Speedy deletion of File:Blive miami rl 109.JPG

A tag has been placed on File:Blive miami rl 109.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. →Na gy 16:11, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have the licensing correct (I believe) and I have permission to use this image - could you advise as to what I should do to avoid deletion?

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Blive miami rl 234.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Blive miami rl 234.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Copyright images

Please stop uploading copyrighted images to Wikipedia. We take copyright very seriously here, and continued violations may lead to your being blocked from editing. (ESkog)^(Talk) 16:44, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I've tried my best to do everything by the book, posting drafts to my user page first, getting the rights to use the photographs etc. Now my page is not only deleted but my IP is also blocked. Is there someone that can help and give me direction with the copyrights? I have permission to use the photos but am unclear on how to communicate that on here.

License tagging for File:File-Blive07LA 1.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:File-Blive07LA 1.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:06, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

June 2009

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for You have persisted regardless of warnings in uploading copyrighted (all-rights-reserved) images and noted that they are free (creative commons licence). I will delete all of your uploads and strongly suggest you cease doing this. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Peripitus (Talk) 02:49, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Again I apologize for any mix ups. I was convinced the images fit under the creative commons license because I have the rights to use them, but I am unclear on how to classify them if no one else can't (you're right in that they are not free). Any direction or suggestions are more than welcome as I have read the relevant help pages and am still unsure on how to proceed. Maver8 (talk) 14:39, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for talking through this - I've unblocked your account now. Most or all of the images you uploaded were marked by you as freely licenced {{cc-by-sa-3.0}} which can only be used if either you took and own the image or if there is proof that the copyright holder (usually whoever took the image) has licenced it as such. You will see here for an example that the images were not licenced as such. All of the images were either press images (Getty images) or linked to flickr with a note "all rights reserved". For images like this the only way to host them here is if the copyright holder (Rob Loud in this case) sends an email as per Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission#Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries. If you have the rights to use them then confirmation of this right needs to be sent as per the same process. If such a copyright permission is not present then the images will almost always be deleted - Peripitus (Talk) 04:13, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for talking me through this. I have forwarded the information to the photographer and should be expecting that email to go through in the next couple of days. Once he sends that onto Wikipedia what are my next steps? I just repost the pictures using the license he specified? Thanks again - this feedback has been invaluable!

Fair use rationale for File:Blive miami rl 103.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Blive miami rl 103.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 'file' 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 "File" 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.

Orphaned non-free image (File:Blive miami rl 234.JPG)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Blive miami rl 234.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note on the above

Hi Maver8, I had this page on my watchlist and just saw the above notifications and noticed that you have re-uploaded the files I deleted. Please note that all copyright images must meet the ten non-free content criteria else they will be deleted. Where these images have a problem is

They are not used in articles (non-free images can only be used in articles, not in userspace or anywhere else)
They are probably all deemed replaceable with free alternatives. Note that the alternative can be an image that conveys similar encyclopedic information or is simply a piece of text that give the reader sufficient information.
All non-free (copyrighted) images have to be shown as significantly increasing reader's understanding of the topic of the article they are placed in.

- Peripitus (Talk) 08:35, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Peripitus, thanks for checking in. I can address you points and perhaps you can help with next steps for me.

They will be used in the article B-LIVE which is not up yet (other than my userpage) as I am still trying to iron out all the copyright issues. I just want to be sure everything is following the appropriate guidelines before I create the actual article. Should I go ahead and do that now?
Your last 2 points: These are all images of the artists performing at the specific events described in the article - so they are by far the best quality and legal (by the organisers) images of these events.

How do you suggest I proceed from here? Again, thanks for taking the time to talk me through this - the process has been a bit more complicated than I anticipated.

- Maver8 (talk) 15:10, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Peripitus. I see that the images have all been deleted again. I never got a reply from you regarding our conversation on June 10th. Re. my explanation on use and placement of the images, what do I still need to do in order to post them in compliance with Wikipedia requirements? Maver8 (talk) 18:30, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Blive miami rl 064.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Blive miami rl 064.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 22:35, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable copyright images

You've been blocked for uploading these images in the past, and I see you have re-uploaded them. I'm having trouble seeing what's different now. Has something changed that you believe impacts our ability to use these images on Wikipedia? (ESkog)^(Talk) 23:17, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I re-uploaded these images because I thought i might be able to better explain why they are not replaceable. Also, the photographer completed the wikipedia copyright process and sent the necessary email granting permission for their use in this article. I did try to continue a conversation with the previous administrator that marked them for deletion, but they stopped responding. If the photographer has granted permission to use these what else can I do to make sure the correct copyright tags are used? I want to do this correctly but it's hard to follow guidelines when noone will have a discussion with me regarding the matter. Any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated! Maver8 (talk) 15:59, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Permission for use in the Wikipedia article is not enough for them to be used freely- instead, the images must be used completely inline with the non-free content criteria. Why could these images not be replaced by free images taken at the next event? J Milburn (talk) 16:09, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Im simply not finding the tickets when I search OTRS records and the images would be tagged if they were cleared with permission already. Can you supply more details on the permission? if necessary, send a new email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org with the details. Spartaz ^Humbug! 17:55, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted them again on consideration. you need to get the permissions in before you up+load these images again. Spartaz ^Humbug! 07:23, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Earn logo.jpg

The file File:Earn logo.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Logo made by uploader on Photoshop with no foreseeable encyclopedic use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
