Can I put an illustration from a newspaper article that was published over 100 years ago in a Wikipedia article? It was copyrighted in 1921. PopePompus ( talk) 03:57, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
I took a photo of a nicely designed cigarette box (the kind people used to keep on their coffee tables) made in 1940 which I want to use in Veiled Prophet Parade and Ball. This item was made in a couple of hundred copies. Do I have a chance of getting into Wikipedia, and, if so, how? Thank you. BeenAroundAWhile ( talk) 22:04, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
illustrate the kind of sovenirthe outfit gave out since that would bascially be WP:DECORATIVE non-free use. Is this the same cigarette box? If it is, then (at least in that photo) it looks fairly simple to me and your photo of it might be OK for Commons. You may want to ask about that at c:COM:VPC. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:30, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
I added the cover of the first volume of the manga Spy × Family into this page but the bot deleted it. I just want to ask, is there any way (legit way) to add an illustration (in this case, it is the first cover) to that page? - Theodorethebear ( talk) 11:29, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
JJMC89 bot has removed the link to the image I had put. I do not understand why, since the image is already being used in another article under fair use without any problem. Veverve ( talk) 01:15, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
I would like to create an map for Poundstone Amendment. Since the current county boundaries do not reflect the date of the election, I wished to use a shapefile from the Newberry Library. The metadata states: "Free access/download and use under Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Creative Commons License." I was told that I could not upload such a file to Commons. Is it permissible to upload such a file to WP? - Presidentman talk · contribs ( Talkback) 00:22, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
File:Medea James Morwood 1996b.jpg was uploaded as a non-free book cover which I tagged for deletion as not meeting WP:NFCC#8. However, I am not sure the cover is copyrighted. The cover makes use of a painting that is now in the public domain. The additional elements in the cover are simply text in red boxes. See File talk:Medea James Morwood 1996b.jpg for the current state of the discussion. -- Whpq ( talk) 20:51, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
I know this is quite pedantic and may not matter as much since BetaCommandBot is blocked now. But the text inserted by BetaCommandBot on Talk pages includes a common grammar error. This is copied from Talk:Night_and_Day_(Joe_Jackson_album) but I am sure there are many instances.
"Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template."
Eventually I suppose all the images will have the Fair Use justification. But is there anyway in the powers of the Wiki gods that it can be fixed globally?

The file I created, File:Pound sterling banknotes.png, is being removed by this bot on Pound sterling. This is strange because there is no violation of non-free usage. In fact I put it there to replace a previous image of banknotes with the same license. -- Manche Captain ( talk) 10:31, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I am a recently appointed New Page Patroller. During a New Page Patrol of Valynce Te Whare, I noticed that the image used (albeit small) appears to be copied from a video here. I am unsure where/how to tag this for speedy deletion (assuming that is the right course of action). Any advice much appreciated, particularly as I might encounter this again.

Hypothetical (I wouldn't use this on Wikipedia, but it serves as an example): Consider this World of Warcraft-themed ugly sweater https://www.jinx.com/collections/warcraft/products/world-of-warcraft-alliance-ugly-holiday-sweater#Image31021926514871
It uses design elements from a video game but the sweater was designed by someone unrelated to the game (likely contracted out by the seller of the sweater), and then a photographer took a picture of it.
Who owns the copyright to this photograph? Blizzard Entertainment (the makers of the World of Warcraft video game), the person who designed the sweater, Jinx (the seller in this case, who owns the copyright of the website displaying the image), or the photographer who took the picture?
If the photograph was to be published under an acceptable free license, who would grant the permission?
Followup question: Would the situation be different if a person who purchased the sweater is photographed wearing it? ~ Anachronist ( talk) 14:17, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
This was deleted from the Ray Herndon Wikipedia page as not having valid copyright, But, it is used on the McBride & the Ride page, and is in Commons. I believe this can be validly used
Explanation: The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the band and 2 of its members
Replacable? The group in question has been disbanded and is not likely to reform, so a free image would not be possible. Other information The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of this image.
This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.
The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion. It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate: the person(s), product, event, or subject in question; where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it; on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation; qualifies as fair use under Copyright law of the United States. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos. .

in Commons; it was uploaded locally to English Wikipedia as non-free content for use in McBride & the Ride. Since it's non-free content, each use of it needs to satisfy all ten non-free content use criteria. The reason why the bot removed the file from Ray Herndon was because the file lacked the separate and specific non-free use rationale required for that article per non-free content use criterion #10c; this is why the bot added a link to WP:NFC#Implementation in the edit summary it left when removing the file. Generally, non-free images are not allowed to be used for primary indentification purposes in articles about still-living persons per WP:FREER and item 1 of WP:NFC#UUI; so, it would be really quite hard to justify the use of the file in the biography article about Herndon simply because he's still living and it's not unreasonable to expect that a free image of image can either be found or created to serve the same encyclopedic purpose as this or any non-free one. Personally, I think the non-free use of the image in the article about the band is also questionable and probably would have a hard time establishing a consensus in favor of its use for many of the same reasons. Non-free images of defunct bands are sometimes allowed, but usually only when their visual appearance of the band was one of the main reasons for their popularity. The fact that the band is now defunct isn't always a very strong justification for non-free use absent any reliably sourced content about the band's appearance that makes seeing a non-free image of the band helpful to the read. Things like the use of make-up or special costumes, or the presence of deceased band members in the original lineup of the band to be things that provided a good justification non-free use, but none of those things seem to apply to McBride & the Ride. While I'm sure the file was uploaded in good faith, the fact that the non-free use was never discussed or assessed until now doesn't mean it's a valid non-free use. Regardless, this would most likely need to be something discussed at FFD to be resolved, but once again I think there's probably no chance of a consenus being established in favor of the file's use in the Herndon article even if the use in the article about the bacn is considered to be OK. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 02:39, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
I don't know how to complete copyright stuff for this file:
I uploaded it before reading the Media copyright questions.
