While the fair use rational for the logo on the United Party of Canada page may be valid with respect to being the logo of that party, I think the party's use of it also violates the copyright of the Liberal Democrats.

Just double-checking, but is it acceptable to use cover art for a novel which the author has on their personal website? I'm looking for an image for an article draft I'm currently working on, and the other Wikipedia articles about books in the series have all gotten them from this one site. I just want to be sure, though, and I can't find any way to contact the author to ask for her permission (though I suspect the publisher owns the rights anyway, and I can't find the right contact info for them either).

The article about the 1964 film, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians has an external link from the Internet Archive. However, when you click on the external link to see the film on IA, there is a message that reads:
"ATTENTION – PLEASE READ BEFORE VIEWING OR DOWNLOADING THIS ITEM: The uploader of this film has labeled it as in the public domain in the United States of America.

I'm well aware that Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. At the same time, I'm also aware that Wikipedia is a website that can even be used outside of the United States.

An hour or two ago I uploaded an image of the Macedonian politician Zoran Zaev as File:Zoran Zaev.jpg, for use on the subject's page and on Macedonian general election, 2014, after plowing through the directions for using two templates and searching the web for free images. I explained my rationale on the File source page:
Just now NickW557 has left a boilerplate message on my Talk page, telling me
If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.- On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
Plainly, he didn't read the rationale I'd put there.
I had forgotten to add the "Non-free media rationale" templates to the two pages where I used it; I've gone back and done that. I just went to the description page and found
{{di-replaceable fair use|date=3 October 2015|1=Non-free image of living person is replaceable per [[WP:NFC#UUI]]#1. The test is not whether a replacement exists, but whether one ''could be created''}}
in the wikicode at the very top. I added
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed| date=3 October 2015| I am unable to find any clearly free media. Most of the images I've found are either from commercial sites such as the BBC, Reuters, and Getty, or from sites in Albanian and Macedonian, neither of which I can read. I live in the United States and am unwilling to go to Macedonia just to try to take my own picture of this person.}}
right underneath it, but that doesn't show in the display, so I have added the same text without template to the head of the Summary.
I can't figure out what the heck else I'm supposed to do. Would someone kindly tell me clearly? -- Thnidu ( talk) 18:56, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

I am unable to find any clearly free media. Most of the images I've found are either from commercial sites[...]. Based on your rationale, I decided to replace the generic AutoReplaceable template with a human-evaluated deletion template to address your rationale. That is why I stated
The test is not whether a replacement exists, but whether one could be created.

Hi, Why would this be in the public domain? It is not 2D art, and AFAIK, Google claims a copyright over its pictures. Regards, Yann ( talk) 14:48, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
Editor Osmond Phillips, a very new editor, has uploaded a number of images in the recent past, purportedly of notable American western figures. These images are all part of the so-called Phillips Collection. The collection of "over 200 photos" is reported to have been found by two individuals in the Downtown Antique Mall in Checotah, Oklahoma somewhere between 1995 and 1997. The images are claimed to be of famous Western figures including "Doc Holliday, Big Nose Kate, Wyatt Earp, Josephine Earp, Mattie Earp, the Clanton's, Johnny Behan, John Clum, Jesse James, the Younger Brothers, the Masterson family, and others." The owner of the images independently deduced "that the collection might have been compiled by Frank Phillips [who founded the Phillips Petroleum Company] because there may be photos of Mr. Phillips or his family mixed into the collection."
Phillips has uploaded the images to Commons stating that they were all taken prior to 1923, but Phillips has not provided any proof of this. I truly believe that some of the pictures are in fact of the individuals stated. The likenesses are very clear, though in a few instances, less so. I'd really like to help get the images accepted as valid. They are a wonderful contribution to the historic lore about the individuals who they are supposed to be pictures of. I think the collection itself is notable and may merit an WP article itself.
However, because Phillipes is the uploader of the images, it's obvious his simple declaration of their provenance, that the images are all pre-1923, and that they are of the people stated does not appear to be sufficient meet WP image use policy.
Issues:
I've asked Phillips to provide some third-party sources to establish that the images were taken before 1923, or proof that the studio on the image closed before 1923, or other evidence. I suggest that he provide third-party expert opinion that the images are of the individuals named, or other evidence that the person's names were written on the images, etc.
As the owner of the images, if Phillips can clearly establish the authenticity of images of famous historical figures, Phillips could be greatly rewarded financially. Because this is a complex issue, due diligence is required.
What standards should WP apply in this instance? — btphelps ( talk to me) ( what I've done) 23:29, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
PHILLIPS COLLECTION. OSMOND PHILLIPS The collection wasn't know to the public until recently. The second owners they have researched the collection for almost twenty years. The owners did not know what to do with it as far as getting the collection known. I was hired to promote it.
There are a few photos that has the actual persons name on it. Others have relatives names on them and a few friends. We do have forensic results back on Josephine Earp. A article will be out the first of November if not earlier on her. We are only doing forensic analysis on Josephine Earp, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Big Nose Kate Horony, Jesse and Frank James, John Wesley Hardin and Billy the Kid. These are very high profile people. It cost a lot of money to get these analyzed by Professor Cary Lane.
Something to consider, the chance that anyone can find even one look alike in their life time has odds against them like winning the lottery. The Phillips collection has over 200 look alikes. The collection has another 100 photos we still have to research. Obviously someone researched the families of these people and purchased their photographs. The photography companies were in business during the of time of the people photographed. We also believe the owner advertised in National newspapers to buy Old West outlaws and lawmen. We do not submit any photographs unless we are certain it is who we say it is. We have a team of 8 people. By submitting a photo of someone that is not who we say it is can hurt the credibility of the collection. I have over 25 years experience in Western Antiques. There is over 80 years of experience on our team.
We are and will be completely responsible for what we submit.
We even have a group of photographs of Kate Horony, Doc Holliday's companion that will prove that the photograph that has been know as Josephine Earp in books for over 50 years and on the internet is really Big Nose Kate Horony. This collection has many interesting clues that will make a difference in the history of these people. Some of the ways we identify the people in the photographs. 1. Forensic Age Regression Analysis on high profile people by a leading Professor of Forensic Arts from John Jay College in New York. Professor Cary Lane teaches Forensic Arts used in law enforcement. 2. Visual comparisons of authenticated photos. We have a lot of experience since this collection is so large. We are using Professor Lanes suggestions to help identify the people. 3. Making sure the photography studio was in business when the person was there. 4. Checking the age and death date of the person at the time of the photo was taken to make sure it is possible. 5. Look for the name of the person on the photo card or a relatives name that it may have been sent to. 6. Try to match hand writing of the person photographed when there is writing on the photograph. 7. Identifying the extra person or persons in the photograph which is usually a wife, husband, family member, members or co-worker. Identifying more than one person in the photograph increases the odds dramatically. 8. Checking to see if the person could have been in the city when the photo was taken. 9. Contacting descendants of the family to see if they recognize the person from their family photos or possible resemblance. We have had positive results from a family member of the Jesse James and John Wesley Hardin photographs. 10. Check with museums to get their opinion on the people they specialize in. 11. Send out Press releases to find out more information on the collections origin and/or its individual photos. 12. Made sure the clothing worn in the photograph matches the style worn when the person was purported to be there. 13. Matching clothing and jewelry from other photographs of the person from the collection and authenticated photographs. 14. Comparing known locations of the persons travels with the collection photographs. 15. Noting how many photos we have of the person and family members in the collection which leads one to believe that they were purchased from the family. 16. Studying the type of photograph as to when the photograph process was available and when it faded out, regarding CDV's, Tintypes, Ambrotypes, Daguerreotypes, Cabinet Cards etc. 17. Look for identifying marks on the person such as moles, scars etc. that are know about the person. 18. Since Cabinet cards were popular for around 35 years, we also have to study different characteristics through the years of use such as color of card, artwork and print on the card, card borders and edges, the photographic paper, etc. to narrow down the span of 35 years.

I uploaded this file this evening: File:Guide_to_the_Literature_of_Photography_and_Related_Subjects.pdf but was not sure how to properly tag it. When I first uploaded it I was unsure of the license, but I later found a tag identifying it to be public domain. Was not sure how to adjust the description/tags so I added the note as a comment below the existing license tag. I'm sure this is probably not properly formatted and am hoping someone can fix it / properly format it for me. Thank you.

Good morning,
I received six notes from a bot regarding images I uploaded to my sandbox. I have the National Association of Rocketry's permission to use these images, which originally appeared on their website, www.nar.org.
The NAR has asked that we restrict the rights to non-commercial use only, suggesting the Creative Commons cc-by-nc 2.0 license. I realize that's incompatible with Wikipedia guidelines, but the article will be incomplete without the images. Do you have any guidance on how to handle this, with an example or two?
Thanks!

Thanks for the prompt response, Jo-Jo.
I have an e-mail from the president of the organization, granting permission. That's not exactly public, but I do have it in hand. I plan to move everything from the sandbox to the the page "National Association of Rocketry." The organization would prefer non-commercial, but we all guess that it's more important to have the photos on the page than to worry too much about commercial exploitation of them.
I guess that means we're leaning toward public domain after all, but I'd appreciate a sanity check from you or another experienced Wikipedian. Thanks!

It has been a pain just uploading the image, far less going through the myriad of completely disperate "rules", trying to figure out whether some leftist, liberal policy is being butthurt.

The image I had on the article "Dr. Wilson A Head" was removed. I would like to know why none of the followup images that I subsequently loaded to take its place have not been accepted to post on the article. These subsequent images that I loaded on Wikimedia Commons were personally scanned for me by members of Dr. Head's family and sent to me by email in the hopes that one of them could be used to go with the article. There is no copyright infraction with these images, as they were taken directly from the family members' own personal scrap books.

Head shot is public, taken at Miami U. I hold the copyright for my book [cover]."
The problem is that no one has a physical copy of a license for these photos, particularly given those taken with the author's own camera. She has given explicit permission, but can I post them?

With the UK government releasing high-res (2m to 25cm) LIDAR data of most of England, it makes it possible to create images of archaeological sites that there are no other free (libre) maps for.
I've just downloaded some data, and had a go ( here for this hillfort), and am now having some doubts about whether this qualifies as a libre image, and if so, how to tag & attribute it correctly.

Hello, folks. I understand that there is concern about using non-free magazine covers. But I also understand that much of this concern is about using magazine covers that depict photographs of persons. My question here is about literary magazines whose covers depict a scene from one of the stories contained in the magazine. As an example, consider the magazine cover shown here. Its cover depicts a scene from a particular story by a particular author (here, Clifford Simak). In the instant case, the cover has passed into the public domain for reason of non-renewal, but my question is -- what if it wasn't in the public domain? Could it still be used as non-free content in an article about that particular story? By way of background, I note that these magazines typically feature new (i.e., previously unpublished) stories and that the Wikipedia articles on the stories routinely identify the magazine (and issue number) in which the story was first published. Thank you for your attention to this question. NewYorkActuary ( talk) 23:06, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Thank you all for your comments and advice. The points about checking on the validity of the illustrations are well taken.

Do you guys think that this would be in the public domain? The re-release of the book appears to be copyrighted, but I'm not sure if that's for the book itself or the things that the publishers added.

The Detroit Industry Murals were painted in 1932 and 1933 in a public location, which qualified them for "publication" under contemporary US law. Were paintings subject to renewal at the time, and if so, when, and how would the renewal have been made known? Like with books, would the painter have had to renew them in the 28th year, and would the renewal have been published in a normal place like the Catalog of Copyright Entries? I'd love to undelete the full-resolution editions of File:Rivera detroit industry south.jpg and File:Rivera detroit industry north.jpg and re-mark them as {{ PD-art}}. In case you're wondering, I've checked the full-resolution editions without finding copyright notices, but full-resolution is still small enough that we can't be anywhere close to sure.

Hi, this may be the wrong place to ask, but I'm trying to determine how best to handle a chart depicted in a novel. The chart has two different forms, and is a representation of something similar to Morse code. Form 1 and Form 2. As far as I can tell, there are no online copies of the original chart except on sites like Tumblr, and I'm assuming that those copies are probably not good for meeting Wikipedia's copyright standards.
Is this a case where I should try to create an original representation of the chart (using some kind of painting program)? Or can the originals be scanned from a copy of the novel or downloaded from Tumblr? I'm not sure if the format and design of the original chart is important enough to use the kind of fair-use rationale that applies for logos. The information it displays is definitely important for the article it will be used in. Thanks for help with this complicated question. 2ReinreB2 ( talk) 05:03, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi again. I posted a few weeks ago about using an image for the Alan Partridge page. I'm still kind of stumped by this.
The previous image was removed for breaking copyright - the uploader (not me, I'm innocent guv!) falsely claimed it was their own work. I'd really like to get something on there, similar to how the Harry Potter, Walter White and Tony Soprano articles have images of their characters.
I'm having real trouble finding an image I can use, though. I tried to upload this low-res image from DVDtalk but I was unable to complete the upload wizard because, for example, I don't know the original author of the photo or where it was first used.
I notice the Tony Soprano page uses a low-resolution screenshot from an episode of The Sopranos - the screenshot is itself taken from an HBO site. Could I do the same thing by using a low-res screenshot from an Alan Partridge TV show or movie? Or is there some simple way I can use a promotional image of Alan Partridge by sourcing it properly? Any other ideas? Popcornduff ( talk) 07:21, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

If the screenshot is made *by you* of *your gameplay* then the **screenshot** is copyrighted to you as a derivative work. If it is your photo then you have the right to upload it. People around here are seriously confused about copyright when it comes to screenshots (for good reason, copyright is seriously confusing!). A screenshot of a game is covered by two copyrights. One with the content (by the game creator), and the second with the photographer (who took/published the photo). The photographer may have fair-use/derivative works protections depending on how he intends to use the photo (thereby protecting him from being sued by the original content creator). Feel free to ask any questions. BcRIPster ( talk) 18:20, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

An hour or two ago I uploaded an image of the Macedonian politician Zoran Zaev as File:Zoran Zaev.jpg, for use on the subject's page and on Macedonian general election, 2014, after plowing through the directions for using two templates and searching the web for free images. I explained my rationale on the File source page:
Just now NickW557 has left a boilerplate message on my Talk page, telling me
If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.- On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
Plainly, he didn't read the rationale I'd put there.
I had forgotten to add the "Non-free media rationale" templates to the two pages where I used it; I've gone back and done that. I just went to the description page and found
{{di-replaceable fair use|date=3 October 2015|1=Non-free image of living person is replaceable per [[WP:NFC#UUI]]#1. The test is not whether a replacement exists, but whether one ''could be created''}}
in the wikicode at the very top. I added
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed| date=3 October 2015| I am unable to find any clearly free media. Most of the images I've found are either from commercial sites such as the BBC, Reuters, and Getty, or from sites in Albanian and Macedonian, neither of which I can read. I live in the United States and am unwilling to go to Macedonia just to try to take my own picture of this person.}}
right underneath it, but that doesn't show in the display, so I have added the same text without template to the head of the Summary.

Hi, Why would this be in the public domain? It is not 2D art, and AFAIK, Google claims a copyright over its pictures. Regards, Yann ( talk) 14:48, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
Editor Osmond Phillips, a very new editor, has uploaded a number of images in the recent past, purportedly of notable American western figures. These images are all part of the so-called Phillips Collection. The collection of "over 200 photos" is reported to have been found by two individuals in the Downtown Antique Mall in Checotah, Oklahoma somewhere between 1995 and 1997. The images are claimed to be of famous Western figures including "Doc Holliday, Big Nose Kate, Wyatt Earp, Josephine Earp, Mattie Earp, the Clanton's, Johnny Behan, John Clum, Jesse James, the Younger Brothers, the Masterson family, and others." The owner of the images independently deduced "that the collection might have been compiled by Frank Phillips [who founded the Phillips Petroleum Company] because there may be photos of Mr. Phillips or his family mixed into the collection."
Phillips has uploaded the images to Commons stating that they were all taken prior to 1923, but Phillips has not provided any proof of this. I truly believe that some of the pictures are in fact of the individuals stated. The likenesses are very clear, though in a few instances, less so. I'd really like to help get the images accepted as valid. They are a wonderful contribution to the historic lore about the individuals who they are supposed to be pictures of. I think the collection itself is notable and may merit an WP article itself.
However, because Phillipes is the uploader of the images, it's obvious his simple declaration of their provenance, that the images are all pre-1923, and that they are of the people stated does not appear to be sufficient meet WP image use policy.
Issues:
I've asked Phillips to provide some third-party sources to establish that the images were taken before 1923, or proof that the studio on the image closed before 1923, or other evidence. I suggest that he provide third-party expert opinion that the images are of the individuals named, or other evidence that the person's names were written on the images, etc.
As the owner of the images, if Phillips can clearly establish the authenticity of images of famous historical figures, Phillips could be greatly rewarded financially. Because this is a complex issue, due diligence is required.
What standards should WP apply in this instance? — btphelps ( talk to me) ( what I've done) 23:29, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
PHILLIPS COLLECTION. OSMOND PHILLIPS The collection wasn't know to the public until recently. The second owners they have researched the collection for almost twenty years. The owners did not know what to do with it as far as getting the collection known. I was hired to promote it.
There are a few photos that has the actual persons name on it. Others have relatives names on them and a few friends. We do have forensic results back on Josephine Earp. A article will be out the first of November if not earlier on her. We are only doing forensic analysis on Josephine Earp, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Big Nose Kate Horony, Jesse and Frank James, John Wesley Hardin and Billy the Kid. These are very high profile people. It cost a lot of money to get these analyzed by Professor Cary Lane.
Something to consider, the chance that anyone can find even one look alike in their life time has odds against them like winning the lottery. The Phillips collection has over 200 look alikes. The collection has another 100 photos we still have to research. Obviously someone researched the families of these people and purchased their photographs. The photography companies were in business during the of time of the people photographed. We also believe the owner advertised in National newspapers to buy Old West outlaws and lawmen. We do not submit any photographs unless we are certain it is who we say it is. We have a team of 8 people. By submitting a photo of someone that is not who we say it is can hurt the credibility of the collection. I have over 25 years experience in Western Antiques. There is over 80 years of experience on our team.
We are and will be completely responsible for what we submit.
We even have a group of photographs of Kate Horony, Doc Holliday's companion that will prove that the photograph that has been know as Josephine Earp in books for over 50 years and on the internet is really Big Nose Kate Horony. This collection has many interesting clues that will make a difference in the history of these people. Some of the ways we identify the people in the photographs. 1. Forensic Age Regression Analysis on high profile people by a leading Professor of Forensic Arts from John Jay College in New York. Professor Cary Lane teaches Forensic Arts used in law enforcement. 2. Visual comparisons of authenticated photos. We have a lot of experience since this collection is so large. We are using Professor Lanes suggestions to help identify the people. 3. Making sure the photography studio was in business when the person was there. 4. Checking the age and death date of the person at the time of the photo was taken to make sure it is possible. 5. Look for the name of the person on the photo card or a relatives name that it may have been sent to. 6. Try to match hand writing of the person photographed when there is writing on the photograph. 7. Identifying the extra person or persons in the photograph which is usually a wife, husband, family member, members or co-worker. Identifying more than one person in the photograph increases the odds dramatically. 8. Checking to see if the person could have been in the city when the photo was taken. 9. Contacting descendants of the family to see if they recognize the person from their family photos or possible resemblance. We have had positive results from a family member of the Jesse James and John Wesley Hardin photographs. 10. Check with museums to get their opinion on the people they specialize in. 11. Send out Press releases to find out more information on the collections origin and/or its individual photos. 12. Made sure the clothing worn in the photograph matches the style worn when the person was purported to be there. 13. Matching clothing and jewelry from other photographs of the person from the collection and authenticated photographs. 14. Comparing known locations of the persons travels with the collection photographs. 15. Noting how many photos we have of the person and family members in the collection which leads one to believe that they were purchased from the family. 16. Studying the type of photograph as to when the photograph process was available and when it faded out, regarding CDV's, Tintypes, Ambrotypes, Daguerreotypes, Cabinet Cards etc. 17. Look for identifying marks on the person such as moles, scars etc. that are know about the person. 18. Since Cabinet cards were popular for around 35 years, we also have to study different characteristics through the years of use such as color of card, artwork and print on the card, card borders and edges, the photographic paper, etc. to narrow down the span of 35 years.

The NAR has asked that we restrict the rights to non-commercial use only, suggesting the Creative Commons cc-by-nc 2.0 license.

I have an e-mail from the president of the organization, granting permission. That's not exactly public, but I do have it in hand. I plan to move everything from the sandbox to the the page "National Association of Rocketry." The organization would prefer non-commercial, but we all guess that it's more important to have the photos on the page than to worry too much about commercial exploitation of them.
I guess that means we're leaning toward public domain after all, but I'd appreciate a sanity check from you or another experienced Wikipedian. Thanks!

I would like to know why none of the followup images that I subsequently loaded to take its place have not been accepted to post on the article. These subsequent images that I loaded on Wikimedia Commons were personally scanned for me by members of Dr. Head's family and sent to me by email in the hopes that one of them could be used to go with the article.

The image was sent to me by the owner specifically to add it to the Wikipedia entry. If I want to restore it, how do I explain that in the file entry, and how specific (for example re. name of the copyright holder) do I have to be?

With the UK government releasing high-res (2m to 25cm) LIDAR data of most of England, it makes it possible to create images of archaeological sites that there are no other free (libre) maps for.
I've just downloaded some data, and had a go ( here for this hillfort), and am now having some doubts about whether this qualifies as a libre image, and if so, how to tag & attribute it correctly.
The data was downloaded here, and seems to be released under the UK Open Government Licence v3: any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks. ‑‑ Yodin T 22:29, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, folks. I understand that there is concern about using non-free magazine covers. But I also understand that much of this concern is about using magazine covers that depict photographs of persons. My question here is about literary magazines whose covers depict a scene from one of the stories contained in the magazine. As an example, consider the magazine cover shown here. Its cover depicts a scene from a particular story by a particular author (here, Clifford Simak). In the instant case, the cover has passed into the public domain for reason of non-renewal, but my question is -- what if it wasn't in the public domain? Could it still be used as non-free content in an article about that particular story? By way of background, I note that these magazines typically feature new (i.e., previously unpublished) stories and that the Wikipedia articles on the stories routinely identify the magazine (and issue number) in which the story was first published. Thank you for your attention to this question. NewYorkActuary ( talk) 23:06, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Thank you all for your comments and advice. The points about checking on the validity of the illustrations are well taken. As a practical matter, I will not be writing articles on stories that I haven't read and, indeed, will be re-reading them as I finalize the articles. Doing that will place me in a good position to verify the appropriateness of the depiction. Thank again. NewYorkActuary ( talk) 21:24, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
So today I posted a picture a friend of mine took this summer. I asked this friend if I was allowed to use it, and add it to wikipedia. He allowed me to, so I posted it to use in an article I am working on. It has been flagged now and will be removed if information is not added on the copyright. How do I source this image and stop it from being taken down? I intend to keep it on my article that is for a class assignment due soon.

How would I correctly upload this image found here?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Catmando999 ( talk • contribs)
Probably trivial, but I don't know my way around licensing etc. yet, so some guidance would be appreciated.
The image File:Mormopterus planiceps.jpg was uploaded and added to Southern free-tailed bat by an editor who is not the owner of the image but claims to have received permission by the owner to upload it here, provided it is credited correctly (see statement here). I see no reason to doubt them, but I wonder if the image will have to be attributed differently at Commons then (not just with a website ref). Can someone clarify? I have removed the image from the article until that is cleared up. Cheers -- Elmidae ( talk) 10:29, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
Is a photo published in an Irish newspaper in the public domain? I haven't been able to find a reference in the Wiki pages to tell me. Garranes ( talk) 09:08, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Example
The image appears to have been scanned from a book, which I've not yet identified and then edited to remove most of the text on the page. The editor then classed this as "Own Work" however I am not sure this falls under that category and may need to be deleted.

There are multiple images of Mansfield Smith-Cumming, a British man who died in 1923. Are these eligible for inclusion in the article about him? If so, what specifically would be needed on the file page at Commons? ― Mandruss ☎ 23:18, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
I have a question about this image. I'd like to upload it to Wikipedia for the article for Lucy Addison, but I was unsure about the copyright. The book was published in the 1920s and it's currently hosted at the Internet Archive. It looks like it's been republished, but I know that this does not always mean that the images would be copyrighted.
Do you guys think that this would be in the public domain? The re-release of the book appears to be copyrighted, but I'm not sure if that's for the book itself or the things that the publishers added. I know that the book Wuthering Heights is in the public domain, but print books will still have copyright notices so I'm unsure on this. Tokyogirl79LVA ( talk) 14:52, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

I've been working on Marilyn Monroe's article, and am looking for images to illustrate the section about her childhood. I can find several photographs of Monroe as a child (she was born in 1926 so I presume mostly taken between 1926–1935), but have no idea about whether these kinds of images are copyrighted? Presumably none of them were copyrighted at the time as they would've been just normal childhood photos taken by family members, yet Getty Images is confusingly making money by licensing them: http://www.gettyimages.fi/photos/marilyn-monroe-child?assettype=image&excludenudity=false&family=editorial&page=1&phrase=marilyn%20monroe%20child&sort=mostpopular I'm currently in the process of taking the article to FA level, and an image of Monroe as a child/teen would be a wonderful addition. I've read through the WP guides to copyright issues, but still don't trust myself on this topic. Any help would be appreciated! TrueHeartSusie3 ( talk) 16:43, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
Seems to me that this should be {{ PD-textlogo}}. Any dissent/objections? Useddenim ( talk) 18:02, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
I noticed that there's a comment on the talk page of this article mentioning that the image currently used in the article as the series logo is actually a fan-made image and not the actual logo, as its description and fair use rationale state. The talk page comment also includes a link to the main NBC page that has the actual logo, and I'd change this myself but I'm not at all familiar with working with images on Wikipedia, and since the desire is to change a preexisting image it seemed complicated. Can someone with more experience please swap the logo out for the correct one? Sorry if this isn't the right place for requests like this. Just hoping to get the attention of someone who knows how to do this. — 2macia22 ( talk) 19:08, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
The Detroit Industry Murals were painted in 1932 and 1933 in a public location, which qualified them for "publication" under contemporary US law. Were paintings subject to renewal at the time, and if so, when, and how would the renewal have been made known? Like with books, would the painter have had to renew them in the 28th year, and would the renewal have been published in a normal place like the Catalog of Copyright Entries? I'd love to undelete the full-resolution editions of File:Rivera detroit industry south.jpg and File:Rivera detroit industry north.jpg and re-mark them as {{ PD-art}}. In case you're wondering, I've checked the full-resolution editions without finding copyright notices, but full-resolution is still small enough that we can't be anywhere close to sure.

Hi, this may be the wrong place to ask, but I'm trying to determine how best to handle a chart depicted in a novel. The chart has two different forms, and is a representation of something similar to Morse code. Form 1 and Form 2. As far as I can tell, there are no online copies of the original chart except on sites like Tumblr, and I'm assuming that those copies are probably not good for meeting Wikipedia's copyright standards.
Is this a case where I should try to create an original representation of the chart (using some kind of painting program)? Or can the originals be scanned from a copy of the novel or downloaded from Tumblr? I'm not sure if the format and design of the original chart is important enough to use the kind of fair-use rationale that applies for logos. The information it displays is definitely important for the article it will be used in. Thanks for help with this complicated question. 2ReinreB2 ( talk) 05:03, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi again. I posted a few weeks ago about using an image for the Alan Partridge page. I'm still kind of stumped by this.
The previous image was removed for breaking copyright - the uploader (not me, I'm innocent guv!) falsely claimed it was their own work. I'd really like to get something on there, similar to how the Harry Potter, Walter White and Tony Soprano articles have images of their characters.
I'm having real trouble finding an image I can use, though. I tried to upload this low-res image from DVDtalk but I was unable to complete the upload wizard because, for example, I don't know the original author of the photo or where it was first used.
I notice the Tony Soprano page uses a low-resolution screenshot from an episode of The Sopranos - the screenshot is itself taken from an HBO site. Could I do the same thing by using a low-res screenshot from an Alan Partridge TV show or movie? Or is there some simple way I can use a promotional image of Alan Partridge by sourcing it properly? Any other ideas? Popcornduff ( talk) 07:21, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
I uploaded a picture and I'm not really sure how to tell what the copyright licensing on it is. I got it from a website that said the photo was courtesy of the person that the photo was of (the photo was of Marian Rees and it said the photo was courtesy of Marian Rees). It didn't give any other information about the photo so I'm not sure how to tell if I could use it or not. I was wondering if you had any insight.

If the screenshot is made *by you* of *your gameplay* then the **screenshot** is copyrighted to you as a derivative work. If it is your photo then you have the right to upload it. People around here are seriously confused about copyright when it comes to screenshots (for good reason, copyright is seriously confusing!). A screenshot of a game is covered by two copyrights. One with the content (by the game creator), and the second with the photographer (who took/published the photo). The photographer may have fair-use/derivative works protections depending on how he intends to use the photo (thereby protecting him from being sued by the original content creator). Feel free to ask any questions. BcRIPster ( talk) 18:20, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
