Multiple speedy deletion nominations

[edit]

A tag has been placed on multiple images requesting that they be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the files appear to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think these pages should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page(s) and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The above notice applies to the following images:

  1. File:2007 Wheeling Central Fourth Straight A State Football Title.jpg
  2. File:2003 Parkersburg South High School, WVSSAC Football Champions.jpg
  3. File:Randy Moss at DuPont High School. WV State Football Champion 1993.jpg
  4. File:Martinsburg High School Football Coach Dave Walker 2013.jpg

Please be aware that all material you find somewhere else on the web is likely to be copyrighted. Please stop uploading copyright violations. Continual violations will result in the revocation of your editing privileges. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me and I will be happy to assist you. --Majora (talk) 20:30, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Help me!

Please help me with... How can I be sure a picture I am downloading is public domain? SGT1998 (talk) 21:57, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It should explicitly say so on the website that is hosting the image. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 22:42, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In general, it's complicated. If you know that the picture was first published in the US before 1923, it's in the public domain. If it was first published in the US after 1923, it may be in the public domain, but the details depend on the exact date of publication and on whether a copyright note was filed and/or renewed (the Wikimedia Commons has a detailed overview. Other countries have other rules for expiration of copyright, often "death of the author plus 70 years", with different rules for corporate copyright. Some images get released into the public domain before then by the creator; for example, works of the US federal government are in the public domain. If you're downloading images from Wikipedia, things are comparatively simple: The file page (for example, File:Battle of Lepanto 1571.jpg) should come with a copyright tag that explains whether the image is in the public domain or not. Of course it's your responsibility to make sure that the applied tag indeed is appropriate; unfortunately sometimes people claim "public domain" when the image isn't. The tags are detailed enough to allow a reasonably thorough confirmation, though. If you're still unsure about a specific image, you can try contacting the uploader and ask them to explain why they think the image is in the public domain.

File permission problem with File:LCHS Minuteman.png

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:LCHS Minuteman.png, which you've attributed to http://lchs1978.org/. 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 in section F11 of the 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. Mifter (talk) 02:11, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:
This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
This draft reads like a brochure for the conference. It appears to have no independent references. Fix reference errors.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
