• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

I have uploaded images on article Volvo Super Olympian and West Rail (KCRC), but all of them are deleted because of copyright violations. However, you have uploaded other photos to compensate for the copyright problems of the old photos. Thank you for uploading these photos. cheung1303

Neoplan Centroliner

I have previous posted the article with this name but it was deleted and listed on WP:CP. You've recently posted a new article and added photos to it. Thank you for posting the article for me. cheung1303

Cheung you are fooling nobody. Do you think we are stupid? Don't use sockpuppets like this, don't upload copyrighted images and don't lie about who owns those images. I am deleting all images by jefferry and any other sock puppets you create. Theresa Knott (Tart, knees hot) 09:12, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

To Theresa

I had read your comments on my user talk, and i would like to declare that ALL images i upload here was TAKEN BY MYSELF. I hold the copyright of all images below. I have the ORIGINAL digital copy of all those photos (which is large in file size and resolution), it would be my pleasure to show them to you. It is not my intention to offend you, but i find that it is quite offensive for me to receive such a blame.

This is my list of images uploaded here:

• Arriva_NWalesTrain.JPG
• KMB_APM1_int.JPG
• KMB_APM1_ext.JPG
• KMB_AP.JPG
• KMB_Trident.JPG
• KCRWR_tinterior.JPG
• KCRER_KLT.JPG
• KMB 3ASV intr.JPG
• KMB 3ASV44 68X.JPG
• Kcrc wr tm.JPG

Jefferry: are you the original author of the pictures on Gakei? If so, can you ask Gakei to put up a notice stating that the author of these pictures have also authorized them for Wikipedia? Or how about putting a notice into the pictures that you took and sending them to Gakei again? Since you've contribute those pictures to Gakei before, I'm sure they will understand.

After all, Gakei is pretty strict about copyrights and I'm sure Gakei doesn't want their visitors to see the pictures on Wikipedia and get confused over who owns the copyrights. So you're doing Gakei a favour too. :)

Or how about this? We'll email Gakei and tell them that the author of their pictures has authorized them to be put on Wikipedia. This way they won't get confused or angry if they see their pictures on Wikipedia. -- [[User:Ran|ran (talk)]] 19:54, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)

Since nobody has found any of your pictures on Gakei, the above comments don't apply.... I'm sorry if I was sounding suspicious, but we've been having some trouble with copyrighted pictures. Once again, I apologize. -- [[User:Ran|ran (talk)]] 03:33, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

Jefferry I apologize for accusing you of being a sockpuppet account of cheung. I should have followed policy and assumed good faith. If you could upload one of the full resolution images that correspond with one of the images above say KMB_APM1_int.JPG for example that would go a long way to putting my mind at rest. Thanks and sorry again for the accusation. Theresa Knott (Tart, knees hot) 19:59, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hello, Jefferry, welcome to Wikipedia. I am sorry that you are dragged into the current dispute of the Wikipedia community against User:Cheung1303 (talk). See Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Cheung1303 and you will understand what is going on. Things like this do happen, and the key to resolution is communication. So far I have a difficult time communicating with Cheung1303. It may be easier for you to convince him/her that copying images from other websites does not work. I am also from Hong Kong, but am now living in Los Angeles. -- Felix Wan (talk) 00:58, 2004 Nov 23 (UTC)

Never mind! I'm just trying to make sure my images here are legal enough. ;-)

And by the way, how could i deal with the "This image may not have information on its source. It may be usable under fair use but this has yet to be verified....." messages on my images ?

Thanks so much for answering! Jefferry

Just edit the page and replace the word unverified with PD or GFDL or CC whichever licence you want to release the images under. Theresa Knott (Tart, knees hot) 21:37, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for all! --Jefferry 09:54, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

"Noncommercial use" image licenses

Hi Jefferry. I noticed that you tagged Image:Arriva NWalesTrain.JPG with {{noncommercial}}. As explained by Wikipedia:Image copyright tags, non-commercial-use only images are not usable by Wikipedia.

Can you please consider putting this image under another license? e.g. public-domain like your other images ({{PD-self}}). Alternatively, the GFDL ({{GFDL}}) will effectively prevent many commercial uses, e.g. in magazines, because of its restrictions that derived works be GFDL as well, etc. Another accepted license that has similar provisions is the Creative-commons Sharealike license ({{cc-by-sa-2.0}}).

Thanks for your contributions; sorry about the Cheung1303 mixup.

—Steven G. Johnson 00:55, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for changing it to {{PD-self}}. —Steven G. Johnson 09:12, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for advice! Jefferry

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Air Canada - across.png)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Air Canada - across.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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 "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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 19:49, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Armavia.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Armavia.gif. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Image source problem with Image:Airatlanta-iceland logo.gif

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Airatlanta-iceland logo.gif. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:55, 7 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

EgyptAir Logo

Mind putting a fair use rationale on the Egypt Air logo you uploaded? See the Continental Airlines Logo for a template. I am working on improving EA to a good article and this will be one thing that is brought up. spryde | talk 20:23, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Iceland express logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Iceland express logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently 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. 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 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 "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.

Replaceable fair use Image:Copenhagen Kastrup T1.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Copenhagen Kastrup T1.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:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. 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. Rossrs (talk) 09:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Oslo_FBU_Airport.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Oslo_FBU_Airport.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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 14:44, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:KMB 3ASV intr.JPG

A tag has been placed on Image:KMB 3ASV intr.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

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 [[ Talk:Image:KMB 3ASV intr.JPG|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 02:32, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Image:LKK_Oyster_Sauce.jpg

I have tagged Image:LKK_Oyster_Sauce.jpg as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

Image copyright problem with Image:Egyptair logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Egyptair logo.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. 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 description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
