Photos of Caleb McDuff
Hello there. I notice you've uploaded a couple of photos of Caleb that you've captioned as "photo from S L First Magazine" - do you have S L First's permission to publish these pictures on Wikipedia, or did you take them yourself and retain the copyright? (By publishing these photos on Wikipedia under a CC-Attribution licence you're saying "anybody can use this picture, for anything, even a commercial project, with no need to pay royalties so long as they namecheck the photographer somewhere", which the magazine might not appreciate.) --McGeddon (talk) 13:10, 1 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response. That the photos have been "given to Caleb McDuff family for their use however they wish, as long as SL First is mentioned in caption" isn't quite the same as saying "anybody can reuse this picture for any purpose so long as a photographer credit is given in any reasonable manner". (Even Wikipedia itself doesn't credit photographers in "captions" beneath images, per WP:CREDITS.) Can you double-check with SL First that they are happy to explicitly release the photos under a CC-Attribution licence, as described here? It's possible that they'd be happy for you to use the photos as you wished, in the ways that they'd expect you to, but would be unhappy at, say, a tabloid newspaper reusing the photo for a story you didn't approve of, even if "photo by S L First" were stated underneath. --McGeddon (talk) 16:02, 1 May 2014 (UTC)


 * In the absence of any further response from you, I'm going to have to go ahead and flag both these photos as being possibly unusable by Wikipedia, since the licencing isn't 100% clear. You'll get a couple of alerts below as I do this - if you can ask SL First to email the address specified with a statement that they're happy to release their work under a CC-Attribution licence, that should sort everything out. If you have any questions (or are reading this weeks later when the images have already been deleted), drop me a line on my talk page and I'll be happy to help. Thanks. --McGeddon (talk) 14:29, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Caleb McDuff - Silence Racing at Llandow, April 2014.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Caleb McDuff - Silence Racing at Llandow, April 2014.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 14:29, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
