[edit] Adam Morris (The General E)

Hi. Could you explain why the page relating to Adam Morris (The General E) has been deleted. As far as I can tell, the criteria was related to a being a musician, and he is not, instead being a DJ on a radio station in London. Cheers. Adamiow 18:00, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. It's not just notability. The article wasn't encyclopedic. It read like a piece from a directory or a fan site. If you started again on a temporary page in your userspace and made it read like an encyclopedia article, with references, you may well be able to persuade people that we should have an article on him. --kingboyk 18:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC) (some of the links in the message above may help)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:AdamMorris.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AdamMorris.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-no-disclaimers}} 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 19:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. wangi 19:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

You have tagged the above named image. I am unsure how to tag it. I have obtained the image from the subject, with their permission and it is their picture. What tag do I use? Thanks. Adamiow 21:54, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
It all depends really. Was the release with the understanding the photo would be used on Wikipedia only and for no commercial use. Or was it a complete release (to a free licence), allowing other site to use the image as well? Such a low-resolution photo has limited use, can you get a higher-res version? Thanks/wangi 22:01, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
It was just for Wikipedia use. Unfortunately, no other version is available. Any ideas? Cheers. Adamiow 22:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Unfortunately we cannot accept images that are for "Wikipedia only". We need to get an image under a free licence (see WP:IUP). In the past editors would have agrued "fair use" of a non-free image, but that's no longer the case (since there's no reason why anyone with a camera cannot take a free-licence photo). Thanks/wangi 22:52, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I have just remembered that the that the image has been used elsewhere, other than just for Wikipedia, still not for commercial use. Sorry, I didn't have enough time to think about it last night. What tag should I use? Cheers. Adamiow 12:34, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but that doesn't make a difference - Wikipedia needs the "for commercial use" permission so we are free to use the image in derivatives. Surely, someone has a free image they have taken? Thanks/wangi 21:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm very confused with all of this. My apologies, as I have struggled to understand this before. I have been given permission to use this photo in any way I wished. I have used this photo on here, as well as it being used on a website in reference to the person. As this gains money through ads, would this count as a commercial activity? If it does, then what tag shall I use? If not, I have another photo, which has been used as a publicity photo on a website for a radio station, which could be used, but I think this photo is more suited. Thanks. Adamiow 22:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Afraid I don't have the time just now to explain it fully, packing for a business trip to the States... I recommend you summarise this discussion (or just post a pointer to it) at Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance) and hopefully someone will help you out. Thanks/wangi 22:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Core digital.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Core digital.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:21, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
