Copyright status of File:V S Sampath.jpg

You asked about File:V S Sampath.jpg in the IRC help channel and said it has been released into the public domain. I see no indication that's correct. The website you took the image from explicitly bears a copyright tag, not a note that its content is in the public domain. "Published on the internet" is not the same as "in the public domain". Huon (talk) 20:10, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. I looked it up, and I doung this: http://eci.nic.in/delim/Copyright/Copyright.asp - Does wikipedia's usage not fall under "reference" ? LogicDictates ^{(talk) • (Contrib)} 20:29, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Possibly, but that's not enough. Wikipedia requires images (with some exceptions that don't apply here) to be released under a free license that allows everybody to re-use and modify them for any purpose, including commercial purposes. This is particularly true of the Wikimedia Commons, where you uploaded the image; they don't take non-free images under any circumstances. Even if that image's license explicitly allowed use on Wikipedia but forbade commercial re-use or modification, we'd consider it "not free enough" and would not be able to use it. Huon (talk) 20:40, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

OK, In that case, please delete it or (if possible & allowed), please move it to wikipedia - I do not know how to do either. Thanks for your time and effort. LogicDictates ^{(talk) • (Contrib)}

As I said, the exceptions that allow some non-free images on Wikipedia don't apply here. For living persons like Sampath we assume that a freely licensed image could be produced; thus the first of the non-free content criteria prohibits use of a non-free image of him on Wikipedia. It's already tagged for deletion and will be deleted in a couple of days. Huon (talk) 21:29, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:GSLV Mk2D3 Cryo Engine.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:GSLV Mk2D3 Cryo Engine.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. 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 any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 03:00, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
