I have tagged both of these images for deletion. They are duplicates of Image:IngridNewkirk.jpg and the licensing information you provided was incorrect. The image is a derivative of a non-free image image from a PETA website. If you did not take the original photograph or don't in some way own the copyright, it is probably inappropriate to tag it with a license tag releasing the copyright. BigDT 03:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- I noticed that after Image:IngridNewkirk.gif was deleted, you re-uploaded it and replaced the better image on PETA with this lower quality image. Also, you gave an invalid license - the photograph is obviously not a screenshot of a Wikipedia page. Is there a reason for these actions? There is already a higher-resolution image and any gif derived from that jpeg is just going to be of a lower quality. Further, since the image owned by PETA, uploading it as anything other than "fair use" is probably a copyright violation. BigDT 03:46, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- I am assuming you are one in the same with User:24.247.234.195. FYI, I replied to your concerns with colors at that talk page - User talk:24.247.234.195. BigDT 04:12, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
PETA
[edit]- Hi Allison, regarding the use of coporate logos on the PETA page, please read WP:L and the fair use rationale therein. For them to qualify they must "illustrate the organization, item, or event in question" and "other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. (i.e. the PETA logo is suitable for the PETA article and the KFC logo is suitable for the KFC article, but not vice versa.) Moreover, the guideline makes a specific point of warning against use in "contexts which are, taken as a whole, strongly negative toward the company". I'm pretty sure this qualifies. Please stop replacing these logos in the page without justification in policy. Thank you. Rockpocket 02:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Alison, please don't add corporate logos to PETA. We have strict rules about fair-use images on Wikipedia in order to comply with the law in the United States. See Wikipedia:Fair use. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 03:09, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
