User talk:Codeholder

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Codeholder!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

File:Maurice_De_Bevere.jpg

File:Maurice_De_Bevere.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that. The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Dont do that. Google present it like free licenced picture so please let it be and find something else to edit or delete. I dont think that is necessarly to delete everything that You pick up. Thank You. Codeholder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Codeholder (talk • contribs) 21:21, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Please respect my request to keep discussions where they started, as this makes conversations easier to follow. I am watching this page, so I will see responses made here.

If you have a source to show that the photograph is published under a free license, you need to provide the address to that source and state which free license the photo is supposedly published under, and you need to attribute the author (I sincerely doubt Google is the author, as you claimed). The only sources I could find were http://www.stripovi.com/index.asp?page=author-view&AuthorID=583 and http://sengamaro.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/tous-a-louest/. Neither of those pages look like they're the original source, neither mention any free licenses, and neither mentions who the author of the photograph is. —LX (talk, contribs) 21:30, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Just type Maurice de Bevere into Google and You get this picture. I dont think that Google will risk to public some picture that is under law. Codeholder — Preceding unsigned comment added by Codeholder (talk • contribs) 21:35, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Please re-read Commons:Licensing. Most files you find on Google are protected by copyright law and are not published under a free license. —LX (talk, contribs) 21:43, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

OK. If You are really convinced that this picture fall into copyright law, delete it. But I really dont think that using this picture for informative and study reasons would trouble someone. Do what is in Your best opinion. Codeholder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Codeholder (talk • contribs) 01:38, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Again, you need to read Commons:Licensing. Commons only accepts content that can be used by anyone in unmodified or modified form for any noncommercial or commercial purpose. Do you really think that you could use any image that you can find through a Google image search for commercial purposes, like printing and selling t-shirts? —LX (talk, contribs) 10:57, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

At first: I can use any source presented on internet for non comercial purpose. So if I find some design I really like and dont wanna use it to make money I can use it for example on t-shirt (and I did). At second: This is not the case. In this case is the picture used for informative and study purposes only. So this usage is not commercial. Dont You really feel the difference? But as I said before: if You cant sleep because of nightmares caused by breaking law by this picture You can delete it.

I sleep just fine, thank you, but it seems you still have not quite grasped what Commons is. Files restricted to {{Noncommercial}} uses are not allowed here. The file has already been deleted, but please spend some more time reading our introductory guides such as Commons:First steps before attempting to make any additional uploads. —LX (talk, contribs) 11:39, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
