File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Aaron Robinson (composer).jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Aaron Robinson (composer).jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely 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. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

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 also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 17:54, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Amy. Copyright is an issue we take very seriously and it must be clearcut without any questionable issues because there are many claims image are free when the are actually copyright violations. Unfortunately the above two images still have major problems. Most images you find on the internet are copyright to someone and cannot be used here. While you have now provided a source for each image neither of those source pages shows a copyright notice so we cannot confirm the image is freely licenced. BTW, the image you uplaoded File:Aaron Robinson (composer).jpg is not the same as the one at the source you provided; that's another problem right there. Every uploaded image must have an appropriate copyright tagas released by the copyright holder, which these do not have. I very much doubt the permission that you received from the hosting websites is valid as both of the images are professional looking portraits, so they probably don't hold the copyright and therefore cannot give you permission to use them. The photographer is often the copyright holder and that copyright holder, who could be the subject of the images if it was a work for hire, must verify their permission by following the procedure found at WP:CONSENT. Please follow that route to confirm the permission alleged. You may find it useful to read my image copyright information page for a better understanding of some of the issues involved in this complex topic. Any questions, just ask. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 19:52, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@ww2censor thank you. yes. i am new to this. i understand now what is needed to properly upload an image. if i have one in my own personal possession and give permission to wikipedia that would be the best ideal situation. or if i was granted permission directly from the photographer who also set up some kind of permission granted for wikipedia. that would be the best as well. ok. i am still learning. i will try again at a later date to find an image that is without any questionable issues. thanks for the help. amy(talk to me) 02:43, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, here's the deal. Possession of a photo does not confer any rights on the possessor, only the copyright holder can give away rights. This is usually the photographer, though in a work for hire the person paying may acquire the copyright. So, if you can get the copyright holder to agree to licence the image freely (by verifying their permission having followed the procedure found at WP:CONSENT), this is the next best situation to you taking a photo yourself and simple releasing it under a free licence yourself. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 19:29, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
