Replaceable fair use Image:Pol.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Pol.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use 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. 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 the fair use 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use 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, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 01:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Sakay.jpg
Hi. I see that you are the uploader of the image at Image:Sakay.jpg, which is said to be in the public domain because its copyright protection has expired. However, in my layman's understanding (or, possibly, misunderstanding), this isn't precisely the case. This image seems to be a cropped and edited portion of this other image. That other image probably is a scanned copy of a photographic image which is in the PD for the stated reason. However, the person who cropped and otherwise edited that other image produced a new work (or a derivative work?), and his authorship rights to that work are protected by copyright. Presuming that you are the author of that cropped and edited image, it seems to me that it is needful for you to edit the Image:Sakay.jpg page, explaining that this image is a cropped and edited version of that other image, that the other image is in the public domain because its copyright protection has expired, and releasing your cropped and edited image into the public domain. I know that I'm nitpicking here, but little details like this do bother me. Cheers, -- Boracay Bill (talk) 07:00, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello Bill. Unfortunately, I am not the author of that "derivative" work, and I may have been unaware of the existence of that other image. Probably the better thing to do would be to take that other image and apply the tag to it. What is your opinion? I am reluctant to claim authorship of "derivative" works in the first place. --  • Kurt Guirnela •  ‡ Talk  04:58, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm only inferring that the other image is a faithful copy of a PD-Philippines image, but I'd be pretty comfortable cloning a copy of that image and applying that tag to it. I think the current image is better but, as I said above, it seems to me that it may have copyright problems. That current image is hagher quality than the other one &mdash; either it was cropped from a higher-quality image than the other one we're discussing, or it was edited by someone with photoshop skills much better than mine.  I tried to crop and edit the other image myself, and wasn't happy with the results. Given that, I think the best option currently available is to upload a copy of the other image, put a PD-Philippines tag on it, and replace the current image with that one.


 * Actually, the article did at one time use that other image. See this, where the image caption mentions a red circle. The image which went with that page had the same name as the current one, but contained the image we've been discussing with a red circle photoshopped in around Sakay's head. That Sakay.jpg file was subsequently deleted due to (apparently mistaken) concerns about copyright status, and at some later point the current image was uploaded to the same filename. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 06:58, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll clone a copy of the group image and upload it using the PD-Philippines tag; we'll use that image for the moment while I try to crop out Sacay using Photoshop. I'm not very good at it as well, but I'll try to see what I can do. =) -- • Kurt Guirnela •  ‡ Talk  06:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Black hawk down bookcover.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:Black hawk down bookcover.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, and it has been replaced by Image:Black hawk down bookcover.png. 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).

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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. AEMoreira042281 (talk) 03:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Juan Araneta..
Hey Kurt,

I'm sorry that i didnt put any references on the addition that i posted about my great grand father. I actually got that information from my own family tree that was approved by all living descendants of Juan Araneta. If you want to check the link to the family tree you can click on this link! I know you are just trying to protect the great name of this great national hero. But if you want to verify my source clik on this link!

 * Hello, I had no idea you are an Araneta Family member, your user page being empty. =) Anyway, I have incorporated that section on the family tree into the Juan Araneta article, and had used the URL you kindly provided as citation and reference. If you could provide more media for the article, such as an image of Juan Araneta, that would be great. If the photo is more than 50 years old, that would fall under public domain in the Philippines, and may be uploaded into Wikipedia. I had taken the liberty of fixing up the articles on the other Aranetas too: Gregorio S. Araneta, Salvador Araneta, Stella Araneta and even Gemma Cruz Araneta, just getting those articles to conform to Wikipedia conventions. If you need help introducing material to the articles close to your family's heart, I'll be here. =) &mdash; • Kurt Guirnela •  ‡ <sup style="color:olive;">Feedback  17:09, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:HenriNouwen.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:HenriNouwen.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 02:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello Larry, sorry about that image; I got that from here back when I was still wet behind the ears as a Wikipedian. Should have seen the copyright line at the bottom of the page. Please delete the image. &mdash; • Kurt Guirnela •  ‡ <sup style="color:olive;">Feedback  06:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Lokomotiv-AlexPascual.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Lokomotiv-AlexPascual.jpg. 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. 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. Rettetast (talk) 13:40, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Here's the rest of it. Some items, especially the single words may need to be tweaked a bit later, since I'm not sure if these will be used in the context of a noun or a verb (there are subtle differences between them). As a rule of thumb, I mostly translated these as a verb. &mdash; • Kurt Guirnela •  ‡ <sup style="color:olive;">Feedback  04:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
