| Hello Greaterlondoner. I'm sorry if I was a bit hasty in listing all your articles on ]. When you edited most of your images out of of the related articles last night, but then stopped, and hadn't answered my message on this talk page, I really didn't know whether you were going to make any sort of response or explanation. So I waited until this morning and then started listing them. | |||
| To answer you questions about logos and other copyrighted images, I think you need to read the ] and the page on ] of copyrighted material in Misplaced Pages. Fair use is a special exception to copyright in U.S. law (under which Misplaced Pages primarily operates). Logos are fair use because they are unique - in order to illustrate the ] with an appropriate logo, which is an important piece of information about that organisation, we ''have'' to use their copyrighted image, so it is fair use, as long as we don't try to pretend to be TfL or to be approved by them. Similar reasoning allows some book covers, screenshots, etc. to be fair use. On the other hand, their pictures of rolling stock aren't fair use, as we could perfectly well go and take our own pictures. Taking pictures from other sources besides TfL is even less likely to be fair use. Crediting the source is not enough. | |||
| It's also an important aim of the Misplaced Pages project to generate ], so it's clearly preferable to make our own images if we can. The TFL images were also only 150 pixels or so, which is pretty small really, and reduces their usefulness in the long term. Putting them in the article might discourage people from going out and taking good, high quality free images of LU rolling stock, which would be really nice to have. | |||
| I hope that answers your questions. | |||
| Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described in the ]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-orphaned fair use-notice --> ] (]) 14:46, 6 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
| By the way, you should probably also read up on the ] so that you can put (high quality, free) images into articles in nice frames with captions, etc. You might also like to look at the ] which probably explains copyright issues better than I could. | |||
| Again, sorry if we (or specifically I) came over a bit heavy-handed. --]] 21:30, 1 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ps. take a look at ] and ] to see two different "fair use" templates in use, explaining the special staus of those images. You can hit "edit this page" to see the source of the image description with the templates in use. --]] | |||
| ---- | |||
| Thanks for your reply. I don't think there was ever a great danger of you being blocked from editing - if you had gone on uploading copyright-violating images and putting them into articles after being asked not to, to the point where it started to look like vandalism or deliberate disruption, then you probably would have picked up a 24-hour block; but you're in no danger of that now. If you aren't able to take your own pictures at the moment, you could look at some of the sites listed on ] (though they tend to be U.S. government sites). You could also try e-mailing website owners and asking them to release their pictures to the public domain or under an appropriate license, or looking for images elsewhere that are already freely licensed. Anyway, I hope you find a way to contribute to the project. --]] 17:32, 2 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| == Image credit == | |||
| Whne you ] you will see a box on the upload form marked "Summary". In this you should put description of the image, details of its source, and an appropriate copyright template. for example, you might put: | |||
| :<nowiki>A train of ] 1973 stock running on the ] near ]. Taken by ] on 5 August 2005. {{gfdl}}</nowiki> | |||
| This will then appear on the image description page and can be amended in the normal way for editing pages. For example, see the ]. If you are contributing your own pictures to Misplaced Pages you have to license them under the ] (though you can additionally release them to the ] or under additional licences such as one of the ] licences). --]] 21:20, 5 August 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Hi, you asked about codes for deletion and other issues on my ] page. | |||
| There are a few places you can check. You can go to ] for lots of useful information. If you think a page qualifies for speedy deletion, you can add <nowiki>{{db|reason}}</nowiki> to the page--replace the word "reason" with the reason why you think the page should be deleted immediately (without going through the votes for deletion process). Be sure to read the ] page and the ] page for the votes for deletion templates. for information about getting help with disputes see the ] page. Hope that gives you some answers. ] 09:57, August 6, 2005 (UTC) | |||

| '''Moved from my User Page:''' Greaterlondoner, I have decided you are worthy of the Original Barnstar for the many helpful edits you have made to articles on this fantastic online encyclopedia. Your help in building up articles particluarly in the London Underground genre have and will be extremely useful for Wikipedians and any other internet users, as there are thousands worldwide, who will use articles such as those to gather information. Thank you from both myself and the Wikimedia Foundation as a whole. ] | |||
| I would just like to congratulate you on the Barnstar I have awarded you on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation for the many helpful edits to articles that you have made on Misplaced Pages recently. Please view your ] to see this. ] 18:02, 6 August 2005 (UTC) | |||

Orphaned non-free image File:Megabuslogo2.PNG
Thanks for uploading File:Megabuslogo2.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 14:46, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
