Houston, we have a problem. The logo has no copyright template onto it, and the description said that it was copyrigthed by Squad. This image is eligible for copyright protection, and therefore is either a copyvio or just missing copyright information. Longbyte1 (talk) 22:32, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
- Hello. I've been attempting to add information for the copyright licenses of a picture I added for Kerbal Space Program's Wikipedia article (In this case, it's the logo). The file in question can be found here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KerbalSpaceProgramLogoFullRed.png
- I uploaded the image to Commons, and I've tried adding the various syntax I could use - adding the Non-free game cover tag as well as the Non-free rationale template. However, when I tried previewing the image, it would be identified as a copyright violation. The only license tag on there right now is the Trademark tag, which I understand that it alone is not sufficient, if appropriate at all.
- I may be missing some obvious bit of information about Wikipedia's policy on "free use," which I understand is disallowed for most images. That, or I could be just simply filling out the syntax incorrectly. I look at other various images as examples, (i.e. video game covers and screenshots), all of which are under "fair use" and have the right, proper rationale all filled out, allowing such fair use. So it leaves me rather perplexed when I try filling out the proper tags and yet they don't seem to be valid licensing. Help or clarification is appreciated.

Delete Too complex, see COM:TOO. The uploader needs to read COM:FU. --Stefan4 (talk) 09:05, 22 September 2012 (UTC)- Delete: GabeIglesia, "fair use" files are not permitted here at the Commons. If you wish to use the file at the English Wikipedia, you have to upload it there and ensure that it satisfies the non-free content criteria. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 13:23, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, okay, I think I understand now. So, just to be sure, I should just upload the file directly at the English Wikipedia, not on Commons. Commons doesn't allow fair use, but the English Wikipedia can allow the fair use, provided with the non-free use rationale and the met criteria. I simply just uploaded it to the wrong place then. If I'm wrong about the policy, feel free to inform me again. Thanks for the clarification! I will not oppose the file's deletion on Commons. GabeIglesia (talk) 18:15, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, you've now caught our drift. To see what sort of information you need to provide on the file description page when you upload the file to the English Wikipedia, have a look at files in "en:Category:Commercial logos". — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 18:47, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
