VoA images
Hello, can you please take it slowly uploading all those VoA images? Those you uploaded yesterday haven't been clarified yet. Plese be aware that not all images contained in VoA webpages are original VoA work and therefore in the public domain. VoA also often uses images credited to other sources. The source links you have been giving very often didn't lead directly to the image, or were dead links, or in fact led to pages that showed the image was credited to some other source. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:57, 23 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, No problem. I'm very happy that you help to me. Thank You. I upload others tommorow if you clarrified them. I think all of this pictures is free under VoA license.


 * Thanks for providing more precise links to some items. Unfortunately, I find that in quite a number of cases the images are also found elsewhere on the web where they are credited to other news agencies; for instance File:Sadeq Larijani.jpg is found here, credited to Associated Press. This means that the image galleries on VoA are generally not a reliable source for PD status. Evidently, VoA is using images from other sources, especially AP, and for some reason, in its Iranian language version, sometimes omits to give proper image credits. Only content that is originally produced by VoA itself is automatically PD. I was under the impression that at least on the English version of VoA they typically distinguish between their own material and that of others, but I'm afraid we can't use those Iranian gallery pages for this purpose.

 * Ok. I don't use this image again but all of images that I upload are free. If you know Persian it was said in Website that this image is under VoA license and we have license of them. They said some of this image is from another websites but we have permision from them. You can go to website again and read it carefuly.FromEast (talk) 08:12, 24 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately I don't read Persian. What I do know is VoA's English version of their copyright statement, which says that the content they produce themselves is in the public domain, but that much of their content is syndicated from AP, and those parts are not free (actually, the equivalent Persian page according to web translation seems to be saying the same). This is what evidently has been happening with many of the images you uploaded, because they can also be found on other websites and there are clearly credited to AP, not to VoA. – Another thing: when you upload images under a claim of PD-Tunisia or similar PD claims, you must provide proof of (a) when exactly the image was created (with several I've seen it wasn't clear they were in fact old enough), and (b) in what country they were first published. It's not enough that they were created in Tunisia. Cpyright goes by the country of publication, so if a foreign journalist took a photo in Tunisia and then published it with his news agency abroad, Tunisian copyright law never comes into play.

Can you upload the images to commons so other wikipedia project can use them? thanks -- The Egyptian Liberal (talk) 23:50, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, Commons Wikimedia is filtered by Dictatorship Government of Iran like Egypt in Hosni Mubarak's rule. If you can, do this subject. Thanks.

However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

April 2011
Your addition to File:Safar.jpg has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:36, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Khaddam2.png
Thanks for uploading File:Khaddam2.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:51, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

"state.gov" photos?
You have uploaded several pictures with a source notice "state.gov", claimed as PD-USGov, without providing a precise link to the source page. In several cases I have been unable to identify the photos in question on US government sites, and in at least one case, I now found that an image was in reality a professional news agency picture from AP, i.e. a blatant copyright violation.

Please go through all your images that are tagged in this way, and either provide a full link to the source page, or mark them for deletion (use db-author or list them here). You have 24 hours time. I'm afraid if I find any undeclared bad ones after that, I'll have to block you for deliberate copyright violation. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:22, 3 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Since you have not responded to this request and instead continued to upload yet more images, and I now found that File:Clinton in Syria.jpg was also a copyright violation from AP, I have blocked you indefinitely. You can be unblocked if you promise to refrain from all image uploading in the future. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:41, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

File:Mousavi and Rahnavard.jpg
Caption reads:
 * "In this Tuesday, June 9, 2009 file photo, Zahra Rahnavard, the wife of reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, waves to the people during a rally at Heidarnia stadium, during the final days of the election race in Tehran, Iran. In a part of the Muslim world where women are often perceived of as the repressed gender, images of Iranian women during and after the recent elections have catapulted Iran's female demonstrators into the forefront of the country's opposition movement. (AP Photo/Kamran Jebreili, File)."

Same applies to all VOA-persian photos, this photos are never free, VOA not has any photographers in Iran. I know you will not read this, Amir, but I write it down here because its only you who causes this trouble again and again and again and again. --Martin H. (talk) 01:28, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:AFC Asian Cup Trophy.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:AFC Asian Cup Trophy.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
