[edit] Image:Grandma%27s_hat_m.jpg listed for deletion

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Grandma's_hat_m.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. -- zzuuzz(talk) 01:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

also:

  • Image:Three wolves m.jpg is under the same licence, and
  • the copyright tag on Image:Rufus m.jpg contradicts the copyright notice on the artist's web page.

Because these images do not have a compatible licence, they will be deleted from Wikipedia. Please note that any images uploaded need to be licensed by the copyright owner, for use by anyone, and for any purpose. Thanks. -- zzuuzz(talk) 01:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page deletions

How do we get the text of pages that have been deleted, and how do we find out why? I spent a lot of time on my page on artist Diana G. Lee, there was nothing inappropriate with the page.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Monicapl (talk • contribs) 16:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC).

That page was deleted as a copyright violation. We do not allow direct copies from other web sites and it appeared that Diana G. Lee was a copy of http://www.dianalee.com/DianaLeeArtist.php without any indication of permission. I've re-checked just now and verified that the text is a nearly-exact copy of that page. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the quick response! What is the proper way to indicate that I had permission to use the information from the artists site? I am sorry, I am fairly new to posting information on Wikipedia.
One course of action is to send an e-mail to Wikimedia from an e-mail address owned by your web site giving permission. Another course is to have the source information tagged with a free license such as GFDL. —Wknight94 (talk) 00:41, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
