License tagging for Image:Ferrari 365BB.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ferrari 365BB.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

V-12 engines at 180 degrees

While it's true that the 12-cylinder engine in the 365GT4BB, BB512, and Testarossa/512TR/F512M is a 180-degree V-engine derivative, it's not called a V-engine by anyone, because it's not a vee shape. It's not a boxer engine, as you correctly note. However, it is most widely -- and correctly -- dubbed a flat-12 (shortened to F-12, or even H-12). You'll find it listed on the flat-twelve engine page. It shares the alternating-pulse configuration of a V-engine, but the layout is distinct. As such, I really don't think it belongs on the list of V-12-engined cars, especially since the F-12 is listed at the bottom of the page in the Reciprocating engines and configurations cross-reference. For the same reason, we don't include W-12-engined cars on the list, even though their architecture is very similar to a vee-engine. Even on this site, the Ferrari Testarossa page talks about an F-12 or H-12 engine. Does that make sense? Sacxpert (talk) 08:34, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the reply. No worries about protocol. Most people just leave alternating messages on each other's pages for conversations like this -- that way you can immediately see that you have a new message when you visit any Wikipedia page. I agree with you about the key to consistency. Was thinking about a change to the lied, so that it says something like "V12 engines have bank angles from 60 to 180 degrees, with a 180-degree V12 commonly referred to as a Flat-12. Do you think that clears it up enough? Sacxpert (talk) 23:59, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Ferrari 365GT4BB.webp

A tag has been placed on File:Ferrari 365GT4BB.webp requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement of https://www.topspeed.com/cars/ferrari/1973-1976-ferrari-365-gt4-bb-ar79308/pictures.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
