August 10[edit]

Removal of content for alleged copyright information[edit]

The photograph of Terry Calvani on the wikipedia 13:46, 10 August 2019 (UTC)13:46, 10 August 2019 (UTC)13:46, 10 August 2019 (UTC)~entry for Terry Calvani was removed for alleged copyright infringement. Apparently someone thought that this photograph belonged to a university that used the photograph on one of its webpages. This photograph was the property of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and was used by the social media division of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer public affairs personnel in their revision of the Calvani Wikipedia entry sometime ago. The same photo was provided by Freshfields to others who wanted to use it in faculty bio pages, announcement of programs at which Calvani was to speak, autograph collectors, etc. How can that photograph be reinserted. Thanks you.Jdebusch (talk) 13:46, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The photographer (or the copyright owner to whom the photographer assigned the rights) must upload it to Wikipedia Commons with the correct licence. Permission to use the photograph in various places is not sufficient for Wikipedia. See WP:Upload and Wikipedia:Image use policy for guidance. I see that Cc1982 claims copyright. Is this person the photographer? If the photo appears on a website that claims copyright, then please change that site to acknowledge that it does not own the copyright. What is the connection between you, Cc1982, and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer? Dbfirs 14:05, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In order to use the photo here, the copyright holder (usually the photographer unless the photo was taken as part of a contract where the ownership was assigned) should follow the steps listed at WP:DCM, which involves some private emailing to confirm ownership as well as the free release of the photo under This Free License (which allows anyone anywhere to use, re-use, modify, parody, sell for a profit, or basically any purpose whatsoever). Because the photo is of a living person, policy requires that only free photos can be used. Crow^Caw 21:39, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject X form wizard for WikiProject Socialism[edit]

I need help from an admin to create MediaWiki:Gadget-formWizard/WikiProject Socialism/Join for the form wizard to work properly at WP:SOCIALISM. A working example can be found at MediaWiki:Gadget-formWizard/WikiProject Medicine/Join. I had no idea where to request this, so falling back to the help desk. Thank you! --MarioGom (talk) 22:19, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioGom: If you don't get an admin reply here, you could post an {{edit protected}} at MediaWiki talk:Gadget-formWizard/WikiProject Socialism/Join. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:01, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
