Deserted Movie Theatrical Release Poster.jpg
This upload request has been accepted. Please do not modify it.
This request for upload has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the submission text.
Description: This image is the official theatrical release poster for the movie 'Deserted' starring Mischa Barton, Winter Ave Zoli, Trent Ford, Dana Rosendorff, Lance Henrikson and Jake Busey. The film was released theatrically October 6, 2016 and was released on VOD February 28, 2017 on FlixFling, Amazon, iTunes, Dish Network, Time Warner, DirecTV, XFinity, Verizon FiOS and more. The films available in the United States, Canada, Japan, UK, France, Australia and Sweden.
License: Fair Use Request. This theatrical release poster falls under the category of "Acceptable Use" for 'Images" under "Item 4" where it states "Other promotional material: Posters, programs, billboards, ads. For critical commentary". There is also no free equivalent that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose. This image has been used widely in association with the film Deserted to help people identify the content, and I believe it will continue to serve that purpose on wikipedia.
Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: Article to be used on wikipedia page associated with the film, Deserted (2016). Please note that this article has been drafted and has been subjected for review with a wait time of as much as 3 weeks.
Not done - MischaBartonfan1: Non-free content may only be used on published articles, and cannot be added to drafts. The draft has been declined as recently as yesterday. You will need to request the image once the draft is accepted and published. GMGtalk14:02, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
User:GreenMeansGo, the article was declined at AfC on 21 September but then improved and subsequently accepted on the next day. The article is now at Deserted (2016 film), so I think that the request should be accepted (provided that the poster is correct – I haven't double-checked it). --Stefan2 (talk) 23:00, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
Not done - Kurushi21, I see no indication that the content is covered under a creative commons license, and the website in fact includes a claim of copyright. We also cannot upload non-free content for use in future articles. All non-free content must be in use in a published article or it is liable to be deleted. You may file a new request once an article is published. GMGtalk17:59, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: Photos of the artwork are unique and cannot be found uncopyrighted and the photo of Shala. is used with permission.
Not done for multiple reasons, although I'll leave this uncollapsed in case someone wants to disagree with me. None of this artwork appears to be notable in an of itself, and while it's presence would certainly improve the article (which has multiple serious issues not related to images), it is not clear that its presence in the article is essential for an encyclopedic understanding of the individual, who is apparently notable for more than being an artist.
As a living person, and a public figure, a potentially free headshot of comparable encyclopedic value could be created at virtually every public appearance the individual will ever make. Consider contacting the individual by email and asking them to release a self taken photograph, or some other photograph clearly owned by them, for use in the article by following the guidance at WP:CONSENT. GMGtalk13:07, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
Comment: The article seems to be Shala. Not to be mixed up with Shala. I'm not able to access the images (at least not without logging in).
A non-free photo of a living artist is unacceptable per WP:NFC#UUI §1.
It tends to be acceptable to illustrate an article about an artist with 1-2 images of artworks by the artist. If the artwork is a sculpture, then permission is needed from the photographer per WP:FREER. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:06, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
File upload request declined. It's now possible for me to see the images. Not sure why I couldn't see them before. These images are unacceptable as there is no evidence of permission from the photographers. --Stefan2 (talk) 11:55, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Schwan's Company Current Logo circa 2017
This upload request has been accepted. Please do not modify it.
This request for upload has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the submission text.
Description: This image is the current logo for Schwan's Company, new logo as of April 2017.
Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: The logo image for Schwan's Company's wikipedia article currently being shown is the old logo for the company. Would like to update image to the new logo.
Comment: I uploaded the SVG as File:Logo for Schwan's Company.svg. However, the PNG generated by MediaWiki is all black. The file looks correct if I open the SVG directly in my browser, though. Any idea what's wrong? I suppose we could always use the PNG instead.
Use of the logo here does not imply endorsement of the organization by Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, nor vice versa.

Not doneAtomHmother. All non-free images must be currently in use in existing articles. You may resubmit your request once the article is published. GMGtalk15:10, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
Closed - Draft is currently not submtited for review, and is currently unsourced, overall probably promotional, and currently unlikely to be accepted if submitted. Please resubmit your request once the draft has been improved and published. GMGtalk12:34, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Liquid Web Logo 2017
This upload request has been accepted. Please do not modify it.
This request for upload has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the submission text.
Description: The new logo for the web-hosting company Liquid Web. This logo was released with their new branding in the last year.
License: N/A; no explicit license, usage on Wikipedia would be considered fair-use. As this is a logo the reasoning is pretty straight forward, Logos are protected by trademark but not copyright. Essentially all logos (in the US) are considered Fair use and don't require permission to use.
Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: The main Liquid Web page, because there are currently no images and adding the logo seems logical. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_Web
Anon. Walmart auto care does not appear to have a stand alone article, nor a stand alone section in the main article for Walmart. GMGtalk10:55, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
File upload request declined. No valid use for this. There has to be a specific reason why we would upload this image. Without a standalone article or at the very least a section to put it in there is no use for this. --Majora (talk) 19:23, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Anon, both articles appear to already contain the versions of this logo that pertain to each article. If there is some compelling reason to need a logo of them combined, I'm not sure I'm seeing it. GMGtalk10:55, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
