It's a work of art by living artist Jeff Koons -Man vyi (talk) 15:16, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- I will PAY ATTENTION TO COPYRIGHT in the future, thanks :| --Closedmouth (talk) 04:02, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
- The other sculptures are allowed under COM:FOP - although I'd have a question over the US-located image. But it's generally agreed I think that there can't be any freedom of panorama in a gallery. (And I agree, the copyvio template warning is a trifle abrupt given the uncertainties of the interpretation of law in this area). Man vyi (talk) 07:38, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images
edit
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 05:45, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

File removal notice
editFile:Necromancer.jpg You posted that the necromancer cover image that I post does not have permission. I was asked by Zephfire to post the image she works directly for the Author of the book series, you spoke with her earlier today. Here is a post that authorizes her to update his wikipedia pages http://flamelssecret.9.forumer.com/index.php?showtopic=284&st=0&#entry60021 she is getting further approval for the image Dncingfawn (talk) 23:52, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
- I can confirm that I asked Dcngfwn to upload the warlock cover image for me as I wasn't sure how to go about it myself. I have the express permission from the author to do this, which can be verified at the post that she's linked you to above and also I have an email from the author which I can forward if needed. Zephfya (talk) 23:49, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
- I would recommend you stick with the fair use images rather than getting the author to release the copyright. If you really want to do that, though, you have to have explicit permission from the copyright holder that they wish to release it under one of the compatible licences here at Commons. They can do this by emailing the address given in the deletion notice. But like I said, book covers are pretty easily covered under fair-use (in fact, I uploaded this one to enwp myself, to replace the one I nominated for deletion), and it's not necessary to relinquish copyright just to have them in the article. --Closedmouth (talk) 09:41, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

File tagging File:Banksyglasto.JPG
editThis media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Banksyglasto.JPG. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Banksyglasto.JPG]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |
