I'm gone. I've had enough of heavy handed moderation where hours of my work have been deleted without warning, then comes the warning. Where moderators, or should I call them wreckers get it wrong and threaten me or vandalise my work because they don't know the rules here, and of the pretensions of the wikipedia to be the new Encyclopedia Britannica. Too many rules for fools here, and unhelpful moderators who only tell you that you're wrong, even when they contradict policy here. |

== Re: Image tags == |
|||
The tags look okay, but they do have a note on them that they cannot be the only justification for an image being in the public domain. Since Wikipedia is based in the United States, it doesn't really matter to us that they're in the public domain in the EU. You might check into templates such as {{tl|PD-US-not renewed}}, {{tl|PD-US-1923-abroad}}, or more simply {{tl|PD-US}}. Additionally, make sure to provide the actual source of these images. Even if they are in the public domain, which I don't doubt, we need the source so that other editors may verify their status in the public domain.

|||
*I'm not sure why we have that tag, to be honest. However, I would note that in most countries, there are agreements such that if a work is copyrighted in one country, it is copyrighted in another. You might ask at [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions]] to get a few more folks to look at this one, because I'm stumped about what tag to pair with that one.

== Re: TV copyright == |
|||
The Copyright Office's website is http://copyright.gov/. From there, follow the "Search Copyright Records: Registrations and Documents" link to get to their database. |
|||
As for the iron strictness on copyright, that's simply the nature of modern copyright law. Screenshots and clips of old copyrighted shows are often posted on Youtube or forums without trouble usually because either the copyright holder doesn't care enough to go after violations, or the posting could be considered fair use. (This in turn can lead others to assume that things like the Riley shows are PD.) However, one of the core principles of the Wikimedia projects is [[free culture]] - the goal that material here should be free for anyone (not just Wikipedia itself) to use, for any purpose, without having to worry about sudden, unexpected copyright-infringement claims. Which means that the current rights-holder not bothering to sue anyone at the moment isn't sufficient grounds to include something. |
|||
That said, there's a fair amount of leeway for fair use, and using a screenshot in an article discussing the TV show certainly falls within that. I believe the main thing you need to do with the Riley image at this point is add an appropriate [[WP:ICT|non-free "license"]] tag, and templatize the rationale. Check [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] for guidance (I haven't uploaded non-free stuff in a few years, so I might be forgetting something). --[[User:Davepape|dave pape]] ([[User talk:Davepape|talk]]) 04:03, 10 May 2010 (UTC) |

[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left]] |
|||
Thank you for uploading [[:File:Jean_Colin.jpg]]. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the '''license''' and the '''source''' of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a '''[[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|copyright tag]]''' to the [[Help:Image page|image description page]]. |
|||
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Cyberia3}} your upload log]. |
|||
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]]. Thanks again for your cooperation.<!-- Template:Di-no license-notice --> [[User:Feydey|feydey]] ([[User talk:Feydey|talk]]) 17:47, 28 June 2010 (UTC) |

::If any of the photos I use are American originals with named photographers, produce the evidence. You can't because you're just hand waving. Who's going to threaten to sue the wikipedia over a tiny B&W photo over 70 years old? The ghost of some long dead actor? Has it not occurred to you that much of the information in the wikipedia is copied from copyrighted material from elsewhere? Go bother them. ([[User:Cyberia3|Cyberia3]] ([[User talk:Cyberia3#top|talk]]) 15:16, 11 May 2011 (UTC)) |
|||
:::Okay now I'm confused. First of all, it doesn't matter whether the original is American, British or Thai, every country has its own standards for when something enters public domain, and since Wikipedia is hosted in America, the copyright law we have to comply with on Wikipedia is US copyright law. Secondly, the burden of proof on Wikipedia isn't to prove that something IS copyrighted but to prove that it IS NOT public domain. So in general, whenever a user uploads material, they have to indicate where the material came from, and why they know it is under public domain. — [[User:Vikingviolinist|<font color="darkblue">VikingViolinist</font>]] | [[User talk:Vikingviolinist|Talk]] 21:24, 11 May 2011 (UTC) |

::If a British copyright (as in British and not any other country in the world) is taken out and it has expired, why should I investigate further? If the photos had been under American copyright, then an official magazine as in a wide selling Who's Who would have pointed out their copyrights or risked being in breach of copyright themselves. This was not some fan magazine produced in someone's back room but an ongoing annual product. As to US copyright, they would have to show that this photo had at some time in the past (over 70 years ago) once been copyrighted in America. I can't quite see a copyright lawyer spending a few days of his/her time checking on images of Alexander Field (who?) to check this out. ([[User:Cyberia3|Cyberia3]] ([[User talk:Cyberia3#top|talk]]) 11:33, 12 May 2011 (UTC)) |
|||
International copyright law is complicated and confusing. I have yet to find a clear explanation of the U.S. copyright status of works such as the aforementioned photograph whose copyright has expired since 1996 in the country of (presumed) original publication. However, I think its use in a particular article could easily be justified as [[WP:Fair use|fair use]].

::I see this as a B cheek. WTH has America got to do with British copyright? Note the name BRITISH, and not British AND American copyright. If you want copyright in America, you must take out a copyright there. If you don't, tough luck because it is not copyrighted there. You and others like you are just making it hard for people to contribute here by throwing up unnecessary obstacles in their path. I know of several people who will no longer contribute to the wikipedia "because it is too much hassle". If the supplied tag is no good, then why is it not modified so it is of some use and does not require a second tag?([[User:Cyberia3|Cyberia3]] ([[User talk:Cyberia3#top|talk]]) 08:43, 20 May 2011 (UTC)) |

:That is MY forum. As the wikipedia is so paranoid about copyright, so that most actors now living have no photos of them, while some have photos of themselves often very elderly, as no one remembers them, I am posting photos of them on MY forum so that people can use the links and see what they actually looked like in their prime, as they are remembered. (Example: Look at the colour photo of Roger Moore on his wiki page. Do you remember him like that, when he played The Saint and James Bond?) |
|||
As I managed 15 photos on the first page alone, many links will look exactly the same, but will only be noticed if someone like yourself is following all the posts I have made recently. To the average browser, they will maybe see one of my links if they want to see what an actor looks like. What good is an encyclopedia with actors in but no photos of them? |
|||
I just waded through the link you gave and I think this applies in my favour: |
|||
'''What can normally be linked''' |
|||
3. Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject and cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues,[2] amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks), or other reasons. |

I can't remember having ever received that from a moderator here. They usually start with arrogant threats on what they are going to do to my work here.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:File:Kazar 1.jpg]]'''. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under [[WP:NFCC|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 [[:File:Kazar 1.jpg|the file description page]], and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|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 "[[Special:Contributions/Cyberia3|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 on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion --> If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

<span style="font-size:32px; line-height:1em">'''[[Image:Ambox warning blue.svg|35px|left|⚠]]'''</span> Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Philip Latham.jpg]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]].

If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|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 [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]). |

A tag has been placed on [[:Doc West (film)]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Business]] for more information. |
|||
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit '''[[Talk:Doc West (film)|the page's talk page directly]]''' to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these administrators]] to request that the administrator [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or email a copy to you. <!-- Template:Db-spam-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Oddbodz|Oddbodz]] ([[User talk:Oddbodz|talk]]) 21:50, 3 December 2011 (UTC) |

Hi. I see that you added information to numerous articles today without citing your sources. One of these was [[:Binnie Hale]], but you did not [[WP:cite|cite]] a [[WP:Reliable source|reliable source]] for the information. Therefore, I removed the information. If you can cite your source for the information, feel free to re-add it with the citation. Please see these guidelines for more information: [[WP:Cite]] and [[WP:Reliable source]]. Other editors may remove the other unreferenced information that you added, unless you add appropriate citations. This encyclopedia depends on citations to published sources. I strongly recommend that you review our main content policy about this: [[WP:V]]. Thanks! -- [[User:Ssilvers|Ssilvers]] ([[User talk:Ssilvers|talk]]) 22:21, 5 March 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:Note that I have reverted the addition of the unsourced content to the all of the articles you edited today. Any of your edits can be restored with the inclusion of a reference that meets Wikipedia's [[WP:RS|reliable sourcing]] criteria (note that user generated websites such as IMDB, NNDB, and other online compendia-style sites do not meet this criteria). --[[User:Ponyo|<b><font color="Navy">''Jezebel's''</font></b><font color="Navy">Ponyo</font>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ponyo|<font color="Navy">''bons mots''</font>]]</sup> 22:45, 5 March 2012 (UTC) |

::I can't be bothered any more. You craphead moderators on wikipedia are all vandals, wrecking the work of others. Did you think I'd made it all up for a laugh? As before I used a British 1932 Who's Who on the Screen and you only had to ask but instead you vandalise my work by removing it all, as always. I repeat, you're all crapheads. Close my account. I will never post anything on the wikipedia again. I can't stand your petty stupidness any more.([[User:Cyberia3|Cyberia3]] ([[User talk:Cyberia3#top|talk]]) 14:03, 6 March 2012 (UTC)) |

:::If you have a source then you need to state it so that others can [[WP:V|verify]] the information. It's much simpler to "say where you got it" as you're adding the material than for others to try to track it down weeks, months, or years later. You're welcome to edit here, but there are some [[WP:5P|core policies]] that need to be adhered to in the process. On a procedural note, there is no official closing of accounts, you can just stop editing and possibly place <nowiki>{{Retired}}</nowiki> on your userpage if you would like. In this way you can return to editing in the future if you choose and won't need to start from scratch.

I am not a moderator. I'm just another editor like you. If you add [[WP:Citations]] to the sources you use (author, title, date, publisher's name, and page number or url), then the information you add will be viewable on this encyclopedia, and you will have contributed something that will be used and admired by many, many people. When you started editing here, someone sent you the link at the top of this page to our editing tutorial. If you read the links at the top of this page, you will learn a lot about how to contribute successfully to the encyclopedia. All the best! -- [[User:Ssilvers|Ssilvers]] ([[User talk:Ssilvers|talk]]) 04:24, 7 March 2012 (UTC) |

Revision as of 07:03, 17 March 2012
I'm gone. I've had enough of heavy handed moderation where hours of my work have been deleted without warning, then comes the warning. Where moderators, or should I call them wreckers get it wrong and threaten me or vandalise my work because they don't know the rules here, and of the pretensions of the wikipedia to be the new Encyclopedia Britannica. Too many rules for fools here, and unhelpful moderators who only tell you that you're wrong, even when they contradict policy here.
