Source of an image?

Hello, Laurence. I'm running a list through the featured list process at present, and one of the images on it is File:Ed Davey 01.jpg. One commentator has pointed out that the image doesn't have a source or an author. As you uploaded the photograph originally, can you add these details to the image page, please? Thanks, Bencherlite ^Talk 11:42, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really sure what to do here. Laurence Boyce (talk) 16:40, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In other words, who took the photo (you or somebody else, and if so, who)? If somebody else took it, where did you get it from? When and where was the photo taken? The more details, the better! Bencherlite ^Talk 22:30, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I took it in January 2008 at the London School of Economics. Laurence Boyce (talk) 14:49, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Allison Pearson 01.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Allison Pearson 01.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.

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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:41, 17 June 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:41, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is perfectly clear that I am the creator from the copyright notice: "I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby grant permission . . ." If you want to be a total pedant and delete all my images, then please go ahead and knock yourself out. Laurence Boyce (talk) 13:41, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NowCommons: File:Andrew Duff.JPG

File:Andrew Duff.JPG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Andrew Duff.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Andrew Duff.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 15:46, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wereon on a rampage?

Wereon has repeatedly removed a legitimate Wikipedia link to the Julian Huppert page. I support your actions in reinstating the link to this notable man. Perhaps we could bandage Wereon's claws till he calms down ;-)

NigelHarris (talk) 08:30, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And, you'll notice, I've not done it since Huppert's lack of notability was contested. There's no point in having a link which redirects to the same page one is on. Wereon (talk) 16:33, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Keith Porteous Wood 02.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Keith Porteous Wood 02.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 19:45, 21 May 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:45, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:Ken Clarke 01.jpg needs authorship information.

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Ken Clarke 01.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which:{{subst:usernameexpand|Laurence Boyce}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
or use the {{own}} template..

If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:24, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Nelson's uniform.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Nelson's uniform.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:46, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
