Image:Kanybano.jpeg
Described as self-made and published in RYM. RYM is http://rateyourmusic.com, a fan-site that has no oversight of copyright issues on uploaded images. Image is claimed as an official cover for the single "Amigo en el Baño" but is not seen on any commercial site or product. Uploader also failed to state the original source and copyright of Kany Garcia's portrait used for this fan-made picture. — Jappalang (talk) 06:21, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Uploader has a long history of uploading copyright violations with spurious PD tags. See also. Stifle (talk) 10:33, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Image:Joe.jpg
There are six different images uploaded at this title (not counting the eight deleted revisions and the one existing and two deleted versions on Commons). I suspect that none of them may actually be free. The latest revision, depicting Joseph Attieh and used therein, has been uploaded by the same user as Image:E D 0383.jpg, currently on, which is also tagged as free but appears to be copied from. (I'm taking this here rather than to IfD, since the proximate issue is the freeness of the version currently in use. However, regardless of the outcome, I'd like to suggest that this particular title be deleted and salted against recreation, with any free versions reuploaded under a more descriptive and unique title.)  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 18:22, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Image:Lord viswanatha temple view.jpg
Blatantly scanned in from a poster or magazine of some sort, and as such the uploader is unlikely to be the copyright holder as is claimed. &mdash; neuro(talk) 22:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

This need not be deleted as this photograph was from our family album of our village temple. We own this photograph. This temple photograph is important for this article as it lends credence to the events associated with saint referred in this artice. This is incidentally published in some magazine by someone who took a copy of our photograph with our permission and in no way connected to our photograph. It is freely distributable to public.

I have uploaded a scanned photo of the Lord Visalakshi-Vishwanatha Tower in the discussion page of the article - Can I upload it in the main article itself? Kbala1055 (talk) 11:15, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Image:Bilicflickrphoto.jpg
Claimed to be free, but on its flickr page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/sergioquiros/2616664638/), it specifically states "All rights reserved", which according to Upload/Flickr, means it is NOT OK here. — Jappalang (talk) 22:30, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You are reading the Copyright tag for the actual website itself. Flickr images are one of the most common on Wikipedia because of their free license. Every page of Flickr that you click on, including any image page, will always display the fine printed Copyright tag at the bottom. There is a blatant misunderstanding here. The Copyright is not specifically for the image but the webpage and domain itself. If you follow the links (which are also provided on the image page) you will find Flickr's Terms of Use and Copyright Policy, which expands just what that tag you are referring to means.

 * Your words have shown your misunderstanding of Flickr's purpose and its structure. It is also evident that Image:Bilicflickrphoto.jpg never had permission to be posted here and thus is a violation of Sergio Quiros's copyright.  Aside from reading Elcobbola's explanation below,  please read "How can I copyright my photos?" at Flickr's FAQ.  All uploads are granted a copyright to its uploader (validity of ownership is another matter which Flickr handles through complaint channels).  Hence, every image page will list "All rights reserved" unless the owner specifically requests for another licence: To add a license for a specific picture, click the "Change" link next to your current photo license (usually set to "All rights reserved") near the bottom of your photo page. On the Privacy and Permissions settings page, click the "Add a license to your photo" link on the right side of the page, near the bottom. On the next page, select one of the Creative Commons licenses.  If you wish to find free images at Flickr, please peruse Flickr commons or creative commons, although for the latter Upload/Flickr still has to be abided with.

 * Speedy Delete - if this were on the Commons, I would have already deleted it as a copyvio. Every image on Flickr has its own license; there is no site-wide license for images uploaded by Flickr users (and certainly not an unrelated Yahoo Australia page, as is being used here).  Not all Flickr images are freely licensed.  License information is under the "additional information" header to the right of the image.  Here it is clearly "all rights reserved".  This is Flickr 101.  Эlcobbola  talk 03:40, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Image:Tyra banks 08.jpg
The uploader clearly states that it's from WireImage, yet claims to be the copyright holder of the image. SKS2K6 (talk) 00:00, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
