Publicity stills[edit]
I guess some may be PD but we can't assume that they all are. Here is an article from Wikipedia regarding fair use of such photos: en:Wikipedia:Publicity photos, Regards --Robek 01:35, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've read [1] and with all due respect I think he's wrong. Firstly he writes: I was informed that copyright has lapsed or was never claimed - well it has to be 70yrs from authors death for photos to become PD and we can't assume that it has happened already :). and secondly Most (if not all) of these photos were (and are) publicity photos, issued free of charge by movie studios - free of charge doesn't mean public domain, studios have kept the copyright and if you used those photos for, say promoting your own film, they would make use of it --Robek 01:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, now I know what all the confusion's about :) en:Image:Judy Garland 1947 publ.jpg is copyrighted, but it qualifies for en:fair use on en.wikipedia. Wikimedia Commons - which is a different project - only accepts free content, so it can be used by anyone and everywhere in the world (some countries believe it or not, do not allow fair use). Hope that explained the problem. Kind regards --Robek 02:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- You might want to have a look at this: Commons:Licensing - it has a brief introduction to different copyright statuses. --Robek 02:15, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Judygarland_mickeyrooney_louisbmayer_mgmpublicitystill.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.

Your account will be renamed[edit]
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ozgod. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ozgod~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
