License tagging for Image:AMGOTH cover.gif

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:AMGOTH cover.gif. 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:

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. 09:04, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I suspect that still isn't adequate to stop fully describe the copyright situation. Its not strictly speaking the cove of 2000 AD - its the image that was used as the basis for the cover [1] - this puts it in a different category - something I learned with the FutureQuake cover. You have to usually supply a link to the source (if its online) but the version there is bigger than the one on his MySpace page [2] and I can't find it on his hompeage so I'd guess he has supplied you with the image to use (or you are him) in which case you can use the "withpermission" tag - if you go to the edit page of the FQ cover you can lift the tags straight from there. Hope that helps - its a great image and I'd like to see it kept in but unless everything is crystal clear on the copyright front then someone might make a move to remove it (if you aren't sure about the copyright situation then feel free to message me the details and I'll come up with some ideas and/or directly add the bits need to clarify things) (Emperor 01:26, 18 August 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:American_Gothic_colourart1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 09:18, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:MikeCollinspic.jpg

[edit]
Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:MikeCollinspic.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Genisock2 (talk) 01:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
