Your contributions
I need some copyright help on Image:Native_mideast.jpg on Middle East page. It is a great image that shows the names of middle eastern countries in their native scripts. Thank you.


 * Well I've taken a look at the website you got it from and it has the following copyright message

"© 2001-2006 Werner Fröhlich. Data from this site may be queried and copied on a not-for-profit basis only if the source is accurately credited. All rights are reserved for profit-seeking purposes.

 * Which in short means we can't use it. We need images released under a free license, reusable by commercial (for profit) organisations as well. Suitable licenses would be GFDL or some variants of the creative commons license. You can find more information about copyrights here. You could also email the website concerned and ask for explicit permission to use it under one of the usable licenses, details including a suitable boilerplate can be found here, but again note a license for wikipedia only to use the image is no good, if has to be a free license such that others (including commercial users) can reuse and/or modify the image. --pgk( talk ) 18:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:Native mideast.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Native mideast.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Peter O. (Talk) 00:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
