Orphaned non-free image File:Example Playing In The Shadows Packshot.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Example Playing In The Shadows Packshot.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 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).

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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:34, 11 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi there

This is incredibly frustrating. I work for Example (the artist) and Ministry of Sound (the brand). All I am trying to do is update his profile image with an official image that we hold the rights to. For Ministry of Sound, i am trying to update some grossly out of date information about our brand. Please stop blocking me.

If you are the copyholder of the image, which means that a) You took the picture and b) you made the edition, and/or c) You ordered somebody to do so, contact WP:OTRS via e-mail, and prove that you are the owner of those rights. Otherwise the image still being copyrighted and cannot be used beyond the album's page. Copyright violations are serious here and if you continue with this you will be blocked. Working for him or the band doesn't grant you copyright premissions by default. The next time you replace a free image with a copyrighted one you will be reported to an administrator. Tbhotch.

Also I recommend you to read Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Help, Wikipedia:Autobiography and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 01:50, 6 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:DJ Fresh Official Press Shot.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:DJ Fresh Official Press Shot.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. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:08, 25 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Dj fresh.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Dj fresh.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 16:54, 24 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
