Wikipedia talk:Upload/Uploadtext/en-nonfree-logo

Note. This is the talk page for the transcluded introductory instruction text for 5 upload forms. The 5 upload forms are linked from Wikipedia:Upload. The 5 links are in this sentence there: "It is the logo of an organization, brand, product, public facility, or other item."

Thank you for making this page! Unfortunately, I just realized that I forgot to include the additional documentation from Template:Logo fur/doc. Please replace this page with

<big>This page is for uploading logos that are not [[free content]], under rationales that their use in specific Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.  To upload a file from a different source, please return to the '''[[Wikipedia:Upload|upload wizard]]'''</big>.

| align="left" | '''The goal of all Wikimedia Foundation projects, including Wikipedia, is to contain [[free content]].'''  Works that are not free content may only be uploaded to Wikipedia if they are covered by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|Wikipedia's Exemption Doctrine Policy]], which specifies ''limited conditions'' under which non-free content can be used.

You should not upload a non-free image if there is a reasonable expectation that a free image does or ever could exist.  Please instead find a free image, persuade the owner of the copyright on the non-free image to licence it under a free copyright licence, or even create an image that is entirely your own work and licence it as free content.

Covers, illustrations, posters, movies, stamp and currency designs, web site screenshots, game screens, music videos, and so forth, even promotional pictures and advertisements, are copyrighted, with exclusive rights to use them, to copy them, and to make works derived from them reserved to the copyright holder.  (There are additional restrictions with respect to stamps and currencies.)  Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others — ''do not upload images that violate others' copyrights''.

|-
| width="50%" valign="top" style="background:#fcf5f1;"|
In general, non-free content uploaded under the Exemption Doctrine should be used only when the ''specific image itself'' is significant to the article, not merely what it depicts.  The image must be not replaceable by a free content alternative that depicts the same thing.  

In other words, a screenshot from a movie is acceptable to use when talking about the movie itself — it is not acceptable to use it to talk about the actress who happens to be in the picture.  (It is possible for a free content picture of the actress to be taken.)

'''If you are still in doubt, ask at [[Wikipedia talk:Copyrights/Can I use...]] before uploading the image!'''

See [[Wikipedia:Copyrights]], [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]], and [[Wikipedia:Image use policy]] for a full explanation of the Wikipedia licensing policy.

|-

Write a clear description for the image you are uploading in the "edit summary" box.  This ''must'' contain:
*'''Article:''' the name of the article in which this image is to be used
*'''Source:''' the exact source of the image, such as the URL giving the location on the World Wide Web from where you downloaded it

The other available fields are listed below. Please note that the '''Purpose''' field is required if "other item" was selected.
*''Used for'' - What is the name of the thing the logo identifies, if different than the article name
*''Owner'' - Who owns the logo, if different than article name.  Full legal name is best.
*''Website'' - If taken from the web, where?
*''Commentary'' - Discuss any commentary in the article about the logo itself
*''History'' - If logo is discontinued or modified, when and how was it used historically
----
*''Description'' - Additional information about the logo
*''Source'' - If not from the website, specifically where and how did you get the image?
*''Portion'' - If you did not use the whole logo, what part did you use and why?
*''Low_resolution'' - If the image is unusually large or small, why?
*''Purpose'' - Explain how you are using the image and why.
*''Replaceability'' - Explain why the image can't be replaced with free use, if the default explanations aren't accurate
*''Other_information'' - Any other information you think helps the image's fair use case

'''If you do not provide a detailed rationale for the fair use of non-free images, they will be deleted.'''

Missing field description

Under Step 3 is the list of fields and descriptions for the purpose of each. Missing among these descriptions (within several of the upload templates in fact and not just this one) is the Use field. I find this strange since it is one of the only two "Required" fields. The purpose of this field may seem obvious to regulars, but below it is the used for field which makes it appear like a redundant field rather than the two fields having completely different purposes. Also, the Purpose field should be re-organized to the "Required" area at the top. — CobraWiki ^{( jabber | stuff )} 06:02, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I got that field wrong, so I documented it based on Template:Logo fur —Darxus (talk) 00:17, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Upload errors

A couple of times recently I have used the upload form to upload logos of organizations, the most recent being File:DAASLogo.png. I selected the logo link from the page, filled in the details and selected "Logo" from the license drop down list. When the upload has completed, I see that the image has in fact been uploaded twice (or at least two uploads appear in the file history) but, more importantly, the license information is missing and I had to add it manually. Any idea what's up with that? Browser: Firefox 3.6. Thanks – ukexpat (talk) 16:20, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
