Wikipedia is not a place to promote your blog. Adding the same or similar external links to multiple articles is considered "spamming" around here, and is not appreciated. Please refrain from doing this. Thanks. AKRadeckiSpeaketh 16:35, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Image permission problem with Image:Shinshin.jpg

[edit]
Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Shinshin.jpg, which you've sourced to http://www.defenceaviation.com/2008/01/mitsubishi-atd-x-shinshin-japanese.html. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

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, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rlandmann (talk) 13:11, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to Help

I just wanted to do what I could to make sure more encyclopedic content didn't get deleted due to the ongoing copyright hysteria. Thanks for contributing the project! MalikCarr (talk) 04:17, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shin Shin image

[edit]

Thanks for your reply. Whether or not you own the website is not relevant here, only the question of whether you actually took the photo yourself. If you didn't, you aren't able to licence Wikipedia (or anyone else, including yourself!) to use it. --Rlandmann (talk) 08:00, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did a little digging and discovered that the original source of the image was a screengrab from a Fuji News Network story; the image that you uploaded to Wikipedia had been exactly cropped to remove the station logo. The image seems originally to have made its way onto the internet by way of this blog post around six months before the cropped version showed up on your blog. Most of the other images on your blog have been taken from the same source. The original blogger also provided a link to a video of the FNN story hosted on YouTube, which has since been removed since FNN made a complaint about the violation of their copyright.
Furthermore, the image that you uploaded to Wikipedia was a low-resolution image in a non-standard ratio and completely missing its EXIF data. All of this points to an image downloaded from some website and re-uploaded here.
Under the circumstances, the evidence that this is a copyvio is overwhelming and I have therefore deleted the image. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and repeated copyright violations may lead to you being blocked from editing. --Rlandmann (talk) 15:10, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 12:09, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
