What's the deal with photos of living people? If I find a photo on Flickr.com that the photographer has released under CC and it is of a really famous person can I upload it to wikipedia? Sometimes somethings ( talk) 04:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
“ | Our copyright rules may seem overly paranoid....there has been a lot of thought put into them. | ” |
I don't find them at all paranoid. They are rational and well reasoned; I would like to find a good resource for learning all of them without my head spinning off! I don't doubt there has been a lot of work put into them. I certainly appreciate that work and all the work that you and others do. In actuality, I'm very fussy about sticking to copyright law for anything that will be seen by others. I flagrantly ignore copyright law when it's for my own enjoyment—which I know is still illegal—but I don't care; there are lots of things I don't like about copyright law, and it's my bit of civil disobedience. That doesn't mean I'm not committed to maintaining legality elsewhere. (wikipedia and publications for work, for example) Sometimes somethings ( talk) 05:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
So I'm fairly high-functioning in Spanish, and I was over on es.wikipedia, and I'm wondering, are all the photos in es articles hosted at commons? Their how-to for adding images to articles says to upload them to commons, and I can't find anyplace to upload photos directly to the wikipedia. Does anyone know what this is about?

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Ancient roman aqueduct turkey detail.png, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Ancient roman aqueduct turkey detail.png has a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission, which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles ( CSD I3). While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case [1] [2]. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.
