Deletion warnings[edit]
Your images have been marked for deletion because you indicated that they had been released under GFDL, when they have not. To claim a file is GFDL, it must either be: your own creation, which you are releasing for the first time under GFDL; or an existing work which has been published elsewhere under GFDL. Images found on websites, unless specifically marked public domain or GFDL, are assumed to be the copyright of their creators and are off limits for wikipedia articles.
Thanks for your movie poster and DVD cover for the Tarkovsky films. These are legal when tagged correctly (as you did), since they are fair use. Keep up the good contributing- Staecker 12:34, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Staecker, I'm relatively new to this. To be honest, the help section of Wikipedia seems a bit like an incoherent mishmash, but I have undoubtedly dedicated too little time to truly understanding this. I usually copy and paste templates from other pages if I write something.
Anyhow, is there a way to put these pictures up legally? How can I use a picture, since they will all be technically in one specific site's ownership. I really want to contribute these images, although I understand why they can't be usedas they are. I also apologize if there is a better way to reply to you, but I am currently ignorant of any such methods. Rainer Werner 18:01, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- No problem, Rainer. Usually people reply right where the message was written. I sent you a note, so I watched for a response. (If you wanted to make sure I saw it, you could put it on my talk page, so I'd get the big "New Messages" note when I log in.)
- Everything on Wikipedia must be free from traditional copyright restrictions. That means that any image that's copyrighted cannot be used, regardless of the image tagging that the uploader adds. Your comment that "they will all be technically in one specific site's ownership" is more or less true. If you want to upload an image, you must create it yourself. That sounds pretty limiting, but Wikipedia contributors come up with some pretty good photographs. So if you want to upload a photo of Roman Polanski, you need to actually meet him or see him in public and photograph him.
- There are exceptions for fair use content, things that are copyrighted, but more or less intended for public consumption and dissemination (book/CD/DVD covers, posters, TV/movie screenshots, official presskit materials, etc). I hope that clarifies things- I'll continue watching here if you've got more questions. Staecker 23:15, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:Decasia dvd.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.
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 00:21, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:My fair lady poster.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:My fair lady poster.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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. Crstsk (talk) 02:47, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Sacrificebritish1.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Sacrificebritish1.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. 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) 10:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Nostalghia.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Nostalghia.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.
