Thank you!

Quadell, thank you for categorization of my pictures on Commons! That's really nice!!! Doronenko 08:48, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

You're very welcome! My pleasure. – Quadell 11:12, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Abdulaziz al-omari alive.jpg

This image does not list whom the copyright holder is, but a random website source. Blah blah deleted in 7 days. Kotepho 12:08, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I wish I had a better source. :-( – Quadell 15:48, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Gavriel Lipkind

Hi, You have removed three images I added to the entry Gavriel Lipkind. The images are free to be used by ANYBODY. It was approved by Gavriel Lipkind himself (who is a good friend of mine). Gavriel owns the images (and the label which sells the CDs). What needs to be done in order to be able to add those images to the entry? I have tried very hard to explain all that in the details of each image when uploading...— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kikibow (talk • contribs)

Greetings. When you originally uploaded the images, you indicated that Misplaced Pages only had permission to use them. I'm glad to hear that anyone can use them. The best thing for you to do would be to re-upload the images and give them a {{attribution}} tag (if that's correct). Also, be sure to specify a source. They shouldn't be deleted if you do that. All the best, – Quadell 15:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

The images can definitely be used by anyone. But the copyright is still in the hands of Gavriel Lipkind, and there is no permission to change any part of the image in any way - only to copy it. So for example, anyone may upload these images to their website. They even may print them into a catalog or into a book while mentioning the photographer, designer as well as noting the copyright.

I hope that still means that I may upload the images to Misplaced Pages.

Also, what does "source" mean exactly in Misplaced Pages?

Thanks for your help!!

Kikibow.

I'm afraid that isn't compatible with the GFDL. All of Misplaced Pages is released under the GFDL, so any images we use have to be released under a compatible license. This means they must be free to modify by anyone.

"Source", by the way, is where the image came from -- whether it was found on a website, or scanned from a book (and if so, which book), etc. – Quadell 13:02, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

what does uncontested rfu (CSD I7) mean? Ctjf83 15:36, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

"RFU" stands for "replaceable fair use". It means that the image is non-free, but that someone could create a free image to replace it. "CSD I7" stands for "Criteria for Speedy Deletion: Image 7". This means if you go to WP:CSD and look at criterion #7 under Images, it will explain the policy by which the image was deleted. It's cryptic, I know. All the best, – Quadell 15:47, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Fuller Baptist Church Picture?

You removed a plain photograph of Fuller Baptist Church (don't know why, but this is getting silly now).

All I want is a picture of the church on the church page! Please let me know how this can be done. I posted the picture as a "fair use" picture of a buliding or something like that as I thought that's what it was!? Obviously not.

Yours getting every so slightly frustrated,

SS — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soapshredder (talk • contribs)

Greetings. It was a "fair use" (non-free) picture, as you suspected. The trouble is, we can't use a non-free picture of a church on Misplaced Pages. Here's why:

An image is "non-free" ("fair use") if it's copyrighted and not explicitly released under a free license. Almost all the images you find on the Web are non-free. We can only use non-free images under a strict set of criteria. The first of these is, if a free image exists or could be created that could replace this image, then we can't use the non-free image. So a non-free photo of a church is replaceable, since the subject of the photo still exists and could be photographed by a Wikipedian. These images wouldn't be allowed on Misplaced Pages. If you would like to have a photo of the church, your best bet is to photograph the building yourself and upload it. All the best, – Quadell 19:28, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of image

Image Crave12.jpg

The image was deleted. This image was seen at SSW and is in many soap mags and was won at an raffle. Also the image was relased as a Media Image from ABC. I do not understand why this image is deleted and another image under the Evangeline Williamson page that comes from the same source is still there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dede261 (talk • contribs)

Greetings. Yes this image is seen far and wide, but it's still copyrighted. Even if you own this copy of the photo, ABC still owns the copyright. We can't use it on Misplaced Pages, I'm afraid. The Evangeline Williamson image is also against policy, and I have tagged it for deletion. All the best, – Quadell 23:53, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Policiy?

On your user page in section 1.3 you have misspelled policy policiy. Just letting you know. --Al.Glitch 00:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Oops! Thanks. – Quadell 00:35, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Image

You have deleted the same 1927 image of Wrigley Field from a Library of Congress source twice. What is so significant about this particular picture? --User:Zevonsky 2 July 2007

Greetings. Even though this image comes from the Library of Congress, it is copyrighted Chicago Daily News. (All photos taken before 1923 are in the public domain, but most photos taken in 1923 or after are copyrighted. We can't use a non-free photo of a stadium on Misplaced Pages. See the first criterion at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria for further info. All the best, – Quadell 21:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Joseph Kobzon article - image name "Kobzon with mic"

Quadell, you deleted this image but I am not certain why? I thought I made all the necessary tags when uploading it! This was a photo that I took. I am not claiming any copyright or anything like that. Frankly I don't care if anyone else uses it or any of the legal stuff, I just want the image back where I put it. The problem is that I am on holiday and don't have that file with me. Can you please put it back for me?

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgeko (talk • contribs)

Thanks for taking this photo, Image:Kobzon with mic.JPG, and releasing it under a free license! It wasn't clear at first that you had made the image. I have restored the image in the article. If you use image-tags with your uploads, you can avoid their deletion. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for more details. All the best, – Quadell 00:33, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:CadetEnduro.jpg

Hi,

Why was this image deleted? What does (uncontested rfu (CSD I7)) mean?

Thanks ExtraDry 02:42, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Greetings. "RFU" stands for "replaceable fair use", and "CSD I7" refers to the policy (Image criterion #7) at WP:CSD which calls for "replaceable fair use" images to be deleted. I'll explain.

On Misplaced Pages, an image is "non-free" if it's copyrighted and not explicitly released under a free license. (Almost all the images you find on the Web are non-free.) We can only use non-free images under a strict set of criteria. The first of these is, if a free image exists or could be created that could replace this image, then we can't use the non-free image. In this case, someone could take a photo of cadets in this sort of situation and release that photo under a free license, so we can't use this non-free image. All the best, – Quadell 02:50, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Could that image be undeleted? Under current Australian Defence Force Cadet policy a free image can not be created. Thanks ExtraDry 04:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't know of any law that would prevent someone from taking a photograph of cadets in training. If you could point me to such a law or policy, then the image could be seen as non-replaceable. Otherwise, it has to be deemed replaceable. – Quadell 12:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Correct to both responses. HQAAC and the various Regional HQs have provided appropriate consent to display the images on appropriate media. If you intend to use photos of any cadets in any publicly available media, you must have parental consent for each and every cadet in the photos as well as HQAAC consent which is only given to photos passed though this website.

That was taken from the AAC website. ExtraDry 13:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Right. . . but that only applies to those specific photos. You could still take your own photos of cadets and release them under a free license. – Quadell 13:38, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

No, That applys to all photos displayed publicly available media so to get a photo approved it must pass though HQAAC and to further add to the problem all the camps are held on defence bases which photos are not allowed to be taken on. ExtraDry 14:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Bone Thugs.jpg

Take a look at this - image keeps getting deleted and re-uploaded over and over again. Videmus Omnia 04:09, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I warned the user. – Quadell 10:38, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

What the Hell is your problem?

Those Kappa Mikey images where marked where they came from. You have no reason to delete them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.78.33.245 (talk • contribs)

Image Wizy poopy.jpg

Hello, I tried to fix the copywrite info on this image by reloading it, as this is my image, please tell me what to do to get the image back on the article. Thank you. --Adio11 13:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Greetings. I restored the image, and tagged it {{GFDL}}, so that it won't get deleted. When you upload images, you'll want to add an image tag. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for more information. All the best, – Quadell 13:37, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Problem uploader

Hi, Quadell. You once told me I could count on you for dealing with "Problem uploaders". Maybe, just maybe, Tatyaa (talk · contribs) is one of those. Would you take a look at the issue? Thanks, --Abu badali 13:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I'll look into it. Thanks! – Quadell 14:52, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Use of Image:Ap munich905 t.jpg in Operation Wrath of God

User:Joshdboz is disputing the removal of Image:Ap munich905 t.jpg from the article Operation Wrath of God.

Licensing question

Quadell, what license would apply to images from this website (state government of South Dakota)? The second to last paragraph states Anyone may view, copy or distribute information found at such locations for personal or informational use without owing an obligation to the State. The State makes no warranty that the materials contained within this information are free from copyright claims or other restrictions or limitations on free use or display. Just curious on how they should be tagged. Videmus Omnia 14:34, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow, that's tricky. I think that's another case of "almost free, but not quite". It looks kind of like {{norightsreserved}}, but a couple points make me doubt it. First, are images considered "information" on the site? Second, is that site "such locations", referred earlier as "certain information"? Third, does the second sentence you quoted mean the site isn't claiming to be a source, but just a conduit, resulting in an nsd tag? Fourth, does the fact that the first sentence fails to mention commercial use mean that only non-commercial use is permitted? And finally, the permission is to "view, copy or distribute" -- is modification allowed? For all these reasons, I would tag the images {{nld}} -- although it's a shame. – Quadell 16:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

BAG delay

This BAG delay is getting quite annoying. Do you think they might get round to Polbot3 soon? Carcharoth 16:26, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
