License tagging for File:Sighthill-wiki.gif

Thanks for uploading File:Sighthill-wiki.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:05, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Craiglockhart.gif

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Craiglockhart.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 13:54, 13 January 2011 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:54, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Warning

Please stop uploading unsourced and unlicensed photographs. You are only allowed to upload images that you took yourself, or that are otherwise demonstrably licensed for free use. If you make any more bad image uploads, I might have to block your account. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:20, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello. Re-uploading that same file again and again doesn't really help you. What you need is an explanation of why you think the image is free for everybody to use. But it most likely isn't. Unless you can show us a link to a statement where the university explicitly says it is releasing it under a free license. (If you have such a link, you can add it to the image page just by editing the page like any other Wikipedia page; you don't need to go through the upload form again.)

Silly

Photographs should be uploaded as JPGs not GIFs. The thumbnails you uploaded were derisorily small. Now. Go to geograph where you will find lots of images which we are free to use. For example, look at these images. Use Magnus' tool to upload them - it may well tell you that they are there already. And use them. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:19, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Blocked

Despite our warnings above, you have failed to show any improvement, but instead, in order to evade scrutiny of your uploads here, you have just moved over to Commons and continued making the same bad uploads there [1]. You are therefore now blocked for 1 week. If you make any further bad uploads, here or on Commons, you will be blocked indefinitely without further warning. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:11, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
