Glory Film Co. pictures i.e. File:PosterTheTroop.jpg

I have uploaded jpg images to support this page: <PosterTheTroop.jpg>, <PosterLights.jpg>, <PosterMovingMemories.jpg>, and <PosterTheGlow>. All content and images I upload are my photographs, or my graphics, i.e. created by me. All images I upload are free for use on Wikipedia. How do I go about confirming this fact in order to stop my images being removed. Please advise the form of words necessary. Thank you.

The notice tells you how to confirm permission. Eeekster (talk) 19:55, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Citizens Review Board for Copyright Police

From a quick glance here, Wikipedia needs a Citizens Review Board for their copyright police. In the alternative, new copyright police and/or a new copyright police chief are in order.Trojancowboy (talk) 14:09, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Better yet, just comply with policy instead of fighting it. Eeekster (talk) 19:53, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Hello, I uploaded .jpgs of a series of paintings today and they were all marked for speedy deletion and I was even issued a warning. I am sorry I did not realize that I was doing anything wrong. I have the artist's permission to use these images and thought I met the criteria under which I tagged them. I would appreciate it if you could tell me what needs to be done to keep these images up and remove the tag for speedy deletion. Included in the images are FishFerrisWheel.jpg RedSocks.jpg FearfulSymetry.jpg SecretLifeOfTurtles.jpg GettingReady.jpg KeepYourEyeOnTheBall.jpg and TheFairerHand.jpg PaulLouisM (talk) 02:33, 8 February 2012 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:RedSocks.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1[reply]

Hello, kibitzing here. I looked at one of these files. A message there tells you: Unless a link to a webpage with an explicit permission is provided, or an email from the copyright owner is sent or forwarded to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, the image will be deleted after Tuesday, 14 February 2012. Well, you either:
  • (a) point to a web page by the copyright owner that explicitly says that the image is either (i) released into the public domain or (more likely) (ii) is appropriately copyleft; or
  • (b) get the copyright holder to write to that email address, saying either of (i) or (ii) above.

Does anyone know the best procedure for trimming the ears of the Copyright Police? At least one of them seems to be quite abusive. The Copyright Police exist to keep Wikipedia from being sued but they seem to be doing a much better job of keeping editors from doing their job. Is there a reporting procedure for them?Trojancowboy (talk) 22:23, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
