How does X work?
I am not sure how to figure out if the image I found through Google image search is copyrighted. It would seem to me that a picture of the exterior of the Cathedral in Phoenix by a parishioner is acceptable for use on the Wikipedia page for the Diocese of Phoenix because a parishioner would never object to this limited use. But how can I be certain? I have given the full URL and the name of the author. The first time I uploaded the image, a different URL was used from a website other than the author of the image who had the photo on his personal blog. I presume that the photo belonged to Tony Hernandez. I replaced the "ship of fools" URL with the "my return home" blog URL. There are so many different types of licensing tags that I am confused about which one to use. Thank you for your help. Hpruxpbvm (talk) 03:45, 3 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Unless the website you get the image from explicitly states that they have released copyright, (Either into the Public Domain or a Creative Commons license) then the image is assumed to be copyrighted. Whether or not a parishioner would care is irrelevant, unfortunately. One option you could pursue, however, is trying to email the website owner, and ask if they will release the image under a Wikipedia-compatible license. (If they would, the instructions they need to follow are at WP:IOWN). Hope that helps. Avic ennasis @ 09:00, 4 Elul 5771 / 09:00, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Crest of Diocese of Phoenix.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Crest of Diocese of Phoenix.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 18:24, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Crest of Diocese of Phoenix.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Crest of Diocese of Phoenix.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 17:02, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
