Hi Carnildo, and thanks for inquiring about Image:JRE-EC205-500.jpg. I located the same file on the Japanese Wikipedia and added copyright information to the English Wikipedia Image page. I hope it is sufficient. If not, please let me know and I'll see if I can dig deeper. Having started the article the photo illustrated, I have an interest in the subject.

Hi, I don't know whether this question has been asked or not. In the creative commons FAQ, there is a definition what if the copyright holder changes his/her mind about their CC license. It says:
What if I change my mind?
Creative Commons licenses are non-revocable. This means that you cannot stop someone, who has obtained your work under a Creative Commons license, from using the work according to that license. You can stop distributing your work under a Creative Commons license at any time you wish; but this will not withdraw any copies of your work that already exist under a Creative Commons license from circulation, be they verbatim copies, copies included in collective works and/or adaptations of your work. So you need to think carefully when choosing a Creative Commons license to make sure that you are happy for people to be using your work consistent with the terms of the license, even if you later stop distributing your work.
The problem is that how do we know that an image that was taken, for example from Flickr, has changed its license from WP compatible ones into non-compatible ones? Usually in the image summary, only a link to the Flickr page that is given, but when we go to the source, it says that the image license is not equal. I've done some cleanup of non-compatible WP license from Flickr, and then I realized that this case could happen. Thanks for your help. — Indon ( reply) — 14:21, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Reffering to: Image:1108635570AES-MCFLY-326.jpg "..where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it." I don't fully understand what a "free image" is, could someone please explain? -- Stacey 22:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
A copyrighted image I uploaded ( Image:Zamira sydykova.jpg) has recently been tagged for deletion on the basis that it supposedly violates Wikipedia's First Fair Use criterion (i.e. that a free image could reasonably used in its place). What is the criteria for tagging images like this in this way? Given that it's well nigh impossible to find freely usable images of this person my assumption is that it was tagged purely because it is a copyrighted image being used under a Fair Use rationale. If I'm right then that doesn't make a lot of sense. For the tag to be meaningful it presupposes that some copyrighted images pass the "First Fair Use" test and others fail it, but I really can't see how this one fails that test. I get the impression that the editor added the tag purely because it is a copyrighted image. Can anyone shine some light on the procedure here? (PS Please reply to my talk page. Thanks!) -- Hux 09:08, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
I've recently uploaded a couple of images, but then I got a message saying that I haven't tagged it properly. I did however provide a link as to where the picture is uploaded, isn't that sufficient enough? I'm not too sure if I understand how it works here, but to post a picture you need to provide solid evidence that you have Copyright, and permission for an image to be uploaded? I need a little help on this.
Thank you,

User:Chowbok has placed a disputed fair use tag on five images I uploaded. Now, he was correct on four of them as they were each copyrighted, but one of them ( Image:RyanKesler.jpg) was obtained from a press release from the Philadelphia Flyers and was marked with a promo photo tag. (The other four images were replaced with other press release pictures, which are freely distrubuted by the teams.) I have added fair use rational on the talk pages of all five, but am I incorrectly marking these pictures or are they not fair use? Briememory 20:20, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

A bit puzzled as to why the Image that I included on Matthias Schmlez profile was deleted.

Orphanbot's been bugging to put source information on logos recently, so I am wondering - should logos even need sources? I don't understand legal stuff very much, but it seems to me that it would be obvious that the logo belongs to the organization represented by the logo.
What should I put for the source on logos? Here are examples of two different ways I've handled it recently.
For the second image listed, the place I acquired the image from was actually wikipedia. I was just fixing it up so it would comply with some image formatting policy or guidline.
Could someone please help me with this? Jecowa 08:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Say you take a family photo, and a magazine just happens to lie face up on a table. Who own the copyright of the resulting image? What if you ignored the family (cut them away with MS Paint or some such) so that you end up with the Magazine cover only, who has the copyright now? I'm honestly not sure.
Assuming the magazine is of a Marvel comic, and that marvel has a photograph of the same front cover on their homepage. What legal difference is there to uploading your image, or Marvel's image to Wikipedia - assuming you release whatever copyrights your holding? Surly Marvel retains all copyright for their magazine cover?
The reason I'm raising this issue is because a number of promotional images are being removed from Wikipedia due to fair use issues, with the argument that if the photo is replaced by a photo taken by a wikipedian it is somehow more 'fair use' (or so I understand it). What I'm trying to argue is that it makes no/little legal difference if you take a photograph of Logitech mouse and release your copyright, or Logitech take a photo of said mouse - in both cases Logitech "owns" the image.
Bottom line, if an Image of a commercial product is deleted because the company that manufactured the product owns the copyright - it is no use replacing it with a user photographed one since the same entity holds copyright in both cases. (Note that is the manufacturer is not the source of the image, i.e. it came from some other website, then - yes - it makes a difference)-- Anss123 20:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I have just uploaded two images to the Literature Circles article that I have been diligently adding to for over a week for a graduate assignment as part of a course.

I would like help in the appropriate copyright tag for Image:PNS 1925 Cardinal.png. It is a scan of a 1925 college yearbook cover, uploaded for an article on that college. I admit that the article Plattsburgh Normal School will survive with out the image but I thought it was a helpful image.
I would also like to ask a related question while I'm here. I now have two images of the Plattsburgh Normal School building which I have not uploaded yet. One is an actual photograph circa 1905 and although it's nice, it's pretty small. Another is what appears to be either an good illustration or a painting on a photo, taken from a post card. This image may not be a straight photo but it is much better as an illustration of the school because it is at a better angle, in color, closer, and larger. I do not know the year the post card was printed but it has to be from before 1929 at the latest, the year which the structure burned down. Either or both of these images would be excellent as an encyclopedic illustration of the article subject - the school. Can anybody point me in the right direction for the correct copyright tags for these images so I can get them right the first time. Thanks. -- Fife Club 16:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
The policy of restricting the fair use images is a big setback for wikipedia. The policy been intepreted as if the object or person exists then its picture can be taken and hence the image cannot be used and need to be deleted. Who guarantees that the image of the said object will be clicked by someone. If no one takes the picture and above all did not uploads it into wikipedia commons, wikipedia articles will go without good images to be used in articles. Also if it is not possible to be uploaded into wikipedia, provision need to be made for this images to be shown in wikipedia articles by linking it with the exact location where the image is present with the acknoledgement.
Thank you Chanakyathegreat 16:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Regardless of the passionate defense of Admin and Founders, this policy IS hurting the quality of images and even the existence of images for this Encyclopedia. Why anyone would insist that someone give away ALL rights, commercial and otherwise, to their valuable property, is beyond me. Would you be willing to give up ALL rights to your paycheck because you were willing to donate 10 percent to a charity this week? Same concept, which is why Wikipedia will do without my photos. Time for you guys to wake up and appreciate the generosity without demanding that we give everything away just because YOU believe in doing so. -- JT 04:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Reffering to: Image:1108635570AES-MCFLY-326.jpg "..where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it." I don't fully understand what a "free image" is, could someone please explain? -- Stacey 22:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
A copyrighted image I uploaded ( Image:Zamira sydykova.jpg) has recently been tagged for deletion on the basis that it supposedly violates Wikipedia's First Fair Use criterion (i.e. that a free image could reasonably used in its place). What is the criteria for tagging images like this in this way? Given that it's well nigh impossible to find freely usable images of this person my assumption is that it was tagged purely because it is a copyrighted image being used under a Fair Use rationale. If I'm right then that doesn't make a lot of sense. For the tag to be meaningful it presupposes that some copyrighted images pass the "First Fair Use" test and others fail it, but I really can't see how this one fails that test. I get the impression that the editor added the tag purely because it is a copyrighted image. Can anyone shine some light on the procedure here? (PS Please reply to my talk page. Thanks!) -- Hux 09:08, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
I've recently uploaded a couple of images, but then I got a message saying that I haven't tagged it properly. I did however provide a link as to where the picture is uploaded, isn't that sufficient enough?

I need a little help on this.

User:Chowbok has placed a disputed fair use tag on five images I uploaded. Now, he was correct on four of them as they were each copyrighted, but one of them ( Image:RyanKesler.jpg) was obtained from a press release from the Philadelphia Flyers and was marked with a promo photo tag. (The other four images were replaced with other press release pictures, which are freely distrubuted by the teams.) I have added fair use rational on the talk pages of all five, but am I incorrectly marking these pictures or are they not fair use? Briememory 20:20, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphanbot's been bugging to put source information on logos recently, so I am wondering - should logos even need sources? I don't understand legal stuff very much, but it seems to me that it would be obvious that the logo belongs to the organization represented by the logo.
What should I put for the source on logos? Here are examples of two different ways I've handled it recently.

Say you take a family photo, and a magazine just happens to lie face up on a table. Who own the copyright of the resulting image? What if you ignored the family (cut them away with MS Paint or some such) so that you end up with the Magazine cover only, who has the copyright now? I'm honestly not sure.
Assuming the magazine is of a Marvel comic, and that marvel has a photograph of the same front cover on their homepage. What legal difference is there to uploading your image, or Marvel's image to Wikipedia - assuming you release whatever copyrights your holding? Surly Marvel retains all copyright for their magazine cover?
The reason I'm raising this issue is because a number of promotional images are being removed from Wikipedia due to fair use issues, with the argument that if the photo is replaced by a photo taken by a wikipedian it is somehow more 'fair use' (or so I understand it). What I'm trying to argue is that it makes no/little legal difference if you take a photograph of Logitech mouse and release your copyright, or Logitech take a photo of said mouse - in both cases Logitech "owns" the image.
Bottom line, if an Image of a commercial product is deleted because the company that manufactured the product owns the copyright - it is no use replacing it with a user photographed one since the same entity holds copyright in both cases. (Note that is the manufacturer is not the source of the image, i.e. it came from some other website, then - yes - it makes a difference)-- Anss123 20:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I would like help in the appropriate copyright tag for Image:PNS 1925 Cardinal.png. It is a scan of a 1925 college yearbook cover, uploaded for an article on that college. I admit that the article Plattsburgh Normal School will survive with out the image but I thought it was a helpful image.
I would also like to ask a related question while I'm here. I now have two images of the Plattsburgh Normal School building which I have not uploaded yet. One is an actual photograph circa 1905 and although it's nice, it's pretty small. Another is what appears to be either an good illustration or a painting on a photo, taken from a post card. This image may not be a straight photo but it is much better as an illustration of the school because it is at a better angle, in color, closer, and larger. I do not know the year the post card was printed but it has to be from before 1929 at the latest, the year which the structure burned down. Either or both of these images would be excellent as an encyclopedic illustration of the article subject - the school. Can anybody point me in the right direction for the correct copyright tags for these images so I can get them right the first time. Thanks. -- Fife Club 16:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
The policy of restricting the fair use images is a big setback for wikipedia. The policy been intepreted as if the object or person exists then its picture can be taken and hence the image cannot be used and need to be deleted. Who guarantees that the image of the said object will be clicked by someone. If no one takes the picture and above all did not uploads it into wikipedia commons, wikipedia articles will go without good images to be used in articles. Also if it is not possible to be uploaded into wikipedia, provision need to be made for this images to be shown in wikipedia articles by linking it with the exact location where the image is present with the acknoledgement.
Thank you Chanakyathegreat 16:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Regardless of the passionate defense of Admin and Founders, this policy IS hurting the quality of images and even the existence of images for this Encyclopedia. Why anyone would insist that someone give away ALL rights, commercial and otherwise, to their valuable property, is beyond me. Would you be willing to give up ALL rights to your paycheck because you were willing to donate 10 percent to a charity this week? Same concept, which is why Wikipedia will do without my photos. Time for you guys to wake up and appreciate the generosity without demanding that we give everything away just because YOU believe in doing so. -- JT 04:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
