Carnildo, I realised after I uploaded the image that I didn't choose a proper licensing, so instead I renamed the pic and reuploaded it, going through all the proper steps. Please feel free to delete the above image as it is invalid. I can't figure out how I can add information to it regarding copyright or to change copyright information. --] 15:42, 10 February 2006 (PST)

Hi. The file LambdaOrionisRing.jpg was removed from article Sh2-264. Although it had the appropriate copyright tag (in my view).

::The photo was ''produced'' circa 1914 (it has been stated in books that the photo was produced circa 1914: judging from the style of ]'s clothes, the style of photography and the age of Venetia Stanley, I agree with that assertion), but I do not know if it was ''published'' before 1923.

::It is possible that the photo was published pre-1923 (e.g., newspaper stories announcing Venetia Stanley's engagement to ] in 1915). However, extensive research would have to be done to verify publication. This would be impractical for me to do. The only British newspaper of the period that I could gain access to with relative ease are microfilms of '']'', and I do not know if ''The Times'' published photographs in engagement and wedding announcements of its social section in 1915.

* Carnildo,

I know that you need to check the copyright of the pictures posted here but please understand that LP covers are of public domain, everyone can show the cover of an LP that is available everywhere in the net and on record stores online etc.

*Carnildo,
:Unfortunatly all I know of the images are included in the summery. While I am familiar with Misplaced Pages's copyright policy, I did place the {{:Don't know}} template so that someone more qualified then myself would be able to determine its copyright status. The book, a 1999 reprint of Herbert Asbury's "The Gangs of New York", was published in 1926 with the majority of the images from various publications of the period including newpapers, magazines, and police and court records (principaly from the NYPD archives taken well before 1920). Although I would hazard a guess at the publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., the book itself states no specific copyright on the images themselves.

== Map of Europe during World War I ==

Hi Carnildo.

My compliments on your map of Europe during World War I. It is a really good image. But, as you have noted yourself, the borders on the Balkans are incorrect and show the 1911 situation. Have you seen map? It is a 1923 version of Shepherd's map, and shows the situation following the Second Balkan War, so it has the correct 1914 borders. Please ignore its headline, it only shows the correct situation between 1912 and 1914. The relevant changes are:

*Greece has been vastly expanded on the mainland and now shares a border with Serbia, Bulgaria, and Albania. Greece has also acquired Crete and almost all of the Aegean Islands.
*Italy has acquired the Dodecanese islands (i.e. Rhodes and a few minor islands) from Turkey.
*Serbia and Montenegro have both expanded and now share a common border.
*Bulgaria has been expanded slightly (to the south <s>west</s> east) and has acquired access to the Aegean Sea.
*Albania has become independent. Albania was officially neutral in World War I.
*Romania has acquired a small strip of territory from north eastern Bulgaria.

Otherwise it is a very good map. Keep up the good work. Regards. --] 15:17, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

: I forgot to mention that Cyprus was annexed by the UK as soon as war broke out. Since it had been under de facto British control since 1878, it is always shown as an Allied territory. Regards --] 15:22, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
==OrphanBot==
Hello Mark. I'd like to let you know that hiding unsourced images which are pending to be removed (e.g. ) doesn't help. Ordinary readers who're not editing the articles never know there're such images in the articles, and they've no way to help look for copyright information in order to put on the tags onto the image description pages. I've created {{tl|speedy-image-c}} for your bot to apply to the captions. IMHO, it's gonna be a much better way than hiding the images. Thanks. &mdash; ]] 17:57, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

==Request for comment==
You seem to have a better understanding of fair-use than I do (or at least you do a good job looking like you do, heh). So I thought I'd run this hypothetical by you and get your comment:

:Bob wants to add an image of a character from a videogame to an article. Bob finds the image on a website (let's say it's one of those tripod.com user sites). Bob takes the image and uploads it to Misplaced Pages. The website has a copyright notice on it (though the absence of one doesn't change the permission issue, this much I know).

Is the image Bob uploaded usable on Misplaced Pages under fair-use? If not, what's the best way to take care of such images? The images would be fair-use if Bob created the images himself (at least, this is my understanding of how things work now), but the fact that Bob got the images from a third party (which asserts copyright on the page) muddies the issue a bit (to me anyways). Still fair-use; usable on Misplaced Pages?

Thanks for your time. —] • ] • ] 17:27, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

:Standard disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice.

:Assuming this is a cropped screenshot and not promotional artwork, the situation is complicated. The maker of the video game certainly has a share in the copyright, as the creator of the game artwork. The person who created the screenshot may also have a copyright, for any creative effort involved in posing the scene for the screenshot. And if there are any mods applied to the game, the mod maker could also have a copyright claim.

:Bottom line, it would be a whole lot simpler if the screenshot were created specifically for Misplaced Pages. --] 05:21, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

==To Orphan Bot from MBeychok==

You left a message on my user talk to the effect that I had uploaded an image FlueGas2.gif without indicating the copyright. I very clearly stated that I had made that image myself using the Paint program supplied with WindowsXP. I have never copyrighted it and that is why I left the copyright information blank. As far as I am concerned, anyone may use it for any purpose they desire. Am I legally the copyright holder by default? If so, feel free to add that information to the image or wherever it should be so noted.

Thanks and please let me know what I should do about some other images that I uploaded which were all similarly made by myself and which I have never copyrighted ... all of which anyone is free to use as they desire. I am very new to Wiki, so please explain what I have to do (if anything) and how to do it in very detailed, simple terms. ] 06:43, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

:If you created the image, you're the copyright holder. If you don't care what people do with the image, I'd recommend a license of "No rights reserved". The option for that is near the top of the dropdown menu on the upload page, and for images that have already been uploaded, you can indicate it by placing the {{tl|NoRightsReserved}} tag on the page. Make sure you remove any "no license" or "unknown license" tags from the page when you do so.

==Image Tagging ]==
Hi Carnildo. I've just been left a message from your Bot on my UserPage about this image. It's not one of mine, I just lightened and adjusted it a little. The picture was uploaded by user ] who doesn't appear to have used his/her Talk Page since 2004. Judging from the file metadata I would assume that they took the picture themselves, but I can't be sure. Regards, ] 13:30, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
:You were notified because you were the most recent uploader listed for the image. OrphanBot can't tell the difference between image tweaking and a brand-new image, and currently can't tell the difference between a revert and a new image, so it just picks the most recent uploader and notifies them.

:I've tagged the image as GFDL-presumed, since the metadata is consistent with the other two images ] uploaded, which are explicitly stated as GFDL-self. --] 05:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

==Regarding Message Left By Orphan==

The original message left on my user talk page by Orphan about the image that I had uploaded (FlueGas2.gif) said to contact Orphan if I had any questions ... but it didn't explain how to contact you. It took me quite a while to figure that out. May I suggest that such messages from Orphan explain just how to make contact? I am very new to Wiki and I like it very much. However, the one thing I have found to be annoying is that most of the help and the "tricks of the trade" seem to be written by computer science gurus for other computer science gurus. They badly need to be "dumbed down" for newcomers like myself.

I am a retired chemical engineer with over 50 years of experience and I believe I have much to contribute here. But I am finding that it takes days upon days upon days to learn all of the ins and outs of using Wiki markup and the etiquette of how to use Talk pages and Discussion pages. Perhaps, what is needed is a section called "Wiki for Dummies" which should be reviewed thoroughly by some relative newcomers before it is published.

One final question: am I allowed to archive the comments on my user talk page to avoid having it become too lengthy? If so, how do I do that?

Anyhow, thanks very much for helping me understand how to license my uploaded images.

:Thanks for the suggestion of creating custom messages for OrphanBot to use. It's currently using the same boilerplate text that everyone else does. I should have thought of setting up custom templates when I was setting up OrphanBot, and I should have thought of it again when I created the custom message for one type of problem image.

:On the subject of tips, tricks, and suchlike, I'm afraid I can't help. I'm a computer guru myself, and documentation isn't something I'm good at. You seem to be doing fairly well so far. If you've got any questions, feel free to ask me or anyone else.

:As for archiving talk pages, there are three common ways people do it, depending on personal preference:
:#Some people simply blank the page periodically. This isn't considered good etiquette, though, as it gives the impression you've got something to hide.
:#Some people "archive to history": they blank all or part of the talk page, then create a link to the version just before the blanking. Finding the URL for the correct edit is done by clicking on the "history" tab at the top of the page, then looking for the edit just before you blanked it. This is the method I use to archive OrphanBot's talk page.
:#Some people create archive subpages: pages with names like ]. They then cut-and-paste some or all of the comments from their talk page to this new page, and put a link to it at the top of their talk page. This is the method I use to archive my talk page.
:There are also other methods that are occasionally used, such as archiving to subpages based on topic rather than date, but these methods tend to be very uncommon. --] 05:32, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

==Re ]==

Thanks for the message. There is however no problem with the image. It is simply a crop of an already existing WP GFDL image that was uploaded by the photographer. The original image is of a set of crown jewels. I cropped it to focus in on one crown, as allowed under the licence, because (a) the original image is alkward in size and shape, and (b) it enabled me to show the specific crown being talked about. Your bot seems not to recognise images where it is stated in the file that an image is a crop of an already existing image and wrongly thinks those images are orphans. At least however I was notified and I appreciate that. I have spent much of my time on Misplaced Pages of late undoing deletions of images that are perfectly valid but which were deleted by users who didn't actually read on the file that the image was valid, or where the image had been uploaded prior to current rules and where the problem could have been corrected in a five second fix to the categorisation, not whole scale deletion, but where no-one was informed that there was a apparent problem and the broken image was then left in tons of articles.

Hey Car:
Thanks for the note on my user page. I write articles every day and that has been going for three years so as you can imagine I can't even remember everything I've done lol.

I probably placed that image there because of this: I saw the image at a few websites by looking through Google and obviously believed it to be public domain. What should we do in this case?

You know more about that than I do :)

Thanks and ] bless you!

Unfortunately, your bot deleted the official portrait of former ] ].

Unfortunately, since Clarkson's term came to an end last year I dont believe the image is availavle online anymoreat gg.ca. During her tenure as Vice-Regal representative the image (featuring Clarkson wearing the Order of Canada against a Green Background) was made available in high-quality download free of charge to anyone who wanted an image of the head-of-state, or as a glossy print for a minimal fee. It was most definately fair use since it was created for the purpose of being an official image of the queen's representative. Is there any way to undelete it ? ] 22:30, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Dear Carnildo,

I want to add the {Fairusein|Feng Yun}-

How to restore the image - to which I do not have access at this moment?
Mutatis mutandis with the AGA logo (AGA.jpg on American Go Association)), I spoke with one AGA official, Rob Laird, and he asked me by e-mail to help him writing, improving the stubb - which I did. How cann I CC e-mail to wikipedia in order to proof that there is no copyright infringement.
Or should I boldly click on some of these Copyright tags (where I'm not sure which one the most correct would be?). Fair Use sounds good too, but is there a "Copyright granted in private conversation by (one) representant of that (group, orgamization, company etc. ) - tag, even if ''I'' wouldn't know whether this has person actually ''has'' the rights to do so?

== Strange selecitivity in removal of images lacking copyright info ==

Regarding the recent activity by the bot I am curious why it deleted one picture but not the other. The other picture similarly lacks copyright information, yet it goes untouched. Does the bot not source old pictures before a certain date? Anyway, regardless of the copyright of the image (which I shall enquire of the one who posted it, Junbee1977, though tye do not seem active), it is direct evidence of a phenomenon I had already commented on the impossibility of, so having it in the article is most valuable for proving the possibility. Compared to a conceptual drawing, date unverified (so it still may be copywritten) is just as much intellectual property not touched. --] 08:33, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
:If you're referring to ], there are many reasons why it's not removing the image: (1) The image is on Commons, and the bot only deals with images on the English Misplaced Pages. (2) The image is tagged as having been created and placed under the CeCILL free license by its uploader. (3) The image is not tagged as having an unknown source, unknown license, or an uploader unaware of what the license should be. OrphanBot relies on human judgement to decide what images are problematic. (4) Even if it was tagged, OrphanBot works one image at a time, not one article at a time. Given the size of the "uploader doesn't know" category, it'll take OrphanBot about three days to work through all the images. --] 09:05, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

==Suggestion to relieve OrphanBot==
If OrphanBot automatically targets images tagged with "unknown copyright", then that option should be removed from image upload, as it is unclear what purpose it serves. I uploaded such an image (]), found via a Google search , choosing one that is reused on multiple Web site. Thus, the likelihood is that it's a fair-use image or promo photo, however, since I could not find such a statement as to its ownership on any Web site, I listed it with "found it on an unconfirmed website." I might have tagged it {{tl|Fairusein}} or {{tl|Promophoto}} but that would have been an assumption. Thus, if unknown/uncomfirmed=prohibited, then such images should not be uploadable.—] 18:49, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
:{{tl|Don't know}} is supposed to be a placeholder tag while the uploader asks for assistance from a more experienced Wikipedian. Unfortunately, most of the uses have been "upload and forget", and the category's become overgrown with such forgotten images. --] 07:39, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I doubt that it violates any copyright, and I try where possible in writing articles to e-mail sources to verify copyright information. Like I stated on the talk page, if you google the image name, you come across the original forum from which I got my information. Anyway, thanks for informing me. Does Misplaced Pages have a copyright template for an image from a forum, whose copyright is uncertain? ]

I don't know why you removed the two images that you did, one that pictured the first Skaggs-Safeway name and its first president, MB Skaggs, and one of a picture of both MB and his wife. I received written permission to use both of those images without restriction so, unless I failed to tag the images correctly, they SHOULDN'T have been deleted. The first one is the ONLY image showing that Safeway Stores began as Skaggs-Safeway, a very important point in the history! I can't now find the images because you have deleted them.

Hello Carnildo. You tagged an image for deletion, but you did not notify the uploader that it had been so tagged. There is strong consensus that the uploaders of images tagged for deletion should be notified and that the person placing the tag has that responsibility. Part 3 of the instructions at FfD contain a pre-formatted warning for this purpose—just copy and paste to the uploader's talk page. The image in question was Thank you. <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 12px #ceff00, -4px -4px 12px #ceff00;">]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;]&#124;&nbsp;]&nbsp;</span> 23:30, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Misplaced Pages is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Misplaced Pages are ], ], and ]. Find the appropriate template in ] and place it on the image page like this: <code><nowiki>{{TemplateName}}</nowiki></code>.

The changes I would like are:

* image:red_kangaroo.jpg is a copyright problem as I discovered that the source of the image is selling it as a wallpaper so if you can delete again. Sorry about the mess.
*The continent names are "Amerika" (America), "Ūropi" (Europe), "Āwherika" (Africa), "Āhia" (Asia), "Tiri o Te Moana" (Antarctica), "Ao-o-Kiwa" (Oceania, which we would prefer to Australia), "Amerika ki te Raki" (North America), "Amerika ki te Tonga" (South America), "Eurāhia" (Eurasia) and "Āwhe-Eurāhia" (Africa-Eurasia).
* image:happy cat 2.jpg and image:happy_cat.jpg are likely the same problem so if you want to delete, go ahead.
* image:SimpleKangaroo.jpg came from a picture posted by another Wikipedian from Brazil (maybe). I took the picture and cropped it and renamed it SimpleKangaroo. Do as you will with it.
* image:may_18.jpg was a picture from an old press release found on the internet. It made its way into Paul Bremer's book "My Year In Iraq:...." photograph by Roberto Schmidt for Reuters was the credits.

Hi Carnildo, I think perhaps my lack of copyright technical jargon has led to my not explaining myself properly on this issue! You said...
''Images with restrictions such as "for promotional use only" are not acceptable for Misplaced Pages. They can't be re-used by anyone else, and if Misplaced Pages's coverage of the subject is negative, it's hard to claim it's "promotional". --Carnildo 08:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)''
...however, when I say it's for the purposes of promoting the church, I simply mean that the photo was taken to give anyone interested in the church a chance to see what it looks like inside, whether that be on its internal publicity or wherever, including wikipedia! The person who took the photo claims no legal authority over it whatsoever, it's just out there to be used by whomever, whenever! However, I can see how confusion would arise through my choice of wording!

:If the creator is really allowing "whomever, whenever, and for whatever purpose", including such uses as advertising or rants against the church, then the proper license tag is {{tl|NoRightsReserved}}. If negative and unrelated uses are not allowed, then the photo can't be used on Misplaced Pages. --] 21:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Well then "norightsreserved" it is! Thanks alot. ] 10:05, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I bet you don't have a clue what that site is all about, do you? Everything that the site provides, which is TONZ of structures, is free. The image was made by the staff using some of the structures and it's free too. I could have done it myself after downloading the structures either from that website or from (which i prefer as a source) using the codes provided by the text on the very page that you didn't visit - ''Four PDB structures were used in this picture: '''1f88''', '''1got''', '''1cul''', and '''1tbg''', from left to right''. And i have a program Cn3D 4.1 (it can be downloaded for free from ), that can work with the structure files and the result was going to be the same or very close, except that i was going to waste time to make something because i'm not allowed to use something else that's already free. -- ] 16:13, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

::Carnildo blocked 3 users (2 of them admins) for no reason. They said that pedophiles should be banned from editing Misplaced Pages. That's a very respectable position.--] 04:57, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
:::Hm, I mistakenly though that you blocked him over a blocking-unblocking war. I think it is something of a stretch to say that he blocked them over a simple difference in opinion. I think his goal was simply to stop a witch hunt: keep in mind that the only 'pedophile' blocked was a 16 year old. Of course, we should, and do, block people who are trying to slant the encyclopedia. I think here we saw much drama created by Carnildo's block-first discuss later action... and perhaps we should be (temp-)desysoping people who's actions impede discussion, but if that's the case, then there are many more left to do... --] 05:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
::::If one is to apprehend the question as one about whether it is proper to espouse that pedophiles should be banned from editing Misplaced Pages, one will perhaps fail fully to understand the question. I think it to be demonstrative of a form of intellectual infirmity to suggest that pedophiles—especially those whom we understand to be "self-identified"—ought not to be able to edit Misplaced Pages (I should note, for the record, that I oppose all age-of-consent laws, which perhaps colors my judgment, but I am eminently confident that I would support the continued editing of any other convicted of a crime, even the most serious of crimes, scilicent murder). Similarly, though, I think it to be altogether wrong to ban someone in view of his/her having espoused a view apropos of pedophiles that the latter should not be tolerated. I write, I suppose, then, to note that one needn't believe that those whom Carnildo blocked were at all correct on the substantive issues to oppose the blocks issued by Carnildo and to object to the fashion in which Carnildo acted. I would suppose that the majority of Wikipedians are more concerned with the content of one's contributions than the content of one's otherwise expressed opinions, and, consistent with that, I think most of us would believe both that those who called for the banning of pedophiles were wrong (in the opinion they expressed, not in the fact of their expressing it) and that those (or he) who called for (or undertook) the banning of the former were wrong. To lose the contributions of an editor—even for a short time—because he/she is a pedophile or because he/she supports banning pedophiles and has expressed (even if untowardly so) is unfortunate. ] 05:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
::::An interesting question, however, is that ... is it really possible for us to accept the edits of a user as unbiased when they insist on user page to advertise their point of view? And when it is one which would cause others to distrust our content? It would seem to me that such users value the promotion on Misplaced Pages of their perspective more than they value the usefulness of Misplaced Pages to the world. Are we really better off with anyone who feels that way, no matter what that perspective is? --] 05:51, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

:::As I see it, banning someone for being a pedophile, or for being a Muslim, or being a neo-Nazi is absolutely unacceptable: it's targeting someone for what they are, not for what they're doing. If someone's using Misplaced Pages to troll for children, or to push hate speech, or to advocate jihad, then by all means, ban them: they've ''done'' something. But to ban them for ''being'' something, often something they have not actively decided to be, gives lie to our motto of "The 💕 that anyone can edit". --] 07:07, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
::::I think what Carnildo writes is entirely correct. I must confess to having failed carefully to study his blocks and perhaps to writing while ignorant of all of the facts. If, indeed, Carnildo's bans were instituted in view of others admins' having blocked users simply for being pedophiles, his bans were wholly correct. I gathered, not having read the supporting materials, that he blocked other users simply for having espoused the view that pedophiles should be banned. In view of his response here, I suspect that he would not have so done and that his views apropos of allowing users to speak freely even as they maintain NPOV in their writing are akin to mine. ] 14:50, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

::::::Whilst I disapprove of nearly every ban or block issued for offensive speech, believing that Misplaced Pages works best when users are free to express whatever views they like on pages (e.g., talk pages) not part of the project, including views depicting antipathy for specific users, upon which belief I would base my objection to the blocking of Giano, for which Carnildo seems to apologize, inasmuch as Giano should be free to criticize pedophiles as much as he wants, I similarly disapprove, for the reasons stated above, of the blocking or banning of otherwise competent contributors because of (e.g., as a pedophile) or non-Misplaced Pages actions (e.g., engaging in pedophilia), and so I think Carnildo's block of Carbonite was altogether appropriate and that his blocking of El C, although perhaps premature, is likely on the whole to have saved the encyclopedia more quality prospective contributions than it cost the project. ] 21:18, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

There are different "states of being".

Being a rapist, serial kiler, Al-Caida activist, PEDOPHILE, drug traficant - will. I don't care if anyone from the first group comes here and starts making templates, talk pages, projects, you name it that is related to their "state of being". I would not care that much when people in the heat of the argument forget where they are and start using offensive words, as long as it is not some consistency - we are humans, sh!t happens. I would not care if the individuals from the second group come on "Misplaced Pages" and contribute for the common good, what's their life outside "Wiki" in this case is irrelevant to me. As long as they don't start flashing (promoting) their "state of being" - ''Over here.

This was my first attempt at uploading a pic for an article I had written (also a first). I tried to figure out what to do by reading the policies on Misplaced Pages, but couldn't figure it out. There is no place that says: Step 1: Determine this; Step 2: Do that...

The image I uploaded (a picture of The Casements, a historical building) was pulled from the website of the Ormond Beach Historical Trust (http://www.obht.org/casements.htm). The site is copyrighted by the OBHT. Since the site seemes promotional in nature, I figured that using the pic would be OK under Fair Use. They didn't have any place on their site to contact their people for permission (or for anything else, for that matter). So, how exactly does one tag a photo (I assume it would be: Copyright 2005 Ormond Beach Historical Trust). Once tagged, can it remain on the page under fair use, or do I need to get OBHT's permission? Thanks--] 16:24, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply concerning the Mk_6 image. In the reply you said:


I was considering applying for a job that's open at this company but, if they're using Wiki work on their company website, I'm not interested in dealing with the type of corporate culture that's OK with that kind of BS......

I have made contact with the person who created the original Mk-6 image, Stephen Sutton.

The template automatically fills in the source field with "The poster art can or could be obtained from the distributor." if it is not included. I went back and added a link but it seems a little unnecessary to tag an image for deletion when the template autofills in that information in compliance with non-free use requirements. --] (]) 22:12, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
I don't have a good answer for you as I was a missile
maintenance technician, but I did place your question in my Yahoo group forum
(this is a private group). Here's are some more photos I took at the Pima
Missile Museum. You have permission to use my photos freely.


:"Can be obtained from the distributor" is rather vague, which is why the bot doesn't consider it a source -- if you're going to go with the default there, you really should specify who the distributor is. Ideally, both the "owner" and "source" fields would be filled out, so we have a record of both who the copyright owner is and where the image came from, but the bot will accept a template where any of "owner", "source", "publisher", "distributor", or "website" fields is used. --] (]) 22:11, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

I used Ian McKellen's page as a reference to see what codes I needed to use when I started posting info for this actor. I was also in touch by email with someone from this website who told me to post this to the front page "photo and bio posted with permission." Like I said on another talk page, I'm new to all of this. I keep trying to post the photo, and it keeps getting deleted. And It seems that I'm not supposed to keep trying to put the photo back up? I'm sorry to be a pest, but you have an enormous amount of info posted to the copyright page that I just don't understand? I used this coding on the page with the head shot, fairuse with the proper symbols, but I guess it's not correct? Then I found these... Template Permission And Fair Use and this one Template Promophoto But again, I'm not sure if this is correct? And I'm not sure where I have to post it on the page?

Hi there. Could you check your bot's behavior at ] please?

:"Can be obtained from the distributor" is sufficiently vague that the bot ignores it. The bot expects you to fill out at least one of "source", "publisher", "owner", "website", or "distributor" fields; it currently ignores the "developer" field, and I'm undecided on changing that, since the developer frequently isn't the copyright holder, particularly for promotional material. --] (]) 20:30, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

I've just fixed up ], which has been without a lead image for five years, despite replacements being easily found on commons.

:"Lead image" is too nebulous a concept for the bot to deal with. There's no good way for the bot to tell the difference between "first image in an article" and "first non-infobox image in an article". Anything I do to implement this will be prone to false positives, false negatives, or both. "Only image" is easier, but the bot can't tell the difference between meaningful images and user-interface images. It would see ], ], and ] as having images, when a human would say none of them does.

Hi. Thanks for your note. I've dropped the picture you were unsure about and loaded up a different one.

I have made the entry, but this may have been too late. Orphanbot has deleted it. It is a lovely picture. It shows Ian Smith at the Bulawayo Farmers' Fair about two days after he became Prime Minister of Rhodesia. There was a lot of grumbling about "lazy kaffir" waiters in the beer tent and Smith picked up a rifle and took aim at one of the waiters. This caused much amusement amongst the onlookers. The picture was taken by a middle-aged reporter from the Bulawayo Times. The latter paper went defunct in 1981 and the photographer must be dead by now.
The picture has been used all around the world in numerous publications and web sites. There cannot be any copyright in it.

Latest revision as of 00:05, 19 November 2024

If you're here about an image, try asking your question at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions.


Answers to common questions

Why did you delete my image?

The simple answer: I didn't. Someone else did.

The full answer: If you're coming here to ask about an image, it probably was deleted because you forgot to note where you got the image from, or you forgot to indicate the copyright status of the image. See Misplaced Pages:Image use policy for more information on what you need to do when uploading images.

It says that anyone can copy this image. Why is it being deleted?

The image is not under a free license. There are three things that the image creator needs to permit for an image to be under a free license:

  1. They need to permit distribution
  2. They need to permit modification and incorporation into other works (the creation of derivative works)
  3. They need to permit distribution of derivative works

A permission to copy covers #1, but does not permit #2 (which is what lets Misplaced Pages use it in an article), and does not permit #3 (which is what permits us to distribute Misplaced Pages, and what permits people to re-use Misplaced Pages content).

I got permission to use this image in Misplaced Pages. Why is it being deleted?

Simple permission is not good enough. The image owner could revoke permission at any time, and the image can't be reused anywhere else: not in Wiktionary, not in Wikibooks, and possibly not in the other languages Misplaced Pages is available in. It also prevents people from re-using Misplaced Pages content. Misplaced Pages is a free content encyclopedia, so any image should be under a free license. Simple permission fails all three points of what constitutes a free license.

It says that anyone can use this image for noncommercial purposes. Misplaced Pages is non-commercial, so that means it's okay, right?

The Wikimedia Foundation, the organization that runs Misplaced Pages, is registered as a non-profit organization. That doesn't mean it's noncommercial, though: the German Misplaced Pages, for example, sells copies of the encyclopedia on CD-ROM as a fundraising measure. Further, Misplaced Pages is a free content encyclopedia, so any image should be under a free license. Any license with a "no commercial use" clause fails all three points of what constitutes a free license.

It says that anyone can use this image for educational purposes. Misplaced Pages is educational, so that means it's okay, right?

Misplaced Pages articles are intended to educate, yes. But "educational purposes" is a very vague term. The creator of the image could mean that they only want the image to be used by universities and the like, or they might object to Misplaced Pages's coverage of popular culture. It's best to stay away from images with such vague terms.

Further, Misplaced Pages is a free content encyclopedia, so any image should be under a free license. Any license with an "educational use only" clause fails all three points of what constitutes a free license.

The web page I found this image on doesn't say anything about copyright. That means it's free to use, right?

Wrong. In the United States, under the Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988, every tangible work of creative effort created after March 1, 1989 is automatically copyrighted. Including a copyright statement gives you a stronger position if you file a copyright infringement lawsuit, and you need to register your copyright with the Library of Congress to file the lawsuit, but neither step is needed to get a copyright in the first place.

I found this image on the Internet. Anyone can see it, so that means it's in the public domain, right?

Wrong. Anyone can see a book in a public library, or a painting in an art gallery, but that doesn't mean those are in the public domain. The Internet is no different.

The image was created 50 years ago. It can't possibly still be copyrighted, can it?

Wrong. In the United States, copyright lasts a very long time. As a rule of thumb, everything published in 1929 or later is copyrighted.

Why was Image deleted by ImageRemovalBot?

Hi. The file LambdaOrionisRing.jpg was removed from article Sh2-264. Although it had the appropriate copyright tag (in my view). It was copied from the Italian version of the article, where it was stated that wikisky had licensed it for use within Misplaced Pages. My mistake probably (but which?). Thx — Preceding unsigned comment added by CMBhuman (talk • contribs) 08:45, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

User:Fastily deleted it because it was licensed for use only in Misplaced Pages. Images in Misplaced Pages need to either be licensed under a free-content license or usable under the non-free content policy. --Carnildo (talk) 01:13, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

image reinstatement Concetta headshot.jpg

Wikimedia administrators, Copyrights for this image are held by Concetta Antico and with this email she gives permission for use of File:Concetta headshot.jpg on wiki page Concetta Antico. URL for image is 

ConcettaAntico.com

I make the wiki edit to reinstate use of the file on the wiki page by request of Concetta Antico. I send this email by request,giving permission for use of the image by the copyrights holder.

Neither Use of this image , nor reinstatement of it on the wiki constitute a conflict as I have no financial or legal ties to the page or its contents. I will continue my right to edit the page for inaccuracies and omissions. 

I submit this email per request of Concetta Antico as a personal favor.

Talk:CSS Virginia article that you authored in 2004.

Hello, Carnildo.

My name is Rick Jensen. I was doing some reading and research into the United States' first ironclads when I discovered your article on the Talk page of the CSS Virginia web page.

I would like to add the start and finish dates for the completion of the reconstruction from the USS Merrimack into the CSS Virginia to the article's web page. However, I do not know where you found your information for your article. So, I am reluctant to change the current page without being able to cite a reference for the dates.

Any assistance that you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

ImageTaggingBot

Hey,

Any chance you could set up some form of automatic archiving on the bot's talk page - it is really too long to navigate. If not, I may consider doing so, as it is far too long for me to read through to find if my issue has been reported (Tagging files with a valid non-free use rational with missing data). Thanks, Mdann52 (talk) 10:10, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

ImageTaggingBot bug?

The bot tagged (twice) a file I uploaded (a college crest) as having no licensing data, although I have given it a Non-free use rationale logo template for its licensing. Is there a bug with the bot or did I do somoething wrong? Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) 13:43, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

@Hansi667: this edit fixed it. You should include a general "copyrighted" tag as well now. Mdann52 (talk) 17:16, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
The {{Non-free use rationale}} family of templates aren't considered copyright tags. You need to include a suitable template from Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags/Non-free as well. --Carnildo (talk) 21:19, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

ImageRemovalBot not working?

Hi, I just noticed a lot more images than normal building up in Category:Articles with missing files and check the bots logs and its showing "Logging warning message" > "*Previous run is taking longer than normal" - looks like it may need a kick. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:19, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Bot has been kicked. It should catch up over the course of the day. --Carnildo (talk) 21:56, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Removal of two images in the "Skaggs Family"

I don't know why you removed the two images that you did, one that pictured the first Skaggs-Safeway name and its first president, MB Skaggs, and one of a picture of both MB and his wife. I received written permission to use both of those images without restriction so, unless I failed to tag the images correctly, they SHOULDN'T have been deleted. The first one is the ONLY image showing that Safeway Stores began as Skaggs-Safeway, a very important point in the history! I can't now find the images because you have deleted them. Please tell me why! Thanks, Don Nielson — Preceding unsigned comment added by Don Nielson (talk • contribs) 21:59, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

FairuseBot not working?

Hi. I am a WP:BAG member. FairuseBot seems to have stopped editing since 2011. Why is that? -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:00, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

A bug in how MediaWiki handles image redirects caused the bot to stop working properly, and I haven't gotten around to fixing it. --Carnildo (talk) 19:37, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

1988 Yellowstone fires

Are you sure that the redirect is useful? Xx236 (talk) 07:49, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, because that's what I typed in to my browser's search bar to try to find the article. --Carnildo (talk) 08:27, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

ImageTaggingBot parsing

I was amused (albeit also concerned) to see ImageTaggingBot put {{untagged}} on this, when there is a declaration of CC-BY-SA 2.0 two lines above it. I copy and pasted the copyright status into the wizard from the original file on Commons (this is a crop of the original for a close-up in an article). I assume the bot isn't designed to parse text in this manner? Ritchie333 14:17, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Correct, the bot can't parse free-form text. {{untagged}} used to be a template that indicated just that -- "none of the templates on this page is a copyright tag, but there's some free-form text that I think might be a license" -- but about three years ago someone decided to merge it with {{di-no license}}. --Carnildo (talk) 23:07, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

File removal

Hi, in some cases your bot hides images with the message "Deleted image removed:", any special reason why they are not outright deleted from the articles? TherasTaneel (talk) 21:24, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Many, many years ago, when the bot was first approved, consensus was that it should comment the images out rather than deleting them entirely. There have been a few efforts to change that since then, but none has managed to gain consensus. --Carnildo (talk) 00:14, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

ImageRemovalBot stopped?

Hi again, just come across a lot of images deleted today that didn't get removed by ImageRemovalBot - checked it's contribs and it's not done anything since yesterday morning. Just thought I'd let you know. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:05, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Power outage took down the computer running the bot. I'm taking the opportunity to do some hardware maintenance, and the bot should be up and working its way through the backlog by tomorrow. --Carnildo (talk) 23:13, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

MOS:IDENTITY is being revisited: How should Misplaced Pages refer to transgender individuals before and after their transition?

You are being contacted because you contributed to a recent discussion of MOS:IDENTITY that closed with the recommendation that Misplaced Pages's policy on transgender individuals be revisited.

Two threads have been opened at the Village Pump:Policy. The first addresses how the Manual of Style should instruct editors to refer to transgender people in articles about themselves (which name, which pronoun, etc.). The second addresses how to instruct editors to refer to transgender people when they are mentioned in passing in other articles. Your participation is welcome.

More bot things

I must be going crazy. What's going on here? — Earwig  10:15, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

There's nothing on that image description page that the bot recognizes as a source. You should provide either a "source" or "owner" parameter for {{Non-free use rationale title-card}}. The bot doesn't consider the default value to be acceptable source information, because it usually isn't. --Carnildo (talk) 20:37, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
Ah, the owner, that's what I was forgetting. Thanks, fixed now. I'm a little frustrated since {{Non-free use rationale title-card}} doesn't have any documentation and the template wasn't indicating there was a missing field. Cheers. — Earwig  00:39, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

In case you're interested, we're discussing your 100 random article analysis here in the Misplaced Pages Weekly Facebook group. Cool stuff. -- Fuzheado | Talk 16:24, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

November 2015

Hello Carnildo. You tagged an image for deletion, but you did not notify the uploader that it had been so tagged. There is strong consensus that the uploaders of images tagged for deletion should be notified and that the person placing the tag has that responsibility. Part 3 of the instructions at FfD contain a pre-formatted warning for this purpose—just copy and paste to the uploader's talk page. The image in question was discussed here. Thank you. Etamni | ✉ | ✓  23:30, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Image modification request

I see you created File:Continental_models-Australia.gif by modifying the text of a similar graphic. I would like to use a variation of this on the Maori wikipedia but with the text translated. I know little about graphics and have never tried to edit an animated GIF, and there doesn't appear to be a regular editor on mi with such skills.

If you don't have time or inclination to help, I entirely understand. This is not urgent. I can ask at Commons:Graphic Lab if you can't do it.

The changes I would like are:

  • The text "7 continents", "6 continents" etc should read "7 paparahi" etc.
  • The continent names are "Amerika" (America), "Ūropi" (Europe), "Āwherika" (Africa), "Āhia" (Asia), "Tiri o Te Moana" (Antarctica), "Ao-o-Kiwa" (Oceania, which we would prefer to Australia), "Amerika ki te Raki" (North America), "Amerika ki te Tonga" (South America), "Eurāhia" (Eurasia) and "Āwhe-Eurāhia" (Africa-Eurasia).

The parts in brackets are for your understanding, not to be included in the image. The macrons (lines above some vowels) are important.

Please upload the new version to Commons:File:Continental models mi.gif as the Maori Misplaced Pages has a policy of not storing image files itself.

If you are interested in the discussion which prompted this request, you can see it at mi:Talk:Paparahi.

Thanks in advance.-gadfium 01:59, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

ImageRemovalBot and image templates

Just FYI, ImageRemovalBot did quite a number on Situation awareness by removing image "links" within {{Plain image with caption}} templates. Perhaps you could program the bot to remove the entire template in those cases, instead of leaving a bunch of stray syntax behind. Thanks. – voidxor 23:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

I'll look into it. --Carnildo (talk) 22:14, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:13, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Migrated image bug

Hi, this diff removed an image from the bath bomb page after it had been migrated to Commons. Is this intentional behaviour? If you're running the bot without supervision, it could detract from a number of articles in the same situation. Cheers, Brammers (talk/c) 12:27, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

The problem is that the image was renamed in the process of moving it to Commons -- the bot cannot magically divine that File:Bath bombs.jpg and File:Lush bath bombs.jpg are the same image, particularly after the former has been deleted. It's the job of the user doing the migration to update the links. --Carnildo (talk) 02:40, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

source code of ImageRemovalBot

Hello!

Is the source code of the bot somehow available? Or is it possible to run it in other wikipedias?

Some time before I operated a bot in ru.wikipedia that deleted image transclusions in the articles and the bot was based on CommonsDelinker system. But now everything changed and framework stopped working - as a result we have ~3k of deleted but not unlinked files: ru:Категория:Статьи со ссылками на отсутствующие файлы. So, is it somehow possible to use your bot in ru.wiki? Rubin16 (talk) 14:11, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

The source code is available at User:ImageRemovalBot/removebot.pl; you'll also need the support libraries at User:FairuseBot/Pearle.pm, User:FairuseBot/Pearle/WikiPage.pm, and User:FairuseBot/libBot.pm. If you have any questions, leave me a message. --Carnildo (talk) 04:26, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of William J Brennan detail

This is a cropped (by me) detail from an existing Misplaced Pages file, as you can verify by comparing it with the larger Misplaced Pages file: William Brennan color.jpg - Please revert your delete. PraeceptorIP (talk) 17:47, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

What image are you referring to? ImageRemovalBot has handled hundreds of thousands of images over the course of the past decade. --Carnildo (talk) 01:40, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
The image is File:William Brennan color.jpg
PraeceptorIP (talk) 01:52, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
That file quite clearly still exists. Which is the deleted image? --Carnildo (talk) 02:38, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
Your bot deleted the detail of that file that I had made and put in Florida Lime & Avocado Growers, Inc. v. Paul#Majority opinion. The detail showed Brennan's head and shoulders without the rest of the body. PraeceptorIP (talk) 15:51, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
I'm guessing you're talking about File:Justice William J. Brennan - detail 1976.jpg. In that case, it was deleted by User:Explicit for lacking source information, and the bot merely removed the link to it from the article. Your best bet is to talk to Explicit about the deletion. --Carnildo (talk) 20:27, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

User talk:Tapan Ahmed

Your bot posted a warning about missing source and copyright information to this talk page but forgot to include the file name. Any idea why? If it was about File:F.e. image=DETECTIVE.pdf and if you used some template with an unnamed (numbered) parameter, then note that you need to need to include the number when the file name contains an = sign. --Stefan2 (talk) 10:55, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I've fixed the bot. --Carnildo (talk) 00:04, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

ImageTaggingBot

It seems there is a bug with ImageTaggingBot since it tagged File:Maria Labo poster.jpg as without any sources twice while there is really a source given for the image (which is VIVA Film through IMDb)Hariboneagle927 (talk) 12:46, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

I thought I'd finally seen the last of that damned navbox. Guess not.
The problem is that the source information is not in a computer-readable format. It's hidden inside a {{navbox}} template, which ImageTaggingBot quite reasonably ignores as being irrelevant to understanding the image description page. If you want the bot to stop tagging the page, use a machine-readable template such as {{non-free media data}} or {{non-free use rationale}}. --Carnildo (talk) 20:59, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Blanshard.gif

Hello Carnildo. ImageRemovalBot removed a link to File:Blanshard.gif on the 18th, a few hours after it was nominated for speedy deletion. However, I declined the speedy deletion a few days later so it could be discussed and the file was never actually deleted (yet?). Shouldn't the bot wait until the file is deleted rather than nominated? Fences&Windows 20:33, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) The file was deleted by one admin on 18 May and then undeleted by another admin on 19 May. You later removed the CSD template on 22 May. The file was removed from the article shortly after its deletion on 18 May, so the bot does not seem to have made any error. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:52, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
Huh, I had missed that and in two discussions nobody mentioned it! Thanks. So much fuss over one old photo. Fences&Windows 20:58, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
It's not possible for the bot to remove an image before it's deleted: the bot gets its worklist off the deletion log. --Carnildo (talk) 01:57, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Photo used at a website.....

Carnildo,

I did a TinEye search on the falls photo at: Imprezzio About Page and was directed to your Wikimedia upload Upper Spokane Falls.

I was considering applying for a job that's open at this company but, if they're using Wiki work on their company website, I'm not interested in dealing with the type of corporate culture that's OK with that kind of BS......

Long story short: are you in someway connected with this company/website: is this a kosher use of your work or are they pulling something skeezy?

Thank you, Brian

Mad Bunny (talk) 02:17, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

I've got no connection to the company or their website. If they can't even manage to follow a simple "give credit to the photographer" license, you're probably well-served to stay away from them. --Carnildo (talk) 06:13, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

What now?

So what licence do I add for this image, File:Lydia Ko - 27067658976 A.jpg, which is simply an improved version of an existing image with full licence details? Buggered if I can see what licence to use. Moriori (talk) 03:55, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Since the original is licensed {{cc-by-sa-2.0}}, that's the license you need to use on your derivative as well. The license also requires you to acknowledge the original author (Flickr user Keith Allison). --Carnildo (talk) 10:02, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
Never mind. Just replace my improved version with the inferior version. Moriori (talk) 21:44, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

File:Azad (2016) film poster.jpg

The ImageTaggingBot tagged this as no source. While technically true, a FUR does not require a source per the template. The template automatically fills in the source field with "The poster art can or could be obtained from the distributor." if it is not included. I went back and added a link but it seems a little unnecessary to tag an image for deletion when the template autofills in that information in compliance with non-free use requirements. --Majora (talk) 22:12, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

"Can be obtained from the distributor" is rather vague, which is why the bot doesn't consider it a source -- if you're going to go with the default there, you really should specify who the distributor is. Ideally, both the "owner" and "source" fields would be filled out, so we have a record of both who the copyright owner is and where the image came from, but the bot will accept a template where any of "owner", "source", "publisher", "distributor", or "website" fields is used. --Carnildo (talk) 22:11, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Image source prefilled in FUR template

Hello, could you please explain ? I converted this incorrectly marked free file into a non-free file with {{Non-free use rationale poster}}, which pre-fills a source, yet the bot tagged it with the DI version of no source. — Train2104 (t • c) 16:37, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

I should probably add this to a FAQ or something. Basically, "Can be obtained from the distributor" is rather vague, which is why the bot doesn't consider it a source -- if you're going to go with the default there, you really should specify who the distributor is. Ideally, both the "owner" and "source" fields would be filled out, so we have a record of both who the copyright owner is and where the image came from, but the bot will accept a template where any of "owner", "source", "publisher", "distributor", or "website" fields is used. --Carnildo (talk) 02:07, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

ImageRemovalBot

Hi, it appears ImageRemovalBot has stopped working. I noticed a build up at Category:Articles with missing files and checked its contributions page and it not removing any images and logging "Previous run is taking longer than normal". Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:58, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

The server the bot was on had intermittent network connectivity problems last night. The bot is designed to wait increasingly long periods between edits when it encounters an error; as a result, it was waiting 12 hours between attempts. I've restarted the bot and it should work through the backlog over the next few hours. I've also modified the bot to cap the wait at half an hour. --Carnildo (talk) 19:40, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
Cheers Carnildo — KylieTastic (talk) 21:55, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
It's mostly fixed, it just doesn't look like it. People have been busy deleting old versions of non-free files and moving images to Commons. The bot doesn't need to do anything with those files, but it still needs to look at the deletion logs for them, which takes time. (The bot finally caught up to actual deletions a few minutes ago.) --Carnildo (talk) 21:00, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Bot tagging

Please note that I've added a help=off parameter to all the DI tags, similar to how the CSD and PROD tags have them. Can ImageTaggingBot be updated to include that in its tags? Thanks. – Train2104 (t • c) 13:03, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Image removed without consensus

The images were deleted by User:Explicit for being clear violations of the non-free content policy, specifically point #1: a non-free image can only be used if a free equivalent cannot be created or obtained.

Re 'Lost in Space (2018 TV series)

A specially created image was placed and I recieved this response...

"Speedy deletion nomination of File:Chariot Images from lost in Space (2018).jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Chariot Images from lost in Space (2018).jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it."

I did re-upload as suggested but it was ddleted again by the bot. Tt may have been an error where I placed the {{Non-free fair use}} tag. can you advise where exactly in the upload info boxes i should place this in order for the image to be accepted, or the correct procedure to allow the acceptance, step by step... as I am new and learning - regards RokkoRokkoRokkanno (talk) 22:14, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Your bot keeps insisting that File:Warcraft III - Arthas - The Culling.jpg has no source information

Hi there. Could you check your bot's behavior at File:Warcraft III - Arthas - The Culling.jpg please? The NFCC template prefills the source information automatically and does not require a specific source as the default source is almost always correct. Yet the bot keeps tagging the file as missing source information. Other files I used with the same template (e.g. File:Dungeons 3 - Thalya.jpg) were not tagged. Regards SoWhy 07:10, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

"Can be obtained from the distributor" is sufficiently vague that the bot ignores it. The bot expects you to fill out at least one of "source", "publisher", "owner", "website", or "distributor" fields; it currently ignores the "developer" field, and I'm undecided on changing that, since the developer frequently isn't the copyright holder, particularly for promotional material. --Carnildo (talk) 20:30, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
Well, the template {{Non-free use rationale video game screenshot}} does not require those fields to be filled out, so I see where the clash is coming from.

ImageRemovalBot - add some maintenance categories?

Good work from the bot here, but I'll occasionally find articles where it's taken out a deleted lead image and nobody's reacted to replace it with something else. I've just fixed up Shadowgraphy (performing art), which has been without a lead image for five years, despite replacements being easily found on commons. Would it be worth the bot adding a maintenance category when erasing the only image from a lead section (and/or the only image from an article), so that humans interested in fixing these issues can do so? --Lord Belbury (talk) 12:22, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

"Lead image" is too nebulous a concept for the bot to deal with. There's no good way for the bot to tell the difference between "first image in an article" and "first non-infobox image in an article". Anything I do to implement this will be prone to false positives, false negatives, or both. "Only image" is easier, but the bot can't tell the difference between meaningful images and user-interface images. It would see Shadowgraphy, Roger Malik, and Johan Ernst Berg as having images, when a human would say none of them does.
Adding a maintenance category is a good idea, but it's not something the bot is capable of doing correctly. --Carnildo (talk) 22:55, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
Got it, I assumed the bot would be doing all its work at the unparsed wikisource level and wouldn't see the images in stub templates. That's fair enough then, if it's looking at this differently.
Do you think there's any mileage in adding an "only image was deleted" template (I guess a talk page template that uses a new subcategory of Category:Misplaced Pages requested images) even if it did overlook a lot of false negatives? Helping humans to catch some of these is better than none. --Lord Belbury (talk) 08:19, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
I don't think a template would be worth it. I just checked ImageRemovalBot's hundred most recent edits, and between stub templates, deletion templates, warning templates, flags in infoboxes, icons in navboxes, and other user-interface or decorative elements, very few of them would be seen as not having at least one image.
The bot does almost nothing with unparsed wikitext -- that stuff's a pain to work with if you're a computer, because there are so many different ways of doing things. The bot doesn't even edit the raw text, it parses it into something easier to work with, then unparses it before uploading. --Carnildo (talk) 21:14, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Nomination of -kinesis for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article -kinesis is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The url source for the image is https://www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/people/william-s-mcfeely, which links to the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Harvard University. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 22:46, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

The problem was missing close brackets in the "Minimality" parameter. That broke the template, and kept ImageTaggingBot from being able to read it. --Carnildo (talk) 23:30, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
Thanks. Is the image okay? -- Gwillhickers (talk) 05:16, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
The claim of being impossible to replace is questionable. The general rule of thumb is that for someone who died after 2000, there's a good chance that someone has a photo that they'd be willing to give Misplaced Pages under a free license (try contacting his estate, or the public-relations offices at Harvard and the University of Georgia); additionally, he was active prior to 1977, so it's possible there's an older photo of him somewhere that was never copyrighted in the first place. --Carnildo (talk) 18:12, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

"The Nonmetels" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect The Nonmetels. Since you had some involvement with the The Nonmetels redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Steel1943 (talk) 18:48, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Image removal

Can I ask why you remove the images?? AslanLionheart (talk) 21:56, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

If you're referring to your rifle uploads, they were deleted by a number of administrators for violating copyright. You can't just grab images off random Internet pages and use them on Misplaced Pages. --Carnildo (talk) 00:33, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

A message

Hi. Could you tell ImageRemovalBot to, when commenting out images with two or more line breaks either side of the image, either to place the opening <!-- at the end of the previous line or to place the ending --> at the start of the next line. What it's doing at the moment has the effect that it effectively leaves three line breaks, meaning there is a noticeable 'gap' in the middle of an article.--Launchballer 01:43, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

ImageTaggingBot error

ImageTaggingBot said an image I uploaded (ContrabandVelvetRevolverAltCover.png) wasn't tagged when it had a non-free fair use rational on it. I'd like to know what happened with the bot to flag it. ItsCreamfan (talk) 01:57, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

ImageTaggingBot bugs

The template below was left on my user page but appears to be erroneous. Please note the following issues:

  1. A citation was provided for the image
  2. The bot claims that "ImageTaggingBot does not tag images for deletion." but it left a tag on the image saying "Unless this information is added to this page, the image will be deleted after 17 February 2021."
  3. The bot's documentation talks about "lacking source information" but this is a red link and so the thing that's it's looking for does not seem to be defined.
  4. The bot repeated itself – that's edit-warring

Image tagging for File:Kristoffer Domeij.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Kristoffer Domeij.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Misplaced Pages, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:30, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

ImageTaggingBot has missed a file

Hello!

File:Religious Zionist party logo 2022.svg hasn't seemed to have had a license for its entire existing. Why hasn't it been tagged as a file without a license? Jonteemil (talk) 22:40, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. The bot got confused by the transclusion of Module:Arguments, Module:GetParameters, Module:Redirect, and Module:String2, and couldn't tell if the page had a license tag or not. When that happens, it takes the conservative route and assumes that an unknown transclusion is a license template it's never seen before. I've updated the bot to recognize that those modules are not licenses. --Carnildo (talk) 01:07, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
Aha, sounds good.Jonteemil (talk) 13:56, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi again. I have now also found File:Green Climate Fund.svg which also lacks a license without ImageTaggingBot tagging it.Jonteemil (talk) 22:14, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
There are going to be a number of files out there with the module-transclusion problem. I suspect it's going to be anything with a {{information}} template but no license. --Carnildo (talk) 07:03, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
Actually File:Green Climate Fund.svg didn't have {{Information}} but rather {{Non-free use rationale logo}} without a license, see Special:PermaLink/1043234501. Is it the same problem still?Jonteemil (talk) 21:57, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
Yes. Templates derived from {{Non-free use rationale}} use Module:Redirect to categorize the type of article link present, which got the bot confused. --Carnildo (talk) 20:18, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Image border for deleted images

Hello. I noticed that at Tam O'Shaughnessy, the image's file border remains after the deleted image was removed by ImageRemovalBot. I was wondering if the file border could also automatically be removed when a deleted image is removed by ImageRemovalBot. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:08, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I'll look into it, but template parameter syntax is so complicated that I can't guarantee anything. --Carnildo (talk) 05:57, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

BAG membership

Hello. You are listed as a member of the Bot Approvals Group but it appears you may not be actively helping in this area anymore. Do you intend to return to BAG-related activity on Misplaced Pages, or are you happy to be removed from this list? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:56, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Feel free to remove me -- I've been inactive on actually approving since the beginning, and haven't commented on a request in years. --Carnildo (talk) 20:21, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
Okay will do, thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:41, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Deletion of an image used within Template:Multiple image

This edit by ImageRemovalBot deleted one of two images used with Template:Multiple image, resulting in a single over-sized and distorted image looking like a mess. Please note, I am not contesting why the image was deleted. I wonder if there is a better way to remove the image from the page without the resutling mess? This could be a unique situation where the bot flags the page for manual deletion? Best wishes. Flibirigit (talk) 00:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

It's hardly a unique situation: there are many image-display templates that look less than ideal once the bot's removed the image. It's only worth coding special handling if the result breaks the page. --Carnildo (talk) 05:12, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention.

We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

ImageRemovalBot

Hi @Carnildo: I wonder how I can bring this bot on Urdu Misplaced Pages? I have been fighted with a lot of non-licensed copyright violation files on the project and it is too tedious to remove the usage from articles. Could you help? I can help provide translated edit-summaries in Urdu, in case this can be easily done. Regards, Aafi 16:15, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

The bot's source code is available at User:ImageRemovalBot/removebot.pl. You'll also need the support files linked at the top of that page. To make it work on Urdu Misplaced Pages, you'll need to modify the "$Pearle::Wiki" variable in User:FairuseBot/Pearle.pm.
The bot is written in Perl, so running it is a bit more difficult than the Python that most bots use. Feel free to contact me if you've got any questions. -- Carnildo (talk) 05:51, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

ImageTaggingBot question

Do you know why ImageTaggingBot double tagged File:Susan forsburg.jpg? There were no intervening edits so perhaps it's a bug? If this kind of thing has already been asked about and explained above, then my apologies for being repetitive. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:00, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

According to the bot's log, the server returned a "502 Malformed Server Response Status" error the first time it tried adding the tag, so it waited a bit and asked the server to try again. -- Carnildo (talk) 07:48, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
