[edit] License tagging for Image:Leftovers photo01.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Leftovers photo01.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 11:11, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re Image:Leftovers1.jpg

The tag on this image is very confusing. It is stated that:

  • Only non-commercial or educational use of this file is permitted. But also that
  • The copyright holder has released the image for any purpose. But also that you have
  • Express permission from author for use to promote this band for historical or other purpose.

It's not clear to me that the copyright holder is really ready to let this picture go. With some exceptions, we only use images that have been released completely and unreservedly into the public domain (or under the GDFL). That means someone else could (for instance) take the image and use it to denigrate the band. Anyway, this is why the image (and some other images also of the band) has been deleted.

[edit] re Image:Leftovers1.jpg

Hi Herostratus. Sorry for this but the confusion was mine entirely when uploading the images - I am very "green" at the WikiPedia game! The suthor/owner of the picture(s) was happy for the pictures to be released to the public domain (for the reasons stated, ie: historical relevance of this band) but I selected the wrong tags, re-loaded the images witht he wrong reason (in the pull-down menu), reloaded AGAIN but may have overlooked something yet again. Can I change the status of the copyright information? I'll have another look but I may have to upload again :( My apologies for wasting people's time... I'll get it right sooner or later!

[edit] The (Fucken) Leftovers

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article The (Fucken) Leftovers, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:The (Fucken) Leftovers. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] The (Fucken) Leftovers - Oh well...

Oh well, I guess it's difficult to prove to outsiders the relevance and importance of an obscure band like this but suffice to say they were very important and relevant to the emerging scene here. I really must say that there are many other inclusions in Wikipedia that now surprise me even more so considerring they ahve no importance whatsoever, especially some Scandanavian band of the same name. Never mind. Is there any way I can get a copy of what was deleted from view? Marc Austin-Zande 23:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
