Image copyright problem with Image:038925 1522f66b.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:038925 1522f66b.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 00:15, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Blyth power station.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Blyth power station.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 14:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problems

Hello. Concerning your contribution, Wylam Bridge, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.bridgesonthetyne.co.uk/wylam.html. As a copyright violation, Wylam Bridge appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Wylam Bridge has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Wylam Bridge and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Wylam Bridge with a link to where we can find that note.
If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Wylam Bridge.

However, for textual content, you may simply consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you. Katanada (talk) 20:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fintan264,

Please review Wikipedia:Copyright problems and Wikipedia:Copyrights before contributing any more material. I saw the speedy delete request above, and in the process of reviewing it, I've found two more articles which you appear to have taken word-for-word from their sources.

It seems obvious to me that your contributions are in good faith, since you provide the source you're copying from, but the source is clearly claiming copyright, and even if it wasn't, large-scale copying of text is considered plagiarism, even if you reference it. Articles must be written in your own words; sources are used to get information, not prose. Simply changing words here and there doesn't fix the problem; it is better to write things from scratch, to ensure you aren't using someone else's wording inappropriately. This has been discussed in a couple of places here on Wikipedia recently; I'll try to find some links to those discussions for you.

Thanks. --barneca (talk) 21:22, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
