Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files

Blatant copyright violations or images missing source or license information may be "speedied"

If an image is unquestionably copied from another website and no assertion of permission or fair use is made, the image may be speedy deleted under criterion G12. Please tag the image with {{subst:db-copyvio|url=source URL}} and warn the user with {{Nothanks-sd}}.

If an image is missing source or license information, place either:

{{subst:nsd}} for no source

or

{{subst:nld}} for no license

on the image description page to put the image in the appropriate category. After being tagged for 7 days, the image will be eligible for speedy deletion per criterion 4 for images.

Please also notify the uploader so they get a chance to fix the problem(s). The templates {{image source|Image:Image name.ext}} and {{image copyright|Image:Image name.ext}} are made for this purpose, but feel free to write a message of your own. It is not necessary to warn the uploader about every individual image if they have uploaded several such images, but at least one message telling them that images without source/license will be deleted should be given to each user.

Shortcut

[[:|WP:PUI]]

This page is for listing and discussing images that are used under a non-free license or have disputed source or licensing information. Images are listed here for 14 days before they are processed.

Instructions

Before listing, check if the image should be listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems (if its source is known and it cannot be used under a free license or fair use doctrine) or at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion (if it's simply unneeded).

To list an image on this page:

Place one of the following tags on the image description page:
- {{PUIdisputed}} — If the source or copyright status is disputed.
- {{PUInonfree}} — If the image is only available under a non-free license.
Contact the uploader by adding a message to their talk page. You can use {{subst:idw-pui|Image:filename.ext}} (replace filename.ext with the name of the image). If the editor hasn't visited in a while, consider using the "E-mail this user" link.
Add "{{unverifiedimage}}" to the image caption on articles the image is on. This is to attract more attention to the deletion debate to see what should be done.
List the image at the bottom of this page, stating the reasons why the image should be deleted.

Listings should be processed by an administrator after being listed for 14 days. Images that are accepted following this fourteen-day period should have {{subst:puir}} added to the image page and a copy of the issue and/or discussion that took place here put on the image talk page.

Note: Images can be unlisted immediately if they are undisputably in the public domain or licensed under an indisputably free license (GFDL, CC-BY-SA, etc.—see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for more on these). Images which claim fair use must have two people agree to this.

Holding cell

These images have been listed for at least 14 days. Images which have been determined to be acceptable may be removed from this page.

- The link you provided does not go to the images rather a 404 page. I was around on the day this image was posted and will attest to it being an original work by Acom. In addition there are a large number of convex hull renderings that have been provided by this user under the GPL to help fill in the gaps of our knowledge with artist impressions of the small solar system bodies. I have for the time being remove the disputed image tag which I will restore momentarily until this matter is settled. Abyssoft 15:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The Image listed is archive in Google's image search. If you look closely you will see the two images are rather different; in the rendering of the convex hull, The lower right forward quadrant of the archived copy is different from the one posted by Acom. Abyssoft 22:31, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but Acom has violated copyrights more than once and we cannot rely simply on your claim. It would help a lot if Acom provided some detail on how he created that image(s). --Eleassar ^{my talk} 12:45, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uploader here. I was hoping by cropping the picture significantly, that it'd pass as a self-work item. As is, if it doesn't, could it be re-categorized for fair use? ~ (The Rebel At) ~ 23:37, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Mohammadreza Shah.jpg- A nice picture but unfortunately does not have copyright permission. --Aminz 22:25, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright permission is not required for a fair use claim, and this one is obviously valid. The website where the image was obtained also does not own the copyright to it no matter what it claims. According to Iranian copyright law, unchanged since 1970 according to Template:PDFlink, the term of protection for photography or for any work where it "belongs to a person of legal position" (such as, say, the Shah) is 30 years from the date of publication. See Part III, Article 16. If this photo was made and published before 1977, which IMO is the most likely, it's PD. It would be better if someone could find out when that was, of course, but although it's a very common portrait no one seems to be saying. TCC (talk) (contribs) 01:15, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively we could write to Her Majesty Farah Pahlavi, from whose website the picture was downloaded, and ask Her for permission to use it on a free license. :)) In 3 years it will be PD anyway. --BotevFixer 09:54, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The following images are all licensed for non-commercial educational use only, but have been "grandfathered" since the speedy deletion criteria for such images only apply for images uploaded after 19 May 2005. This does not mean they are excempt from the license policy though, just that they can't be speedily deleted. Hence listing them here, these are all the images tagged with {{Brazilian Olympic Committee Image}}, a template we need to delete as well once these are done. Each of these images must be re-tagged with an apropriate non-free (aka fair use) tag and supplied with a valid fair use rationale or be deleted (or if someone can convince the Brazilian Olymic Comitee to change theyr license practice that would be good too). --Sherool (talk) 23:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Cisco.Certified.Network.Associate.Logo.png - claims fair use, but I am requesting a second opinion, preferably from an expert, or from a representative of the owner of the image. Although the use of a low-resolution image of a logo or trademark to illustrate a topic on the non-profit Wikipedia website is generally considered to be fair use, the presence of the CCNA logo on Wikipedia arguably does not really contribute to the public understanding of the subject matter. Wikipedia:fair use says that an image "must contribute significantly to the article" in order for it to comply with Wikipedia policy; furthermore, the logo is protected by both copyright law and trademark law. For these reasons it seems the benefit of keeping the image is minimal as compared with the potential that it could possibly infringe the rights of the owner. 69.140.164.142 04:13, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Johnmckenziegoal.jpeg marked as GFDL-self, but appears to be a photograph of a photograph. Ytny (talk) 14:23, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Sarge.GIF is tagged with a free license even though it is clearly a screenshot of a copyrighted TV show. - Super48 19:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image:345931770_l.jpg - this image appears to be a non-free image and not the PD-self it is tagged with User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 22:38, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Gorerage.jpg - No evidence that this is a USGov image at all. Taken from a non-USGov website that does not claim it is a USGov image. --Tom (talk - email) 00:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Zubiri.jpg - Tagged with {{PD-Philippines}}, which discusses old works, but makes no mention of government works. BigDT 05:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Eastern European Hedgehog.jpg seems to be the restult of a sloppy transwiki job. The image may well be free licensed, unfortunately the only source info provided is "Lithuanian version of Wikipedia" but despite my best efforts I can find no such image there. None of the articles that use the image have links to any lithuanian version. Commons have a copy of the image, but it was copied from us, not ltWiki, so long storry short: We have no idea who took this photo or what license they released it under. Unless anyone can track down the original image on ltWiki this should be deleted as unverifiable. --Sherool (talk) 16:53, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Czartoryski Wlodzimierz.jpg - I don't believe that this old, black-and-white image was originally photographed by the uploader. Licence tag has changed since original (deleted) upload too. ❛ʀϵɒv϶ʁƨ❜ 20:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Oklahoma City2.jpg - The image is tagged {{GFDL-no-disclaimers}} but is identical to the photo [6] used to advertise Oklahoma City’s 29 December 2006 "Party Gras." --Kralizec! (talk) 03:51, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:CWMcD1997.jpg and Image:CWMcD+SheepDolly.jpg have been uploaded as GFDL by the copyright holder, but with the proviso that "The image may be used as long as the name and reputation of Capers W. McDonald are treated with respect. The image's inclusion on Wikipedia will not result in financial loss to any copyright holder." This is incompatible with the GFDL licence. --kingboyk 22:24, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:OctopusNAS1.jpg Image taken from [7], i.e. the Thinkquest website. Well, they are a website for student essays, not the source of the picture. Dr Zak 00:54, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is an example of Nazi propaganda, dated around 1938. [8] We don't claim it as a free image, but as an historic poster, so I'm unclear about the point of this entry. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 01:00, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's from the Library of Congress, according to this source, [9] which says "Antisemitic cartoon by Seppla (Josef Plank)--An octopus with a Star of David over its head has its tentacles encompassing a globe. Credit: Library of Congress, courtesy of USHMM Photo Archives. Date: Circa 1938" SlimVirgin ^(talk) 01:04, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, and suddenly it's more credible. Dr Zak 01:06, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps in future, you could take a quick look on Google before tagging images for deletion. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 01:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps even you can properly source and credit images when you upload them. Dr Zak 01:16, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More info from the Library of Congress. [10] SlimVirgin ^(talk) 01:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some aspects of human history would make some people feel uncomfortable. WP has many historic political posters, I don't see any problem with this one. Doesn't seem like a good faith nomination. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 01:13, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Pbpic907668.jpg is tagged as PD-self, however it clearly has a website logo on it. Also uploader claims that because it was on display at an event it is public domain. Personally, I'm not convinced of that statement. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 02:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image:DerSturmer stand.jpg. Picture of a Stürmerkasten. Source given are two websites, none of which tell who the photographer might be or what archive this might have come from. Dr Zak 03:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Humus sapiens questions Dr Zak's attempt to delete a Nazi image above, so now Dr Zak has found a Nazi image uploaded by Humus sapiens' to nominate for deletion. This isn't the first time he's done this. These are probably PD images, but for our purposes are labeled non-free historical images; and we're using them for educational purposes, not simply to illustrate pages for frivolous reasons. If you want to help track down the original source or the author, Dr Zak, please do; the help would be welcome. But please stop the vindictive WP:POINTs. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 04:34, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can we now get back to discussing the image, please?! When you have nothing to say about the issue you have a go at the contributor instead, and others have observed that as well. Dr Zak 04:53, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
