Hi. Please explain what is the problem concerning "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:100,000_Lebanese_Pound_Banknote.jpg" ? *User talk:scorpiondevil IMG/Archive — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scorpiondevil (talk • contribs) 16:36, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure what I'm missing or specifically need to do with the images that I uploaded for Joe Esposito (artist). I am creating the article with the artist's consent and help. Specifically, I assume I need to (what?) have Joe Esposito send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org stating these files are owned by him?

File:Photo of Warren Coats.jpg
I am extremely frustrated that this can of worms has been re-opened. All the subject, owner, and me, the article author, have wanted was to make this picture open access. The numerous amount of hours I had spent trying to comply with your byzantine requirements just to achieve this has been astounding and counterproductive. But, we thought we had resolved this months ago, when, working with multiple Wikipedia editors, we made sure that both Warren Coats at the person who snapped the picture, Ito Briones, sent multiple emails giving permission for the photo to be freely accessible. Now you have another problem. Whatever the problem is now, you have the all the information you need proving that the creator of the file has given permission. If there is something incorrect in the tagging, please make the necessary change rather than asking me to re-do instructions that I have tried to follow no less than 10--now 11 times, only to have some editor make some unclear objection and refer me to instructions I thought I already complied with, and then delete the photo. I also submitted a letter of complaint because of this Wikipedia practice and would be happy to share it with you. My main problem, besides the indecipherability of the instructions, for editors so eager to delete files and make referral to the same indecipherable instructions, is that in the time you took to make this determination, could have been spent helping resolve the problem that you now have. If there is something specific I need to do, that hasn't been done already, then please tell me precisely what specific action you want me to take and do not refer me to your general instructions, since I'm obviously not capable of following them. Sorry to be terse, but we were all amazed and outraged before and now it's begun all over again. Odellhuff (talk) 00:41, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

File:YuezhiHeliocles.jpg
I see that you tagged this as possibly being free. The problem is that there is no evidence of permission from the photographer. Photos of coins need permission from the photographer as explained at Commons:COM:ART. Since someone can take a free photo of the coin, this image fails WP:NFCC, and it additionally fails WP:NFCC. --Stefan2 (talk) 15:23, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Queen Tiye - cropped - probably with her husband Amenhotep III - 34 louvre - egyptarchive.JPG
Dear Sfan00: You wrote to me

Thanks for uploading File:Queen Tiye - cropped - probably with her husband Amenhotep III - 34 louvre - egyptarchive.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add to the file description page to prevent premature deletion. If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:38, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Even though he states on his web site that none is required, I have the written permission of the creator for the use of his copyright-free low resolution images.

Erroneous Speedy Deletion Nominations Under CSD F2
Please do not report images as corrupt or empty when they are clearly not. Thank you. --☥NEO (talk) 23:20, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Looking at the page you reverted on, the image does meet F2 and is not an erroneous report. The image is not local, it's a Commons image which has a local (blank) page. The only time we have blank local pages are for instances where they are featured and have been tagged as such, for example. Since there is nothing to keep here on the local level, there's no reason for that page to exist still. Regards, — Moe   Epsilon  23:58, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

As I already stated I CANNOT do this myself as I publicly declared that I am no longer editing Beatle related articles, but you can. Steelbeard1 (talk) 13:26, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Little Mix files

File:Mentmorehannahinhall.jpg
Thank you for adding structure to the File:Mentmorehannahinhall.jpg page on Wikipedia. However you ought really to look at the templates you are using as they don't seem at all appropriate to the image. You the template bsr which makes the assertion "...  it either links directly to the image or is a generic base URL, or is not an Internet source for an image that was likely found on the Internet." Leaving aside the use of 'either' to precede three options, it's pretty clear that the source information for the image of the watercolour painted circa 1863 is not a direct link to the image; it is not a generic base URL; and it is not likely found on the internet, as Giano is quite well-known for taking his own photos or scans. So why is that template there?

In addition, you templated Giano, the uploader of the image, with the following: "If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright." Why would he need to do this? He says the watercolour, a two-dimensional work of art, was painted circa 1863 and is now in the public domain, so the image is perforce in the public domain also. Is that not sufficient clarification of the copyright status? --RexxS (talk) 22:12, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Tagging File:Frederick md seal.png
You tagged this file for deletion because it lacks author information, but the image is, by definition, in the public domain.

Why don't you do whatever needs to be done to fix the upload form for non-free works before you go tagging them like a madman. Ryan Vesey 00:13, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

 * The upload form for non-free works doesn't include anything for NFCC 1 or 2. I'm not about to be bothered to go around to the images filling it in.  If you legitimately feel that the image doesn't meet the guidelines, go ahead and bring it up at the relevant noticeboard, but your time would be better spent finding whoever you have to find to fix the upload form so it has a field for criteria 1 and 2.

 * Furthermore, specific options (i.e. a historical portrait) do have fields for NFCC 2. Note that File:Cambria logo.png isn't blank for NFCC 1 and 2, it says NA.  There is no reason to expect the uploaders to provide a rationale for something that needs none. Ryan Vesey 00:22, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

 * You've got more experience with images than me. It's not important that Umberto Saba has photos of the man, but it would be nice. It would tell the reader something about him that text alone could not. There aren't any images in the public domain, to my knowledge. I got those three from an Italian gallery website, which I've linked to in the images' history. The pictures are of him as a child, at his creative prime, and in his later years, receiving a very special award.

Speedy deletion for my photo
What does packing artwork mean and why is the photograph consider for speedy deletion? OliwierB (talk) 21:24, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * What Sfan almost certainly means by his unhelpfully opaque deletion nomination is that your image is a derivative work of the copyrighted artwork on the packaging. Because it is a derivative of a copyrighted work, it cannot be released under a free license. If it were illustrating an article then it might be usable under fair use terms, but as it isn't we cannot keep it. See FAQ/Copyright, particularly the Derivative works section.

Inaccurate copyright addition to File:Transport Coast Farmer AWM.jpg has been reverted
Undid your revision to Transport Coast Farmer AWM.jpg because your qualification "NOT necessarily in the public domain in the United States" does not apply as will clearly be seen if you read the citations. An image, stated by the Australian government as being public domain is in the public domain and the qualification of "entered the public domain in Australia prior to 1996" is certainly met by a WW II image. A bit of reading before modifying such important things as copyright might be in order. Palmeira (talk) 22:06, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Looks like my mistake. Sorry, just getting a bit tired of some "copyright police" with only vague ideas of the actual issues or mindless bots tagging things. You apparently just added the Australian notice template that contains the qualification and I had just done a blind cut 'n paste adding "' to ' | commons}}"! Palmeira (talk) 22:21, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Please stop.
Over at WT:CSD, we're having to clean up after a mess you've made before and keep making. Files that are categorically ineligible for copyright - ie, tagged with pd-ineligible, pd-text, pd-shape, pd-chem, and pd-textlogo - do not need sourcing information to determine copyright. It is extremely disruptive to have to clean up after your erroneous deletion tags. Please do not ever again tag categorically public domain images for speedy deletion because they lack superfluous source information. VanIsaacWS Vexcontribs 00:03, 20 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Please update the guidelines for CSD then. You should note that after a concern was raised this time I've tried to place a good faith source in a number of images. 09:50, 20 April 2013 (UTC)Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:16, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The CSD criteria is quite clear. "Media files that lack the necessary licensing information to verify copyright status may be deleted". These files just plain do not require sourcing to do so, and are not eligible for CSD. I've updated the documentation on the tagging template to be more explicit about this, but when you tag a file for deletion - or whatever variant on the idea di-no source would be - you are responsible for assuring that it legitimately applies.

Reflinks
Would you please slow down and check the edits you are making with reflinks, rather than counting on others to clean up the mess behind you? You surely cannot have checked or you'd have spotted that the script was giving a completely inappropriate entry for the author field. In that single minute you edited 8 different articles and 47 references. There is no way that you're exercising proper care at that rate and you need to seriously reconsider what you're doing before this escalates. --RexxS (talk) 00:33, 23 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Noted., and I am reviewing the edits made using that tool. I'm finding a number of concerns, so thanks for your notification. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:34, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Tagging unused images
If you're going to be tagging unused images for deletion on the grounds that there's insufficient metadata to determine the subject of the image, then -- a) I strongly suggest you first verify the other edits made by the uploader on the date that the file was uploaded, which can often have all the descriptive metadata you need. Admittedly, sometimes this requires looking in the deleted edits, which only admins can do, but more often it's available. b) "image does not assert notability of it's subject" should not have an apostrophe. "Its" != "It's". "It's" is short for "It is". DS (talk) 14:42, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Sfan00, I noticed that you removed the fair use dispute template from this image, but I don't understand your reasoning. The uploader indicated that the image was fair use because it was being used to "illustrate either the publication of the article or issue in question". This image is not being used to illustrate the Daily News, an article in the Daily News, or an issue of the Daily News. What was your rationale for removing the tag? Pburka (talk) 17:37, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


 * The image is not of anything to do with the Daily News, per the FUR currently on the page, the Daily News is listed SOLELY as being the source of the image. That the image is 'replaceable' isn't disputed. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 07:28, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The uploader indicated that the image was being used to illustrate the Daily News. Given that it doesn't do so, I think that's a valid reason for deletion. However, as you point out, it's also replaceable, and, in fact, Wikipedia already has nearly identical free images. Pburka (talk) 07:33, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

I've moved your request into a prod, as that reason isn't a valid one at CSD. It's a rather restricted area, CSD, and only certain things come into it. We are widening it, a bit at a time, but it's an uphill battle... Peridon (talk) 17:37, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

There is a new mediawiki extension! the Score extension allows you to enter music (using Lillypond or ABC notation) directly into Mediawiki pages! What's more it has an option for generating an asociated OGG file automatically.

Free or non-free logo
Regarding this edit, why do you think the image is not properly licensed? It's a logo that might be protected by copyright. It's just about impossible to predict what logos would be judged eligible and which would not... In this example, the Credit Card City logo was deemed eligible but the related CCC logo was not. In the end it's up to a judge and rather arbitrary. Isn't it best to keep it tagged as non-free, since there's no way for us to know for sure? – Quadell (talk) 01:24, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It sounds like you're not convinced the image has the wrong license tag here. If so, I'm going to remove the wrong license tag, if you don't mind. You can nominate it for deletion at Commons if you want, but I doubt it will be deleted. After all, it would probably be deemed ineligible for copyright in a U.S. court... we just have no way to know for sure. In these edge cases (probably PD-ineligible, but not 100% sure), Commons tends to keep them, since it's probably safe. But here on en-wiki, we tend to tag them as non-free, on the principle that we use the safest tag possible that still allows us to use the image. I know, it seems odd that the same image might be tagged differently here and on the Commons, but that happens. Different consensuses result in different communities after all. It might seem more consistent to tag an image the same way in both places, but to be honest, there's no way either of us can ever know for sure that the logo is or is not protected by copyright. We just make our best guess and move on. (Besides, it's a Brazilian image, and I have even less of an idea what a Brazilian judge would decide.)
 * If you think wider discussion is needed, you could retag it as free and then nominate it at PUI... I wouldn't mind. But I don't think it's worth the trouble, honestly. All the best, – Quadell (talk) 14:16, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

File:2001 South Pacific Mini Games Logo.png
Hi. I know that copyright issues are important, not only for Wikipedia. I used the Upload Wizard to upload the non-free logo, and to my opinion, all points of the Non-free use rationale logo are fulfilled and addressed, (as asked by the upload wizard). So I do not understand what exactly is missing. Could you please explain in detail. Thanks. CroesJ (talk) 21:06, 1 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but I still try to understand the problem, but do not succeed. I am convinced that the upload of the logo for the 2001 South Pacific Mini Games is in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines for uploading non-free logos.


 * I read again through Non-free_content, especially through Non-free_content and Template:Non-free use rationale logo. As far as I understand, the information that you request is not part of the non-free rationale as used for non-free logos.


 * For some reason, File Upload Wizard, as used for the logo upload, generates a description page of style Template:Non-free use rationale 2 rather than Template:Non-free use rationale logo with the points you mention marked as "not applicable".


 * Is the point that you want me to modify the logo's description page to the style of Template:Non-free use rationale logo? CroesJ (talk) 18:39, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:MuammarGaddafiandAmazon.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:MuammarGaddafiandAmazon.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy.

File permission problem with File:Nina Manuel From The IIFA Awards 2006 Day 4.jpg
I'm not really sure about the permission for this file. I used the "File:Jiah Khan at Nokia APP party 02.jpg" image's licensing as the source website is the same. Its licensing states that "This image is owned by www.bollywoodhungama.com (formerly named "IndiaFM").

Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify these images, providing the site is attributed and a direct link running to the source on their site is provided." I tried to use the same template at that file page, but it turned up as a red link.

Correct License
Dear Sfan00 IMG, Thank you for your message on my talk page. I am having a hard time figuring out correct license for the pictures I post to the page of "Senator Ishaq Dar". I would like you to understand my position and advise me of the right way to deal with this problem once and for all so I don't have this issue.

The pictures that I post are owned by the political party "PMLN" in which Senator Dar is a senior leader. The photos are sent to me directly from the official photographer Mr. Balti for me to use the way I want to. Now, is there any email or etc. that I can ask the party or Mr. Balti to send me that authorizes me to use those pictures? I would highly appreciate if you can let me know a way in which I don't have this issue in future.

Your help would be HIGHLY APPRECIATED. Thank you and regards,

keep/transfer to wikicommon
Can you point me to the Wikipedia policy which requires tagging of images uploaded to wikipedia as either keep local or transfer to wikipedia commons. I've been seeing these tags added some lately and it is unclear where this is coming from.--RadioFan (talk) 11:42, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


 * There is no specfic policy as such, It's just good practice to mark images that are 'free' as either being for Commons, or local. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:43, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Your recent comments on one of my images implied that this is policy. There are 3 choices here, mark it for transfer to commons, mark it as keep here, and leave it alone.  --RadioFan (talk) 23:42, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Penelope washing stripe off.png
You're gay. I made the fucking image myself, douchebag.

It's quite useless to add an Information to an image description page if you leave important fields blank (especially when there's information available to fill them in). AnonMoos (talk) 21:03, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

File:JDHS Logo 60Years.png
You have added info that this can be move to commons, if it will moved, after then in commons will need OTRS-permission, and I think that this logo will deleted because Only text only logos are allowed in Commons without OTRS-permission Musamies (talk) 02:07, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

File:MarkFraryAimingHigh.jpg
I've marked this image as missing evidence of permission because I couldn't find any evidence that the author himself designed the cover or that he released the image into the public domain. I noticed you marked it as safe to move to the Commons, so I was wondering if you knew something that I didn't. ALH (talk) 03:52, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

File:Folies Bergere after renovatation of facade 2013.jpg
I have removed the from this file on the off chance that someone on commons decides to delete it as there is no prof the architecture is out of copyright.  LGA talk  edits   08:25, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

File:The Siege of sparta.jpg
Could you clarify on the file's talk page what's missing? It's a 2D work of art long in the public domain, and would seem to be covered by ''a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright two-dimensional work may not be protected under American copyright law. The official position of the Wikimedia Foundation is that all reproductions of public domain works should be considered to be in the public domain regardless of their country of origin.'' If the painting is correctly identified, then it would seem not to matter what the immediate source of the image is. Cynwolfe (talk) 04:08, 19 June 2013 (UTC)


 * The request for the immediate source is so that the Gallery/Museum that took the digital image can be credited, but your reasoning has been taken into conisderation.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:05, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Flagging images for transfer
Hello! Please be more careful when tagging images for transfer to commons, as you flagged both File:Green Dragon Sprite.jpg and File:Black Dragon Sprite.gif when they are in fact copyrighted images from Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, respectively. Google's reverse image search can be helpful when checking for these things! -- T K K  bark !  02:16, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
 * And again with File:Collins College Expansion Project.jpg -- T K K  bark !  02:21, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Aaaand again with File:Joanne Langione Dance Center Logo.gif. I'm going to stop alerting them to you now; just be more careful when flagging images for transfer in the future. -- T K K  bark !  02:26, 20 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I was working in good faith based on the information provided here on Wikipedia.

That you are able to spot old game sprites is a good thing, and I would suggest you continue. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:16, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * It's fine, I just thought you should know. I didn't recognize the sprites, I copied their urls and plugged them into Google's search by image and the originals came up. -- T K K  bark !  10:50, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Wow, you sure did
discover File:Felicitas Goodman and student, ca. 1988.jpg quickly, I just uploaded it yesterday. I have had trouble - not copyright sort of trouble but uploading problems -putting pictures on Commons so I don't even try any more. I live on a dead-end, one way alley far off the internet superhighway that many other editors travel on and the whole time and ease-of-action issues are different out here. I had that particular shot because the "student" in the picture is a very rare picture of my wife to be found on the www. Anyway I wanted to acknowledge the great work that you do in the image arena of wikipedia. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 13:59, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

File:City-of-Gilroy-seal.svg
It's not a government seal. It's an original work of art. If you overlay this image on the original, assuming you could even find one, you'll find that they don't coincide. You didn't read my comments in the image talk page where I explain how this image came about, did you? I'd appreciate it if you weren't so quick to shoot and ask questions later. — QuicksilverT @ 19:37, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
