File permission problem with File:Joe Kopp Savannah 2006 Flat Track.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Joe Kopp Savannah 2006 Flat Track.jpg, which you've attributed to Joe Kopp. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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}} 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. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:20, 25 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:Brad-Baker-Springfield Nelson-1.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:Brad-Baker-Springfield Nelson-1.jpg. 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) 03:05, 14 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

File permission problems edit

(Warning: this copyright legal stuff will give you a headache. Sorry.)

Regarding File:Davis-Fisher-Springfield Nelson.jpg and File:Joe-Kopp-2015-Finale Nelson.JPG, I see a number of problems that is going to eventually lead to the files being deleted. The basic problem is that the photographer, Brian J. Nelson, has retained copyright and has not released the images under a free license for Wikipedia to copy and redistribute. He has asserted full copyright in the EXIF data of the photos.

You wrote "Author: Brian J. Nelson, Fair use by explicit permission from the author", but this is a contradiction. Fair use means you are exercising the right to copy an image without permission for purposes such as "commentary, search engines, criticism, parody, news reporting, research, and scholarship." It makes no sense for Nelson to give "explicit permission" for fair use, because nobody needs permission for that. That's the whole point of fair use. It would make sense for Nelson to say, "I retain copyright, but I can't stop you from claiming fair use".

The list of reasons why Wikipedia would accept an image under fair use is at non-free content criteria policy,and none of them apply to these images. Pictures of motorcycles and racing events almost never would meed the Wikipedia fair use guidelines, which are quite strict. When you go to Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard and try to upload a file, it walks you through all the possible avenues for fair use (such as a copy of a company logo) and you'll hit dead ends everywhere if you answer the questions factually about the images File:Davis-Fisher-Springfield Nelson.jpg and File:Joe-Kopp-2015-Finale Nelson.JPG. It is totally practical for us to go take a picture of Davis Fisher or Joe Kopp. They're not dead and the appear in public frequently. Similarly, it's totally feasible to take a freely licensed picture of the Harley-Davidson XG750R. A simple rule of thumb is this is that fair use could only be considered if there were no way to obtain the images. Yes, it might take a bit of time and effort to get the pictures, but it's not impossible. Another Wikipedia fair use restriction is that we can't reasonably discuss a topic without including the image, hence the limit of using the image in only one article.

It is totally true that other media interpret fair use in a much more liberal way than Wikipedia. Many websites act as if fair use means they're free to copy anything they want as much as they want. But what they choose to do has no bearing on the Non-free content policy of Wikipedia, and that is why these images are very likely to be deleted, and probably soon.

So what we really need is for Brian J. Nelson to actually donate the images to Wikipedia, which means he has to agree to give up full copyright and instead re-license his images under a free license. The best, simplest way for him to to that is to create his own account at Wikimedia Commons and upload the images himself. If for some reason he does not want to do this, then we could use the more cumbersome process of WP:OTRS where he affirms via email to an Admin he is donating these images. This awkward process would have to be repeated for each image, and for any future images. Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials explains all this in greater detail.

That's the situation as I understand it. @Brianhe: or @Jmabel: might be able to correct me if I'm wrong about any of this, or clarify any points of confusion. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 03:16, 14 June 2016 (UTC) Dennis Bratland,Reply

You're right. I now need a glass of bourbon.
Nelson gave me explicit permission to use the images for Wikipedia, but I guess that isn't going to work.
I'll see what I can do.
Thanks for your help.
The description of the situation and the ways forward by Dennis above look completely correct to me. OTRS is the way to go if your friend doesn't want to create an account on Wikipedia Commons. I don't have anything else to add at this time. Brianhe (talk) 04:23, 14 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
Accurate except for the phrase "give up full copyright". What he is giving up is reservation of those rights, as in "all rights reserved". He remains the copyright holder, but is licensing rights. - Jmabel | Talk 14:30, 14 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

September 2016 edit

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Indian Motorcycle FTR 750 a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Smjg (talk) 12:09, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
