- There may be a place for this on the English Wikipedia, provided that all requirements of en:WP:NFCC are adhered to. The image will need to be reduced in size to about the size used in the infobox. Davidwr (talk) 22:59, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi mate, just saw this comment. What do you mean by reduced in size to about the size used in the infobox? I used the same pixel WxH that the WSJ page used as guidance. Could you maybe provide me with some instructions as to how I'd be able to include the image? Lebronverstappen (talk) 11:25, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Herby, do you mind explaining to me how I can alter the photo to make it suitable for use? Cheers! Lebronverstappen (talk) 11:42, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry - it's a newspaper and copyrighted. --Herby talk thyme 11:59, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Herby, looking at other wikipedia articles on newspapers e.g. WSJ, FT, and their usage of copyrighted newspaper articles in their infobox, I was wondering what made my image different? I looked at the guidelines for fair use and it said that if it was low resolution, then it was OK? Was wondering whether you could provide any further guidance on this matter. Cheers!

Wikimedia Commons is not the place to host copyrighted content
editIn SOME cases, copyrighted images can be used on the various language-specific Wikipedia projects.
I assume you want to use these images on the English Wikipedia. Please read en:Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria for the English Wikipedia's policy on using non-free content.
In any case, the content cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Davidwr (talk) 18:42, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:AFR - Tues 7 Feb 2006.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |
