It has been suggested that Fair use review be merged into this page or section. (Discuss)

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 source or license information, place either:

{{subst:nsd}} for no source

{{subst:nld}} for no license

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 for images.

Please also notify the uploader so they get a chance to fix the problem(s). The templates {{image source}} 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.

Before listing, check if the image should be listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems (if its source is known and it cannot be used under a free license or fair use doctrine) or at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion (if it's simply unneeded).

To list an image on this page:

I	Edit the image page. Add {{pui\|log=2008 July 6}} to the image page. If the image is in use, also add {{puic\|Image:Image_name.ext\|log=2008 July 6}} 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.

Holding cell

These images have been listed for at least 14 days. Images which have been determined to be acceptable may be removed from this page.

Tagged as public domain image, but source site reads the following:

"Unless stated otherwise, the information provided on or via the portal site www.belgium.be is not subject to copyright law. The information is available free of charge for personal use only, providing that the source is quoted. In cases where prior authorisation is needed for the use or reproduction of certain information, the restrictions on usage are explicitly stated. The use and reproduction of multimedia information (in particular images, sounds and software applications) are always subject to prior approval."

Image:Noronic49.jpg

The image has a notice saying that it is fair use in the US and public domain in Canada. The fair use rationale makes sense, so it is logical for the image to remain on Wikipedia. But the justification for saying that it is public domain in Canada is that it is a "Canadian image" either made before 1949 or else subject to an expired crown copyright. Yet the description says that it shows the ship in Detroit (not in Canada), and according to the article on the Noronic, the ship was in Detroit in 1949, so the image could date from 1949 even though the ship was destroyed later that year. And no source is given to suggest that crown copyright would apply. So while the use of the image is legitimate based on US fair use, the Canadian status is suspicious. Incidentally, I see that the same contributor has uploaded other images of the Noronic which have been deleted. — 207.176.159.90 (talk) 01:21, 27 June 2008 (UTC).

Problems concerning the copyright status. I'm sure Nishkid64 would agree as he removed it from today's featured article. — StewieGriffin! • Talk Sign 20:24, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for writing the nomination, Stewie. Moe Berg played for the Princeton Tigers baseball team well into 1923, which means the image might not meet the requirements for public domain in the United States. I have yet to find this image on the Internet. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 21:12, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

According to the Princeton University Library, Berg was Class of '23 and was captain of the baseball team his senior year -- which I presume was during Spring 1923.[4] I believe the img was taken from the book The Catcher Was a Spy; it might indicate what year it was taken, or whether it was a picture of Berg as team captain.

The current copyright tag is clearly not possible, as the author can not be certain to have released the image into the public domain if the author is unidentified. 1930-ish seems rather late for there to have been 70 years after the death of the photographer.

Comments indicate image is taken from Alabama State house security video. User tagged it as the copyright holder releasing it into the public domain. KnightLago (talk) 03:40, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

The user created the image as a screen cap from a security video tape from the Alabama State House. The only copyright issue is whether there is copyright in the original video from which it is a derivative work. The tape was merely left on, to be recorded over if nothing happened, and presumably retrieved if someone got shot in the chamber. As such, it lacks the requisite "creativity" to be afforded copyright protection for the only potential claimant, the State of Alabama. In the case deciding the copyright in the famous "Zapruder Film" of the Kennedy assassination, it was held that Zapruder had copyright because he was consciously aiming and operating the camera at the time, selecting the subject, content, framing and duration. The court stated that for copyright to attach, "It undoubtedly requires originality to determine just when to take the photograph, so as to bring out the proper setting for both animate and inanimate objects, with the adjunctive features of light, shade, position, etc." Time, Inc. v. Bernard Geis Assoc., 293 F.Supp. 130 (S.D.N.Y. 1968). Now, if a video artist set up a camera in Times Square to tape eight hours in the life of the Square, just to "capture the ambience" or whatever, for a calculated artistic effect, that would be a closer case.

The anonymous staffer who stuck a tape in the recorder, resulting in this image, lacked that "orginality" or "creative intent" to make it copyrightable. It is no more copyrightable than the security video of a convenience store.

There is a second issue, which Wiki policy doesn't handle well, which is the issue of indisputably waived copyright. If I have copyright in a book, picture, or whatever, and I knowingly allow its reproduction, I have abandoned my copyright. That would be the case here, even if the original work were copyrighted.

The image was formerly posted in an article about the subject of the image. The article is currently in something of an edit war, with a handful of admins providing informal mediation. Some editors claim the image is NOPV as overly negative and should be excluded; others that the underlying video has independent historical/notablility significance and should be included. It remains unclear what result will obtain.

Please let me know if you have any further questions. Audemus Defendere (talk) 08:46, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Uploader is claiming to by the copyright owner in the licensing section, however the text added infers the copyright is probably owned by Bruce Power. It is suggested that if the image is permissable, it should be tagged as a fair-use. There is no confirmation that licensing is correctly applied. --Stewart ^(talk) 20:47, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Two previous versions of this image have already been removed, and captions added also state that the image is from Bruce Power archives. It is disputed that the uploader is the copyright holder. Stewart ^(talk) 19:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Uploader is new to wikipedia format and attempted to make changes, of which relied on a trial-and-error procedure resulting in the user's requirement to re-upload the image.

According to source, images are "royalty free", but this does not imply they are completely free, i.e. using for any purpose whatsoever or editing/manipulating. Royalty-free can also be a somewhat misleading term, as it may imply a one-time payment rather than a per-use payment. It is also unclear where this image is said to be cc-by-3.0, as the tag indicates on the image page. Tom (talk - email) 18:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Please use these freely, and if possible indicate to us whenever you use any of these materials by contacting one of the following persons :".
