License tagging for Image:CW39-HOUSTON.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:CW39-HOUSTON.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.

Windows 96/97
I saw this

In order to have the info in there, you have to prove the two OSes existed; original research isn't allowed on Wikipedia. WhisperToMe 02:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, instead of outright purging talk pages, you should archive them.

Make a User talk:Some Person/Archive 0 article with your old talk page notes :) WhisperToMe 20:01, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

WWOR-TV
I revamped the article on October 28, removing the logo gallery and placing the logos within the text. With all of the fair-use image galleries being purged from television articles, I felt compelled to make these changes, as I believe the images should be kept, gallery or not. As you can see, the logos are all placed in areas of the text based on chronology. Thus, I have reverted from your changes back to the previous version. Rollosmokes 06:40, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

TV Image galleries
Hey, I saw your page with the removed logos. Do you know why User:A Man In Black keeps removing the logos? I've heard them called "fair use", but doesn't that mean that we can use them under certain purposes such as representing the TV station? They serve a historical purpose. A Man In Black is not responding to my question on his talk page about why he is removing the logos, he's just going about it. Maybe we can challenge him or something? Mike Richardson 03:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't really know for sure. I've talked to A Man In Black on Wikipedia's IRC. He says they violate WP:FUC, but I'm not sure how. Some Person 04:29, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I've done some work on KHOU-TV and KTRK-TV integrating the logos into the article the same way User:Rollosmokes did with WWOR-TV. Hopefully it will stick. Mike Richardson 06:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Good job. I hope it stays too. I'd help out too, but I'm at the top of A Man In Black's most wanted list. Note that some images have actually been deleted; thats why I made the archive. It gives a source for these images at one place. Do you know anyone else removing image galleries by the way? If you do, please tell me so I can add their reverts to my archive. Some Person 00:12, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * A Man In Black took off the images again, even though they remain on the WWOR-TV article. On the KTRK-TV article he said in revert comments "None of these logos is a significant subject of commentary; scattering them around the article doesn't solve the problem". Does he have something against particular stations? He's the only one I've seen removing TV logo galleries. Mike Richardson 10:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe we can link to off-site images, like KRIV-TV. Mike Richardson 11:03, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Worth a try. I hope they stay. It's certainly a good idea. Some Person 20:36, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

The "unsigned" template and Talk:Inform
Regarding this edit. 1. The correct syntax for Template:Unsigned is: " UserNameOrIPAddressGoesHere . You want to use subst so it's replaced once and persists. And you need to give the username (or IP address) and date, or else it looks like gibberish.  2. You neglected to sign your own post.  The easiest solution is, of course " ~ " 3. "Don't post this crap on WP." Please do not bite the newcomers, even if they're completely clueless.  Consider providing constructive suggestions. Alan De Smet | Talk 05:45, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:607px-Ubuntu Logo.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:607px-Ubuntu Logo.svg.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. This also applies to Image:GoogleIcon.png --Durin 20:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Both of these images are still orphaned. Both images are fair use tagged. According to Fair use criteria item #9, fair use images may not be used outside of the main article namespace. This means they may not be used on templates or user pages. In the case of the Google icon, it matters not that you made the image yourself. It is a copy of the actual Google icon and therefore counts as a derivative work and Google, Inc. maintains rights on the image. It is therefore properly tagged as a fair use image. Please do not remove the orphaned fair use statements on these images unless these images become used in main namespace articles. If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Thanks, --Durin 02:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * They should not be orphaned. The Google one belongs on a userbox template, but others say it's copyrighted. It isn't, since I made it myself in Paint. The Ubuntu one is for my own personal userbox; are we not allowed to use them? Some Person 04:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


 * If you created the image, rather than using a copyright tag, try placing a license such as PD-self on the image page. This states that you created the image and basically anyone is free to use it as they please. -- AuburnPilot talk 04:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


 * A copyrighted image on a template is orphaned if it is not on a main namespace article. Templates are not main namespace articles. Neither are userpages. Furthermore, as I noted above, it does not matter if you created it yourself; the icon is a derivative work of the original owned by Google, Inc. Therefore, they retain rights to the image. It is properly tagged with a tag that limits it to fair use. Tagging it as pd-self would be entirely improper. Therefore, it may only exist on main namespace articles. Since it does not, it is currently orphaned. --Durin 05:34, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Ubuntu retains rights to this image, even if their software is free. Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/TrademarkPolicy/. I recommend you contact them to obtain release of their logo under a free license, such as GFDL. Until such time as this is done, the image must be used under fair use here and it is properly tagged. I have removed it from your userpage again. --Durin 14:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:GoogleIcon.png
As I have previously explained to you, this image constitutes a derivative work of http://www.google.com/favicon.ico and Google, Inc. retains rights. Even though you created the image yourself, you do not gain full rights to the image. If you were to re-draw the Coca-Cola logo, you do not gain rights to the logo. If you were to make a million t-shirts with that logo and sell them for profit, the Coca-Cola lawyers would be on your doorstep faster than you could put a t-shirt on. I have reverted tagging of the image as pd-self back to the appropriate logo tagging. Do not retag this image under a free license. The image remains orphaned. If it is not put into a main namespace article by November 24, it will be deleted. If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. However, retagging as a free-license image is not the way to proceed on this. --Durin 14:07, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
