Their images aren't free to use on Wikipedia

In case any future editors are wondering, the images on the Corbis website are very restricted legally, have not been licensed under the GFDL or released into the public domain, and cannot be copied and pasted over to Wikipedia to illustrate articles. This came up yesterday with

This is gillettorg, poster of the November 11th edit to the Corbis entry (and VP-IT at Corbis). If there is any questions about the updated Corbis Wiki entry please, Please let me know. There is currently no restricted content on the Corbis wiki update page so not sure why it was flagged.:Some of them are in fact in the public domain (either for age or because they are works of the U.S. federal government), but Corbis claims copyright on them anyway. Sigh. --Fastfission 00:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

It was tagged because the article appears to be mostly promotional material copied from Corbis's web site, which goes against WP:COPYRIGHT, WP:NPOV, and WP:NOT. Gazpacho 00:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

It was an updated biography of the company using templates from other wiki entries such as Yahoo, Google, and CNET as guidance We used a screen shot of the home page and faq data. Please let me know what I need to clarify and will do so, thanks. 12 November 2006 --gillettorg

(home page screen shot, company bio/history, etc..). It was the encyclopedic entry to add to the |gillettorg]]00:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I will try and post a less commercial version per the linked policies. Please review and let me know. overall wiki community and to the Corbis entry in particular. Is there an Arbitration that takes place next, not sure the next steps to resolve this. Thanks for any information. [[User:gillettorgThanks again for your guidance. gillettorg 00:53, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

There's nothing to arbitrate when the text added to an article has been copied verbatim from another web site. You either show that you obtained permission from the copyright holder or you don't. If you want to expand the article in your own words and without the promotional fluff, you can do that. Gazpacho 03:11, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Their images which are from the US Govt are in the public domain, as are all photos from pre-1923. They have also granted free use to non-profit organisations for some historic photos (so Wikipedia):- http://www.corbis.com/BettMann100/ImageDonation/PDF/Corbis_Guidelines.pdf

Good sources for more material:

Please consider that Corbis is a type of Roman Basket.

It was also used for household purposes. In form it tapered downwards like that called _corbis_ by the Romans. (from Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary ). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.142.229.6 (talk) 22:03, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

SAP?

Does anyone care if they run SAP? I've removed it as it seems to me to simply be promotional material for SAP.82.39.157.193 (talk) 23:39, 1 October 2010 (UTC)lanzarotemaps
