Are you a representative of the Minnesota Historical Society, as your user name would suggest? I'm just curious. I work on a lot of articles about properties in Minnesota on the National Register of Historic Places, so if the Minnesota Historical Society has material to contribute on those properties, or anything else related to the history of Minnesota, it would be much appreciated. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 18:03, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your uploads

[edit]

Good day. I see that you have uploaded a number of images to Wikipedia. First off, thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, there are some guidelines that we need to follow with copyrighted images. Specifically, you need to add a source for the image (a link to a website will do), a copyright tag (there are some listed at WP:ICT), and a rationale explaining why we can use a copyrighted image (explained at WP:NFURG). I see that your images fail to include one of these. Please stop uploading images and address the concerns listed above. If you need assistance, you can ask at the help desk. If you do not fix these images, and you continue to make bad uploads, you will be blocked and your images will be deleted. Thanks for your contributions!

Bot messages

[edit]

It looks like an image copyright notification bot exploded on your talk page. If you'd like some help to resolve these issues, you can respond here. I am not a bot; I am an administrator who noticed your edits because I work on many Minnesota articles. Jonathunder (talk) 20:02, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I really appreciate what you are trying to do in making the artwork of the Minnesota State Capitol widely available. However, there may well be some copyright problems with these uploads. Works created for the United States Government, such as official portraits of federal officials, are generally in the public domain. The same is not generally true for state portraits. The copyright holders on these portraits are most likely the individual artists, or perhaps the state of Minnesota. The photographs are derivative works of those portraits. So, we need to research who holds the copyright on those portraits.
Again, thanks for your work, and feel free to reply here. Jonathunder (talk) 17:53, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
One other point: generally, everything published in the U.S. before 1923 is in the public domain. So for our earliest governors, there will be less difficulty. Jonathunder (talk) 18:03, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am working with and "as" the Minnesota Historical Society on this. Specifically, I am in dialog with Diane L. Adams-Graf, Curator of Sound and Visual Collections and Brian Szott, Curator of Art for the Minnesota Historical Society. The Society, through the State of Minnesota, holds and manages the rights on the Governor's portraits. The Minnesota Historical Society would like to work more with Wikipedia on this because hopefully this is just the start of what we can offer. Sadly the rights on Governor's portraits cannot be released into the public domain (at least not very easily without some legislative action) even though there may be interest in that possibility. The Society however, does have the ability to release it on a educational license and hopefully to Wikipedia through their "Non-free use media rationale" since there are no free equivalent photos of these governors with the exception of Jesse Ventura (the only free photo of him is not of him during his governorship and thus should not be included in the Governor info box) and Wendell Anderson (the calm that it is Federal portrait is dubious since the photo is of him in the MN Governors office).
These are baby steps by the Society and the public significance of the Governors portraits made them easy candidates to convince others that they should go on Wikipedia. I have been working to add pre 1923 artwork of the governors and also of historically significant photos to Wikimedia Commons and to Wikipedia. We are looking at how we can use our images from our collection to fill gaps in knowledge and enhance Minnesota history on Wikipedia.
I have helped to create and am managing the Society's own public wiki Placeography.org and have an appreciation for what a nightmare it is to deal with rights on a wiki and Wikipedia's is far more advanced than Placegraphy's. Any help/advice/advocacy by talented and knowledgable Wikipedian's would be welcome on the MN Governor's portrait issue.

I'm probably going to be quite busy offline the next few days, but I will get back to you with some suggestions next week. Cheers. Jonathunder (talk) 21:42, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I left a question at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions#Minnesota Historical Society images to see if people could figure out the copyright situation. It seems like it should be straightforward: if the Minnesota Historical Society is willing to upload images to which they have copyright, and they're willing to do so under the standard non-free content criterion, then Wikipedia should be able to accept them. I'm also going to leave a request to the owner of that bot, ST47 (talk · contribs). --Elkman (Elkspeak) 22:35, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I asked ST47 (talk · contribs) about the warning messages and the templating. He said that it was a bug in his code, where he didn't expect the copyright tag to take up more than one line, so he fixed it. So, in other words, it appears that there are no copyright problems, just an image tagging bot that didn't realize that you were doing something OK. Everything should be just fine now. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 23:33, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Elkman, thank you for the checking into this and your assistance. I also, corrected the Non-free use rationale omission that Calliopejen1 mentioned. --Mnhs (talk) 07:29, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:HaroldStassenOfficialOil.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:HaroldStassenOfficialOil.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. 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. Hekerui (talk) 00:27, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Minnesota Historical Society, through the State of Minnesota, holds and manages the rights on the Governor's portraits. The licensing was changed from Non-free media to public domain after the copyright was reviewed and it was deemed that the copyright was not renewed. Mnhs (talk) 05:48, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 14:21, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:HaroldLevanderOfficialOil.jpg

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:HaroldLevanderOfficialOil.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
