Speedy deletion nomination of File:Federated co-ops logo.PNG

A tag has been placed on File:Federated co-ops logo.PNG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Non-free use disputed for File:Caroline_Byrne.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Caroline_Byrne.jpg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Cindy_Duehring

Hi Gobonobo,

something what looks like a problem with your 2007 article on Cindy Duehring appeared on the German Wikipedia, where the question how to translate the mentioned "Resourceful Woman Leadership Award" arose. The sign of the possible problem is rather simple: There seem to be no Google hits on this award other than pages about Cindy Duehring. Can you shed some light into the issue, e.g. by possibly correcting the name of the award, removing the information in case you do not have any evidence for this strange award ever being given, or mentioning what kind of award that is and who awards it? Thanks in advance, --timo (talk) 22:23, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

I've added a source for the award from the Right Livelihood Award website. I'm unaware of the origin of the award, but consider the Right Livelihood website to be a credible primary source, even if no other information about the award can be found online. Thanks for checking in and for your work on the German Wikipedia. Cheers, Gobonobo T C 02:29, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for the quick and polite response. It fully answers my primary question (in that it is not a mis-spelling of some award that one could easily find resources on). My personal impression is that it is a bit strange to list awards in a person's biography that you cannot find information on who awards it to whom and for what; mentioning such an award does not exactly add much information to the article in this case. However, I am not familiar with the customs on the English WP (and in fact not accustomed to biography articles at all), so while I would tend to just remove this 1994 award I will leave the decision about that to you. Best, --timo (talk) 08:33, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Albert Ammons.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Albert Ammons.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Gyrofrog (talk) 19:08, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

P.S. There is a free (public domain) image available at commons:File:Albert Ammons.jpg. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:08, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
It looks as if that commons image was falsely listed as being in the public domain. While the photo was taken in 1940, there's no evidence that the photographer died over 70 years ago. Gobonobo T C 22:46, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Olive's Ocean cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Olive's Ocean cover.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 21:56, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Not sure I understand what you're looking for here, Eeekster. If it's just the publishing house, that would be Greenwillow Books. I am not in the habit of listing a website for fair-use covers of books, but I'm not sure if that's what you were looking for either. I usually assume that the cover image is copyrighted and, as is indicated by the licensing, owned by either the cover artist or the publisher, which I often list if I know them. Could you let me know specifically what you're looking for, source-wise? Thanks, Gobonobo T C 22:39, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
Where did you get the image? Surely it didn't appear out of nowhere. Be specific about where. Eeekster (talk) 02:09, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
I use Template:Non-free use rationale book cover for fair-use book covers, and the website field in the template is marked as optional. If you look at most uploads of book covers, you'll find that very few have that sort of sourcing, which is above and beyond what is required. I suppose the most useful website to link to would be the publishing house's or the author's, if the goal is to check the copyright status. I'm not sure that Template:Bsr is appropriate for book covers lacking source info, since the source is self-evident. Gobonobo T C 02:23, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Giving a source is not optional. Please report your source when uploading files. Eeekster (talk) 08:31, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Again, the source is the publisher or the cover artist. The source is not the same as a url. I'm not aware of a policy or guideline that requires the inclusion of a url, but I'd love to see one if it exists. Besides, in instances where I scan book covers myself, I really don't know what the "source" would be. Perplexed, Gobonobo T C 08:40, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

hello,

can you give a better source for File:Otis Redding.jpg, currently discussed on Talk:Otis Redding/GA1. Thank you.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫Heyit's me 14:58, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi GreatOrangePumpkin. I provided a link to the webpage the photo came from instead of linking to the image. I tried to look for the photographer and date of the photo, but came up with nothing. It should still meet the requirements set out in WP:NFC#10 though. It probably shouldn't be used in conjunction with the Rolling Stone obit photo, per NFC#3a. However, File:RSObit.jpg appears to be originally from Getty's Michael Ochs Archives, so it may not be usable. Gobonobo T C 23:22, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
