Image Tagging Image:Al-Pacino.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Al-Pacino.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

File:Arnold AS Conan.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.

Sorry, per our email communications, the artwork is derivative of the promotional images of Arnold's Conan. Unless you have been given permission by Universal Pictures to use that image for any purpose, Commons cannot host it for others to reuse. The warning above is a standard template (so please do not be offended). --Jappalang (talk) 13:49, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- I have removed the {{Copyvio}} template from this image after it was undeleted. This image is a photograph of a painting created by Atula Siriwardane. Neither this image nor the painting which Atula Siriwardane created, photographed, and uploaded the image of to commons would be considered a copyright violation or derivative work. It is not a copyright violation to use a photo or illustration showing the likeness of the subject of a physical painting when creating a painting, which is the case here. --Tothwolf (talk) 20:51, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
- Tothwolf, it might do well for you to read up Commons:Derivative works. Atula's painting of Conan is a direct copy of the copyrighted photo, making it a derivative work and hence copyrighted to Universal Pictures. The copyright of that particular Conan image is not hers to manage. Jappalang (talk) 08:08, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
