990s Lincoln Town Car", and minor edits to the text.
  • Demolition Derby: Added information about the "Crush, Texas" event of 1896, (which has since been edited beyond recognition by others).
  • Merchants Bridge: Created and uploaded photograph of the Merchants Bridge.
  • National Register of Historic Places listings in St. Louis County, Missouri: Created and uploaded photograph of the Fairfax House (Rock Hill, Missouri).
  • Hardtop, Talk:Hardtop: Added the first photo which clearly demonstrated the difference between four door "hardtop" and four door "sedan" automotive body styles, but it has since been replaced with someone else's less-clear photo, and multiple, repetitive and redundant photos of other hardtop cars.

Partial List of other pages on which I've made very minor edits:[edit]

A cursory inspection of the Wikipedia "Picture of the Day" archives reveals editor(s)' preferences for the same repetitive styles, historical figures, architecture, birds or insects and not much else.

Notification of automated file description generation[edit]

Your upload of File:4doorSEDAN-and-4doorHARDTOP.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 19:56, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Thank you. Another user has since uploaded several more photos to replace mine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:C0A7:5D20:E1BF:5F93:CCAF:CB3D (talk) 01:03, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:St. Louis Arena 1935 program.jpg[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:St. Louis Arena 1935 program.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Thanks again for your cooperation. Stefan2 (talk) 12:41, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Meet St. Louis area Wikipedians this Sunday[edit]

Hello! This coming Sunday, July 10th, a group of local Wikipedia contributors are getting together for the 2016 St. Louis Wiknic at Laumeier Sculpture Park. It's a low-key social event to chat with other Wikipedians. Grab a dish (or not, that's cool too) and join us! 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/St._Louis/Wiknic/2016

If you know other folks in the area who might be interested, feel free to pass this along. We're hoping to gather an active and diverse local community of wiki editors.

Hope to see you there! —Verbistheword (talk) 17:15, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
