Cindy Callaghan Wikipedia profile picture
This upload request has been declined. Please do not modify it.
This request for upload has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the submission text.
Description: This is Cindy Callaghan's new profile picture.
File upload request declined. I'm declining this for a few reasons. One, putting this on Circus Circus Reno makes close to zero sense and Courtyard Buffet does not have an article. Also, there is all of one mention of the buffet on the Circus Circus article and it says that the buffet closed down in September. Two, Wikipedia is not here to be a collection of random photos. We are not Facebook or Twitter and we aren't here to post pictures of food. If you want to do that, you can start a food blog of your own. --Majora (talk) 01:24, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

File upload request declined. Would not increase the reader's understanding of the text of that article at all. The buffet is only mentioned once and only to state that it is closed. If the buffet had its own article that would be different but as it stands, this is rather useless. --Majora (talk) 01:26, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

This is a bit problematic in specifying both "All rights reserved" (not acceptable) and "Creative Commons Attribution License" (acceptable), as the latter quite literally means that not all rights are reserved by the copyright holder. Furthermore, the version number of the Creative Commons Attribution License is not specified, and we need to know that. It's advisable to use Flickr's built-in licensing to tell us what the license really is. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 07:39, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
@Finnusertop: Not necessarily. Per c:Commons:Multi-licensing an image can have as many licenses as the copyright holder wants as long as one of them is a free license. The current problem is not the use of a ARR and a CC license. It is that the CC license is incomplete. We need to know what version of Creative Commons that they are licensing it under. --Majora (talk) 18:34, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
File upload request declined. That logo, unlike the one that is just the N, is copyrighted. Since we already have a copyrighted logo on that page this one would not meet our fair use policy. Specifically, WP:NFCCP #3. Sorry, we can't upload this. --Majora (talk) 21:50, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

File upload request declined. Image would need to be under our fair use policy (not free). The article does not exist, therefore the image would be a violation of that policy. Feel free to refile if and when the article exists. --Majora (talk) 00:45, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

I had to mark this for speedy deletion as the article was blatant advertising. I have left a message on the person's talk page. --Majora (talk) 03:43, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

This request for upload has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the submission text.
Description: Framegrab: The World Tomorrow title card showing Herbert W Armstrong and Garner Ted Armstrong next to the words "THE WORLD TOMORROW". Offset 00:00:06 within trailer/opening credits. Single framegrab out of a 30 second credit-sequence showing the program title alongside the series hosts to represent and illustrate the title The World Tomorrow and to represent the program.
Author/Copyright Holder's Name: Earl Timmons/The World Tomorrow Evangelistic Association and Church of God Worldwide
Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: The World Tomorrow (radio and television): to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question. This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, television or audio-visual presentation, representing either a production logo, title card, or station ID or related logo/title graphic. The copyright for it is most likely owned by the entity which produced or distributed the media. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots
for critical commentary and discussion of the film, television or media presentation and its contents, or
for identification of and critical commentary on the specific logo or title graphic concerned,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,
qualifies as fair use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
Comment: An OTRS ticket has been assigned (2016091510013457) per a message received on September 15, 2016. The wording of the initial message did not properly indicate a valid release license. The OTRS agent working on it hasn't yet received a response, despite two replies sent (one on September 22, 2016 and October 24, 2016). At the moment, the ball is in their court. I am unable to locate another OTRS ticket related to this church (searching for "world tomorrow title card"). ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 23:43, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
Given the date, my guess is that OTRS ticket is possibly from their earlier attempts to upload the image to Commons, maybe? The current request above is worded to justify its use under "Fair Use", so I don't think a release would be required - provided the image meets the criteria of fair use, and is appropriately tagged with template:Non-free title-card and with Template:Non-free use rationale. I think that's what's needed? I'm not 100% certain, so I'll defer to someone more accustomed performing these uploads. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:54, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
License: No license was given; the show, and therefore this title card, are thus presumably fully copyrighted under Canadian law. (Canada is a signatory country to the Berne Convention as of 2012, and so are the U.S.)
Link To License Information: None. (Additionally, a query with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office Web site for the copyright register for Under the Umbrella Tree has been made but returned no results.)
Author/Copyright Holder's Name: "(C) Noreen Young Productions Inc. MCMLXXXVIII." This use on Wikipedia constitutes fair use under Title 17 of the United States Code. The byline was taken from the show's credits.
Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload:Under the Umbrella Tree, for replacing the title card therein, which is only for 30-minute specials (of a show normally lasting 15 minutes), with a more generic title card.

Sorry, it doesn't matter to us if it is inconsistent. The copyright status of the image is all that matters to us and that one is copyrighted under a license we cannot use. Sorry. --Majora (talk) 22:00, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Colne Park High School UK Logo.png
This upload request has been accepted. Please do not modify it.
This request for upload has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the submission text.
Description: The current logo of Colne Park High School as of 2016.
Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: It is to be used in a Infobox. The reason is that there's currently no images about any Promotional poster about dragon Gate and i want to publish it on a article.
Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: The image currently used as her profile picture is undignified and was chosen poorly. This photo from the Oscar De La Renta Fashion Show London is much more appropriate for a person of her standing.
This request has been placed on hold because the article in which this non-free file should be used is currently at Articles for creation. If the article is not accepted within seven days, the request will be declined. --Majora (talk) 22:02, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Author/Copyright Holder's Name: Ah Cacao Real Chocolate SA de CV
Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ah_Cacao_Real_Chocolate
The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing Ah Cacao Real Chocolate, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.
License: Fair Use. Fair use does not require permission from the copyright holder. Anyone may upload it as WP:FAIR USE. The terms of use on the Tommo Inc website state that media can be used for non-commercial purposes, and Wikipedia is non-commercial.
Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: The page for Tommo Inc. does not have a logo for the info box. Also, I'm not sure but it may fall under {{PD-textlogo}} as well, being only prose text.
File uploaded. You can find it at File:Tommo logo.jpg. Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia!
Note: This logo is not copyrighted as it is too simple to meet the threshold of originality in the United States, where Tommo is based. It has been uploaded to Commons. --Majora (talk) 01:10, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Steve Bannon in 2016.jpg
This upload request has been declined. Please do not modify it.
This request for upload has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the submission text.
Description: This image provides visual identification of Steve Bannon, which is not six years old and satisfies NPOV (as well as has good lighting).
Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: To be used in Steve Bannon, Counselor to the President, Political appointments of Donald Trump, et cetera. Reason for upload -- we have an existing libre-licensed photo, from 2010, which is horribly POV. At least four other wikipedians besides myself have complained on the talkpage. We also have an existing libre-licensed low-rez-video-screengrab, from 2014, which is in such dim lighting and such low-resolution as to be almost useless (it is used on spanish-language wikipedia in preference to the 2010 photo with POV issues however). Thus the upload satisfies:
NFCC#1, since there is no libre-licensed equivalent (in encyclopedic quality).
NFCC#2, upload will not hinder commercial use of the photo in external news stories and such.
NFCC#3_A, once uploaded this will be the only NPOV and encyclopedic photo we have, and also the only non-libre photo.
NFCC#3_B, the upload is low-rez 640x480.
NFCC#4, item is published, see URLs above.
NFCC#5, definitely encyclopedic, and the main reason for the upload in fact.
NFCC#6, upload meets all requirements including possible privacy rights since it was published to the website where the subject is the executive chair, by the employees of the subject.
NFCC#7, will immediately be used in at least 3 articles, and most definitely will always be used in Steve Bannon until a libre-licensed equivalent exists at least
NFCC#8, visually identifies the subject of the biography, in an encyclopedic pose of a reasonable quality that complies with NPOV
NFCC#9, yes will only be used in mainspace articles
NFCC#10_B, proper tag for this upload I believe is Template:Non-free biog-pic, but I'm not truly familiar with all the options
NFCC#10_C, to be used in Steve Bannon to provide a visual identification of the subject of the biography, to be used in Counselor to the President to provide a visual identification of the next holder of the position, to be used in Political appointments of Donald Trump to provide a visual identification of the holder of one of the high-ranking appointments listed.
Because he is a multimillionaire who almost never speaks to the public nowadays, it is unlikely that a libre-licensed and suitably-NPOV photo of Bannon will be available prior to him officially receiving the role, which is also when wikipedia readership-traffic for the BLP article will peak. Would like to use this NPOV-compliant and visually-more-aesthetic photo temporarily, until a libre-licensed alternative that can suitably fulfill the desired encyclopedic purpose.

File upload request declined. Invalid fair use rationale. Photos of living people do not (generally) qualify for fair use. It doesn't matter that it may be difficult to obtain one. All that matters is that it is conceivable that a free use photo could be created. The person isn't dead or otherwise completely inaccessible (such as in a maximum security prison) which are the only two times a fair use photo of a living person would be acceptable. Sorry, aesthetics mean nothing when it comes to our fair use policy. --Majora (talk) 03:03, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Fair use is unacceptable as the person is still alive. The image must be licensed under a free use license. See the above link for more information. --Majora (talk) 20:41, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
File upload request declined. Invalid fair use. As anyone could take a photo of one of their measuring cups and release it under a free license this would fail WP:NFCCP #1. Therefore, we can't upload it. Sorry. --Majora (talk) 18:03, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Hiram Maxim with first automatic gun
This upload request has been accepted. Please do not modify it.
This request for upload has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the submission text.
Description: Maxim is posed with his first automatic gun, i.e., the original version of the "Maxim Gun." The photograph appears between pages 172 and 173 of "My Life," Maxim's autobiography. The book was published by Methuen and Co. Ltd., London, in 1915, the year before Maxim's death. That information is on the title page of the book, which is available in toto at Google Books.
This request has been placed on hold because the url provided does not lead to an image, or is otherwise broken. In order to upload the file it must be available on the internet. If a working url isn't provided within seven days, the request will be declined. The link goes to google books for the book, but does not reveal the page in question. Can you link to the page?
