Image permission problem with Image:Original DeBlieux photo.jpg

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Original DeBlieux photo.jpg I noticed that that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kmusgrave (talk) 09:23, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hold on a second

For those yearbook pictures, let me quote myself:

Wait, has no copyright as in has no copyright notice as required by US law at the time of publishing? If you can't find an explicit notice, the entire book would be {{PD-US-no notice}}

Pete Fountain

I just wanted to thank you for taking, uploading, and sharing under a free license Image:Pete Fountain at Delta Music Museum IMG 1216.JPG. What a great photo of Pete Fountain! I copied it to Wikimedia Commons, where it can be accessed by Wikipedias in other languages as well. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 17:49, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyrights

Billy, I have seen that the licensing of some of your image uploads have been questioned. Can I offer you a little insight into copyrights? Take, for example, Image:S.S. DeWitt of Tensas Parish, LA.jpg, which you recently uploaded. You state in the "Summary" section that:

The picture is a gift to me from Mrs. Hazel DeWitt for use on Wikipedia. She took the picture, and it is not under copyright

One thing you need to realize is that in the United States (where I presume that this image was taken) the act of creating the image creates a copyright. Mrs. DeWitt has a copyright on the work because as soon as she snapped the shutter button and exposed the film, the copyright was generated. Unlike in the past, the creator of an image — here Mrs. DeWitt — does not need to register a copyright or anything. What Mrs. DeWitt gave you was a print of her copyrighted photo. What she may have intended was to give you permission to use the photo. If so, she needs to explicitly give Wikipedia permission to use the photo, whether or not you own a copy of the photo (even if it's the only one).

So in general, when someone gives you a photo to use, the copyright owner (usually the person who took the photo) must specifically give Wikipedia permission to use it. Copyrights can be very complicated, so this advice probably won't apply in all situations. Hope this helps clarify some of this a little bit. — Bellhalla (talk) 14:42, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yearbooks

I see some of your yearbook images are up for deletion again. (E.g. Image:McCrery 07-04-2008 04;16;37PM.JPG.) I think folks are confused because they are tagged as GNU free documentation license, but if they are truly public domain in the US because copyright protection wasn't obtained at the time they were published under the laws that were in effect back then, then you should probably tag them as {{PD-US-no notice}}, right? That might help avoid confusion in the future. Hope this helps. Crypticfirefly (talk) 06:33, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources for television shows

I notice that you've been working on lots of television articles lately. Long-standing precedent says that imdb.com, tv.com, and any geocities.com pages are not reliable sources. There are lots of books that are very good sources. I own 2 books that I use for trivia contests that are very good for this purpose. One of these books is extremely good and highly reliable (at least I almost always found the same answer as the trivia contest answers). It has every single TV show from 1949 to 1979, even the hard-to-find Saturday morning cartoons and DuMont shows. The book is called "The Complete Encyclopedia of Television Programs: 1947-1979" by Vincent Terrace (ISDN 0-498-2488-1). We call it THE red book. While it's somewhat hard to find, I bought a second copy a few years ago. Reliable sources that quickly come to mind are Google Books, and NY Times. You might be able to find some old used book cheap at a used book store (old = perfect!). Royalbroil 05:27, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Commons

Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view previous uploads by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box (or see [1]). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!--OsamaKReply? on my talk page, please 02:52, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYK and reliable sources

DYK is a great way to provide the incentive to create good articles. Many of the articles you've created are interesting to me and other readers, but have had problems with sourcing. As much as I love IMDb, it's not a reliable source. Just like Wikipedia, the IMDb content can be edited by anyone. There are plenty of reliable sources -- books, magazines and newspapers -- that are available to support the claims made in the hook, and the DYK folks are pretty meticulous about checking. A hook only supported by IMDb is not going to fly. Make sure that every word in the hook is supported by a source; If you can't support every word in the hook with a reliable source, reword the hook so you can. You can approach this either way. You can start with reliable sources for a hook and not use IMDb. Or you can use IMDb as a starting point to give you details and then find sources to support the hook in reliable sources. Either way (or both), you'll create an article that is reliably sourced with a hook that's reliably sourced. Please let me know if I can help with this process and keep up the good work.

I would say that 90 percent of the Wikipedia selections on television are from IMBD and nothing else. Billy Hathorn (talk) 20:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't doubt that may well be true, but that doesn't make IMDb a reliable source. DYK has much tighter restrictions on verification of reliable sources, and the exclusive use of IMDb will prevent these articles from being accepted if reliable sources are not used. If you would like some assistance in finding reliable sources for your posts, I'm more than willing to help and point you to these sources. Alansohn (talk) 01:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
IMO we shouldn't feature articles that rely heavily on unreliable sources on DYK at all, whether or not the hook itself is supported by a better reference. Gatoclass (talk) 07:32, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pete Fountain photo

Hi. Your Image:Pete Fountain at Delta Music Museum IMG 1216.JPG has been listed for deletion discussion; see Commons deletion request and please comment. Did you take the photo of Pete Fountain or not? Thanks, -- Infrogmation (talk) 23:17, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Billy, I think the better question would be to ask what you took a picture of: Did you photograph Pete Fountain and his clarinet in person, posing in front of you? Or did you photograph a portrait that was located at the museum? — Bellhalla (talk) 23:36, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I took a poster cut-out of Pete Fountain in the Delta Music Museum.Billy Hathorn (talk) 05:59, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
