You cannot add material from a web site, because he web site is undoubtedly protected by copyright. If you think you can get the holder to release the material to wikipedia under a GFDL license, then follow the procedure at WP:Copyright. Otherwise, the only alternative is to rewrite the material entirely. Not a paraphrase, not a condensation, a total rewrite. DGG 07:42, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ants floating

Hi there, is the newly added photograph illustrating rafting or are they dead ants? If the former, then the image is justified, but the latter may not be relevant to the article. Shyamal 03:47, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Those are live ants I found floating in the pool where I live when I arrived home from work one afternoon recently. They're all clinging together and floating with the help of a leaf or a couple of flower petals. They were definitely alive. :) --Tim Patterson

License tagging for File:Austin Loop360.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Austin Loop360.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:05, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hi. I’m looking to add free-licensed photographs of the various season residences of MTV’s The Real World to the articles for those seasons, so I’m contacting editors whom it appears may live in or near those cities. Do you live in or near Austin, and if so, would you be able to take some high-quality pics of the Austin residence, and upload them here if I give you the location? If not, do you know anyone who can? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 14:05, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Netscape2.02 Screenshot 800x924.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Netscape2.02 Screenshot 800x924.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 the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:24, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
