Image Tagging Image:Park Ji Sung.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Park Ji Sung.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will 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. Panairjdde 14:45, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

But I took this image from the newspapers. Soccerking 12:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Newspapers buy their images too, so it is under copyright. GFDL-self is to be used only on images You yourself have made. feydey 12:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Please note that photos taken from newspapers or other websites will almost certainly be copyrighted either by the owner of the newspaper or by the photographer and are unacceptable for use by Wikipedia. In this case, the link you yourself provided clearly identifies the photo as copyright: Reuters. The only photos you can be absolutely sure are not a copyright problem are those you took yourself.

your image uploads
Please do not upload any more copyrighted images of footballers and marking them as promotional. The tag is for photographs that come in press kits and promotional materials. Images found at FIFAworldcup.com and other commercial sites are part of the sites' content, not promotional material.

Fair use rationale for Image:Ryan giggs.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ryan giggs.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will 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. Ytny 00:16, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

image:koji_nakata2.JPG
Thanks for uploading the cropped picture of Hide. I was wondering if you could rename the file? There is another Japanese soccer player named Koji Nakata, so, even though the picture is linked to the correct article, some people might be confused. (In fact, When I saw the diff report on Hidetoshi Nakata, I was almost ready to revert it out of hand, until I looked at the picture in the article.) Neier 10:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Zidane.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Zidane.jpg. 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.

Image:Milan Baros.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Milan Baros.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image 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 image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image 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 image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will 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. Quentin X 21:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
