Copyright Image

I uploaded a logo to play on a page but it continues to be dele based on not submitting copyright information. The work that keeps on getting deleted is my work. I was paid to do it and actually work for the organization that asked me to design the work. The organization approved the logo o created and has been usi it for 10 years or so. They never went forward with getting it copyrighted, so, there's no formal documentation on that.

I don't know what I need to do or say to not have my work taken down. VEDanculovich (talk) 08:10, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

First, you must declare as a paid editor, this is a Terms of Use requirement. Please see WP:PAID for instructions.

This is more of an issue for Commons, where you uploaded the image. If you are saying that you personally created the logo but did so as part of your job- that could mean that Racine County owns the logo, not you. I don't know what specific copyright laws Wisconsin might have; usually the works of local/county/state governments aren't in the public domain automatically(unlike the works of the US federal government which are) but there are exceptions to that. If it's not automatically in the public domain(as I suspect, though not certain) the County will need to expliclty release the logo under a license compatible with Wikipedia(allowing for reuse by anyone for any purpose with attribution). They may not want to do that if they don't have to by law. However, you could upload the logo to this Wikipedia locally under "fair use" rules(Commons cannot host fair use images). 331dot (talk) 08:17, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

VEDanchlovich I just realized, this is the talk page for the Help Desk, not the Help Desk itself. In the future, please post to the main Help Desk page. Eventually this conversation may be moved there. 331dot (talk) 08:19, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 5 September 2024

I'm not sure what you're trying to ask, but I've ended the temporary protection of the main Help Desk. 331dot (talk) 12:38, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

did you really end the protection? I can't edit when I'm logged in. When I'm logged out the page goes through the motions, I can enter my text, but not save. La Zy-Hart (talk) 22:34, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

The Help Desk is currently semi-protected due to disruption by a long term abuser, La Zy-Hart. Cullen328 (talk) 00:42, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

I opened a discussion about the Help desk header template

I'm pretty sure there's some kind of neutral discussion notice template I am supposed to subst here, but I couldn't find it so here's a link instead: Wikipedia talk:Help desk/Header § Reformattings. Yall may be interested in engaging, which is vacuously true but my attempt at an invitation. Folly Mox (talk) 17:40, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Minor niggle

At the bottom of the Help Desk, there are two links both purporting to go to the top of the page. Neither does, though they go most of the way. If it were just one such link, I wouldn't complain; but while there are two, couldn't at least one of them do what it claims? Maproom (talk) 17:18, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
