Orphaned non-free image File:IconBuffet Logo.png

Thanks for uploading File:IconBuffet Logo.png. 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).

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

Hi there. This page has been orphaned because I have reverted your change to The Big Move. Please note that the image you replaced was a public domain image. In fact, it was a knock-off I created just using MS Paint. I appreciate your desire to replace it with something with transparent background, but I'd recommend you make you own knock-off and upload it, so that the image is still free, instead of using the actual Metrolinx source. Thanks! --Natural R_X 21:45, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Natural RX: Sorry for mistakenly replacing your image. But I do not believe your copy is really public domain either. I do not think you can just create a copy of a logo and it has no copyright restrictions. Maybe if the logo you created was very different there would be no restrictions, but since your copy was pretty much identical to the original I don't think it was really a free image. Since it is a logo, I don't think there is any free equivalent, we need to use the non free image to truly represent it. Since there is no free equivalent I think it is appropriate to use the svg I extracted from the pdf. However I am not very familiar with Wikipedia rules (in fact I just read them for the first time now.) So please let me know what you think. -- Isaac Waller (talk) 04:21, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Natural RX: I found a maybe relevant snippet on Wikipedia:Logos: "Unlike people, however, where it is often possible to take a free photograph of that person, logos are typically protected by copyright and trademark law and so cannot be replaced by a completely free alternative" ... "The second case is a logo that is simply a sequence of letters or written words: Characters from a typeface are uncopyrightable in the U.S., so logos that consist purely of characters from a typeface are also uncopyrightable. You may use

This image or logo only consists of typefaces, individual words, slogans, or simple geometric shapes. These are not eligible for copyright alone because they are not original enough, and thus the logo is considered to be in the public domain. See Wikipedia:Public domain § Fonts or Wikipedia:Restricted materials for more information.
Please note: The public domain status of this work is only in regards to its copyright status. There may be other intellectual property restrictions protecting this image, such as trademarks or design patents if it is a logo.

@Isaacwaller: I would agree with the above. I'll change the licence accordingly and revert my revert. Good catch! --R_X 14:26, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Alexis Sanschagrin.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Alexis Sanschagrin.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA 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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file 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}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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 created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 11:37, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
