Stop

I'm not sure what you're playing at, but stop removing images from Harry Potter-related articles. faithless (^speak) 02:55, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not playing at anything. i was told that wikipedia does not Host copyrighted images and therefore i am removing them. there is no game, but rules are put in place for a reason and if 1 person has to follow them, everyone does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmett-Rosalie-Cullen (talk • contribs) 03:08, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's image policy. Copyrighted images are acceptable if accompanied by an acceptable fair use rationale and used appropriately. faithless (^speak) 03:18, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 03:09, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again, please stop

If you continue to remove images from articles, you will be blocked from editing. If you have a specific question, I will help you. Or you could go to the help desk or the village pump. But if you continue removing images, you will be blocked. faithless (^speak) 03:29, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What questions would i have? i tried to add images to some articles and i did EXACTLY as i was supposed to, i provided all the information and yet my images were still deleted, saying that they were copyrighted images? so what questions would i have except 1. Why is it my images were deleted, and yet other people can post copyrighted images and them NOT get deleted. if you can answer this for me, i'd really appreciate it--Emmett-Rosalie-Cullen (talk) 03:32, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did you upload the image to Commons? If so, it would have been deleted, as Commons is for free content only. To upload a copyrighted image, you must upload it directly to Wikipedia. faithless (^speak) 03:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I already tried to upload it directly to here. but everytime i click upload file, it says about me logging in, When i am already, and then it suggest i create an account at the commons, which i did. i upload files there and it gets deleted. and it won't let me upload here. if you can fix this problem where i can upload images for articles WITHOUT them being deleted, than i'd say we'd have no problem. but it just seems to me that i'm the only 1 here that can't contribute. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmett-Rosalie-Cullen (talk • contribs) 03:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the image and where is it from? I'll try to walk you through it. faithless (^speak) 03:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are several images i would like to use. I was trying to update harry and ginny's profile pics with an OOTP head shot. got it from the Harry and Ginny network and i got their permission to use it. A couple other pictures i would like to upload are Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Bella, Edward, and Esme from Twilight. I got them from another site. BellaandEdward.com and i got permission to use them as well.--Emmett-Rosalie-Cullen (talk) 04:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are these pictures of the actual actors portraying the characters? If so, it is highly unlikely that the fansites you mentioned own them, and therefore wouldn't be able to grant you permission to use them. If they aren't, and they're fan art or something along those lines, they are inappropriate for Wikipedia. As far as Harry and Ginny go, those articles already contain copyrighted images, so there really is no reason to add more.

It also looks like the articles for most of the Twilight characters will soon be merged into a "list" article. There is a guideline (which I vehemently oppose, but c'est la vie) that says non-free images shouldn't be used in such articles. Therefore, if you were to upload pictures for all of those minor characters, there is a good chance that they would be deleted if/when the articles are merged. faithless (^speak) 04:40, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just to point out, the images I think that you are trying to upload are from the Twilight calander, which is copyrighted. The picture of Bella you uploaded to Commons, I can reupload to Wikipedia, and we can use that, but the other images probably shouldn't be uploaded, as in a couple of days, they will most likely be merged. What we can do, instead of having individual pictures, is have the cast photo in the article to show everyone in that one picture. ~ Bella Swan^? 16:05, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
