[edit] Image:Mos Def.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Mos Def.jpg. I noticed that this image came from Mosdefinitely.com and is tagged as being licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. The justification for this is given as "I was speaking to the guy who runs the Mos Def site and he said I could use any image of the site on wikipedia".

I just want to confirm that this image really is licensed under the GFDL. Mosdefinitely.com does not seem to be the official site of Mos Def; the official site appears to be Mosdefmusic.com. This makes me wonder whether the person who runs Mosdefinitely.com holds the copyright to this image; if he does not, then he cannot be the one to give permission to use it under the terms of the GFDL. Moreover, permission to use the image on Wikipedia is not sufficient. Licensing an image under the GFDL means that anyone can use or modify the image, and can use it for commercial as well as noncommercial purposes. We need to make sure that the holder of the copyright of this image is OK with people modifying the picture however they like, and possibly making money off it.

If you have more information about the licensing status of this image, please add it to the image description page. If you have any questions, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 10:04, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Currency Image:500 Dram note.JPG

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:500_Dram_note.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:500_Dram_note.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 11:34, 23 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK (talk) 11:34, 23 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Bilderberg participants.jpg

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) 04:14, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bilderberg bad aachen 1980.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images.
