The images posted on the Anonymous (Street Meat) page are mine. I need to place the copyright logo onto these images, but the number has yet to be given to me by Washington's copyright office after paying the fee and several months of waiting. These images are Josie and Josie's eye and they're in my film "Anonymous (Street Meat)" -- I'm the film's director, producer, writer and editor -- etc.
Thank you for any help you may provide -- I've posted a similar message in several other places -- too numerous to remember.

A photo that you have listed in the public domain:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Admiral_Blandy_Mushroom_Cloud_Cake.jpg
Getty Images wants me to license from them for $1,175 for 5 years. When I told them the photo is listed in the public domain and asked them to provide proof that they have the right to license to the photo, they told me they don't do that, and that the photo may indeed be in public domain and the only way I could know for sure they have the rights to the photo is to contact a lawyer and have it properly vetted - which obviously would cost more than licensing it. In other words Getty wants me to pay them for something they refuse to provide proof they have the rights to, to avoid the chance that they may have the rights to it and come after me.
And you guys don't make any guarantees either
Is the photo in the public domain? Since it was taken in 1946 wouldn't it automatically be in public domain by now? Is there a way I can vet it or find out that won't cost me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylego ( talk • contribs) 19:42, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
My bad. Thought the copyright was shorter.
But other issue, Wiki gives the source as the U.S. Navy, which would make it public domain. But elsewhere on the web someone gave the source as a Harris & Ewing Studio photographer, which is why I called Getty Images. But Getty refuses to verify or provide proof that they licensed the rights from them.
Okay. So donating the original negs to the LOC automatically puts it in public domain? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylego ( talk • contribs) 21:21, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. I'll check with them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylego ( talk • contribs) 01:24, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks Hammersoft. I checked the Harris & Ewing collection in the LOC and the photo isn't there, which indicates Wiki's notation that it was taken by the Navy, and therefore PD could be true. Because of the age of the photo it would require a manual search at the LOC, which would be the minimum of $330 if they do the search. Still on it. Because it was a controversial, well publicized photo in its time I should be able to find something verifiable on it that won't cost me $330. Theoretically.
Any anti-nuke activists in DC wanna do a manual search at the LOC for the cause, and the accompanying glory?-- Kylego ( talk) 18:06, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
If there was a renewal it would be in 1974. A manual/non online ($330) search is required for everything before 1/1/78, so that's a non-starter, but appreciate the thought.-- Kylego ( talk) 11:48, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Quadell (
talk) 13:41, 3 October 2011 (UTC)Hello all. I've created a few pages recently for sports figures and have occasionally added a small team logo or two within such articles if/when a person had a long tenure with a specific team. This has been standard practice all over the internet and in media reports for years, and there seems to be no specific prohibition against doing so in the various Wiki Image, Copyright, and Non-Free Image policies I've read. My doing so has also generated a couple comments about how the articles look better with the images rather than without.
However, someone came through and deleted several such images from their respective pages yesterday with notes calling such usage "inappropriate." In every case, I had posted a Fair Use Rationale on the corresponding image page, and in several of the cases, the logo itself was defunct and simply historical in nature (i.e., not even the team's current logo). A quick search here didn't yield any specific discussions on this. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I noticed the same person who deleted the images yesterday seems to struggle with basic concepts like WP:GNG, so I'm wondering if this is yet another example of a person acting as a lone wolf here. Any feedback? Thanks very much. — NY-13021 ( talk) 00:26, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
I have a concern about several photos I have seen. I don't want to make a stink about the images (since I actually want them to remain on Wikipedia) until I understand the rules a little more concerning images taken at televised event. Specifically, if the event says "Photography prohibited" and is broadcasted via TV, can the person taking the photo hold the copyright. For example (and this is completely unrelated), if I went to the taping of the Blue Collar Comidty Tour, and took a photo of Jeff Foxworthy on the stage, assuming (and it probably would) that there were signs and notes on the tickets that Photography was prohibited, could I upload that image of Jeff Foxworthy under a commons license? Personally I would think not, since I was not given permission to take the photo, but I'm not sure how the rules work in situations like that-- ARTEST4ECHO ( talk/ contribs) 14:11, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

The article on Mystery Scene magazine includes no less than six examples of non-free magazine covers, without little or no relevant commentary.

I have been working on Hank Williams' article, that was recently listed as a GA. I have found pictures of Williams in the official site of the Alabama Department of Archives and History. Since the description did not clarify the copyright status of the photographs, I sent an e-mail to the Archives asking for the specific copyright, and I received this reply:
We don't have any information about the origins or photographers of these images. The physical copies belong to us, but the copyright statuses are unknown. Because it is almost impossible to determine who would hold such rights (unless the holders identify themselves), we have decided to post the images for educational purposes. If you decide to do the same, we still ask that you complete our standard permission form so that we will have a record of the use: http://www.archives.alabama.gov/referenc/private2.pdf

I joined Wikipedia some years ago and am only now finding time to learn how to contribute.
This weekend I have been cleaning up the page Daisy (doll) and wanted to add a picture of what the doll looks like. Since I have a MIP Daisy Doll, I took a photo of it File:Dashing Daisy Ice Queen 65703 in original box.jpg and added it to the listing, chosing the copyright option that made most sense to me since I'd taken a photo of an item that included a logo.
Soon after I received notification that I "provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status."
Usually my images are licenced under a Creative Commons Attribution, No Derivative Works licence, but since this is a photo of a manufactured item, is the copyright for the item or of my photo of the item?

Quadell (
talk) 11:46, 14 October 2011 (UTC)A question has come up regarding the use of promotional brochures for vehicles, published by the automaker, as reliable sources for assertions (or, more frequently, statements of specification) in automobile articles. At least one editor feels such brochures are not acceptable as sources per WP:ELNEVER; he considers them to be automatically copyrighted by dint of publication in the USA after 1978. I disagree for a couple of reasons: the actual content of the brochure is not being presented (images or whole pages are not being scanned in and used in articles, for example), the brochures are being used as sources and not as external links (which would seem to make WP:ELNO and WP:ELNEVER inapplicable), and the copyright status of such a brochure is—at least to my mind—questionable because we aren't talking about a book, magazine, or other work that could reasonably be assumed to have reserved rights; rather we are discussing promotional literature designed, intended, and published for free and wide distribution. Please see examples of removal of such sources here, here, and here. Comment and clarification will be appreciated from those better versed than I in Wikipedia policy on such matters.

I have spoken to an archivist at Stanford University about the use of various photographs that I have posted under Shark Island, German South West Africa, Okahandja Concentration Camp, Windhoek Concentration Camp and Swakopmund Concentration Camp. These photographs were taken roughly between 1904 and 1918. I was told that in the United States anything that was published before 1923 is now in the public domain. Precisely because of this, I avoided posting these photos to WikiMedia Commons, where they could possibly be used internationally (not limited to the United States). Thus, these photographs should be in the public domain in the United States.
Since there was no way to assign these photos "Public Domain" as a classification (that choice is not one of those in the drop-down for classifying photos when you upload), I assigned them the classification "Historically significant fair use (deceased persons or historic events)". There ought to be no fee for using a photograph that's in the public domain!
Was the classification I assigned, incorrect? Please advise! I want these photos to be seen legitimately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Virago250 ( talk • contribs) 06:09, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

there is a discussion about "freedom of panorama" (or something like that) in different countries.

Thanks for your prompt and informative reply. The statue is indeed in a free, public place, but I have not been able to upload pictures at Commons in a couple of weeks. Not that i have been in trouble there, just when I hit "Upload" (or whatever), I wait and then get a FAILED flag.

I might try contacting Commons and see what they suggest. I did load the image here [7], probably without enough explanation. But that is my problem now. I originally wanted the picture for an article about the sculptor that I found on the Spanish wikipedia - there was no article in the English wiki, but I could not seem to be able to post it there. However I think I am going to squeeze an article out of bablefish translations - which are about 47% better than my Spanish, and what ever else I can drum up. Sort of a scary thought.

De minimis is claimed for the image of the iphone 4 on the box lid (the copyright of which is almost certainly owned by Apple). I do not believe that de minimis applies in this case because there is no way that the image of the iPhone 4 can be considered incidental to the subject of the photograph. Further, the photograph has been taken to deliberately include the image. The principle further fails because the test of whether obscuring the image would significantly affect the subject matter of the picture fails - because it clearly would.

Apparently (as far as I can surmise) the file was uploaded to Wikipedia, and then to Commons, and then for some reason, the Wikipedia description was replaced by the Commons description, which says "This file originated at Wikipedia" and links back to the Wikipedia description, which now just says "This file originated at Wikipedia" and links back to itself.

A photo that you have listed in the public domain:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Admiral_Blandy_Mushroom_Cloud_Cake.jpg
Getty Images wants me to license from them for $1,175 for 5 years. When I told them the photo is listed in the public domain and asked them to provide proof that they have the right to license to the photo, they told me they don't do that, and that the photo may indeed be in public domain and the only way I could know for sure they have the rights to the photo is to contact a lawyer and have it properly vetted - which obviously would cost more than licensing it. In other words Getty wants me to pay them for something they refuse to provide proof they have the rights to, to avoid the chance that they may have the rights to it and come after me.
And you guys don't make any guarantees either
Is the photo in the public domain? Since it was taken in 1946 wouldn't it automatically be in public domain by now? Is there a way I can vet it or find out that won't cost me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylego ( talk • contribs) 19:42, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
My bad. Thought the copyright was shorter.
But other issue, Wiki gives the source as the U.S. Navy, which would make it public domain. But elsewhere on the web someone gave the source as a Harris & Ewing Studio photographer, which is why I called Getty Images. But Getty refuses to verify or provide proof that they licensed the rights from them.

Thanks Hammersoft. I checked the Harris & Ewing collection in the LOC and the photo isn't there, which indicates Wiki's notation that it was taken by the Navy, and therefore PD could be true. Because of the age of the photo it would require a manual search at the LOC, which would be the minimum of $330 if they do the search. Still on it. Because it was a controversial, well publicized photo in its time I should be able to find something verifiable on it that won't cost me $330. Theoretically.
Any anti-nuke activists in DC wanna do a manual search at the LOC for the cause, and the accompanying glory?-- Kylego ( talk) 18:06, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
If there was a renewal it would be in 1974. A manual/non online ($330) search is required for everything before 1/1/78, so that's a non-starter, but appreciate the thought.-- Kylego ( talk) 11:48, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

This has been standard practice all over the internet and in media reports for years, and there seems to be no specific prohibition against doing so in the various Wiki Image, Copyright, and Non-Free Image policies I've read. My doing so has also generated a couple comments about how the articles look better with the images rather than without.
However, someone came through and deleted several such images from their respective pages yesterday with notes calling such usage "inappropriate." In every case, I had posted a Fair Use Rationale on the corresponding image page, and in several of the cases, the logo itself was defunct and simply historical in nature (i.e., not even the team's current logo). A quick search here didn't yield any specific discussions on this. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I noticed the same person who deleted the images yesterday seems to struggle with basic concepts like WP:GNG, so I'm wondering if this is yet another example of a person acting as a lone wolf here. Any feedback? Thanks very much. — NY-13021 ( talk) 00:26, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
I have a concern about several photos I have seen. I don't want to make a stink about the images (since I actually want them to remain on Wikipedia) until I understand the rules a little more concerning images taken at televised event. Specifically, if the event says "Photography prohibited" and is broadcasted via TV, can the person taking the photo hold the copyright. For example (and this is completely unrelated), if I went to the taping of the Blue Collar Comidty Tour, and took a photo of Jeff Foxworthy on the stage, assuming (and it probably would) that there were signs and notes on the tickets that Photography was prohibited, could I upload that image of Jeff Foxworthy under a commons license? Personally I would think not, since I was not given permission to take the photo, but I'm not sure how the rules work in situations like that-- ARTEST4ECHO ( talk/ contribs) 14:11, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

The article on Mystery Scene magazine includes no less than six examples of non-free magazine covers, without little or no relevant commentary. This appears really excessive; the covers look like a decorative column rather than legitimate use of nonfree images. My inclination is to retain only the first issue cover, which is clearly related to the description of the magazine's beginnings, as well as a more current one for the infobox. Am I off base here?

I have been working on Hank Williams' article, that was recently listed as a GA. I have found pictures of Williams in the official site of the Alabama Department of Archives and History. Since the description did not clarify the copyright status of the photographs, I sent an e-mail to the Archives asking for the specific copyright, and I received this reply:
We don't have any information about the origins or photographers of these images. The physical copies belong to us, but the copyright statuses are unknown. Because it is almost impossible to determine who would hold such rights (unless the holders identify themselves), we have decided to post the images for educational purposes. If you decide to do the same, we still ask that you complete our standard permission form so that we will have a record of the use: http://www.archives.alabama.gov/referenc/private2.pdf
After doing some search in the commons I have found images belonging to the Archives of Alabama posted with an {{Attribution}} license, such as File:Governor William W. Brandon.jpg. Would it be proper to upload pictures under this license?

I joined Wikipedia some years ago and am only now finding time to learn how to contribute.
This weekend I have been cleaning up the page Daisy (doll) and wanted to add a picture of what the doll looks like. Since I have a MIP Daisy Doll, I took a photo of it File:Dashing Daisy Ice Queen 65703 in original box.jpg and added it to the listing, chosing the copyright option that made most sense to me since I'd taken a photo of an item that included a logo.
Soon after I received notification that I "provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status."
Usually my images are licenced under a Creative Commons Attribution, No Derivative Works licence, but since this is a photo of a manufactured item, is the copyright for the item or of my photo of the item?

File:Nelson Rockefeller.jpg. In the image, notice the Corbis watermark in the top right left. Now, I believe the image itself is public domain because it is a work of the US Government. However, the Corbis watermark not only undermines that statement, it looks tacky on the article. I have been unable to find a copy of this image with the same high resolution as the Corbis image (there are other images online that are just up-converts of the lower resolution image) without the watermark. Is there a proper course of action for Wikipedia? Should we use the lower resolution, non-watermarked image, or should we find a way to remove the watermark? --

Quadell (
talk) 11:46, 14 October 2011 (UTC)A question has come up regarding the use of promotional brochures for vehicles, published by the automaker, as reliable sources for assertions (or, more frequently, statements of specification) in automobile articles. At least one editor feels such brochures are not acceptable as sources per WP:ELNEVER; he considers them to be automatically copyrighted by dint of publication in the USA after 1978. I disagree for a couple of reasons: the actual content of the brochure is not being presented (images or whole pages are not being scanned in and used in articles, for example), the brochures are being used as sources and not as external links (which would seem to make WP:ELNO and WP:ELNEVER inapplicable), and the copyright status of such a brochure is—at least to my mind—questionable because we aren't talking about a book, magazine, or other work that could reasonably be assumed to have reserved rights; rather we are discussing promotional literature designed, intended, and published for free and wide distribution. Please see examples of removal of such sources here, here, and here. Comment and clarification will be appreciated from those better versed than I in Wikipedia policy on such matters.

I have spoken to an archivist at Stanford University about the use of various photographs that I have posted under Shark Island, German South West Africa, Okahandja Concentration Camp, Windhoek Concentration Camp and Swakopmund Concentration Camp. These photographs were taken roughly between 1904 and 1918. I was told that in the United States anything that was published before 1923 is now in the public domain. Precisely because of this, I avoided posting these photos to WikiMedia Commons, where they could possibly be used internationally (not limited to the United States). Thus, these photographs should be in the public domain in the United States.
Since there was no way to assign these photos "Public Domain" as a classification (that choice is not one of those in the drop-down for classifying photos when you upload), I assigned them the classification "Historically significant fair use (deceased persons or historic events)". There ought to be no fee for using a photograph that's in the public domain!
Was the classification I assigned, incorrect? Please advise! I want these photos to be seen legitimately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Virago250 ( talk • contribs) 06:09, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

I do not believe that de minimis applies in this case because there is no way that the image of the iPhone 4 can be considered incidental to the subject of the photograph. Further, the photograph has been taken to deliberately include the image. The principle further fails because the test of whether obscuring the image would significantly affect the subject matter of the picture fails - because it clearly would.

I have uploaded this file: File:Sf1912.jpg, a Christams seal issued in 1912 in then Russian Finland. I was unaware who the author was. Now I have discovered that this Christmas seal had been designed by Väinö Blomstedt who died in 1947. I am uncertain now if there is any copyright covering this picture. Finnish post stamps issued prior to 1945 do not fall into this category, but I do not know how it looks like with Christmas seals. I hope it is in public domain now, but I would be happy if you could check this. If the image is copyrighted, please delete it. Thank you. Kiejstut9 ( talk) 08:02, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

I uploaded the image mentioned. Wikipedia is threatening to delete it unless I release copyright data and permission from the original author. Below the image I recently included the FULL email exchange between the author and myself, in which he is clearly giving me permission to use his image. I would like the deletion warning removed immediately. Brother Atticus ( talk) 22:57, 19 October 2011 (UTC)Brother Atticus

First, I don't see how the most literal possible statement of permission, presented outright to boot, can be "not good enough." Secondly, how can I provide a "link" to a statement of permission that was given over email? Am I supposed to hand out my email password?

I have no idea if there's a better place than this one to point this out; I apologize if I picked the wrong page. I was curious about the source of File:35wBridgecollapse.gif so I looked at the description page and ended up pretty confused. Apparently (as far as I can surmise) the file was uploaded to Wikipedia, and then to Commons, and then for some reason, the Wikipedia description was replaced by the Commons description, which says "This file originated at Wikipedia" and links back to the Wikipedia description, which now just says "This file originated at Wikipedia" and links back to itself.
I don't know what, if anything, should be done to correct or improve this situation, but I thought I'd point it out to those who may have a better understanding of this stuff. Theoldsparkle ( talk) 19:18, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Its source has become unreliable: the FOX.com has shutted down its The O.C. webpage along with this image.

Hi there. I'm inquiring about several images relating to the Folding@home article. I can handle text fine, but I'm a little shaky at trying to handle all this copyright license stuff, so if someone could give me some advice or help me out here I'd really appreciate it. I'd like to know how to solve some of the unresolved license issues regarding File:F@H Logo 2007.png, File:LifeWithPlayStation Folding.jpg, and File:F@h v7 novice shot.png. This may also concern this image which I may get onto the article eventually if it fits. Yes, I'll be changing the description to a template in all of these images, but I'd like advice on what I should do exactly. Dr. Vijay Pande has given me permission for these images here but I'm still not sure if I have things right. What's the maximum size possible for a screenshot? Did I get sufficient permissions? What should I do to get things proper? I've read up on these things, but I'd like some help from people with some experience in these matters. If you have some answers, feel free to post on my Talk page; that might make things a bit cleaner. Thank you any help you provide, Jessemv ( talk) 05:21, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
