 * Hello - Baroness Foster herself owns the copyright to this image and (as a former employee of hers) I have been asked to upload this image again. How can this be noted? She does not wish any other photograph to be used. Thanks. Simon Eardley. SEardley (talk) 15:08, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * See Donating copyrighted materials. Having said that, The image you uploaded is a low resolution image and the existing official portrait is a much better image. -- Whpq (talk) 22:59, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Copyright of the other image belongs to the UK Parliament so should not be used. SEardley (talk) 09:39, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, the UK parliament is the copyright holder. As copyright holder, the UK Parliament has decided to release the image under a CC-BY-3.0 Creative Commons license.  See the source site which provides this information. -- Whpq (talk) 11:11, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Baroness Foster of Oxton.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Baroness Foster of Oxton.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement&#32;of https://twitter.com/jfoster2019/photo. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 22:55, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

 * This is just in relation to what she regards as her official image! The 'official image' that has been removed technically belongs to the UK Parliament in terms of copyright so should not be used. SEardley (talk) 09:39, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
