File copyright problem with File:Harold Wagner.jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Harold Wagner.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Eeekster (talk) 03:51, 5 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Harold Wagner.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Harold Wagner.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Sorry, but per non-free use policy a non-free image may be used only in a article, and it may be hosted on Wikipedia only if it is used in an article. —teb728 t c 07:12, 5 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Harold Wagner.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Harold Wagner.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 19:01, 5 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • If I created it myself, what am I supposed to do if it is not online?

Your avatar edit

I’m sorry that image policy is such a pain.

The reason for the restrictions on non-free content is that Wikipedia has a goal of producing reusable content; so non-free content is allowed only if articles really need it. The restrictions have the double advantage that they encourage copyright owners to free-license their work, and they stimulate editors to find free replacements.

One reason for active copyright enforcement is that a lot of people think they can upload stuff they just find somewhere on the internet—stuff that Wikipedia has no right to use. And when they are challenged, some claim they own the copyright. When I noticed that your cited source was your site at deviantart, I was personally content with your claim that you owned the copyright. But given what some people do here, I hope that you can see why others were skeptical.

If your commission to Keanon M. Woods was a work for hire, or if your order purchased the copyright or the right to sublicense, you should be able to contact him as described at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.

I like your user page, and I hope you get to keep your avatar. Please don’t let this frustrating situation prevent you from remaining as a valued contributor here. —teb728 t c 23:35, 5 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

The basic information about the image is that I commissioned Keanon back in December to draw a 3-page comic. After receiving the comic, I posted it on image hosting sites DeviantART and Fur Affinity (I have seen others do this). I haven't noticed any fights/arguments between Keanon and his commissioners, so it appears he is okay with this. So recently (late March) I decided to change my avatar on web sites I had accounts with. I came up with an edited version of page 2 of the comic that I thought looked pretty cool.

Now I'm not sure what rights I do actually have in copyright, but I did contact Keanon. I'm not sure how long it will take him to respond, however. He is away from his computer for large amounts of time (days? weeks? months?).

I appreciate the rather kind response.--Hg3300 (talk) 23:47, 5 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion edit

Category:!!! EPs I saw your comment here. I figured I would inform you of WP:CIVIL and WP:CFD. If you want to propose this for deletion, there is a process for doing that, but note that it was recently nominated and kept per WP:SMALLCAT. Also, category talk pages are rarely watched. If you need any assistance, please let me know. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 07:39, 25 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification edit

Hi. When you recently edited Revolutions - The Very Best of Steve Winwood, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages I'm a Man and Chris Wood (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Don't do this again. That's not going to make it like the deletion nomination never happened, and that's not how we express our disagreement here. postdlf (talk) 18:05, 8 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s.
