Hello, concerning your contribution, File:Redarowana.jpg, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a direct copy from {{{url}}}. As a copyright violation, File:Redarowana.jpg appears to qualify for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. File:Redarowana.jpg has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If the source is a credible one, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GFDL, you can comment to that effect on [[Talk:Image:Redarowana.jpg]]. If the article has already been deleted, but you have a proper release, you can reenter the content at File:Redarowana.jpg, after describing the release on the talk page. However, you may want to consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia.

This applies also to the images Image:CrossbackArowana.jpg and Image:Rtgarowana.jpg. All are copyright violations from http://aquapets.com.tw/arindex.htm, although the site where you found them incorrectly claims they are in the public domain. --Ginkgo100 ^talk 22:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Reponse from my talk page (copied): The question in this case is whether you have permission from the copyright owner to use the images on your website, or whether you yourself are now the copyright owner. If you only have permission, you don't have the authority to put a free license on the images. If you are the copyright owner, then you can release the images under the GFDL, under Creative Commons, or to the public domain. In this case, however, you would have to show you are the copyright owner. You can get more information at the copyright policy page. If you have questions, ask on that page's talk page, or at the help desk, as I am no expert. --Ginkgo100 ^talk 21:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Copyrights again

You recently uploaded a number of images from your image website. You have claimed before that you are the owner of the website, and I read your legal disclaimer. However, that disclaimer does not suggest you actually know the copyright status of any of your images — only that you "intend" to use only free images. Also, the submit form doesn't even ask for copyright information. Please do not upload images from your website, as Wikipedia cannot accept any image without being certain it truly has a free license.

If you continue to upload these images, you may be blocked for vandalism. --Ginkgo100^talk 21:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
