License tagging for Image:Josipa-karlo1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Josipa-karlo1.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:
 * Image use policy
 * 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 Media copyright questions. 12:06, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Two pictures in the article about Josipa Lisac
Hello;

I would like to inquire your help with this page I made about Josipa Lisac, the Croatian singer. About a month ago, I've updated her biography and put 2 more pictures, which your program removed. One of them had the copyright information and the other one didn't, due to my own mistake. Since both of these pictures are used from the official site and with a permission, I would appreciate if you would help me tag them correctly, so they could be put on the page once again. Please send me a feedback. Thank you.

 * Since the images have been deleted, I can't do anything about it. You should ask at Media copyright questions: there are a few administrators who watch that page who can undelete the images if needed. --Carnildo 07:27, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I can help with this. I've just re-deleted your uploads. The reason is that at Wikipedia, we require that contributions be compatible with the GFDL. Images uploaded here must be images that can be freely modified, and used for any purpose (including commercial purposes), so long as the license of any derivative works is still compatible with the GFDL. If you are willing to license the image under the GFDL, or release them into the public domain, or license them under a creative commons license that doesn't prohibit non-commercial use or derivative works, feel free to upload them again and tag them as such, as long as you really have the authority to do that. (If you do, it would be helpful to send an email to permissions(at)wikipedia.org from an email address associated with the site to back up your authority).

Picture you deleted
The problem was that all the image summary said was "The picture used with a permission from the official site of Josipa Lisac." This is not good enough for Wikipedia. You need an e-mail or letter from someone at the Lisac official site with the authority to grant permission to use the image under the GFDL license. The text of the correspondence must be very specific and state that they "release under GFDL" (or some other free license). The letter must also have contact information (e-mail or phone or both), so the release can be verified. The text of the correspondence with contact info. then needs to be posted on the talk page for reference. See Image:Zebra finch.jpg and Image talk:Zebra finch.jpg for a similar example. -Nv8200p talk 18:38, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah same here, you claimed the image was licensed under the GFDL licnse, but the source website you pointed to makes no mention of this license and we need an explicit release from the copyrgiht holder in order to license something as GFDL or any other free license. "permission to use on Wikipedia" is not a free license and it's defenently not the same as GFDL. See Requesting copyright permission for some more information. --Sherool (talk) 18:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Get an e-mail from ddesign@josipalisac.com that is explicit. "I ddesign release the image of Lisac under the GFDL" (or Creative Commons, etc.) and post that e-mail with the e-mail address on the discussion page for the image. -Nv8200p talk 19:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
