License tagging for Image:Jim Carroll - Seattle WA - September 2000 - Photo by Eric Thompson.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jim Carroll - Seattle WA - September 2000 - Photo by Eric Thompson.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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 22:07, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Jim Carroll image

Hi, I'm relatively new this whole wikipedia editing thing, but it looks like you removed the picture of Jim Carroll that I recently put up.

You noted "rm unlicensed image", however the page where I got this image expressly states that "This photo may be reprinted as long as the photographer is credited." Which I plainly did. And on another page says "You may reprint any of these photos provided that you credit the photographers."

If I'm missing something, please let me know. I'll be putting up the photo again in the meantime, I hope it works out.

edit - I realize now that I may not have included all the relevant copyright information when uploading the image, I'll try to be more detailed this time around. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zerohourminuszero (talk • contribs) 22:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC).

Okay, the tag you are looking for is {{attribution}}. You just type that into the description box when you upload the image, and do not choose a license from the license selector.

The reason the previous images were deleted is that you indicated we have permission to use the images on Wikipedia only, which we don't support. Stifle (talk) 10:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Conan O'Brien bumper.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Conan O'Brien bumper.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 may 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) 13:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Max weinberg seven.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Max weinberg seven.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:23, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
