Wikipedia:Files for upload

Welcome to Files for Upload, part of WikiProject Articles for creation. This process was created to allow unregistered users to add new files to Wikipedia with the assistance of experienced Wikipedians. If you would like to upload an image yourself, you can create an account and after four days and 10 edits you will be autoconfirmed and able to upload files. However, please consider uploading free files over at the Wikimedia Commons (instructions for creating an account there can be found here).

Reviewing requests

If you are an experienced and autoconfirmed editor, then you can help out by reviewing requests. Make sure you're familiar with Wikipedia's policies on non-free content (or simplified version). Learn about Wikipedia's various copyright tags. Read the guide on how to review file upload requests. Note that this page's editnotice contains an expandable cheat sheet with all the templates used in reviewing requests. After uploading the file tag its talk page with {{subst:WPAFCF}}. Remember to subst all templates. Notify the requester at their talk page using {{subst:ffu talk}} ~~~~ whenever you act on their request. You are responsible for anything you upload, so make sure you are comfortable that the file satisfies Wikipedia's policies first. If the file is non-free, then you must insert the file in the appropriate article right away in order to comply with the non-free content criteria.

Author/Copyright Holder's Name: Marc Quinn

Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: Fair Use for current event. The copyright item in question is the statue - the photograph is my own work, which in keeping with UK copyright law for purposes of news reporting is cropped to show only the subject, and kept as small as possible. For use in "A Surge of Power (Jen Reid) 2020"

Hi AlexJRichards. Since you took the photo, and UK law has Freedom of Panorama for sculptures (see [1]), you may upload the photo to Wikimedia Commons yourself. Please go to c:Special:UploadWizard and follow the instructions, then reply here. Best, --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 22:04, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Mdaniels5757, the fullsize image is already used on the article A_Surge_of_Power_(Jen_Reid)_2020, however unfortunately because of the oddities of UK copyright law, there is a deletion request due to the vague defintion around "permanently situated" statues, see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:A_Surge_of_Power_(Jen_Reid)_15th_July_2020.jpg someone mentioned uploading via this with a smaller/cropped version with justification for fair use. AlexJRichards (talk) 22:13, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Understood. On hold until the Commons DR is closed. --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 17:51, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

@AlexJRichards: Wikipedia’s non-free content use policy is much more restrictive than the concept of fair use. So, any photo of the statue uploaded locally under a license of {{Non-free 3D art}} would almost certainly be only considered acceptable to use in A Surge of Power (Jen Reid) 2020 per item 6 of WP:NFC#UUI. Trying to use the file in other articles which mention the sculpture as part of a discussion about a “current event“ most likely wouldn’t be considered policy compliant. Before anyone uploads such a file as non-free, I think it should be clarified as to exactly which article or articles the file is going to be used in and how the use is justified per relevant policy. — Marchjuly (talk) 22:13, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Should we really just upload all the items in the album?

Note that the IP will probably not respond considering its contributions. You can help by answering this. ~ Ase1este_{charge-parity}^time 16:10, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

The picture seems to be from Wiki[pm]edia itself, judging by the "wp-content" substring in the URL. ~ Ase1este_{charge-parity}^time 05:11, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Error. "wp" stands for WordPress. ~ Ase1este_{charge-parity}^time 05:29, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Comment: I cannot seem to find information about its public domain status. Please fill in "Link To License Information" if possible.~ Ase1este_{charge-parity}^time 05:50, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

• Comment: I think this falls under Crown copyright, since the UK is not the US, and works produced by officials of the UK fall under Crown copyright. This being the work of the RAF, it should be such. As a WWII unit, it may have expired already, with the 50-year limit, unless it is considered unpublished before 1988 in which case it doesn't expire until 2040. Does the requestor know if this is considered published material? NOTE, this is not PD-author, it could be PD-old -- 65.93.183.33 (talk) 05:46, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

JunoSospita, the picture cannot be uploaded under fair use until the draft article is accepted because such pictures can only be used in article space.

Try getting the draft accepted first. ~ Ase1este_{charge-parity}^time 19:26, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
