All deleted. However, four of the five images are on Commons too, and I am going to nominate them for deletion there. There was a suggestion that these could be considered as fair use; if anyone wishes to make a fair use claim for the images, contact me on my talk page. Stifle (talk) 11:56, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Theme passages from copyrighted works of music. Copyright tags totally incorrect; no credit to John Williams at all. No evidence the uploader is the copyright holder, as copyright tag claims. Powers T 13:27, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Note: A compelling fair-use argument could be made, but since five files are affected I wanted to gain consensus on the facts of the case before making changes. Powers T 13:29, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Howdy. I plan on redoing those files, along with a slew of others when I have some free time. Since they were first posted, I've read up on fair-use usage. However, I'm still not totally sure what exactly they need to be, so any help is appreciated. Feel free to change the current ones if you want to. Hobbes35 (talk) 19:31, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, as far as I know, you can't release them into the public domain, as you claimed to have done. The copyright rests with either John Williams, Lucasfilm, or 20th Century Fox.  Probably Lucasfilm, but I'm not sure.  Either way, the correct copyright tag appears to be Non-free sheet music.  If that's the case, we will also need a Non-free use rationale for each image describing its use on the article Star Wars music, and any other places it appears.  Powers T 10:43, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Uploader unlikely to own image, same picture on city website http://www.choosecornwall.ca/uploads/images/Cornwall%20City%20skyline.jpg Svgalbertian (talk) 19:05, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Given the latter is lower-resolution, isn't it more likely the city took this ostensibly free image and used it on their site? Powers T 20:10, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Several days before uploading the current version the user had uploaded the above version from choosecornwall.ca (File:Cornwall_City_skyline.jpg). I highly doubt if they owned the original that they take an inferior copy from the cities page first. --Svgalbertian (talk) 22:15, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * A fair point. Powers T 23:46, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Most the images this user has uploaded are copied from other sources (see: User_talk:Carrot_top25). Given that picture is of professional quality, and is used by the city I would suspect he is not the creator.--Svgalbertian (talk) 21:18, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I just noticed several days before uploading the current version that the user had uploaded the version from http://www.choosecornwall.ca/ (File:Cornwall_City_skyline.jpg). I highly doubt if they owned the original that they would steal of copy from the cities page.--Svgalbertian (talk) 21:26, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Needs ticket, posting here just in case someone wants to get one. ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  20:29, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello to Wikipedia's staff and editors. I'm a journalist/author named Fergus G MacIntyre. Some of my readers have created an entry for me on Wikipedia; I'm listed on Wikipedia as "F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre". Nice entry, and with fewer inaccuracies than most other pieces about me.

It's been brought to my attention that you have a copyright question about the photo that appears on my Wikipedia page. (Spectator2003.jpg) The photo shows me standing in the centre between two colleagues of mine: Boris Johnson (now mayor of London) and Arthur Wellesley, Marquess of Douro OBE, who is the chairman of the Montblanc Foundation.

The photo was originally taken with my consent, but it was posted to Wikipedia without my authorisation. However, I have no objection to this, and I retroactively approve it. The photographer who took the photo has given the original photograph to me, and has also given me all rights to the image.

I am therefore the holder of the copyright in the image in question, and I give you full permission to post Spectator2003.jpg on Wikipedia indefinitely.

To verify my ownership of this image, you can go to the following page on my personal website:

http://www.sff.net/people/fgwyn/gwynpix.htm

At that URL, you will see the same photo that appears on my Wikipedia page, and you will ALSO see a copyright notice stating that the image is copyright to me, F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre. As copyright holder, I have just given you full permission for free use of the image.

In case you doubt the authenticity or authorship of this message, you can go to the home page on my website --

http://www.sff.net/people/fgwyn/gateway.htm

-- where, on the lower left side of the screen, you will see a prompt titled "Contact Me". If you click on that prompt, you will be able to send a confirmatory email to borroloola@earthlink.net ... which is the email address of F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre, as verified by the SFWA membership directory and other sources.

Neither Mr Johnson nor Lord Douro has any objection to this use of the image; they have confirmed this to me.

Wikipedia have posted one other image of me. On your bio page for the author E. Nesbit, there is a photograph of Nesbit's oddly-shaped gravestone with a man crouching behind it. That man is me, the same person seen in the photo on your Wikipedia bio page for F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre.

The Nesbit photo was taken by my friend Mike Ashley, the Edgar Award-winning editor and anthologist, who lives in Kent near the churchyard where Nesbit is buried. Mike informs me that he originally posted this photo to your bio page for Nesbit, with a caption identifying me (F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre) as the man in the photo, and explaining that my own fiction writing has been profoundly influenced by Nesbit's. (E. Nesbit appears as a character in a novel I wrote, "The Woman Between the Worlds".) Apparently some later person on Wikipedia edited the caption on your Nesbit page to remove the mention of me, without deleting the photo itself.

Again, to verify this, you can go back to the photos page on my own website --

http://www.sff.net/people/fgwyn/gwynpix.htm

-- and scroll down until you see the identical photo of me behind E. Nesbit's gravestone, just as it appears on Wikipedia ... under the same copyright notice identifying me, F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre, as holder of copyright to this image.

After Mike Ashley took this photo, he gave me the original with all rights and copyright. Again, as copyright holder, I give you full permission for free use of the E. Nesbit image, indefinitely ... although I wish that someone would edit the photo's caption to indicate that I am the person behind Nesbit's gravestone.

If you have any questions or comments about any of the above, please feel free to contact me via email at borroloola@earthlink.net ... thank you. Good luck with your site! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.170.59.139 (talk) 17:43, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The permission would need to be sent through to permissions-en@wikimedia.org from an email address associated with the site where the image was originally published. Needless to say, you could be anyone posting here, so we can't accept your post. Stifle (talk) 11:39, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
