Image copyright problem with Image:Starks.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Starks.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Flying Canuck 04:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Lickingthemanshead.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Lickingthemanshead.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -SCEhard T 04:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please STOP UPLOADING photos from the web

You have uploaded dozens of photos that you found on the web and marked them as PD (public domain) or NoRightsReserved. This is not correct — photos on the web are copyrighted and unusable by default unless you can find explicit written permission to the contrary (which is rare).

Many of the photos you have uploaded will likely have to be deleted; see the March 11 entries on WP:PUI.

Since you have persisted in uploading numerous copyrighted photos despite complaints (above), without even responding to the complaints, I have blocked you from editing Wikipedia for 1 week.

—Steven G. Johnson 23:28, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Steven johnson is only talking about 2 or 3 incorrectly tagged images. Most of the images were downloaded from the NBA photo store. Images from the NBA photostore are found throughout the Wikipedia.

After I am "unblocked" i will change the images to read copyright as follows

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide source information as evidence of ownership.

It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of promotional material

to illustrate the work or product in question; in the absence of free images that could serve such a purpose; on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Copyrights for more information.

Note that 31 images uploaded by Fearingly were listed on WP:PUI on March 11, in addition to the images complained about above (which I have restored after Fearingly deleted these complaints ... you shouldn't normally edit/delete other people's comments on a Talk page). Yes, it's possible that some of the images are fair use, but only if they are correctly sourced and tagged. There is no excuse for your continued uploading of incorrectly tagged images after repeated complaints, to which you didn't bother to respond. —Steven G. Johnson 19:04, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Bird Picture.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bird Picture.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. Mosmof 03:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Batsuit darknight.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Batsuit darknight.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use disputed for Image:Babelou.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Babelou.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Moe ε 07:43, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Kim Kardashian appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. Martial BACQUET 22:38, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
