Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Misplaced Pages. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.

  • Pick an image name.
When uploading an image, pick a file name that is descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.
  • Source the image.
On the image description page, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.
  • Provide copyright and license information.
This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.
If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like Photoshop or GIMP, then you own the copyright. To upload it to Misplaced Pages, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.) Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like {{GFDL}} or {{PD-self}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{PD-self}}, you may also want to use {{NoRightsReserved}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.
If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Misplaced Pages need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content. This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Misplaced Pages", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use". Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under fair use, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.
  • Describe the image.
To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

Unspecified source for Image:ANTM5 Nicole.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ANTM5 Nicole.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 13:42, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Eva ANTM3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Eva ANTM3.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Misplaced Pages because of copyright law (see Misplaced Pages's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Misplaced Pages are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Elcda0 07:38, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Your images are copyright violations

These images are neither free nor fair use. Do not continue to upload copyrighted images; they will only be deleted. Elcda0 15:13, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

It's understandable that you want to use pictures on their pages; ANTM is a modeling show, after all. However, even though the images you uploaded do not slander the copyright holders or the subjects, they still do not qualify for fair use. They are copyright violations. You must locate either free-use, public domain, or fair use images. Screenshots (like this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/Image:Yoanna_house.jpg) qualify for fair use as long as they are low-resolution, do not insult the copyright holder or the subject, and not used in abundance. You must put up a fair use rationale for the image as well. If you need more help, feel free to message me. Thanks! Elcda0 18:27, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Also: No, they are not copyright-free images. Just because they do not conflict with the person's interests does not mean they are not copyrighted. Saying so would be a faulty fair use rationale. However, these copyrighted images do not qualify for fair use on Misplaced Pages. Elcda0 18:29, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Copyvio

I think you misunderstood. The images you uploaded were EDITED by you; you found them online, and Photoshopped them. Editing a photo does not make you the copyright holder of the image. If you want pictures on their pages, you must locate either public-domain images or fair use images. To my knowledge, there are no public-domain images of any ANTM contestants. However, there are several copyrighted images that will qualify for fair use. Among these are low-resolution screenshots, low-resolution publicity photos, and low-resolution magazine covers.

Incorrect Licensing Tags

You are using incorrect licensing tags. These images you have uploaded are still copyrighted. They have not been released in the public domain. Elcda0 19:56, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
