Image copyrights

Please do not upload copyrighted images to wikipedia without a specific fair use claim on each image. Images that are uplaoded without source or copyright info will be deleted. --Martyman-(talk) 02:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:FMA.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:FMA.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. -- Carnildo 16:10, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Blanking user talk pages

The blanking of user talk pages by either the user or by another editor is generally considered unacceptable, especially if the purpose of the blanking is to hide or remove criticism directed at the user. Please refrain from blanking your user talk page. Creating an archive is an acceptable alternative. --GunnarRene 15:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your additions of summaries to Death Note episodes

I've noticed that every time you add a summary wherein Raye Penber is mentioned, you spell it Ray Penbar. This was a mistake by the animators, and the signature wherein it is claimed that you can read Ray Penbar was blurry and messy so there's very little telling what it actually said. There was a clear one in Episode 6 that showed, very clearly, Raye Penber, that you can verify for yourself by watching it again, or I can upload my screenshot of it for you. There has also been a discussion about this discrepancy on the Death Note talk page, wherein it was confirmed (admittedly, by myself through other persons) that the name is Raye Penber by the creators' wishes in How To Read 13.

I realize that some fansubs are also using Ray Penbar in their translations, but this is incorrect, as shown by the clear view of Raye Penber as the signature in episode 6. Since the matter has been not only fixed by the animators, but also decided on the talk page for the main article, I would like to ask that you not use Ray Penbar on Wikipedia, and instead use Raye Penber. Thank you for your time. Nique1287 15:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing this problem. Even I was confused. Exukvera 18:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:RG Kate.png

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:RG Kate.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 12:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Image uplods

Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia, 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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia", 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.

Some links to Wikipedia pages on this subject:

Copyrights, Copyright tags, Fair use, Image description page, Public domain, Images for deletion, Possibly unfree images, Copyright problems, Uploading images

Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page. feydey 13:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Sourcing images

Concerning images from web pages: I see You upload lots of images without proper source information. To do this please add:

the exact source page of the image (like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atlantic_Monthly)
and the exact link to the image (like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Battle_Hymn_of_the_Republic.jpg)

in the image's Summary.

Also {{character-artwork}} declares: please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Image description page Thanks, feydey 13:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Copyright violations in Death Note episode summaries.

I noticed that you added a bunch of plot/episode summarioes to Death Note articles that were from other websites. This is against copyright law (copying of other sources). Please do not do so again in the future. If you have any questions, hit the "me" button on my signature and ask away. -- Chris is me 03:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Milfeulle_s.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days.

Please do not upload files in the GIF format

Hello and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you've uploaded a number of images in the GIF format. In the future, please save GIF images in the PNG format before converting (see Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload). PNG images almost always have a smaller file size, which decreases the amount of time they take to load. There are a bunch of other advantages to the PNG format such as lossless compression that you can read about on its Wikipedia article. ---Remember the dot 02:30, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Question about list of Death Note episodes

This is not an attack on you, especially since I only recently started contributing to Wikipedia. I'm only wondering why you changed some of the episode descriptions that were there (yes, including mine) when they seemed perfectly acceptable before. (Also, please explain this in future edit summaries as well.) Squierhater01 20:58, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
