Please do not replace existing free images with copyrighted images. Thanks. --Yamla 02:55, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Additionally, please do not use blatantly false licenses on the images you upload. Copyright violations are considered very serious. Thanks. --Yamla 02:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bert mcCraken.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 02:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Mylovepic1.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mylovepic1.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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.

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Yamla 02:59, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked for 24 hours for your continued violation of Wikipedia image copyright and fair-use requirements. --Yamla 03:52, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

You have been blocked for 48 hours. Your first action back from your previous block was to blatantly violate Wikipedia's image copyright and fair-use policies once again. If you are caught doing this again, your next block will be for substantially longer. Please refrain from uploading images without the mandatory information and also please refrain from replacing existing free images with copyrighted images. See WP:FUC. Your continued violations put Wikipedia directly at risk for legal action and as a result, these violations are treated very seriously. --Yamla 13:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:281x211.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Stacy Ferguson Default Picture

You said: "Hello Yamla, I know I havent been the best wiki editor, since I've been banned twice by you for image licensing, well that isnt intentional for I'm still trying to learn how to license, the wikipedia articles are helpful but confusing.It seems tho that you have a problem with the Stacy Ferguson page having a better, more recent default.We all know Fergie is known for her looks and how she doesn't care to mention that in her songs, My Humps and Fergalicious. So the picture for her page is very bad example of what many people know her for and just a old picture. I understand it cant be copyrighted and all but if you go to other peoples pages as for example, Danity Kane, and Kevin Federline, their pictures are either promotional or an album cover, when fans of fergie try to upload those, its reverted or changed, if they license it wrong i understand, but i put a promotional pic of her up and licened it under fair use images, just as the danity kane pic, mine was rev and i was banned for another day.it seems as if you either are hard on people trying to put a new pic up of her on there or just hard on newcomers period, you've discouaraged people to edit on here and i just think you need a better apporach, i mean come on, its a online encyclopedia, you have to shun people if they accidently put the wrong license under a picture, "OH HEAVENS!"."

I understand that you may not like the image and I agree we could maybe find a more recent and better picture. But we are not permitted to replace an existing free image with a copyrighted image (see WP:FUC). You were told about this but continued doing this. You were blocked because your actions put Wikipedia at direct risk for a copyright infringement lawsuit. Wikipedia has to take violations of its copyright and fair-use policies very seriously. Now, you raise a good point that other articles also have images that violate this policy. This is undoubtedly true. However, the best approach would be for you to mark those images appropriately. It is not an excuse for you to ignore the policy yourself. Now, this message sounds harsher than I intended. I understand that you are trying to improve the Wikipedia and I (and Wikipedia generally) thanks you for doing so. I hope you understand that the reason you were blocked (not banned) is that your actions after you had been warned were exposing the Wikipedia to danger of lawsuits. The real problem here is that copyright is a very tricky issue to really understand and furthermore, Wikipedia really doesn't like copyrighted images. I wish there was a good way to warn new editors, "stay away from copyrighted images, there are rabbits with big nasty pointed teeth lurking there!". --Yamla 14:46, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Please note that I have unblocked you. You have shown that you are at least trying to understand the copyright and fair-use issues, and what you've been doing incorrectly. I would ask and suggest that you stay away from copyrighted images, though, at least until you've read and understoood WP:FUC. --Yamla 14:48, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Removing tags

You removed the no-license tag from Image:Justinsexybackmakingthevideocap1.JPG without providing an appropriate license and detailed fair-use rationale. This is considered vandalism, but you have the benefit of the doubt today. Please don't do that again, though. --Yamla 19:49, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


Image:Sf62.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sf62.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Yamla 19:32, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Khelonow07.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Khelonow07.JPG. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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:Fair use, 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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 19:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


Fair use rationale for Image:Khelonow07.JPG

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Khelonow07.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 19:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Blocked

Your very first action back from your previous block was to upload an image which is in violation of WP:FU. Your account has been blocked for one month. --Yamla 18:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message to yamla

i request a unblock for my account.I've been on vacation for about a month since thanksgiving, and i have no clue whats going on. My brother said he used my account when I was gone and I think he stirred even more trouble.As if im not in enough, just look at this page. He said he even sent some false message saying I was intoxicated at the times of the editing to get it unblocked before I came back.Of course, Yamla didnt bite the story so I come home and I'm like wtf? Im sorry for this mishap and Im changing my password as soon as possible.I know this sounds a little fishy but i promise you, this was a shock.The last time i was on was Novemeber 26. ANYthing after that is a scam.

I'm sorry but it is your responsibility to protect your account. I do strongly urge you to change your password but you are going to have to sit out your block. --Yamla 01:29, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
