Image Tagging Image:EdgarWhitcomb.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:EdgarWhitcomb.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image:Thatcherautograph.JPG

Hi. I noticed that you uploaded the above image, and I was wondering why you tagged it as your own creation? Surely Margaret Thatcher is the creator of her own signature? Unless there is some specific ruling about signatures, I would expect that uploading images of them is along the same lines as scanning a page from a book. The person who scanned the image may have created the scan, but the author of the book owns the copyright on the content of the scan. Do you happen to know of any guidance about this issue? If not, I will check with some other users here to find out. Thanks. Road Wizard 06:53, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rather random I know, and a good year late, but to quote the article on autographs: 'Under United States Copyright Law, autographs are not eligible for copyright, as they are "titles, names...mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring".'

Image source problem with Image:DuPontPierre.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:DuPontPierre.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Seidenstud (talk) 01:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:WBacon.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:WBacon.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 23:35, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
