Blatant copyright violations or images missing source or license information may be "speedied"

If an image is unquestionably copied from another website and no assertion of permission or fair use is made, the image may be speedy deleted under criterion I9. Please tag the image with {{subst:db-copyvio|url=source URL}} and warn the user with {{Nothanks-sd}}.

If an image is missing a source, evidence of permission, or license information, place either use:

{{subst:nsd}} for no source
{{subst:nld}} for no license

{{subst:npd}} for No evidence of permission

on the image description page to put the image in the appropriate category. After being tagged for 7 days, the image will be eligible for speedy deletion per criterion 4 or criterion 11 for images.

Please also notify the uploader so they get a chance to fix the problem(s). The templates {{subst:Image source|Image:image name}} and {{image copyright}} are made for this purpose, but feel free to write a message of your own. It is not necessary to warn the uploader about every individual image if they have uploaded several such images, but at least one message telling them that images without source/license will be deleted should be given to each user.

If an image is indisputably non-free, and its possible use can comply with our non-free content policy, be bold and retag it as a non-free image with an appropriate tag instead of taking it to this page.

Before listing, remember that images which are already marked unfree and used under fair use should not be listed here.

To list an image on this page:

I	Edit the image page. Add {{pui\|log=2008 October 8}} to the image page. If the image is in use, also add {{puic\|Image:Image_name.ext\|log=2008 October 8}} to the caption(s).
II	Create its PUI subsection. Follow this edit link and list the image at the bottom of that page using {{subst`:`pui2\|image=Image_name.ext\|reason=reason}} — ~~~~. (remember to exclude the Image: prefix).
III	Give due notice. Inform the uploader by adding a message to their talk page using {{subst`:`idw-pui\|Image:Image_name.ext}} Remember to replace "Image_name.ext" with the name of the image or media

Unlike Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion the primary purpose of this page is to ascertain the source and/or copyright status of an image. Therefore it is not specifically a vote to keep or delete but a forum for the exploration of the copyright status/source of an image and contributions should not be added solely in those terms.

Listings should be processed by an administrator after being listed for 14 days. Images that are accepted following this fourteen-day period should have {{subst:puir}} added to the image talk page and a copy of the issue and/or discussion that took place here put on the image talk page as well.

Note: Images can be unlisted immediately if they are indisputably in the public domain or licensed under an indisputably free license (GFDL, CC-BY-SA, etc.—see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for more on these). Images which claim fair use must have two people agree to this.

An archiving system was implemented July 2007. For older discussions, see the history pages. For all discussions from July 3, 2007 forward, see the Archive.

This page has a backlog that requires the attention of one or more administrators.
Please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared.

The image on flickr has been deleted, and this image was incorrectly tagged with commons:User:FlickreviewR, which is a process only used on Wikimedia Commons. Cirt (talk) 08:14, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Uploader has used the "attribution" template, but has failed to elaborate on this. Seems unconvincing. — Jameboy (talk) 18:29, 25 September 2008 (UTC) This picture has been up for years I am surprised at the sudden interest, I have plenty of other pictures which i personally took of Jones in his playing days at man united which I can put up if that is any better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.12.47.249 (talk) 16:48, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I got permission from the author via e-mail to release this image for use on wikipedia, dependent on her being cited as the creator of the work, which I have done. --TrustTruth (talk) 19:49, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Here is the text of the e-mail exchange: "Would you mind releasing your photo DSC05933.jpg from the groundbreaking to the public domain so we can use it in the Wikipedia bio of Shanon Brooks? We will definitely give you photo credit. Thanks!" RESPONSE: "You bet. I'd be honored. If there is a way to credit the photographer please use Tamra Hyde www.modernexpressionsphoto.com - Tamra" -- TrustTruth (talk) 19:51, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Got OTRS? ViperSnake151 19:53, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I am the photographer who captured this image of Dr. Brooks at the ground breaking of Gorge Wyth Univerity. Yes it is true that I did give permission for this photo to be used in a wikipedia article about Dr. Brooks. BUT the requester asked for permission using the initials O.D. And the email address odemille@gmail.com. I mistakenly thought the author of the article was Dr. Oliver DeMille as I was led falsely to believe so. I withdraw my permission to use the image as I have no idea who this author is or what his/her intentions may be. Anyone who pretends to be someone else instead of being upfront with their intentions cannot possibly be "trusted" to tell the "truth".

Tamra Hyde www.modernexpressionsphoto.com

It looks like we better delete it then. --TrustTruth (talk) 05:58, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

The photographer just confirmed to me in an e-mail that she is withdrawing permission for its use in Wikipedia. Please delete the photo. --TrustTruth (talk) 21:28, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

No indication why this is supposed to be in the public domain. It's a WWII photo; the author may well have died less than 70 years ago. Sandstein 23:06, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Appears to be a professional promotional shot of web resolution - that coupled with the lack of Exif data makes me suspect it is not free Peripitus (Talk) 23:11, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

My apologies as I may have done this wrong. I have a release notice authorizing Mr. Hairston to use this photograph in any way he deems necessary. How can I change the use if needed and provide you with the release notice if needed? Please let me know what I need to do in order to keep the photo here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deborahtoo (talk • contribs) 19:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

If the image is available under a free license, email evidence of same to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Stifle (talk) 21:53, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I have a hard time crediting the contributor's assertion that the image is self-made. Not only does it look like a long-ago publicity shot, but I found the same image at http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/3/3e/200px-BennettCerf1.jpg Orlady (talk) 23:48, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Image:Johndaly.JPG

Looks like a publicity photo, and thus not likely to be a self-made image by the contributor, as asserted. Indeed, the same image is on http://rockermouse.com/whatsmyline.html, where it is identified as a CBS publicity photo. Orlady (talk) 23:52, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
