License tagging for Image:Lightship nantucket color.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Lightship nantucket color.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:09, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Byron

The images you are adding to the Byron Nuclear Generating Station appear to be copyright violations. I couldn't find anything that said the files were licensed under CC-2.5. I only found this copyright notice: "All images on this site are copyrighted and may not be used without written permission". (As well as this general notice.) If you are the author, please include a notice on the website source that states these files are released under the terms of the license used here. Otherwise, they will probably get deleted. They are truly awesome photos so I hope you can add that notice to the source images. IvoShandor 12:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Also I had tagged this image,Image:Byron nuclear generating station exelon.jpg for speedy deletion, but I put a hold on that because I think you might be willing to clear up the copyright confusion. I would recommend GFDL licensing because it is much less likely that a company would use an image licensed under the GFDL for their commercial purposes because the license requires that they release their use of it under the same free license, highly unlikely any company would want to do this. Note that licenses which restrict commercial use are not allowed on Wikimedia projects. IvoShandor 12:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Basically, I meant no offense by removing your photo, and tagging it. If you are the author, I am only trying to protect your rights under copyright. IvoShandor 12:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

The Flickr license still says "All rights reserved" which precludes commercial use and isn't acceptable on Wikipedia. Please change the license to acceptable terms. If it isn't changed the images will have to be deleted. Thanks Sacredhands. : ) IvoShandor 13:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Nice job on filling out this page. Lots of interesting information. Not sure if the panorama is too big, but it looks better big. Sacredhands

(edit conflict)It might be a bit large, but panoramas can generally be larger than most images. Not sure if the section placement is appropriate, hope you won't be offended if I end up moving it around and maybe shrinking it just a bit. I have undertaken an expansion of the article that isn't completely finished so there may be a better spot for it when all is said and done. Thanks again for your contributions and attention to this copyright matter. It is greatly appreciated by me, and the rest of the community (as well as the countless throngs of readers around here). After edit conflict comment: Thanks for the compliment! : ) IvoShandor 13:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I had a feeling this might happen, you have changed the flickr license to "Attribution-NonCommercial 2.0," while a CC license it isn't acceptable here because of the non-commercial clause. Examples of acceptable licenses include the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 and the GFDL. Sorry this is such a hassle, but its part of the mission, a free, as in libre, content encyclopedia. IvoShandor 13:24, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Changed Flickr setting to Attribution Creative Commons for both images. Sacredhands

Awesome man. The only thing I see, which probably isn't a huge deal, is that the license here still says 2.5 and your Flickr license (which is totally fine now) says 2.0. And for your efforts, don't know if you are in to these are not but you jumped through all the copyright hoops this morning and took what I think are some pretty nice photos, so:

		The Photographer's Barnstar
		I IvoShandor bestow upon Sacredhands this Photographer's Barnstar for most excellent photos of Byron Nuclear Generating Station, as well as jumping through all the appropriate hoops to ensure the images met up with Wikipedia's image use policies. Thanks again. IvoShandor 13:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I am going to alert the admin board to your actions, which seem geared toward self-promotion. You also violated the 3RR rule on this page. --David Shankbone 13:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, if anyone is going to take you task, it should be me. You can check out my own user page. --David Shankbone 13:33, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

• I have reverted the article to use the free image. This is not a difficult choice for a free encyclopedia. Of course if you wish to remove the stipulations from your photographs, we can re-consider the photos on their own merit. ELIMINATORJR 14:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

free over quality does not make for a quality wikipedia. this is really about david wanting to be the first image. If it means that much to him, I'm happy to put my second. quality will win out every time.Sacredhands 15:00, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

No, it's about freedom, although the "wanting to be the first image" argument rings of WP:KETTLE calling the pot black. I also think my image is, frankly, better than yours. I notice an IP address from Springfield, Massachusetts reverted EliminatorJR. --David Shankbone 15:02, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

When self-interested opinion gets in the way of aesthetic the world suffers.Sacredhands 15:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

How are you immune from any of the criticisms you lodge? I have hundreds of notable photographs, and I don't require my byline on any of them. Unlike you, I actually meet the people in their homes and offices, which is a far greater investment of time and editing. I'm well known on this site, and you sound silly saying such things. --David Shankbone 15:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Get over the byline issue. It's a non-issue. Creative Commons allows anyone to set the terms of their licensing. The fact that you embed your name in the image title and put your name in the summary is your choice. The fact that I choose to be credited beneath the photo is my choice. Looking at Ana's backside is not a flattering portrait of her. It's voyeuristic and clearly represents a male point of view that feminist's have made an effort to eliminate from society. Again, that's your choice if you think that represents her best interest. I disagree. Sacredhands 15:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

This is my opinion of how your conditions interact with Wikipedia image use policy. Conditon 1 is acceptable as long as the link is on the image decription page; it should not be on every page the image is used (no credits in captions, see Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#User-created_images). Conditon 2 is not acceptable per Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#User-created_images. Condition 3 is a courtesy; however since you are uploading your own photos, you can check "what links here" any time you want. Condition 4 is not acceptable, in my opinion, because we have no control over how a freely-licensed photo may be used 6 months from now; making written notification a requirement rather than a courtesy creates too great a likelihood that your images will be used in a manner that contradicts the license and therefore makes them unfree. In summary, I believe your images can not be considered "freely licensed" unless you modify your license requirements, and as unfree, they are subject to the normal rules on use of unfree copyrighted images (deletion when orphaned, fair use justification required, etc.) Thatcher131 15:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Use of photos found on Wikipedia exist under two conditions: 1. there are used within the Wikipedia site or 2. they are used outside the Wikipedia site. For those instances where the images are used outside the site, then the caption "Photograph by ..." seems totally appropriate. This has been the standard way of crediting photographs for years. What is acceptable under Creative Commons Attribution versus its use under Wikipedia ALONE is at issue for me. Sacredhands 16:06, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

What you don't understand is that images on Wikipedia must be usable on mirrors and forks. Therefore condition 4 is not acceptable. It is our choice to not be willing to credit authors in image captions (which makes us unable to use your image, per CC-A). Keep also in mind that in the case of living people, we don't accept non-free images. -- lucasbfr ^talk (using User:Lucasbfr2) 16:10, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Does this work?

For images that appear in Wikipedia:

Attribution Rules under Creative Commons license:

1. Use of photo outside the Wikipedia website must include the caption: "Photograph by Christopher Peterson." Within the Wikipedia website: according to Wikipedia Image Use Policy conditions.

2. Use of photo outside the Wikipedia website must include a link to my website: christopherpeterson.com

3. As a courtesy, I would appreciate being informed of any use of my photos in any medium for any purposes. Sacredhands 16:16, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

How about something along these lines?

1. Either the caption "Photograph by Christopher Peterson." and a link to the website christopherpeterson.com must appear below the image, or, if the image is used in an online medium, the image itself may be a hyperlink to a separate page providing this information.

2. As a courtesy, I would appreciate being informed of any use of my photos in any medium for any purposes.

This has the benefit of working for wikipedia without a special "in wikipedia" clause, since this (a link from the image to a page giving the credit/licensing info) is how wikipedia does things, and this way would allow mirrors/forks. Is this arrangement (i.e. image may be hyperlinked to a page giving byline info and website link anywhere, not just wikipedia) acceptable to you? —Random832 16:28, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Perfect! Works for me. Thanks for taking the time to clarify the issue. I appreciate it. Sacredhands 16:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Seems good! Thanks :) -- lucasbfr ^talk (using User:Lucasbfr2) 16:51, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Sartorialist

What was the copyright violation? I'll fix it since it was my photo. Thanks. Sacredhands 12:27, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Image:Scott schuman sartorialist bryant park fashion week photographer.jpg was deleted because it appeared to be a copyright violation. Specifically, it had been copied from flickr but the source page made no mention of the license. Therefore I assumed that you had copied it in violation of copyright. If you are the copyright owner, of course, then you don't need to put it there, but should instead use the license tag {{self|cc-by-3.0}}. I'll restore the image with that tag now.

Superm401 - Talk 06:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I actually haven't listed this yet. It appears you are Christopher Peterson, the photographer. If that's correct, please change the image page. It should not say Flickr is the source, since you yourself actually are. Instead, write something like "Photograph taken by Christopher Peterson (User:Sacredhands)". The license tag can stay. Thanks, and sorry for the confusion. Superm401 - Talk 06:42, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I changed the source to my actual domain name. does that work or should I add the sacredhands link as well? thanks.Sacredhands 18:43, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Odette Henriette Jacqmin

The article Odette Henriette Jacqmin has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable. Can't find any sources/coverage myself, and article creator could only offer a blog and two links selling products.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Mbinebri  ^{talk ←} 17:07, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Suzy menkes wwd fashion critic writer.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Suzy menkes wwd fashion critic writer.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
• add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Redsky89 (talk) 18:38, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Derek Blasberg

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Derek Blasberg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://web.archive.org/web/20071101064802/http://derekblasberg.com/Site%202/Welcome.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 12:48, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Shar jackson ex wife kfed fashion week 2007 ny christopher peterson photographer.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Shar jackson ex wife kfed fashion week 2007 ny christopher peterson photographer.jpg. 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.

If you are the copyright holder for 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

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.
