I saw a page where the link had messed up a bit: Image:Huddersfield1000px.jpg
Does that always happen? - Nojer2 07:41, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That is the crux of my confusion - I have some images that the creator has given permission to use in Wikipedia, for me to put up. This sounds like the tag to use. But of course, how does Wiki know that I actually have valid permission - this tag, as I see it , could be badly misused. --Dumarest 14:49, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Agreed - I've developed some code to categorise this into an appropriate category. It also gives a warning if no username is specified. Could an administrator review this and incorporate it if they feel appropriate. – Tivedshambo (talk) 20:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Firstly, in line with the other PD tags, please change the image size to 40px. Also, why does this template have "subject to disclaimers" in it? ViperSnake151 16:43, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Question::  It seems that some of the other PD templates also use a 52px image, especially ones of this size.  Is this just inconsistency that has yet to be corrected, or are both used?  --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 19:42, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

text: I brought up the disclaimers over 2 years ago both above on this talk page, and on the relevant policy discussion page and there appears to be no reason for it being here. As there's no objections I'm going to remove it. (You've had two years, people) —Pengo 23:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Done, mostly.  Pengo removed the disclaimer, but it seems like the image is just fine at 52px as is, by which I mean it fits and generally looks good.  Cheers.  --lifebaka (talk - contribs) 19:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

In between the }} and the noinclude tag. This will help with tracking how many free files are currently on Wikipedia, and has already been done on most of the PD tags. It actually looks like it was added, but then removed when the template was converted to use imbox format, presumably by accident. Thanks! –Drilnoth (T • C) 02:09, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

message: In the sandbox version, I've made a minor tweak, to supress the categorisation as 'free media' where the image is not suitable for commons, typically because it's a non-free subject. 
It would be appreciated if the sandbox version could be reviewed and the change implemented into the main template.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:38, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Free images of Non-free Subjects 

message: Hello,
I propose that the two instances of "creator" should be changed to "author" in this template. My reason for this proposal is that "creator" implies something from nothingartists are obviously influenced by what came before (and by other things), so "author" is a more accurate and fair word to use. Please let me know if you agree or disagree with this change. Thanks, DesertPipeline (talk) 04:58, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changing "creator" to "author" 

message: The Creative Commons public domain mark in this template needs to be changed to a CC zero waiver/licence logo (CC0). The definition of CC0 is "a tool for relinquishing copyright and releasing material into the public domain". The Public Domain Mark isn't appropriate because it's a tool for labelling works already in the public domain. Anyone opposed to my changing it? SCHolar44 (talk) 03:51, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: User:SCHolar44: Works in question using this template are just being made public domain (which is possible without CC0), not being licenced under CC0. Or am I misunderstanding? Regards, DesertPipeline (talk) 06:56, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
