About the file /info/en/?search=File:Medical_college_logo.jpg ,no non-JPEG source exists.What should I do?Will making a PNG version of the image violate the copyright?-- Guru-45 ( talk) 03:24, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Aren't you already violating copyright? Eeekster ( talk) 08:35, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

I put that logo under a fair use rationale-and you tagged that image with a {bad JPEG} and {opaque} tag.No other versions of that logo exist that could be put without violating copyright. Guru-45 ( talk) 08:56, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

And making a non-jpeg version isn't fair use? Eeekster ( talk) 09:10, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

That's my question-is it fair use? Guru-45 ( talk) 09:20, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I had asked you about the same issue in august also, but you didn't respond. I wanted to know whether there's a way to upload images on Wikipedia that I do not own. I just want them to be shown in an article because there are no other images of that kind. Is there a way out? or is it just not possible?(Nipun Nayar 14:59, 15 September 2013 (UTC))

Please explain why this is F11, There was a reasonable good faith assumption that the uploader was the artist concerned. I've previously been told asking artists to OTRS for thier OWN works is overkill and disruptive. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 23:06, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Besides being previously published the image contains a copyright notice. So we really should have some evidence that this person really is the artist. Eeekster ( talk) 19:48, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

I have a fan page on facebook where i post different pics made by me.I never claim any copyrights and i dont mind anyone sharing or copying them. However, now i am trying to upload the pics on wikipedia and i am getting a deletion notice stating my pics are copied from other sites, but actually those sites have copied those pics from my fanpage. I can even prove this by letting wikipedia compare the dates of my posts on facebook and those sites which have posts after the dates when i posted my pics. Please let me know how can i fix this issue Islamicdua ( talk) 00:24, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

This file should not be speedy deleted as an obviously non-free file but which is not claimed by the uploader to be fair use, because i made this pic myself. The other person who has uploaded this pic on his blog has copied it from my facebook page. I made this pic a couple of years ago and it is still on my facebook page.I am posting its link here so that you can verify that i am the actual owner of this pic and the person who has this pic on his website has copied it from my page https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151590441099766&set=a.10151542170834766.1073741831.373941634765&type=3&src=https%3A%2F%2Fscontent-a-vie.xx.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-prn2%2F7412_10151590441099766_1145881087_n.jpg&size=800%2C628

You'll need to send email to OTRS the establish that the images are your creations. Eeekster ( talk) 01:05, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Although I am grieved by the fact that my images are not accepted on Wikipedia due to their copyright statuses, I thank you upholding the rules and regulations of this website. Without people like you, it would not be what it is today.-- NicktendoNerd ( talk) 00:48, 17 September 2013 (UTC)NicktendoNerd Deforest_Kelley
