File copyright problem with File:NYCDOITT.svg

Thank you for uploading File:NYCDOITT.svg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. — neuro 16:05, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:ADOT.svg

Thanks for uploading File:ADOT.svg. You've indicated that the image meets Misplaced Pages's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 23:30, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:NYCOCME.gif)

Thanks for uploading File:NYCOCME.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:48, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

You've swapped the png for an svg. Under fair-use criteria, images should not be any higher resolution than is necessary. SVG by definition has infinite resolution. This swap should be reverted and the svg should be deleted accordingly. Imzadi1979 (talk) 16:46, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

The SVG version of the file is a violation of WP:Logos and WP:Non-free content. SVGs are raster images, not bitmaps. Because of that difference, the SVG version of the logo can be scaled to any size without a loss of resolution or quality. The non-free content policy specifically requires that an image be of minimal resolution necessary to convey the meaning of the image, but not enough to infringe upon the original copyright. A PNG has a set resolution, unlike the SVG, and follows the policy. Please don't revert the logo again. Imzadi1979 (talk) 17:27, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
