Images and copyright

I have noticed several of your edits across sports car articles, many of which are of old photographs (your Commons uploads). Some of your contributions, although helpful, appear to be iffy at best. Several of your images are uploaded under a claim of your own ownership or under public domain, although they appear to come from various websites which claim various copyrights. For instance, the Porsche 917LH at the Hotel de France has a copyright claim of "See this page". That page makes no mention of copyright except for the footer at the bottom claiming the page is copyrighted to the Hotel de France. You have uploaded it under Public Domain. This does not jive. If the image is in the public domain, you need to show where this is stated, or else the photo will have to be deleted from Commons. Further, the image of an Aston Martin DBR1 in front of the Hotel claims that it is scanned with permission of the owner of the hotel, but is uploaded under a claim of you being the copyright holder and releasing it into the public domain. The hotel owner is the copyright owner, and we would require his permission to release the image into public domain. We will need WP:OTRS tickets for images belonging to other people.

If you are the photographer for many of these other photos, fine, it is just peculiar that all the images you have uploaded exist elsewhere on the internet on various websites without any information to back their copyright claims, several of which are not on derekbell.com.

Morning, those two images were taken by Noel Pasteau, the previous owner of Hotel de France and were given to the new owner when it was sold at the end of 2013. I will have the hotel amend the statement on the history page to reflect that those two images can be used on the Wikipages.

I must admit to be being somewhat confused by how to tag the copyright on these two images, how should the license be amended. As you might surmise, I work in the sport and obviously know DB, Tony Brooks, Stirling and the hotel owner.

See text at the bottom of the page within the link giving specific permission to use these two images: http://www.lhoteldefrance.fr/what-to-do/hotel-de-france-history-le-mans/

The immediate problem with the text you have appended on these two websites is that you cannot make a specific license just for Wikipedia. If you are claiming these images as public domain, then they are public domain for everyone. You are effectively releasing all rights to the image and anyone can use it for any purpose they want. "Images used in the slider above and on the hotel’s facebook and twitter pages are the copyright Hotel de France – consent for use provided on request. Wikipedia have permission to use the following images in the public domain: 1971 Bell/Siffert Gulf-Porsche and 1957 Brooks/Cunningham-Reid Aston Martin DBR1" These two statements absolutely contradict each other. Either the images are copyrighted and you, or their original author, retains the rights to them, or they are public domain.

I'd also further point out that the image of Brooks and Cunningham-Reid in the Aston Martin are not actually on the slideshow on the Hotel de France website.

Please take a gander at Wikipedia:Image use policy for specifics on what can and cannot be uploaded to Wikipedia. The^35₉ (Talk) 18:43, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If the statement is amended to say that the image can be used on condition that the Hotel de France receives a credit, which copyright statement is the correct one to apply within the wiki upload CC-01??. The second image, as inferred in the statement, is within the hotel's facebook page.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
