Template:Image copyright request
I agree this is a little too long. We should be directing the users how to put templates on, not to copy and paste the GFDL text from the template, for example, put the tag GFDL on. Also give the tags for the other licences you mention. I might do this if I get a chance.--michael180 13:57, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * I made major changes. Now we need to mirror this on Template:Image source. --michael180 15:47, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

...this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.
 * Not necessarily.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:
 * An open content licence
 * Public Domain
 * Fair Use
 * Fair use is not a license.

The copyright holder gets the best protection of his work by licencing their work under an open content license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence.
 * There is no consensus on the so-called "best" license.

''Images from certain sources are automatically release into the Public Domain. This is true for most governments like the federal United States government.''
 * I think you were right to add something about images created for the government. --Ellmist 21:20, 19 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I was just trying to make it more user friendly.


 * 1) I agree with the part about who is the copyright holder not being nessary. Someone else put that in, I don't like it.

Reguarding Image:Aurora-rye.jpg: I made it. I don't know how to edit it, but could someone please set it as a "logo" because it is the logo for my Project. thank you


 * 1) Next, I say we change "There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:" to There are 3 basic ways an image can be on Wikipedia:
 * Under an open content licence
 * Releaced into the Public Domain
 * Allowed because of Fair Use


 * 1) About the best licence, if you can find a beter way to say that, fine. Also you could say :Most work, in the open source community, inclding Wikipedia, is licenced under..."


 * 1) Thank You.

Feel free to change what I wrote. --michael180 15:23, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Image legality questions
The Untagged images project is going to start a new help page for people that get their images tagged as no source, or no license (see discussion ) At Image legality questions. image copyright, image source and Orphanbot's message will all point there as a centralized clearing house for questions so that they don't sit on individuals talk pages for long, and to help with the automated notifications. - cohesion t 06:12, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Request change
It would appear that the was put into the actual code of the template itself. It should be moved to the section, no? --TeaDrinker 03:33, 17 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Whops! My bad, fixed. --Sherool (talk) 04:27, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

editprotected Plz, add ru-wiki ru:Шаблон:Image status ask. Thx. Alex Spade (talk) 20:17, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * ❌, but I set it up so that non-admins can do it now. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:33, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

mk interwiki
Please add mk:Шаблон:Барање за лиценца interwiki. By the way, what's that PD-self doing at the bottom? --iNkubusse? 14:50, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


 * ✅ But note that interwikis and cstegories should go on the template documentation, which is unprotected. The PD-self is a "see also". Just a license note for users who are unsure how to upload their own work most likely. You could ask the creator (under the template's "history" link).
