Image copyright problem with Image:Frankmoore08.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Frankmoore08.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. —C.Fred (talk) 04:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The problem, in a nutshell, is that "permission to use it on Wikipedia" really doesn't amount to anything. The first question is how is the image licensed: does the artist maintain copyright on it, has he licensed it under the GFDL or a Creative Commons license, or has he released it into the public domain? These have specific legal meanings, so you'd need to clear that up with the artist and determine how he wants his image treated.


 * If the image is GFDL, CC, or public domain, then it's a "free image," and you're done. If the image is copyright, you then have to provide a rationale for fair use of the image: what the image is, why it is necessary in the article, and how it cannot be replaced with a free image. This is added to the text on the image page. As a general rule of thumb, if the subject is alive, the presumption is that the image can be replaced with a free image, and the picture will still wind up being deleted. So the best thing to do may be to have somebody attend an event he's holding, take his picture there, license it under GFDL or release it into the public domain, and then upload it to Wikipedia. Then there will be a free image available of him.


 * I know it seems cumbersome--and it can be, writing fair use rationales--but because it is possible for Wikipedia articles to be used downstream (including but not limited to a print version of Wikipedia), the aim is to make sure that whenever possible, images may be freely used in any possible manner after they appear in Wikipedia, or that copyright images are used in specifically justified situations. —C.Fred (talk) 21:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Requested move of Frank Moore (artist) to Frank James Moore (artist)
Hello Eroplay. I'm writing to you as a participant in Frank Moore's AfD discussion. It was proposed there that the article be renamed. I have opened up a move discussion at Talk:Frank Moore (artist). Please give your opinion there. If there is a consensus after a few days that the new name should be Frank James Moore (artist), then someone will do the move. Please don't do the move immediately, because if there is disagreement, an administrator will have to fix it up. Thanks, EdJohnston 03:13, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:FrankMoorepic.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:FrankMoorepic.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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 , 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 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 .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 05:19, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
