Stop uploading unlicensed images

Please stop. All your edits will be reverted. Images must have source and licence information.

And please do not edit appearances and goals for players unless they are league only. Thank you. Budgiekiller 11:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whateva all this "unlicensed images" hassle is crap.Nobody cares and most of mine are a masterpiece of websearching.Piss off — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arsenal666 (talk • contribs)

Actually, it isn't 'crap', it's policy. I would advise you to familiarise yourself with the copyright policies of Wikipedia. There are plenty of links here now for you to choose from. Remember, every image you upload without such information will be deleted within seven days, and every edit you make to include such images will be reverted. Cheers!

Image copyright problem with Image:Julio cesar.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Julio cesar.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Budgiekiller 11:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have been warned

Okay, since you studiously ignore these warnings, the next time you make an edit in a similar way, it will be considered vandalism, and eventually your account will be blocked. Cheers! Budgiekiller 15:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm talking about changing the appearances for Thierry Henry from league-only (which is required) to all appearances. Does that help clarify the situation? Budgiekiller 15:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHICH edit?You have to admit my pictures are good.ANYWAY, WHO'S GOING TO KNOW IF YOU USE A FEW PICTURES LIKE MINE?WHY WOULD THEY CARE?

Edit

Oh right.So you want to list his appearances & goals FOR ARSENAL as those in the premier league?IT SHOULD BE ALL FIRST-CLASS APPEARANCES.YOU CAN'T CALL THAT VANDALISM

No, it is vandalism if you persist in making edits contrary to warnings - look at the bottom of the infobox you're editing - it says "Professional club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only " - DOMESTIC LEAGUE ONLY being the pertinent phrase. Okay? Cheers! Budgiekiller 16:05, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK

Fine, but that's pretty close to discrediting him.

Glad you agree. Cheers! Budgiekiller 16:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: That photo of the milky way

> You can't expect to believe you photographed THAT

If you're implying I didn't take that photograph, you're wrong. The information on the image page is accurate. -- Moondigger 17:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

If you say so

Try being a bit more courteous to fellow editors! Cheers! Budgiekiller 08:20, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right

Hey wait a minute.How do YOU know? STOP FOLLOWING ME!

I assure you, I'm not following you, I am just monitoring your edits. Budgiekiller 13:38, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WHY are you monitoring my edits?

Because you've uploaded several images without source/licence information against advice, and made changes to articles to use said images against advice and changed Henry's stats twice against advice. This could be considered vandalism. I'm just checking no more pages become problematic. Budgiekiller 13:51, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK

When you put an image on an article, how do you fram it and put text explaining what it is?

"Open content"

Please stop labeling your uploaded photos as "open content", when they simply do not qualify for that license. Thanks. --Madchester 15:34, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing.

Please do not remove maintenance notices from pages unless the required changes have been made. If you are uncertain whether the page requires further work, or if you disagree with the notice, please discuss these issues on the page's talk page before removing the notice from the page. These notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of a page. Thank you. --Madchester 16:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What ARE you talking about?

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

--Madchester 16:30, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Arsenal666 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I only remove Licensing Tags when I have given information about the author, source, licensing and copyright tag. I don't see why it should remain after I've given my information since I think it means that even if I provide that information it may still delete my photos, which I think are rather good.I hope you agree.

Decline reason:

The copyright tags you added show you have no clue how copyright works or what free content means, it doesn't matter that the images are good looking you can't claim that they are free content unless you can prove that the photographer have explicitly released them under such a license, simply pasting "open source" on everyting you upload does not qualify as providing copyright info. Please take this oppotunity to read and understand Wikipedia:Copyrights, Wikipedia:Image use policy and Wikipedia:Fair use and be more carefull with uploads after you block have expired. -- Sherool (talk) 16:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

If I can't edit photo pages, how can I give you the copyright tag?Be reasonable

You where "only" blocked for 31 hours, you have 7 days to fix those images. Should be plenty of time once the block expire. Read the various copyright and policy pages in the meantime to make sure you can provide the correct info. Simply claiming that they are "open source" again with no proof (link to a statement by the copyright holder, copy of an email where they say the images are released as free license etc) won't do much good. --Sherool (talk) 11:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get it then. I still can't edit pages. This block is going on for more than 31 hours

Not quite, you where blocked at 16:31, October 28 2006 (UTC), so the block will not expire untill 23:31, 29 October 2006 (UTC), wich is still a few hours away. --Sherool (talk) 16:35, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also you are not allowed to have (possibly) unfree images on your personal user page. See Wikipedia:User page for details. --Madchester 15:53, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What DO you mean by "unfree"? You don't want your precious articles' credibility damaged by my pictures? Fine, but what's wrong with me using them on my page?

Anyway, "Madchester", it was all right after I finished with the licensing, author and source information problem and that hassle with "Budgiekiler", so why do YOU have to start something now?

Unfree (aka fair use images) would be anyting that is not free content, or in other words anyting where the copyright holder have not explicitly stated that anyone is free to use the work in any way. Since I can find no such release for the images you have uploaded they do indeed seem to be unfree (aka fully copyrighted, "all rights reserved" and all that (nope the absense of a © sign changes nothing, per law the default is full copyright protection unless otherwise spesified)), and since Wikipedia is a project to create a free content ensyclopedia, we do not allow unfree images to be used unless there is literaly no other alternative and then only in actual articles (not as decoration on userpages). --Sherool (talk) 22:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What if, when I upload an image, I include the source and someone more experienced and better at at websearching gets the copyright? It IS written no some of the boxes that a more experienced user should try and modify it.

I wasn't causing you trouble, I was warning you that something like this would happen... If I were you, I'd listen to the advice these other users have offered. You must source and licence your images, and simply declaring an image you've ripped from a website as open source is incorrect. Cheers! Budgiekiller 18:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thierry Henry

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

If you had followed Wikipedia's fair use policy for images, then the article could have had a photo. Don't blame administrators, when you never looked up these policies, despite help from other editors. --Madchester 16:48, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Dreamendless.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dreamendless.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Fair use rationale for Image:Evalongoriaswim.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Evalongoriaswim.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. S ^up? 19:36, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh great comment! "It sucked". What, you do poetry in your spare time? Who's the guy who deleted it and on what grounds?--Arsenal666 19:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Look in the edit history of the page in question. And I'm guessing that the reason has to do with the fact that it's not a current picture of Madara as per Somguy's comment in the topic that you called me an asshole! Halstrom 19:07, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Sorry about that, I was kinda mad coz this is one of the many pictures that I've uploaded that someone has removed. Howeever, this was from the most recent chapter, chapter 370, and is definitely the clearest picture of Madara uchiha to date.--Arsenal666 19:09, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Land of Fire

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the Land of Fire page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.

Dervivative work or not, I made it. You'd rather I changed the license to non-free? Anyway, if you've got a problem with the image then say it instead of just removing every time I put it on.--Arsenal666 17:00, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just because you made it doesn't make it GDFL. you obviously have trouble understanding this, as your numerous image complaints indicate. You cannot use fanart, period. It doesn't qualify under fair use any more than it does under GDFL. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 18:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fan Art

Fan art is a derivative work of the original character, the design of which is copyrighted. So if you draw a picture of Batman, it has two copyrights: yours, for drawing it, and DC Comics (or whoever owns Batman) for designing the original character. You can release your copyright in your fan art with GFDL, but the image is still non-free because of the original creator's copyright. Hope that makes sense to you. -- But|seriously|folks 18:07, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It does make sense, but what can I do about it? Specifically, which license should I use?--Arsenal666 20:44, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can use the GFDL for your copyright, just make sure that's clear. For the creator's copyright, I would use the {{Non-free character}} tag. You'll also need a use rationale. Good luck! -- But|seriously|folks 22:20, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll try and do that.--Arsenal666 09:21, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

+==Orphaned non-free media (Image:Snake Naruto.jpg)==
+[[Image:Nuvola apps important blue.svg|25px]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Snake Naruto.jpg]]'''. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, it is currently [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]], meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).
+If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 all non-free media not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Orphaned --> [[User:BetacommandBot|BetacommandBot]] 14:42, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
