image copyright problem re image zeorin jpg thanks for uploading image zeorin jpg the wikimedia foundation is very careful about the images included in wikipedia because of copyright law we need you to specify two things on the image description page the copyright holder and the copyright status the copyright holder is usually the creator if the creator was paid to make this image then their employer may be the copyright holder if several people collaborated then there may be more than one copyright holder if you created this image then you are the copyright holder because of the large number of images on wikipedia we've sorted them using image copyright tags just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image and paste it onto the image description page like this taghere there are basic ways to licence an image on wikipedia an open content licence public domain fair use the copyright holder gets the best protection of their work by licencing it under an open content license such as the creative commons attribution sharealike licence if you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence use the image copyright tag the gnu free documentation license is another option again if you have the express permission of the copyright holder use the tag the copyright holder can also release their work into the public domain see here for examples images from certain sources are automatically released into the public domain this is true for the united states where the wikimedia servers are located see here for images from the government of the usa and here for other governments however not all governments release their work into the public domain one exception is the uk see here for images from the uk government non free licence governments are listed here also in some cases an image is copyrighted but allowed on wikipedia because of fair use to see a if this image qualifies and b if so how to tag it see wikipedia fair use for more information see wikipedia image copyright tags please remember that untagged images are likely to be deleted if you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags please go back and tag them also please tag all images that you upload in the future if you have any questions just leave a message on my talk page thanks again
