Copyrighted photo
Hi,

I marked your image "Chainsaw15.jpg" for speedy deletion. It has a clear copyright notice embedded in the photo.

We aren't allowed to grab pictures we see on the web and upload them to Wikipedia, unless:


 * The image is in the public domain (most commonly this is because the image was published before 1923, or because it's the work of the US federal government)
 * The image is licensed under the GFDL (this is rare)
 * There are some narrow "fair use" exceptions: see Fair use.

Thanks, and leave me a note on my talk page if you have any questions. Tempshill 21:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi - you can definitely upload your own pictures to Wikipedia, if you announce on the image page that you are allowing everyone to use the photo under one of several "free licenses". See the "For image creators" section at this link.


 * You only need to make sure that you tag the image with one of the four tags mentioned, and you should also state clearly on the image that "I took this photograph" or "I drew this picture" or whatever. Thanks!  Tempshill 16:35, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Chainsaw17.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Chainsaw17.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. --OrphanBot 09:31, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:FSO.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:FSO.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Shyam ( T / C ) 16:26, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
