Image:Hooverdambypass.jpg listed for deletion

edit
Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Hooverdambypass.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it, but use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. — Saxifrage 06:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
It looks like someone else has taken care of it! Anything produced by the US Federal government is released into the public domain. When you said "with permission" in the upload form, Wikipedia took this to mean that permission was being given to only Wikipedia and that's why it showed up on my list of problem images. (FYI, since Wikipedia material is used outside Wikipedia, when only Wikipedia has permission to use something it causes headaches for us and other people who use our stuff. That's why "with permission" is generally a problem.) Thanks for the image! — Saxifrage 21:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fair use images in user space

edit

Hello. It might be a good idea to remove the copyrighted album and dvd covers from your user page, since fair use images should not be used in the user space according to Wikipedia:Fair use criteria #9. Thanks. Khatru2 08:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

done! thanks for the info! Jailbreaker22 20:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Do not delete template request

edit

Unfortunately, this can not be carried out. The policy is that an author requesting a page not be deleted does not automatically stop deletion, and creating a template saying otherwise will not circumvent it. If you think it is a good idea, you should discuss it at Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy first, andestablish a consensus that such a thing should be made. If the policy is changed, the template can be made. -Amarkov blahedits 02:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • There is one exception: If a page is nominated for speedy deletion, the author may place a {{hangon}} tag on the article and explain their rationale for non-deletion on the talk page. This does not guarantee an admin will not delete your article if they believe it qualifies under the criteria for speedy deletion. Don't try to use a template, but you can post a message on the talk page explaining your reason for keeping, and asking to contest any proposed speedy deletion and take the decision to articles for deletion for a full hearing. Ideally though, if you find a lot of articles you make get deleted, perhaps you should review what Wikipedia is not before creating more. --Dgies 07:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

What page is it that you've created twice? I'd be happy to take a look at it and tell you why it may have been deleted. EVula // talk // // 15:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Acdctntcover.jpg)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Acdctntcover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Well done

Just thought I'd say great work in getting permission for that AC/DC line-up picture. Well done! ĤĶ51Łalk 18:28, 9 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

no problem! that's why i'm here! Jailbreaker22 17:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

RE: problems

edit

I think the problem was that there wasn't any proof you had permission for it. I'm sure there would be no problems if you perhaps provided proof that you did in fact gain permission to release it into the public domain? How did you gain permission to use it? Best of luck to you. ĤĶ51Łalk 20:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Reply


Fair use rationale for Image:Acdcplugmein.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Acdcplugmein.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ac-dcsuptouredition.JPG

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Ac-dcsuptouredition.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.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Acdcstiffupperlipalbum.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Acdcstiffupperlipalbum.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
