License tagging for Image:D diddy.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:D diddy.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Problems with your images
Hi, you've received two automatic messages from OrphanBot concerning Image:D diddy.jpg and Image:EddyMcGrady.jpg. In fact the remaining two images you've uploaded so far &mdash; Image:M diddy.jpg and Image:I diddy.jpg &mdash; have exactly the same problem. You seem to have just found them on the web by googling the names of the people concerned, but you didn't give the URL of the website you took them from, so there's no indication as to whether or not these images are copyrighted. For further information, please see Non-free content.

We want Wikipedia to be as free an encyclopaedia as possible, which means that everything on it should ideally be able to be copied, modified, and redistributed by others &mdash; even commercially. Therefore, we strongly discourage the use of images that are not either in the public domain or licensed in a way that allows copying, modification, and redistribution. We allow a very limited amount of non-free content, under a fair use claim, when, for example, and image adds significantly to the article, and is not serving a merely decorative purpose, and when it would not be reasonably possible to find a freely-licenced alternative.

It's not normally possible to claim fair use of a living person, as it would be possible for a Wikipedian to go along to a pop star's concert, an author's book signing, a politician's question and answer session, etc., and take a photo and release it under a free licence. And the Ian Paisley article in the version just before you edited it specifically showed that a free image was wanted. Therefore, I have removed the images from the articles, and unless you go back to those images, which you can find here, and give the URLs of the websites you found them on, showing clearly that they were released under a free licence by the copyright holder, they're likely to be deleted soon. Feel free to ask me here if you have any questions. Regards. ElinorD (talk) 17:00, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

More image problems
Hi, sorry to bother you again. Since my last message, you've uploaded three more images. This time, you've given a source, but the URL seems to be invalid. To make a link work on Wikipedia, you need to use the http:// in the address, and not just start with www., but that's a minor matter. I was able to fill in the http:// myself, in trying to find the source. You gave the following three sources (which I've changed to a fuller URL, with the http:// ):


 * http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/.../pics03/bradley_d.jpg for Image:Bradley d.jpg


 * http://www.sdlpyouth.com/.../d/129-2/watercharges.jpg for Image:Watercharges.jpg


 * http://www.sdlpyouth.com/.../d/129-2/watercharges.jpg for Image:Wcharges2.jpg

The URL for the second and third of those images is the same, and it looks to be the same image, but in a different size. Regardless, as far as I can see, those three URLs are invalid because of the "..." in the middle.

There are more experienced Wikipedians who would know immediately if an image from niassembly.gov.uk is automatically public domain or not. For example, I think I've seen images tagged with a licence that says they're public domain because they come from the US government. However, you seem not to be making a claim that these images are public domain because they come from a particular website &mdash; you're just uploading them without making any claim as to what kind of copyright they have.

I don't want to seem unfriendly to a new user, and I admit that I don't know for a fact that these images are not free. But the thing is that we don't use images that may or may not be free on Wikipedia, for the reasons that I explained in my first message. So, I have reverted your edits at Dominic Bradley again. You really need to choose a tag to show what licence an image has when you're uploading it, and to give the full URL showing where you got it. Could I urge you not to upload any more images for the moment without first going to Media copyright questions to ask advice? You could give the URL there, without uploading the image, and I'm sure that someone would help you to determine whether or not the image you wanted to upload was one that we can use here on Wikipedia. I uploaded a few images with the wrong copyright tag when I joined, and a very kind administrator helped to sort it out. After you've been here for a while, you'll get a feel for what is and isn't acceptable. Cheers. ElinorD (talk) 18:33, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
