FrenchNavyImage

On Wikipedia:Copyright problems is the following statement:

As of today, all *new* images which are *non commercial only* and *with permission only* should be deleted on sight. Older images should go through a process of VfD to eliminate them in an orderly fashion, taking due account of "fair use". (Jimbo) :Full Email, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

So template:FrenchNavyImage is not an acceptable copyright for Wikipedia, as it does not allow all third party use (in print media).

However, in the case of Image:BattleshipFrance.jpg the photo must have been taken before 1923, so that picture is in the public domain according to the article public domain. Thue | talk 8 July 2005 06:49 (UTC)

Image:AGSS-555Dolphin.jpg replacement

Greetings. I've replaced the Image:AGSS-555Dolphin.jpg with a more recent, higher resolution photograph of this ship. The new image is Image:USS Dolphin AGSS-555.jpg, and I've placed it at USS Dolphin (AGSS-555) in place of the image you uploaded. I hope you don't mind. --Durin 22:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:CrusaderII.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:CrusaderII.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media 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 media, 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. Thank you.

Image:Comet2.JPG

Aloha! Whilst editing, I came across an article using Image:Comet2.JPG, which you uploaded. You've provided a licence, but unfortunately Wikipedia also requires that all images used in articles have source information, in order that the license can be verified. If you're still around, could you edit the image to include where you found the image, or if you created it yourself, a statement to that effect? If a source is not provided, the image may well be removed from Wikipedia without further notice. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 23:02, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Acts of Union 1707

Today is the 300th anniversary of the ratification of the Treaty of Union between Scotland and England. It is being "celebrated" as per the following AP/MSNBC.com article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16638392/

If the problem is only allowing 5 articles, as a 300th anniversary, I think it outweighs Ivan the Terrible.

Ahseaton 20:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ahseaton. I am aware of this 300th Anniversary of the Acts of Union 1707. I have already put this on the selected anniversary template for May 1st a few days ago. It was a merge that involved two parties. I find it inappropriate to put this on MainPage on the anniversary of the Scottish vote and ignore the anniversary of the English vote. (The reverse would also be bad. BTW, I can't find the date of the English vote.) So, I chose to feature this on the anniversary of the merge to avoid the appearance of a bias towards one of the two groups. Moreover, I think May 1st, 1707 is the more significant date. And there are some even less historic events than Ivan the terrible to displace from the May 1st template. --PFHLai 15:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Gadget.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Gadget.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Timken1111.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Timken1111.jpg. 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 non-free media 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. Rette tast 21:46, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:CrusaderII.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:CrusaderII.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 23:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:RaurimuSpiral.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:RaurimuSpiral.jpg.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:AJPTaylor.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:AJPTaylor.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Besides which, the stamp is being used to illustrate the subject without any substantial critical commentary and not in a postage stamp article about the stamp itself, so a fair use rationale is not even suitable for this image as currently being used per WP:NFC#Images. ww2censor (talk) 15:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Supercarrier

Hi, in the summary for this edit, you wrote: "The first supercarrier, the USS Forestal, was commissioned in 1955."

But, if you have a look at here, you'll see that the first "supercarrier" was actually the HMS Ark Royal of the Royal Navy, which went into service in 1938. Hope you find this information useful. Have a nice day - wolf 05:39, 31 December 2022 (UTC) SUI did look there. For US carriers, the first "supercarrier" was the USS Forestal launched in 1955. If you want to say the Ark Royal is the first supercarrier then the Essex Class entry should read 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. If you want to say when did the US supercarriers outnumber the Essex Class, then that didn't happen until the 1970s. Ahseaton (talk) 12:21, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
