License tagging for Image:Judge Floro.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Judge Floro.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Judge Floro.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Judge Floro.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. The Evil Spartan 17:02, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your image Image:Judge Floro.jpg is in fact in the wrong namespace. If you want to write an article on the man, please do so in the main namespace, such as Judge Floro. The image page is meant only to show the license of the image. The Evil Spartan 18:30, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Continual reversions

Please stop reverting Image:Judge Floro.jpg. I've already explained to you several times that this is not the article space, and this page needs to have license information which you have failed to provide. The Evil Spartan 23:43, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear evil spartan,

Pardon me for I'm not familiar with wiki system. You can delete my (one) work for now and advise me (direct link) on where to right post about judge floro.

Regards, Bhilly BhillyCastro 09:00, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the licence to public domain on behalf of the other user. If your content is well sourced and verifiable, you shouldwrite it in the article space, just type the name of the article in the search box to the left of this page, and if no article exists you can create it. -- lucasbfr ^talk 11:11, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Advice on uploading images

Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.

Pick an image name.

When uploading an image, pick a file name that is descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.

Source the image.

On the image description page, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.

Provide copyright and license information.

This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.

If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like Photoshop or GIMP, then you own the copyright. To upload it to Wikipedia, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.) Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like {{GFDL}} or {{PD-self}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{PD-self}}, you may also want to use {{NoRightsReserved}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.

If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content. This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Wikipedia", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use". Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under fair use, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.

Describe the image.

To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

Drawing board

Hello. I have responded to your post on the Drawing board. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 23:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I replied on the Drawing board. Judge floro is a friend of mine and since i am not familiar with wiki system, i thought i could create articles with judge, and so i posted his picture, instead of mine. funny me. please help delete the judge picture into my user name so people will not mislead that we are the same person. I don't know how to do it. And hopefully judge floro will have a new article at wiki. Thanks

BhillyCastro 03:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. You certainly can create an article about the judge... and you can upload images too, just so long as the copyright and licensing issues are all straight. If, for example, you had taken that photograph yourself, then you could upload it and license it under the GFDL or even under the Public domain. In this case the judge asserts that he owns the image (one assumes either he paid the photographer or the photographer gave it to him) and has stated that he's released it into the public domain; so that image is not an issue.

You can't delete the image yourself because only administrators can delete things from Wikipedia. And to address something you mentioned on the Drawing Board, only users with "Checkuser" permission can see a registered user's IP address— you're actually more anonymous with a username than if you edited from an IP address.

I'm not an administrator myself, so I can't delete the image either. But closer examination of both your and the judge's edit histories shows edits pretty close together in time— not impossible, but unlikely for you to the same person logging in and out between accounts. At first glance it seemed odd that you would be editing the judge's userpage and that he would be editing the description pages of the images you had uploaded.

You two seem to be working in pretty close collaboration, which brings up another point; the conflict of interest guideline I mentioned before. The writing of autobiographies is discouraged because of the difficulty in maintaining the neutral point of view policy that is one of the foundational pillars of Wikipedia. Do you think you're far enough detached from the judge to keep from tripping over these policies? If not you might want to take your information over to Articles for creation, though they have a pretty big backlog over there.

I see another editor has left you a welcome template. Use it and read the articles linked from it; especially in the "Getting started" and "Writing articles" sections. The same editor also gave you a little essay about images with good links you should read too.

I do think the judge's biography has potential to be a nice, interesting article and hopefully we'll be able to get it written. Cheers!—Elipongo (Talk contribs) 06:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the long explanation.

Cheers, too. BhillyCastro 11:19, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Judge Floro.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Judge Floro.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA 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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file 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}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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 created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Redsky89 (talk) 18:48, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
