hi Goncalves67, I saw your message you left at Redwolf talk page, allow me to answer it as I know he's quite busy.

I encourage you to get familiar with Wikipedia's policy about Copyright of images. We cannot use images which are copyrighted unless we have explicit permission from the owner to display it. I assume you took a picture from the official website of the Danish monarchy? Your efforts are admirable, but please be aware that Wikipedia has strict copyright rules regarding images. Is the image a public domain, fair use, copyrighted, etc.? For further information on copyright rules you can look up Copyright and Licensing in the Wikipedia Commons [1]. If you have further questions, you can also ask me. with kind regards...

Hi there. Please you really don't have to apologise to me for help, this really goes without saying. Ask me anytime you want. Yes, the way I understand it is, if you scan an image, you would have to get permission first from the person who took that photo, if you are allowed to put it into Wikipedia. If it is from a magazine, best to contact them per email, etc. and tell them your plans. You are allowed to scan images (like old postcards) if the person who took that photo is dead since 70 years. (I think this is the correct policy, I could be wrong). Or for example, if you want to post a foto of the Mona Lisa, you can do it if you yourself took that picture. However if you use an internet source or scanned it from a book or magazine, you would still have to say from where you got it, because the copyright applies not necessarily to the object itself but to the photographer.

in the case of Her Highness, you can either post pictures that you yourself took (if you ever had the luck of meeting or seeing her personally). If you want to use an image from a website, for example the homepage of the Danish Monarchy, you have to ask them first for explicit permission. Sometimes owners are very generous and say, as long as you say it's copyrighted from them, you may post it. I would say that would be your best bet. To scan an image from a magazine could be more tricky, since you would have to ask the owner of that picture for permission. Again, I recommend you to read through the [2] Wikimedia Commons Licensing to answer your questions and here Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ. Once you have an image and uploaded it, you need to put in all the relevant information and the copyright status. I hope this helped a little bit, feel free to keep on asking if you are still unsure... Gryffindor

Image copyright problem with Image:Princess Alexandra Christina, Countess of Frederiskborg.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Princess Alexandra Christina, Countess of Frederiskborg.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 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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. — THOR ^=/\= 13:20, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
