Images missing source or license information may now be "speedied"

Place either:

or

on the image description page to put the image in the appropriate category. After being tagged for 7 days, the image will be eligible for speedy deletion per criterion 4 for images.

Please also notify the uploader so they get a chance to fix the problem(s) (the templates {{image source|Image:Image name.ext}} and {{image copyright|Image:Image name.ext}} are made for this purpose, but feel free to write a message of your own). It is not necessary to warn the uploader about every individual image if they have uploaded several such images, but at least one message telling them that images without source/license will be deleted should be given to each (active) user who risk "losing" images because of this (fairly new) rule.

This page is for listing and discussing images that are used under a non-free license or have disputed source or licensing information. Images are listed here for 14 days before they are processed.

Instructions

Before listing, check if the image should be listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems (if its source is known and it cannot be used under a free license or fair use doctrine) or at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion (if it's simply unneeded).

To list an image on this page:

  1. Place one of the following tags on the image description page:
    • {{PUIdisputed}} — If the source or copyright status is disputed.
    • {{PUInonfree}} — If the image is only available under a non-free license.
  2. Contact the uploader by adding a message to their talk page. You can use {{subst:idw-pui|Image:filename.ext}} (replace filename.ext with the name of the image). If the editor hasn't visited in a while, consider using the "E-mail this user" link.
  3. Add "{{unverifiedimage}}" to the image caption on articles the image is on. This is to attract more attention to the deletion debate to see what should be done.
  4. List the image at the bottom of this page, stating the reasons why the image should be deleted.

Listings should be processed by an administrator after being listed for 14 days.

Note: Images can be unlisted immediately if they are undisputably in the public domain or licensed under an indisputably free license (GFDL, CC-BY-SA, etc.—see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for more on these). Images which claim fair use must have two people agree to this.

Holding cell

These images have been listed for at least 14 days. Images which have been determined to be acceptable may be removed from this page.

Yep, it's by Reuters. -Elmer Clark 11:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The license tag is now changed to Attribution (which is more correct), but the source does not mention the right to make derivative works. ND-licenses are not allowed on Wikipedia. --Kjetil_r 15:25, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Tag has now been changed to fair use but...I still don't buy it. First of all, it's 975x649, which I somehow doubt is significantly lower quality than the original. I also am not too happy with the idea of using images with URLs prominently displayed on them. Doesn't that constitute advertising, if nothing else? I still dispute this image's licensing. -Elmer Clark 20:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Original image is much higher resolution - this is a lower resolution image made for the web. Photo is specifically for promotional purposes, directly from Westfield. As there is no other available photo submitted to Wiki, this seemed appropriate. The URL on the car in the picture is not prominent, but the image can be modified to remove the information. Really no different than a direct external link to the Westfield Sportscars website which currently exists on the main Westfield listing.

  • Image:Canton10 Herzeg Bosnia.gif - The image has not been indentified by the author. Seems that it has been taken online from: worldstatesmen which states that everything is under copyright. Files can only be purchased and the author must give approval for its use.

Copyright and permission information
We the webmasters of this site do not necessarily hold any claim to images or text in this site, unless noted otherwise. The various contributors to this site assert that use of any copyrighted material is under the United States fair use doctrine.
In other words, AllEmpires.com has no clue about where this image came from, who the copyright holder is, what its copyright status is, and so forth. There is no evidence that the copyright holder has released all rights to this image. —Bkell (talk) 01:01, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image:Birolli nudo.jpg: Claimed PD, but according to the Renato Birolli article it was painted in 1941 by an artist who died in 1959, and no evidence is given that this painting is really in the public domain. —Bkell (talk) 18:00, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Tag has been changed to {{PD-art}}, which claims "The two-dimensional work of art depicted in this image is in the public domain in the United States and in those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 100 years." But, as pointed out before, the artist died in 1959, so we have another 53 years until {{PD-art}} is appropriate. —Bkell (talk) 15:19, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    We could claim fair use - given the low resolution of the image, and the fact we are using it to indentify the artist in question, and we are using just a single image of his art. Ideally we should discuss the piece within the article. The PD claim for the photograph on the artist's page is somewhat dubious. Megapixie 16:59, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think it would really be fair use in the article on the author. You should probably write a separate article on the painting, put the image there and link to it from the artist's article. The other option is to mention the painting and provide an external link. -Nv8200p talk 17:49, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Listings

New images should be listed in this section, under today's date. Please be sure to tag the image with an appropriate PUI tag, and notify the uploader.

Brazleton gave me permission to use it via a forum discussion of the page it is on. If I could find the post I'd give you a link, but do to the changes in the site, i think the post is lost.

Yes the photo is of a recent painting, but the painting was commissioned by the State of Texas and hangs in the Texas Capitol. SteveHopson 14:46, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
How do you know the State of Texas doesn't hold the copyright to the image? —Bkell (talk) 17:36, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Images owned by the State of Texas are copyrighted. As a derivative work, I doubt you could claim a CC license -Nv8200p talk 22:22, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- In the image's license, I have added a "fair use" rationale for articles about Governor Ann Richards. -Wikid77 15:20, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the CC license. SteveHopson 16:39, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the image was an edited version of that file. It wasn't taken by me... I'll edit it... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yshoulduknow (talkcontribs) .

I personally made this using GIMP 2.0, with my own hands from scratch. YSHOULDUKNOW123 23:42, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Then your name is James and you posted the picture here? Or your name is Chris L. and you posted the picture here? Quite a resume for a 12-year-old. —Wknight94 (talk) 03:32, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really did use GIMP to make it, it's a MOCK-UP of the original Apple one. Look at the font!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I USED FRUTIGER INSTEAD OF MYRIAD, WHICH IS WHAT APPLE USED!!! OMG! I MADE IT WITH GIMP! Don't believe me? Look at the Myriad (typeface) font's letter i, then look at the Frutiger font's i, then look at my image, and this official image from the show: http://media.arstechnica.com/journals/apple.media/itv.jpg. Now, do you believe me? If you don't, I don't know what else to tell you. YSHOULDUKNOW123 21:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OMG!!!! I JUST REALIZED, THAT SECOND SITE, THAT'S MY IMAGE THAT I MADE. I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING. OH MY GOD, YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE ME, BUT THEY MUST HAVE SEEN IT ON WIKIPEDIA AND TOOK IT. I'M SORRY YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE ME, BUT THAT IS MY IMAGE THAT I MADE ON BOTH OF THOSE SITES! YSHOULDUKNOW123 21:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I really do have a good resume (HA! I love making other peolpes stupid sarcasm and making it real). Look, the people from those sites, saw it here, and posted the image on their sites, because I listed the image as public domain. They used my image, which is fine, because it's public domain. I really don't know what else to say. I can't simply post my Photobucket account... I can't do anything about it... Believe me or not, I made it, and I think it should stay. Wait, I can mail the people from those sites... I'll post their e-mails when they respond to my e-mail I'm sending them... YSHOULDUKNOW123 22:04, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I made it on September 16, I made it for my old NSider thread about Apple, and it took me about 2 hours to make. YSHOULDUKNOW123 22:35, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Can you post a higher resolution version of the same image ? Say 1000 pixels wide - this would prove that you created the image. Megapixie 08:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
*Sure, here you are... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ITV_Black123.PNG YSHOULDUKNOW123 21:02, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - After taking a look at the images - the Chris L posting appears to have occured on September 18 - two days after the original image was uploaded to wikipedia. I can't find the image on the tech routlette site (could you provide a direct link ?). I'm inclined to side with YOUSHOULDKNOW - in that he produced the original image and the second higher resolution image. The images themselves are not outside of what someone could create in GIMP with a little time and work. The fact that the image appears to have been uploaded first to wiki - and then borrowed (perfectly legally) by several other sites- based on the PD tag attached to the image. Megapixie 17:57, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your vote on keeping the image! YSHOULDUKNOW123 03:35, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If these images are photographs of licens plates then they are derivative work and as such inherit the copyright of the original design. Therefor the licens of thes images depend on the licenses of the real licens plates (probably varies with state) but not on whatever license they may have been released under at [30]. This goes for all of the below images of licens plates as well.Lokal_Profil 10:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Worth noticing may be that User:Only a Few Seconds's only contributions are these PUI reports. Lokal_Profil 10:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The works of the State of New York are copyrighted. It is possible we could make a fair use claim but not in the only article the image was used US and Canadian license plates. I removed the image from that article and it is now orphaned -Nv8200p talk 17:41, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong. Only two people dispute it's use; one of the other people supports the use of this image. When a photo is taken of a books cover, the photographer is not claiming that he owns the copyright to the book cover, but he does own teh copyright to the image. I created the image, so I own the image. Some other points are, Church publications are not copyrighted, invoices/receipts from purchases are not copyrighted, and I also asked my parish priest (the owner of the document) if he would allow this image to be freely distributed, and he said yes (he then explained about the previous two points). So this image's copyright should not be disputed, and this image should not be deleted. - Ivan Kricancic 07:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt an invoice could be judged to be an "original work of authorship" as needed to qualify for copyright. I believe PD-ineligible would be the correct tagging. -Nv8200p talk 13:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I changed the tag to "PD-ineligible", as an invoice isn't copyrighted. But I did still leave the PUI tag on it. - King Ivan 07:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What are the specific terms of the permission you have for these images? -SCEhardT 05:27, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Permission was granted by the author allowing free use of the images on the condition the {{attribution}} tag was used. His email was forwarded to permissions at wikimedia dot org in May 2006. --ozzmosis 08:41, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
