License tagging for Image:2005TrackChampsASAandSLM 2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:2005TrackChampsASAandSLM 2.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. 19:06, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I reverted (undid) your change to the image, because what you did isn't even close to right. I'll help you with this process because I want to see the image kept if possible. I started the MIS article, and I'm a bigtime racing fan from Wisconsin. I attended 23 tracks so far this year, including once at MIS in May. Anyhow, you are going about things the wrong way. First you need to state the copyright status. Then you need to add a license to it. Please state how you can across this image, and we'll go from there. Did you take it yourself? Did a friend/relative/associate take it? Did you buy it from a photographer? Royal broil  19:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You replied to me via email, which I would rather not do, and said: "Regarding License tagging for Image:2005TrackChampsASAandSLM 2.jpg.

I'm a wikipedia newbee, but since wikipedia is a wiki (or so I assume), I figured, why not add info to it. I haven't had time to really dig into the nuts and bolts of it yet...it seems a bit more involved that most bare bones wiki's. Since I'm at work when did this, it was pretty much when I had a minuite or two between meetings and such

As far as the photo, I received a electronic copy of it from Doug Hornickle of Fast Lap Photo. He gave it to me to add to our website (http://bobbywilberg.netfirms.com)

 * My reply: Wikipedia is fairly complicated, and the most complicated part is the image use policy. The policy states "Adding images Before you upload an image, make sure that either:

or
 * You own the rights to the image (usually meaning that you created the image yourself).
 * You can prove that the copyright holder has licensed the image under an acceptable free license.
 * You can prove that the image is in the public domain.


 * You believe, and state, a fair use rationale for the specific use of the image that you intend.

Since someone else took the image, bullet #2 should apply. So you would have to prove that the image is licensed by the copyright owner (photographer) under an acceptable free license. That may be possible, but you would have to do the work. You can start here: Requesting copyright permission. Royal broil 05:09, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
