File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Deep Web, Dark Web, Surface Web Infographic.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:17, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Panopticon.exe. All files uploaded to Wikipedia require two things per Wikipedia:Image use policy: (1) Information on the source and copyright status/authorship of the file and (2) a file copyright license. This file has neither which means it will likely end up being speedily deleted per WP:F4 in about seven days if it's still lacks such information.
You can provide information about the file itself by using Template:Information; just add the template to the file's page and complete as much of the template's parameters as possible. If you're not sure how to use the template, you can add the information directly to the file's page yourself.
If you hold the copyright on this image, then you can choose any of the file copyright licenses listed in WP:ICT/FL. These are the free licenses generally accepted by accepted by Wikipedia. If the file has already be released somewhere online under one of these free licenses, then you should try and use that same license on Wikipedia. If, however, you're not the original copyright holder of the image or it has been release under a license that Wikipedia doesn't accept (see c:Commons:Licensing and Wikipedia:Copyrights#Guidelines for images and other media files for more on this), then you cannot upload the file without the permission of the original copyright holder or the website hosting the file. You will need to follow c:Commons:OTRS#If you are NOT the copyright holder or c:Commons:OTRS#Licensing images: when do I contact OTRS? depending on which is applicable. For reference, Commons and Wikipedia are sister websites with their own policies and guidelines, but they are the same when it comes to this type of thing; so, I've linked to the Commons page just for reference purposes. If you've got any questions about this, please feel free to ask for help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:30, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Deep Web, Dark Web, Surface Web Infographic.png. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:56, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for providing information about the source of the file; however, but you should provide the url to the actual webpage showing the image, not just to the homepage of the website hosting the image. In addition, the file is still lacking a file copyright license; so, please add that as well. If you want to release the file under a free license, then please use one of the files referred to at WP:ICT/FL. Whatever license you choose, however, should be the same license used on the source website. "Copyright 2019 © Casey Botticello. All Rights Reserved" is fine for your website, but it's too restrictive for Wikipedia's purposes; so, you're either going to have to change the licensing of your website or the webpage showing the photo to one that Wikipedia accepts, or send a WP:CONSENT email to Wikipedia OTRS stating that you agree to release this particular file under a free license that Wikipedia accepts.
Before you do that though you should understand that basically you'll be giving permission to anyone anywhere in the world to download this photo at anytime to use for any purpose (including commercial or derivative use) without needing to directly ask you for permission. Such a license will also be non-revocable per c:COM:LRV, which means you still won't be able to stop people from using the version you release under such a license, even if you change your mind later on. You're not transfering your copyright over the image to Wikipedia; you're just agreeing to release a version of the file under a free license to make it easier for others to use. If you're OK with all of this, you should really have this local file deleted per WP:G7 and sort out the Commons file c: File:Deep Web, Dark Web, Surface Web Infographic.png instead.
One last thing, everything I've posted so far has to do file licensing. Even if the file's licensing is sorted out, there's still no guarantee that other editors will agree that the file should be added to any Wikipedia articles. Being the copyright holder of an image doesn't mean you have the any special right to add your images to any articles; so, if you add the file to an article and it's removed by another editor for reasons unrelated to copyright licensing. you will then be expected to follow Wikipedia:Dispute resolution and establish a WP:CONSENSUS on the relevant article's talk page to add the file. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:13, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Deep Web, Dark Web, Surface Web Infographic.png

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Deep Web, Dark Web, Surface Web Infographic.png. 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
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. 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. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:47, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
