Ogg file tagging

Regarding your tagging of several OGG files on May 11: Of the three that I randomly checked, the uploader did actually type in a rationale. For example, on Image:Blancmange - Living On the Ceiling excerpt.ogg, the uploader entered, "This audio sample is used for illustrative purposes within the linked article(s) and is of a reduced length and quality from the originally-published recording. Where known, the source and copyright owner are credited."

That might not be a great rationale, but it is a rationale, and thus your tag that it has no rationale is improper. I'm assuming all of the OGG files in Category:Images with no fair use rationale as of 11 May 2007 are yours; as such, could you please revisit all of them and remove your tag from the ones that actually contain rationales?

Thanks! --Spike Wilbury 05:01, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I really appreciate the effort, awesome work. --Spike Wilbury 15:32, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Retail Box Artwork

Could you please remove your fair use tags from the artwork boxes for LSW2 and The Movies. A description stating they where uploaded with consent of the original publishers. Add the fact that they are displayed and used on websites without issue as they are an image of what the product looks like I cannot see why the fair use is any why being breached. Finally it is with the Mac publishers express permission.

Fixed and sorted thanks! Edwin

Penny for your thoughts

How would you like to have a shot at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship? I've seen your contributions around the place - especially when clearing image backlogs - and I've been impressed. It would be an honour to write up an RfA nomination for you. Thoughts? Moreschi ^Talk 10:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, come on. You've got 14000 edits, that's way more than me, and this guy didn't have a clue what the hell a wheel war was months after he was sysopped. You need more experience like a hole in the head.

But if you won't be persuaded now, please let me know when you feel you're ready. It will be a privilege to nominate you. In the meantime, I'll go and clear those fair use no-rationale backlogs you have a habit of creating :) Cheers, Moreschi ^Talk 20:23, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Proposal

WikiProject Domesday

Description

Me and ShakespeareFan00 have been looking at the BBC Domesday Project and have found that it could be quite useful of improving geographical stubs. ShakespeareFan has already been able to expand a one line stub, Maughold (parish) (which he knew nothing about), into a bigger article using just the Domesday project. This is potentially a very valuable source to geography articles on Wikipedia and the WikiProject would aim to get people dedicated to using the source and expanding Geo-Stubs using the data provided. — Taggard (Complain) 22:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments

thanks for pointing out

the copyright issue with Image:Noguchi-Detroit1.jpg. i took the picture and I posted it there in the summary, that much is mentioned on the picture and I also did the copyright release tht produces the water buffalo head. A user created GFDL image I think is what it is called that is in the licencing section. I have perhaps 500 (this is not a math question) other such images and and if they all get removed then it must be my destiny. Carptrash 14:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for getting back to me with such dispatch. I am not sure what the issue that you refer to is, nor am I interested in finding out. I've posted a bunch of images on wikipedia, mostly mine, but those that I didn't take were from pre-1923 publications and I always wrote up a rationale for them. For my pictures I picked the copyright tag that seemed the best at the time, though they have, I seem to remember, changed over time. I think that I have perhaps two dozen in the United States section of this article alone, [[1]]. But I am no longer interested in expending any effort in maintaining any of them. These were a gift to wikipedia, licensed as best I could, and, as with all gifts, they can be turned down. Carptrash 14:25, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for telling me about the lack of fair use rationale on Image:Stanstatue.JPG, I'd completely forgot about the image and didn't realise I hadn't added a fair use rationale. Dave101→talk  14:53, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use question

I updated the fair use description at Image:DarkSunRevisedCampaignCover.jpg, but I'm honestly not sure if it's really an improvement, because it's not different than what was already there. Is there supposed to be something more? It might help if you provided examples of sufficient rationales with your boilerplate message, as I'm not really sure what's necessary there and the fair use guidelines aren't that helpful. FrozenPurpleCube 19:21, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I6

As you can see at CAT:CSD, it's been requested that I6 deletions be suspended until 1 July while rationales are provided after Betacommand's big bot run. At the moment, there's not so much urgency with this problem. Cheers, Moreschi ^Talk 11:32, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I get the images from other wikipedia pages and do not scan them myself. If you look you can see where they come from. I am also not interested in helping global anti-counterfeiting efforts, thats what my taxes are for. But thankyou anyway for the information. Enlil Ninlil 03:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:2pula.png

Thanks for your two messages. This currency note was demonetised in 2006. Prior to this it had a value of around $1 U.S. Furthermore, the image is purposely a low resolution one from which it would be very difficult to make convincing copies. All in all, I think the world economy can continue to sleep safely. Let me know if you disagree. --John 15:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Film tagging

Done already. We should really come up with a standard rationale that automatically adds a rationale for film posters. It would save a lot of trouble for everyone. Regards ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 18:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

No rationale

I'm confused by some of your recent edits. Why did you tag Image:Disneyland Hotel (California) logo.png as not having a fair use rationale? And why did you leave warnings on a bot's talk page instead of on the original uploader's talk page? —Remember the dot ^(talk) 19:22, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

(replying to message on my talk page) — OK, that's fine. But in the future, instead of demanding that other users write rationales, why not just write them yourself? —Remember the dot ^(talk) 21:29, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I strongly agree. While I admire your industriousness, it seems that instead of tagging all of these images for deletion, you efforts would be more productive if you simply added the fair use rationales yourself. It's really not that difficult - please my recent contribution history for some examples. Thanks, Satori Son 19:38, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

No rationale again

Hello! You tagged Image:Pti.gif as not having a fair use rationale. As I understand it, this image has a fair use rationale listed under the licensing. The rationale is listed in the Template:Tv-program-logo which includes:

It is believed that the exhibition of low-resolution images of logos
    * to illustrate the television program in question
    * on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,
qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.

Is this not considered a valid rationale? - Ektar 21:52, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect tag

You have incorrectly tagged Image:RadioDisney1260logo.png. Your tag indicates that the image was uploaded after 4 May 2006, it was, in fact uploaded on 17 April 2006. I don't know if this makes any difference, but it has been incorrectly tagged for deletion. Either an explanation is required, or the image should not be deleted.Hillrhpc 00:37, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Rationale templating

I've done them both but I don't know if your going through my backlog or what but you are going to find an awful amount of images from my film articles. Please do me a favor and help me be adding the standard rationale - the time it takes to notify one image could be sorted and you could be on to the next. Maybe it should have been done when I uploaded but it would help if you could do this. Thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 21:28, 22 June 2007 (UTC).

Seriously we must come up with a way that the license tag automatically provides a full detailed rationale. If this could be done automatically every time an image is uploaded it would save time and effort of all involved. What do you think about this idea?. -this way we would have a standard rationale system for film posters and saving a lot of effort chasing them up. The only thing would be to regulate the number of images uploaded. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 21:31, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm certain it can be done with a natural template. I don;t like to see too many fair use images per article but I also absolutely agree with you that if we are using the images we have an obligation to professionally state the legal usage. However for the main posters and selected screenshots which significantly contribute to the article - If you like I can create a template for film posters which you can insert into film posters you come across. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 21:37, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I have created one which can be used on all film related media.

I hope this helps. Template:Filmrationale . Please add: Filmrationale with the {{ }} . All it needs then is to enter the title of the page into it. It would be great if you could notify others who are sorting out the images - it can be done much quicker this way and save a lot of time. Regards ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 21:45, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes it needs some moderation - it would incorporate the source details etc and also leave blank a place to write the name of the article it should be used in without affecting the template. Repetitive editing need not have to be done by either of us if it is automated. Keep up the good work with the tagging though. Regards ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 22:26, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes - it should be standardized and generalized. Really a bot could and should add the rationale tag itself -saving time and effort again. I'd like to see some kind of standard rationale for all of the fair use images. -there are far too many inconsistencies on wikipedia - if wikipedia is to become as professional as possible rationales should really be automated on uploading rather than leaving a huge task for editors tagging and images which don't give adequate usage criteria -I am guilty of this clearly but I am very busy on building articles!!! This should be proposed at the council or image council if there is one -it is definately an important topic ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 22:40, 22 June 2007 (UTC).

Beatles samples

Thanks for your diligence in policing the proper documentation of this non-free content; all of these samples are very short, very low quality (I think I resampled them to 22k mono, high compression), and otherwise fall fully within the rationale supplied by the "non-free audio sample" template used. --LDC

Please check back later to make sure that User:Lee Daniel Crocker hasn't removed the missing rationale tags again without providing the rationales. — Moe ε 23:49, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I have tagged Image:Imogen_Heap-Speak_For_Yourself-Hide_and_Seek.ogg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 13:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair Use Dispute?

Shakespearefan, if you had bothered to look at the images in question, youi would see that they are covered under the historic photo rationale. Seriously, I do not know why you bother removing images from pages when you don't even view the pages. Do you get brownie points or something? Seriously, get a life mate. --ansbachdragoner 03:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

You may have a different interpretation than I, but I believe the images are fair use according to:

The Pictures I uploaded, better said

ShakespeareFan00, I thought about what I recently said to you, and an administrator named J Milburn also spoke to me about this. I know what I said was wrong, and I will admit that at the time I wasn't in a very happy mood (it's something personal, at home). It was just that my images (and by that I mean to say "the images I uploaded) had been on Wikipedia for so long I thought you were just taking the Mickey out of me, but J Milburn explained the situation to me, and I would now like to apologize for my pointlessly rude behaviour.

Send me a message accepting my apology, alright?

P. S: Tell me more about this "fair rationale" so I can maybe fix the images and stop them getting deleted. Jienum 14:32, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

If you care to explain this revert without comment, there's discussion on the talk page. So far nobody has a reason why this channel would be beneficial. Friday (talk) 16:40, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Noted. It also seem you have a POV with respect to IRC. ShakespeareFan00 17:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Yep. As with any suggested new procedure, it should be thought out a bit before being used. Friday (talk) 17:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Pattern?

I'm noticing that you've got a lot of edits challenging the fair-use rationale of images. While that's all fine and good, there was a fair-use rationale already present on the image I uploaded that you tagged. It was above the templates. I went into greater detail anyway, but it was largely unnecessary. Please be a little more careful in your edits. Thank you. – Bodhisattvaspath 23:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Currency Image:Cuban 3 peso note.gif

Thanks for your note. The image came from the Cuban Central Bank's website, so I guess they aren't worried about forgeries. The image quality is not really good enough to copy, and anyway 3 pesos are worth about 13.5 cents US money, so it would probably cost more to forge one than it is worth. -- Beardo 02:47, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey there,

I see you added a comment there. Just wanted to clarify, I did make that image myself. I don't do much related to images, you seem to be more knowledgeable - should I add in a line about the uploader (me) being the creator of the image, or is the tag included for licensing enough for that?

I've got a question about the fair use rationale. I went and looked at the box art for another game and basically mimiced that. I thought the tag that says it's a videogame box art is enough. I'm not trying to fight the decision - I honestly don't understand it. I seriously thought the use of the tag I used was enough - that videogame/cd/dvd cover art is automatically covered under fair use. Please explain, so I don't have to do this again in the future. Thank you. Dopefish 16:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

If you can give me a link to a page that uses a videogame cover tag the way that it should be done, lay it on me, so I can use that as a guideline. Thank you. BTW, I posted this before you posted your last update on my talk page  :) Dopefish 16:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale

I see you're tagging images of corporate logos I'm uploading as non-fair-use-rationale. After reading your message and the entire guideline for fair use, I have still to understand how you want me to formulate myself. All the logos are without doubt within the domain of fair use, since they only appear on the page concerning the company. How do you want me to formulate the description/licence tag? I have tried to rephrase myself, but it doesn't seem to help. Please by very specific. Thanks. Arsenikk 10:51, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

==Image tagging==

You know, I would have thought that an "upload wizard" would have looked after the tagging, especially after I "told" the "wizard" that yes, I made the picture all by myself. What a PITA.

I've been on wikipedia for a year and a half (on a different account) and never seen that though. Oh well, it shall be fixed. :) TubularWorld 10:29, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Re Image:Alchemistdemo91.jpg

Fair use rationale is provided with upload but template was not used. Please check the facts before bothering to pester actual contributors --Anthony S 08:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Images

I've tried adding the appropriate information to my images. Beg pardon, but I honestly don't know how, as I've seen few images lacking this information that have been tagged, even if they have been uploaded for a long period of time. Could you give me an appropriate citation on how to label this sort of image? Starkiller 14:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Lego Bionicle Promo Images

I assume you are referring to the Toa Metru images when you ask if I can name the source. I'm afraid that I can't, as I did not upload them and the original uploader did not provide his source. I have near-identical pictures that I downloaded from Bionicle.com, though; I would upload them instead but they're in .bmp format. Would that be all right, or do pictures have to be .jpg or .png?

Re. Unspecified source for Image:Janitor's_bucket_with_mop.jpg

As I've stated in the summary, the picture was taken by me. I've uploaded it under GFDL. What information is missing here? Regards, Húsönd 16:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Keep up the good work. :-) Regards, Húsönd 16:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Unspecified source for Image:FesterBestertester.jpg

I added rationale for this image as per you suggestion. I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look and let me know if I need more info. If the template I've used is good, I'll start using it on all future image uploads. Konczewski 16:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:US Seals?

These are symbols of the local governments within the state itself, and are used on official documentations of the towns and cities that they belong to. Therefore they can be considered government symbols which the seal template covers

Google Earth

I have added explanations of that the picture are, and what they are being used for.

I have removed the tags, so tell me if theres anything else wrong!

Google Earth Continued

Oh I See, if you mean the table of showing why I'm using it, I'll add it to both pics then.

Re: Image:RocknSockvsEvolution.jpg

I added an explanation cleary depicting why it is allowed. Explaining the fair use statement and qouting the rules of the fair use policy. I expect this is acceptable. Lex94 09:55, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Update on Kingston Transit Logo Image

If you haven't already noticed I have updated the Kingston Transit Logo with a explanation of fair use and have done the same on all other transit company logos I have uploaded. Sorry for the confusion I was never aware of this crucial step but I will always ensure now my images include an explanation if they are fair use. Xtreme racer 17:26, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

PUI listings

I think you may have gotten caught in the PUI page restructuring, because a couple of your listings were not added to the PUI log page. See Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images/2007 July 4. Oh, and do a force reload to get new updates to quickimgdelete that I did today. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 18:21, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Fancy_Lala.jpg

You have just left me with a notification that I did not specify the creator of Image:Fancy_Lala.jpg, however, it clearly states in the image's description that it was by Akemi Takada. I believe you may have made a mistake. Elric of Grans 22:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

hi

It looks like theres a rationale there to me.

What more needs to be said?

Go ahead and delete Image:13694 0005.jpg now. --Mrlopez2681 09:17, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

GFDL question

Hi

I received your notification regarding the ogg files that I just uploaded. Apart from adding the tag

(which I have done) is there anything else I should do? If so where do I go? Thanks for your help.

(PS although I mark each page with "watch this page" I never get any notifications of changes in my email - should I do something to enable this?) Dwsolo 09:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)dwsolo

Problem

I think there's a glitch in your program, you tagged an image I uploaded with a {{PD-self}} tag as having no source. I think that tag makes it clear who the source is. -- Earl Andrew - talk 09:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:TheGoodGirlCover.jpg

btw: Is CC Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 directly wikipedia friendly by itself, so i can just drop the fair use thing? --Zache 09:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Gill condy04.jpg

Just what are "Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts"? One really needs to be a lawyer to do anything useful on Wikipedia!! Gillian Condy provided a photo to be used in the article on her. Now I have to go back to her and tell her that Wikipedia is full of legalese and perhaps she should get an expert to understand Wiki policy and wording. These are ordinary people you are dealing with, and you are destroying their goodwill by involving them in an unnecessarily elaborate web of requirements!!! This is no way to gain support.

Re: Fair use rationale for Image:Getsumen_to_heiki_mina.JPG

Hi ShakespeareFan00. In the warning template you left about the image I uploaded, it indicates that there is no fair use rationale or explanation of fair use. There is one, below the licensing template, but are you indicating that this is insufficient? I can write a rationale that uses the {{non-free media rationale}} template, but it will say generally the same thing. Thanks for your input. Leebo ^T/C 19:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
