License tagging for Image:FFR Logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:FFR Logo.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.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 04:07, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Commercial puffery
I toned down your copy to make it less promotional. The previous article was deleted by others (over my objection), as being too self-promoting (rather than the editor simply removing the objectionable parts). You may want to further refine the article but I advise that you keep the tone neutral and avoid puffery. Note that the logo should be used under either "fair use" assertion since the owner would likely not want to release it under some public license. You may wish to uhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrightspload illustrative pictures, contact me if necessary for license advice. Best wishes, - Leonard G. 17:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the assistance and information. My intent was to create the initial article (I noted that the previous one was deleted) and then allow others to elaborate. I'm not sure if that's going to occur or not. I sent some messages out to interested parties so maybe they will contribute.


 * I would like to add some pictures but I was a bit confused by the copyright requirements. I attempted to note the logo as copyright but I don't believe I did it correctly. I'll look into it further and once I figure it out, I'll try doing some pictures.


 * Last, I saw the discussion you had with Trident regarding the removal of the original article. I used the article on Superformance as a reference when I created the stub for Factory Five. This is a similar kit car company although they enjoy full licensing from the original creator of the car that most kits model after. Best Regards, Thagdor 05:36, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * For an example of a fair use assertion see Image:Ford Motor Company Logo.svg. For any images that are official by the company but released for informational purposes see the share-alike with attribution image Image:Energy Innovations Sunflower six-unit test 092205.jpg. For snapshots that you take personally there are a number of licenses, but releasing as PD-self (public domain) is the most open. Licenses such as noncommercial use only are depreciated and are no longer available. Images with watermarks or more visible labling on the image are discouraged. In general, other than the fair use of logos, book jackets, and film posters and other such items used for critical or educational purposes (often limited to US use), the images should be freely useable, and print quality resolutions are preferred.
