File source and copyright licensing problem with File:AcademiesIMGMap.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:AcademiesIMGMap.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.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 15:09, 28 October 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:09, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

October 2010

Your addition to IMG Academies has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. (ESkog)^(Talk) 15:12, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not re-insert the copyrighted material into this article again. Not only is it blatant advertising, which is inappropriate for Wikipedia, the copyright for that material is held by the original creator. You cannot just copy and paste content from other web sites for use here. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing. (ESkog)^(Talk) 15:50, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If there is inaccurate information, you should feel free to fix it. However, just copying the text from your company's web site is probably not going to work here. Even if we got a release from your company that frees up the text under an appropriate free license, it would still be too much of an advertisement and not enough of an encyclopedia article. Check out the articles on some of your competitors, or our guidelines here, to see about developing an article in a more appropriate tone. (ESkog)^(Talk) 16:22, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:AcademiesLogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:AcademiesLogo.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:05, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:AcademiesLogo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:AcademiesLogo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
