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 Wikimedia Commons (guide here).

Reviewing requests

If you are an experienced 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.

• The image was included at http://popapimple.wordpress.com/2009/10/ But I cannot see any evidence of public domain anywhere, can you please supply a link to proof of the licence? Many other images here do not look free and so I suspect the Orkut image is not either. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:24, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

The link does not work for me. In addition, we cannot accept copyrighted content. Please indicate whether this image is either Public Domain or copyrighted (it cannot be both, as you have claimed). If there is no reply within 7 days, this request will be declined.  fetchcomms☛ 16:18, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

The link works ok for me. Try again or here is a backup image http://tinypic.com/r/20rtq8/6 It's public domain. sorry for the confusion.

There is no indication that it is PD - without a clear indication that it is, we have to assume it's copyrighted. – ukexpat (talk) 18:11, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

What kind of proof do you need that I own the image and the design and my company has released this as PD? If you can provide me with your contact info I can get you the additional information offline. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scott3490 (talk • contribs) 09:14, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

You can either a. put a notice on the site stating clearly that this particular image is public domain or you can b. go email our OTRS team. The directions to do so and the format for the email is this link.  fetchcomms☛ 00:36, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Please supply the full url to the license information. Also, "newsboys" is not a valid license. I cannot access the link, so I cannot verify whether the image is copyrighted or not either. If these issues have not been addressed within seven (7) days, this request will declined.  fetchcomms☛ 00:39, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

The image must be stored somewhere on the internet before we can upload it. Also, there must be some indication of a free license; therefore I recommend using flickr. Please link to the image here once you have uploaded it. Robert Skyhawk ^{So sue me!} (You'll lose) 00:02, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

GoodNitesboy.jpg

Description: This is the current product packaging for the GoodNites® product line. This image was created in 2009 by Kimberly-Clark Worldwide Inc.

URL: http://ak.buy.com/db_assets/large_images/329/211906329.jpg

License:

Link To License Information: http://www.goodnites.com/na/

Author/Copyright Holder's Name: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.

Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: This image is to be used on the article GoodNites, to replace the image presently in use, located at the following URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Goodnitesboy.jpg. The image in use at present was uploaded almost five years ago, is outdated, and no longer depicts the product's packaging accurately. The image in the aforementioned link should be orphaned and deleted, and this image should be used to replace it. Fair use rationale is detailed below.

=== Fair use for GoodNites ===
   Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the   
   stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:
   # It accurately illustrates the current packaging of the GoodNites product line.
   # It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable 
   encyclopedic value.
   # The image is used to visually depict the product when purchased from an online retailer, such as 
   Buy.com.
   # It is a low resolution image, suitable for use in an encyclopedic article, but unsuitable for 
   duplication.
   # The image is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the 
   article was written or endorsed by Kimberly-Clark Worldwide Inc.
   # It is a suitable replacement for an image that is no longer relevant, and no longer accurately 
   depicts the packaging of the product in question.
