Replaceable fair use File:Schloss Leopoldskron from Lake.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Schloss Leopoldskron from Lake.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:12, 18 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:SalzburgGlobalSeminarLogo2013.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:SalzburgGlobalSeminarLogo2013.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File permission problem with File:StephenSalyer2010.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:StephenSalyer2010.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 created 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. Stefan2 (talk) 13:36, 19 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Additional problems with File:SalzburgGlobalSeminarLogo2013.jpg

edit

Hey, Hyppolyta! I've noticed another problem with this file; on Flickr, the image is licensed under the CC-BY-NC-ND license. Although it's a Creative Commons license like Wikipedia's, it's actually a version that's more restrictive than Wikipedia's license, CC-BY-SA. Basically, the difference is that Wikipedia's license allows any use or reuse, including commercial use or creation of derivative works, as long as those works are also released under CC-BY-SA. CC-BY-NC-ND, on the other hand, doesn't allow reuse for commercial purposes, and it doesn't allow the creation of derivative works. These two additional restrictions make the image's license incompatible with Wikipedia. You can still use the image under the non-free content criteria, but those are very restrictive in what they allow, which is why your first version was nominated for deletion. For instance, a non-free image must be currently used in an article; it can't just be uploaded for future use. Don't worry about it too much, though; mistakes like this happen all the time, and it's not that big a deal. Wikipedia just has to be very particular about copyright issues, since it's a thing that Wikipedia itself can get into legal trouble for. If you have more questions, the Teahouse is a great place to ask for friendly help and advice. Thanks! 208.87.234.180 (talk) 14:16, 19 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Salzburg Global Seminar Logo.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:Salzburg Global Seminar Logo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

  • state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
  • add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Ushau97 talk 09:32, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Fair use...or "non free images"

edit

Yes, that is correct. You cannot use a fair use image in your sandbox or on any personal space. I found that out the same way, by moving an article from the mains space to my sandbox to work on.

If you need some assistance in uploading the new image let me know. I will assist you.--Amadscientist (talk) 19:44, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (File:Schloss Leopoldskron from Lake.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:Schloss Leopoldskron from Lake.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 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:37, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
