Your image upload
Hey, and welcome to Wikipedia! Just wanted to let you know that Wikipedia is governed by some pretty strict copyright rules when it comes to images. In general, an image can be either "free" or "not free". "Free" images are generally images in the public domain, or images for which the copyright has been given up by the owner, etc. Some images, including the one that you uploaded (Image:AP logo for wikipedia..jpg), are considered "not free" because the copyright is owned by someone else (in this case, Australia Post). Wikipedia is allowed to use unfree images basically in cases where there is no other alternative (a logo, a CD cover, a movie frame - basically things where a free equivalent could not be created to replace it). There's a list of these "Fair Use" exceptions here. Your image qualifies as a logo, and so to alert the administrators, I put a tag on the image itself.

Just wanted to let you know. Oh, and by the way, here's a welcome message with a bunch of information you might find helpful! Let me know if you need anything else by adding a note to the bottom of my talk page.

Welcome

Fair use disputed for Image:AP logo for wikipedia..jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:AP logo for wikipedia..jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:28, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:AP logo for wikipedia..jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:AP logo for wikipedia..jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 01:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
