Speedy deletion nomination of File:Chris Downey Photo.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Chris Downey Photo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Thanks for your kind message. I apologise for causing confusion; the "page" that my welcome message referred to was the image that you uploaded (it had nothing to do with your article, which looks great - no reason for deletion there). My concern regarding the photo was that it was stated to be in the public domain despite the Myspace terms and conditions making no mention (at least as far as I could tell) of this permission. According to paragraph 6. 5: "Except as provided within this Agreement, you may not copy, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, display, sell or otherwise use any Content appearing on or through the Myspace Services." Hence its deletion on the grounds of copyright infringement. Any public-domain or free-licence image uploaded to Wikipedia must include not only clear sourcing information but also clear evidence of permission. I hope that this clarifies my position. Thank you for taking the time to make sure that your first article is properly sourced. If you have any further questions about Wikipedia editing, don't hesistate to ask.
