Derivative work Garion96 (talk) 00:28, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I feel it is allowed as legitimate "fair use" for two reasons. First, there is no way to create a free zed card photo without actually showing one, and showing one will necessarily always include the photos it contains. Second, the article discusses the techniques of presentation on such cards (how they are made, what they contain, typical card sizes and layouts, etc), so I thought it fell under Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Acceptable_images points 4 and 7. I admit, though, that I uploaded this image before I knew how to properly use the fair-use wiki tags and failed to include that rationale; and I am happy to properly update it so, including "critical commentary" noting the different methods. Let me know what you think. --shift6 (talk) 06:58, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The photo clearly states e-mail permission was obtained. Copy of the e-mails between me and photographer (e-mail adresses removed against spam and what not):

Tagged for speedy deletion under CSD I3, improper license ("for use on Wikipedia only.") Kesac (talk) 02:21, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is NOT what it says, you are twisting the wording. It is merely stated that if a person wishes to use it outside of wikipedia he it is desireable that the photographer is contacted for further details as my contact with the photographer ONLY discussed usage on wikipedia. This is in line with the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, which states: "You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor." - for which the photographer can be contacted. I've made a minor change to the rationale to specify in which articles the photo is used. It meets all ten points as described in the non-free content guideline: No free equivalent (if you can find one tell me), respect for commercial opportunities (irrelevant in this case), minimal usage (two articles only, low res image), previous publication (Flickr.com), content (Wolphin, which is relevant to the articles), wiki media specific policy (meets the first two basic usage requirements, .jpg file as is desired), one article minimum (used in two), significance (Wolphin photos are rare and I suspect for most readers this would be the first good photo they'd ever see of one), restriction on location (as said, only used in Dolphin and Wolphin article), image description page (attributed, tagged and articles used in are mentioned).

"Uploader believes this to be a United Nations photograph" does not satisfy WP:NFCC#10a (attribution of copyright holder). —Remember the dot ^(talk) 02:16, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Attribution can rarely, if ever, be 100% certain on a historical photograph. This still fits all the requirements of Fair Use, as no free image could be found of the subject as she died decades ago - and was not widely photographed. In fact, no photos of her outside the trials are even known to exist. ON further looking, it appears Crown Copyright would be more likely of course, and that expires after 50 years - so the image is PD anyways.

Can we at the very least get information about where the picture came from? Did it come from a web site? A book? —Remember the dot ^(talk) 06:43, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This image is probably in the public domain, but there is hardly any source information, so I can't tell. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 02:19, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why would this be public domain? The original this scan came from is no older than 1954, when Pius X was canonized. Gimmetrow 08:00, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK then it's not in the public domain. I should have looked more closely. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 17:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Wilson beraldo.jpg

The description says public domain, but the tag says fair use. If it turns out that this image is not in the public domain, fair use should be fine, but the description really needs to be clarified. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 02:23, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Vladimir by klodt.jpg

This image was apparently non-free, and recently an entirely different image was uploaded over it. The new image contains a copyright notice in the image itself, but is marked as CC-BY-SA-3.0. The source web site also bears a copyright notice. Confirmation of permission is needed; instructions on how to do this are at WP:COPYREQ. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 06:33, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have an email from the owner of the site from which I've got an image granting me the permission to use any and all of his images under cc-by-sa-3.0 license. I uploaded plenty of his images to many articles already and I've got his note of appreciation for that as he loves to see his work being used for a noble purpose and contribute to the idea of free content. It would be more constructive on the part of the Remember the dot to ask the uploader, me, instead of going right to the deletion debate and referring to instructions on how to write emails with requests. I know how to write emails and ask for permissions. I've already done that a while ago. This just displays the bad attitude on the nominator's part. --Irpen 09:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously Keep as the permissions to license the image under cc-by-sa-3.0 were granted Alex Bakharev (talk) 09:32, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per above. —dima/talk/ 17:41, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- First, it is against policy to upload an entirely different image over an existing image. Second, we have no record of the permission. Without that record, we cannot confirm the CC-BY-SA-3.0 license. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 19:08, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - First, you can delete the unfree image from the history. The replacement allows to avoid looking for the image corpses in articles and replace the image name. Second, who is "we"? If you or anyone need to make sure the user gave me a permission, "instructions on how to do this" are here. --Irpen 19:30, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Unfortunately, especially in light of Essjay, we need firm confirmation to back up users' statements. The copyright holder needs to send an e-mail to permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org confirming the permission. Your word alone isn't sufficient. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 19:42, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - You have to remember who is granting who a favor. If you start sending out emails to copyright holders who do us a favor and require them to send an email somewhere you may get them annoyed. I can forward you or anyone a portion of his email to me. I specifically asked him which of the free licenses he prefers after he granted me a general permission and his answer was cc-by-sa, black on white. I am not eager to send out private emails but if you insist, I can excerpt a relevant fragment and forward it to you. --Irpen 19:51, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        You should forward your request for permission, the copyright holder's response, and the name of the image (Vladimir by klodt.jpg) as a single e-mail to permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org, where it will be kept in a secure, confidential database. I have also e-mailed the copyright holder asking him to e-mail that address to provide direct confirmation. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 06:30, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - About replacing non-free images: "Image corpses" are not created. The user who uploads the free image hopefully would replace the two instances of the non-free image with the free version. After that is done, the non-free image can be tagged for deletion. In this case, the non-free image was not tagged for deletion at all. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 19:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - Just delete the non-free image from file history and get it over with. --Irpen 19:51, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I think the picture should be kept on the Acorn Antiques article, as it is the only picture we have of Acorn Antiques. It is probably not required on the Victoria Wood page, and if the As Seen On TV article doesn't have a section about Acorn Antiques, it can be removed from there. ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 12:33, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is PUI - we already know that the image is unlicensed, so that isn't an issue. If you dispute whether the image qualifies for fair use, you can nominate it for WP:IFD or some other part of the deletion process. --B (talk) 07:24, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The source listed for this image is a fan blog that uses images that are copyright infringements. Unlikely that the blog owns the image. 71.167.235.18 (talk) 20:13, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Being unlikely is not grounds for deletion. The website clearly states that it is free use.--Joebengo (talk) 03:57, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I did a Google image search and this came up in the first page of results. The copyright clearly belongs to AP.--98.204.112.111 (talk) 04:58, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Marked as fair use, which would not be acceptable because of WP:NFCC#1 (replaceability), but Jpatokal reverted addition of a deletion tag saying "no replacement available and license has been granted". Permission to use on Wikipedia only is not an acceptable license. Please see WP:COPYREQ for information on how to properly obtain a release of copyright. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 20:41, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The image was uploaded by its creator, Chatchawal Phansopa (User:Zoowatch), and it's definitely intended for public release (see [1]). It is thus clear that it's not a copyright violation in any sense to have the image on Wikipedia. I do agree that the licensing should be clarified to GFDL/CC/PD, but unfortunately I've been unable to reach him at his last known e-mail address, zoowatch(at)hotmail.com.
