Unverified orphans
This is regarding your comments at Wikipedia talk:Images and media for deletion/Unverified orphans. Please note that there are many UOs that satisfy one of more of the following:
 * 1) They weren't orphaned to begin with and were removed from articles by people paranoid about copyrights.
 * 2) They were uploaded before mid-2004 which is when people decided to include non-GFDL non-PD non-fair-use images. Long ago everything was GFDL or PD (we had to agree to GFDL-redistributability while uploading) and there was no requirement to tag, then fair-use came to be allowed and then came allowing other licenses and image-tagging.
 * 3) Their uploaders have since left the project and hence can't be contacted for updating the image with licensing info.
 * 4) They might be redundant images in an article, but may be useful as a commons resource on the subject.
 * 5) Orphans don't load the image server since nearly nobody sees them.

Please see my messages here, here, here, here, and here and the meagre response I was able to get.

If you feel I am not a trusted person enough to be bothered about, you could see Jamesday's opinion on Wikipedia talk:Copyright violations on history pages and Anthere's opinion here, here and here and Sj's opinion here.

As you could see from my messages, I would like a proper place where many people discuss the current image deletion policy, but I don't know what to do. Thanks for any help. -- Paddu 08:53, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Iced Tea
Sorry for not responding to your message for ages! That's something that I almost never do, and I apologize for it. Well, I'm very pressed and stressed these days and don't have time to take another picture now, though in a month I imagine that I will. P.S. Could you do me a favor? I've been trying hard to find out whether photographs taken of branded products are property of the photographer, or if the copyrighted brand has some rights. I'd like to take pictures of different kinds of tea Twinings has some pics like this, but I don't know the law. Even if you don't know, if you know whom to ask I would be delighted. Thanks so much! --Zantastik 08:47, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:DigitalWaveguide.png
Thanks for uploading Image:DigitalWaveguide.png. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 01:09, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:FL_insignia.png. 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.

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.
