Pictures
- The easiest way to get photographs is to go out with a camera- but what a day to choose, you need blue sky , low level sun, and sufficient heat so your index finger doesn t fuse to the camera! If you have any ideas on what would be the most desirable let me know. ClemRutter (talk) 00:21, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Images & Copyright question
I've posted this elsewhere, but maybe someone can answer me.
I've been trying to find the answer to a question about images without success. Pictures created before 1923 are copyright expired from what I can discover. Does that mean that I can download a picture of a (pre 1923) postcard from the internet to my computer, and then upload it to Wikipedia, or must I actually have the card in my possession, take my own picture of it, then upload my picture that I took myself? There are pictures that I want to add to articles, but I don't want to break the rules in order to do it! Mjroots (talk) 21:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Postcards
Here's where it gets interesting. In the US there is a famous case called Bridgeman, which held that under US copyright law, exact photographic reproductions of public domain works were public domain. The problem is that no such case has happened in the UK, indeed the work that went into producing a work ("Sweat of the brow") may be enough to re-copyright an exact reproduction. Basically the whole thing is clear as mud. The clearest and most straightforward things to do are either:
- Contact the seller and ask them for permission to use the images
- Buy the postcards and scan them

Unspecified source for Image:Oast7.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Oast7.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 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 04:10, 21 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih (talk) 04:10, 21 December 2007 (UTC) Done Mjroots (talk) 08:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Commons
You may have noticed that I never upload photographs to Wkipedia- where the usage is limited to English Wikipedia. I always put them on Commons then always put a Geotag in the description, so I locate where the camera was when the photo was taken. This then displays on the overlay on GoogleMaps. I have transfered over most of my legacy photos. I will write a section on my user page, sometime today to describe the techniques I use.ClemRutter (talk) 09:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Its not a chore, it's therapeutic! It allows to reconnect with the past! Anyway the description on how to use Commonist and Geo tools is now on my user page. There is a tool to help with geotagging back catalogues- I'll add that next. But in the meantime the article will make the that process 10 times faster.

Creative Commons photos on Flickr
Bad news these can't be used- the licence is too restrictive. I am no expert but do watch the Village Pump etc.; these fail because they are non-commercial and non-derivative. You see the licence details on Flickr, under Additional information. There are icons and a link to CreativeCommons, click it. Wikipedia Commons only accepts CC, CC by, and CC by SA licenses- ie completely open licences. ClemRutter (talk) 15:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:N831RV.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:N831RV.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 non-free media 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Mill images
Fair use is independent of the licensing conditions on the site- the whole point of fair use (when used correctly, obviously) is that you may use copyrighted material without consent of the owner. However, I agree that there are a few issues with those images (they're too big, for a start) and as you tagged them, I'll delete under G7- author's request. J Milburn (talk) 17:13, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- (Sorry, didn't see your message about putting the comment in the correct place.) Well, as I say, if they are genuinely under fair use, we can use them without paying in legal terms, but I would imagine that they would want to protect their assets if the images have that much commercial value, and may potentially play hell, so finding slightly friendlier images is probably in our best interests!

License for Image:Image:Stiens 1974-1.jpg
The image :Image:Stiens 1974-1.jpg is a candidate to be copied to the Wikimedia Commons. When you uploaded this image, you licensed it for use under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). On behalf of the Wikipedia and Commons communities, thank you. However, the GFDL requires that reproductions of the image (and any other GFDL-licenced works), must be accompanied by the full text of the GFDL. The GFDL is intended more for documentation and not images, so downstream re-users may be hindered by additional restrictions of the GFDL which may not work well on the use of one image.
Before I copy this image to the Commons, I wanted to ask whether you would be willing to multilicense your work under an additional license, such as a Creative Commons licence. Creative Commons licences, such as the Attribution Share-Alike license provide a similar copyleft permission to the GFDL, but without some of its requirements such as the distribution of the licence text. All you need to do, is place the additional license tag alongside your current license. Users can choose between which one they want to use the image under. There are many free licenses accepted on Wikipedia and Commons which can provide freedoms similar to the GFDL, but without some of its requirements.
You are under no obligation whatsoever to alter the license. Doing so merely cooperates with those members of the community who believe that multilicensing your work can ease the reuse of images outside of Wikipedia.
If you use a GFDL license tag which requires distribution of Wikipedia's general disclaimer (indicated by "Subject to disclamiers" in the template), it is also suggested that you switch it to one which does not apply them.
Whether or not you choose to dual-license your work, thank you for your consideration.
Please also see Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons for more information.

Speedy deletion of Image:Horse tram, Southampton.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Horse tram, Southampton.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Horse tram, Southampton.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. BG7even 13:24, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:SS LESBIAN (3).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 made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}}
(to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

HMS Archer (D78)
Thanks for your message on my talk page [2]. My memory of image uploads from four years ago is more than a little hazy, but I will try to help as best I can. Searches at Haze Gray and the Naval Historical Center turned up nothing quite like the photo in question, but I think I found it at NavSource [3]. The image there has "IWM" listed for "Contributed By And/Or Copyright." Today I presume that stands for the Imperial War Museum, but back in 2005 I probably did not know and just assumed it fell under the "Or Images Believed To Be In The Public Domain" listed on the site's copyright information page [4]. However four years later (and with a significantly better understanding of WP:IUP), I recognize that is not a good assumption to make. I also tried searching the Imperial War Museum web site, but while I found a similar photo [5], I could not find this image.
How do you feel we should proceed from here? My recollection is that after uploading around a dozen images of escort carriers in September 2005, I decided that my understanding of IUP was not nuanced enough and I stopped. These images should probably be reviewed and deleted as necessary. I will double-check with a MILHIST coordinator and if they concur, I will start sometime this week. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience, — Kralizec! (talk) 15:08, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Loose Valle Mills.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Loose Valle Mills.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:50, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Files missing description details
are missing a description and/or other details on their image description pages. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the images, and they will be more informative to readers.
If the information is not provided, the images may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.
If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Theo's Little Bot (error?) 09:32, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Orphaned non-free image File:Rakaia-painting.jpg

NFC
Would this image meet NFC? - [6]? I want to use it in an article we have been working on. Cheers, FriyMan talk 18:31, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- @FriyMan: There is a very good chance that an image can be used under WP:NFCC rules, if it can be shown to meet all criteria. Mjroots (talk) 18:50, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you, I will upload the image under WP:NFC. I will update the infobox. Cheers, FriyMan talk 19:09, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- @FriyMan: - done my best to argue for the retention of the file. Fingers crossed. Mjroots (talk) 20:22, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
