I understand why the Centre Structure Concept image has been deleted on my user page but I still don't understand how I can license this image.

The image belongs to the TGF (so they say) but I am not sure what they need to give me to prove that they have copyright.

Please help and advise. If possible please don't just point me to information on the subject. I've read heaps of stuff here but I'm still unclear as to the easiest and simplest way to clear this image for use on wikipedia.

I would really appreciate a simple explanation. ThanQ Cneeds (talk) 09:34, 12 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Greetings! Let me see if I can help. The image can be used for the article on which you're working through a claim of fair use, but that claim doesn't apply until the article goes live (I mean, is in article space). Per policy, fair-use images cannot be used on user pages, even temporarily. You don't necessarily have to provide anything, however, to use the image in an article.


 * When using an image under a claim of fair-use, you will need to provide two things that the project will help you generate: a copyright notice indicating what the image is (a logo, for example) and a fair-use rationale explaining why the image needs to be in the article. The former will add a lot of information to the image's file, indicating what it is and how fair-use applies to its use on Wikipedia. The latter will give editors the reason why this image should be used. Again, much of this is automated when you upload the file by selecting from pull-down menus.


 * Let's assume you're going to add a logo for an organization, and you have access to an image file of it. When you upload it, it will ask if the image is copyrighted. Since the organization most likely owns the logo, you'd answer yes, and that the image is of the logo for something. Again, you don't have to provide anything more than a URL to where the image comes from (if available) or a description of where the file originated. When you select the logo description, that should generate this template. Then you'll select a fair-use rationale for the particular article in which the image will be used. That will generate this template, explaining why this copyrighted image should be allowed.


 * I'm hoping this will make things a bit clearer, but if you have other questions, feel free to either ask me directly or reset the help-me template.

 * Thank you very much for this info McDoob. This article is quite a long way from going live. At that point I will upload the image again and follow your instructions and revert if necessary. Best regards - Chris. Cneeds (talk) 22:53, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Please move this page
Will someone please move User:Cneeds/The Tej Gyan Foundation to User:Cneeds/Tej Gyan Foundation (omitting "The" before "Tej"). Thank you. Cneeds (talk) 05:44, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I've done so—and given that this page is now at User talk:Cneeds/Tej Gyan Foundation, it appears to have worked. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 06:29, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
