Image copyright problem with Image:Sears-tower-panoramic-night-bob-horsch.jpg[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Sears-tower-panoramic-night-bob-horsch.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 07:22, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spam[edit]

It's evident from you contributions list [1] that your primary purpose is to sell your products and promote your website. That's considered "spam" and is against the rules. I have rolled back your changes. Kindly cease those activities. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 08:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ownership?[edit]

Hi and welcome. I notice that you are referring to a web site which features photographs by Bob Horsch but your username indicates you are J. Horsch. Are you perhaps one of his children, Jeff or Jenny? Regardless, if you are not the actual photographer, we will need some assurance that the actual photographer agrees to a free license which agrees to free redistribution of the photographs (with attribution), even for commercial purposes. You can respond here if you'd like or you can contact Wikipedia off-line. Thank you. —Wknight94 (talk) 11:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

--Response--

Hi, I am the son of the owner, Bob Horsch. He has taken all these photos and has given permission to license the images free. I noticed however that some other user has decided that my sole intention was to drive visitors to our website. That is incorrect. If you look at the photos I have posted, the are far better than most of the images that depict each topic.

Someone has delted all my postings and I would like to find out how this can be changed. This was their message about me spamming.

If you would like me to not refer to my dads site that is fine, but I thought it was right to at least note who owned the image(hence put bob-horsch in file name and refer to the site on the individual image page. Jhorsch (talk) 19:41, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would recommend to go ahead and restore the pictures that seem appropriate, i.e. without the matte and border. And crop and re-upload the ones that had a matte and border if you'd like to. And I think you left a couple images untagged with any license so go ahead and tag those as you see fit. In the meantime, I'll probably ask for clarification that my suggestions are reasonable. I'm a volunteer here - like most everyone else - and am not a lawyer by trade so I don't want to lead you down the wrong path. Like I said, your father's name - and I suppose web site - will be attached to the images wherever they go but they can be used and modified by anyone freely once you tag them with a Creative Commons or GFDL license. Again, that's an amateur talking. Thank you for your contributions! :) —Wknight94 (talk) 21:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with what Wknight94 says, and I would add that the place to put that link is on the image page itself, not in the article. That way you avoid the appearance of spamming. And as Wknight94 said, if you grant the license to it, anybody can grab it. You have to ask yourself if you're willing to "give it away". Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 21:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct me if im wrong but I originally put the links only on the image page. I didnt have links on the main page, except for a few cases in the reference section to view more photos of whatever the context was. Anyhow, thank you both for getting back to me. Will I have to re-upload every image or is there something you can do to reverse what you have deleted? Jhorsch (talk) 04:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and created an account for my dad under the user name Bob Horsch. This should solve those issues regarding his own work. Jhorsch (talk) 05:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Check each image and fix whatever problems are tagged. It doesn't matter what your logon is, it only matters that the source and licensing be clear. Creating a new user doesn't affect that. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 09:47, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If the image is the resolution you'd like and doesn't include the frame, etc., you don't need to re-upload. For the images you want to re-upload, you can go to the image page and click on the "Upload a new version of this file" link. Don't be offended if any of your images get deleted. Specifically, I see your Sears Tower image, while a very nice picture, is of a very low resolution - only 71 kilobytes. If you look at commons:Category:Sears Tower, you'll see we have a plethora of Sears Tower pictures, several of which are 500 kilobytes. You will want to upload as large a resolution as possible. If you need assistance, you can also place a {{helpme}} tag here. —Wknight94 (talk) 11:47, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Bob-horsch-gallery.JPG[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Bob-horsch-gallery.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 09:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:1683-wrigley-field-first-night-game-pictures-photos-framed.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:1683-wrigley-field-first-night-game-pictures-photos-framed.jpg.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4.
