Image Tagging Image:Benji pinkshock3.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Benji pinkshock3.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 15:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Image:Mtv3 550x410.jpg article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! --Yamla 15:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:OPI.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 15:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Image problems

edit

You have a number of problems with all of the images you have uploaded. You have either forgotten to specify the source, not specified a license, incorrectly claimed {{NoRightsReserved}}, or have forgotten to include a mandatory detailed fair-use rationale for the images. Image copyright and fair use can be a real pain to get right and I and other editors would be quite happy to help you determine the correct licensing information, etc. However, in the meanwhile, can you please refrain from uploading images until you are sure you have things under control? Thanks. --Yamla 15:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Also, please do not use {{PD-ineligible}} which clearly means something different than you think it means. --Yamla 15:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
I see you just uploaded Image:Duffandmadden.jpg. On what basis do you make the claim that the copyright owner has irrevocably released all rights to it? This almost never happens. --Yamla 21:55, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please do not remove the current warnings from this page. Thanks. --Yamla 21:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Don't worry

edit

I saw the recent test you did to this page. Don't worry, Wikipedia policies and guidelines can be rather frustrating when you are new. Sometimes it can be hard to figure out when I or other people leave warnings for you here that we are just trying to help you figure out what's required. Please don't take things personally. We are here to answer your questions. --Yamla 22:16, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
