Picture
Hi there, thanks for your contributions to Spindles Farm, they are much appreciated. I do have one outstanding issue you should know about. The picture you uploaded to commons carries a tag indicating a copyright to the website www.katyroberts.co.uk

Unfortunately, posting images on commons (and in most cases Wikipedia) requires them to be entirely free of copyright, and that means allowing their use for any purpose, including commercial gain, by anyone, at any time.

A discussion has been started at commons and your input would be valued. It could be that you are the legitimate copyright holder of this work, in which case you will be asked to give up some of your intellectual property rights through a creative commons licence, or if you are not, then it will not be possible to keep the image.

I hope this helps, and I apologise if this seems a bit much on one of your first edits, but Wikipedia has a number of these rules which are ultimately designed to keep the resources consistent and away from copyright lawsuits!

Thanks again, and if you have any questions, either reply here, or message me on my talk page. Regards, OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 21:53, 23 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your email about a photograph I was trying to upload to the "Spindles Farm" page on Wikipedia. I am not sure what I did wrong, but I wanted to make it copyright free and put it into the public domain as I took the photograph myself, but I unfortunately attributed it to www.katyroberts.co.uk. Do you know how I may rectify this error I am a new user and don't really know what I am doing.


 * The file in question is File:Katy roberts animal rights pacifist.jpg


 * Please help

 * Hi there, thanks for your email (i've copied above for transparency). This should all be fine.  If you are happy to release this as a copyright free image then follow the instructions here, which is basically sending an email to say that you do own the rights, have published it somewhere else, but are now happy to release it.  I've already started off for you by placing the correct tag on the page.  Hope that makes it clear, but if you want any more help, just message me back here (its easiest just to edit this page, rather than email, its on my watchlist, so i'll see it).  I know that the wiki projects can be a bit full of rules that you just don't know about as a new user.  Happy editing!  OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 18:19, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
