Descriptions

Image licenses

All images on Wikia must be free to use under an appropriate license or used under Fair Use. This page will help you figure out which license tag to use, and how to tag your images. Most images you find on the web or in a Google image search are not free to use, even if you don't see any copyright information with them! If you do not know who created an image and what license it is under, you cannot use it.

Please tag images on their image description page (for example this is the description page for Example.jpg) with one of the tags below so we can keep track of its status.

Try to provide as much detail as possible:

• When marking an image as one of the less specific categories (such as Copyrighted Free Use), try to specify somewhere what the actual license or other permission states.
• If you tag an image as requiring attribution, please specify who needs to be attributed! Note that the GFDL requires attribution.
• If multiple categories apply to an image, add all that apply.

Each tag should be put on a line of its own.

Image Modifications

We have a few image modification tag that you can use as well.

These tags are NOT listed in the drop-down menu, when you upload an image. They must be added manually to the image. These tags give credit to the program or web location that you used to modify the image, as well of a brief summary of how you modified the image.

Please note:

Not all image license allow for you to modify their images. Please pay attention to the image licenses before you modify the image and place it on this wiki.

License tag options

Licenses with at * is how it license text will look like, in the drop-down list that go along with the selections, when uploading files to WikIkariam.

Not selecting any license

If you do not select a license when you upload the image, will automatically place the following license on the image:

{{No license}} - By not selecting a license

Image license This file does not have any information on its copyright status. Unless a copyright status or license is provided, this image may be deleted.

Note:

This will place the Images into the following:

1. [[Category:Images]]
2. [[Category:Unknown license]]
3. [[Category:Possible copyright violations]]
4. [[Category:Possible trademark violations]]

So please try to know which license will apply when possible!

Unknown:

{{No license}}* - I do not know the license

Image license This file does not have any information on its copyright status. Unless a copyright status or license is provided, this image may be deleted.

Note:

This will place the Images into the following:

1. [[Category:Images]]
2. [[Category:Unknown license]]
3. [[Category:Possible copyright violations]]
4. [[Category:Possible trademark violations]]

So please try to know which license will apply when possible!

Free licenses:

Be as specific as possible about which version of the license the image is used under. You may want to make more specific templates for your wiki later.

GNU licenses:

GFDL

The GNU Free Documentation License (GNU FDL or simply GFDL) is a copyleft license for free documentation, designed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) for the GNU Project. It is similar to the GNU General Public License, giving readers the rights to copy, redistribute, and modify a work and requires all copies and derivatives to be available under the same license. Copies may also be sold commercially, but, if produced in larger quantities (greater than 100), the original document or source code must be made available to the work's recipient.

The GFDL was designed for manuals, textbooks, other reference and instructional materials, and documentation which often accompanies GNU software. However, it can be used for any text-based work, regardless of subject matter. For example, the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia used to use the GFDL for all of its text.

{{GFDL}}* - This is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License

Image license This file is licensed under the GFDL. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this image under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.

Note:

This template will place the images into the following: Category:Images and Category:GFDL

GNU General Public License:

GGPL

The GNU General Public License (GNU GPL or simply GPL) is the most widely used free software license, originally written by Richard Stallman for the GNU project.

The GPL is the first copyleft license for general use, which means that derived works can only be distributed under the same license terms. Under this philosophy, the GPL grants the recipients of a computer program the rights of the free software definition and uses copyleft to ensure the freedoms are preserved, even when the work is changed or added to. This is in distinction to permissive free software licenses, of which the BSD licenses are the standard examples.

{{GGPL}}* - This is licensed under the GPL

Image license This file can be redistributed and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation. This work is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.

Note:

FAL

The Free Art license is the English language version of the Licence Art Libre, a French Copyleft license for works of art. Created in July 2000, it is the first free license, in the spirit of the GNU General Public License, dedicated to works of art.

The Free Art license authorizes the user to freely copy, spread, and transform creative works while respecting the author's rights

{{FAL}}* - Free Arts License

Unsuitable

If you do not know the copyright status, do not upload the image! Non-free Creative Commons licenses are also not permitted. This includes images which do not allow non-commercial use or derivative works (NC and ND licenses), since these are non-free. The Sampling+ license is also not free.

Wikipedia has a range of tags explaining why an image is unsuitable. For Wikia with complex deletion procedures, you may want to consider adding such tags for the period of deletion discussion. For other wikis, you may find it more appropriate to delete the image, or tag it specifically with a {{Delete}} template.

Examples of such tags on Wikipedia include {{Unverified}}, {{Unknown}}, and {{Copyrighted}}.

{{Copyrighted}}

Possible Copyright Infringement

The previous content of this page appears to infringe on the copyright of the text from the source(s) below: {{{url}}} Do not edit this page until an administrator has resolved this issue. To write a new article without infringing material, follow this link to a temporary subpage. State that you have done so on this article's discussion page. Note that simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be clearly identified and the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. An administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. If you hold the copyright to this text and permit its use under terms consistent with Wikia's terms of use: Explain this on this article's discussion page, then either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to copyright@wikia.com. Please include "Claim of copyright infringement" in the subject of your email or you may send a postal letter to: Michael Davis Wikia, Inc. 200 2nd Ave. South #306 St. Petersburg, FL 33701-4313 These messages must explicitly permit use under the GNU Free Documentation License and the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 license. Note: Articles on Wikia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; copyright issues aside, your text may not be appropriate for inclusion in Wikia. If this text is in the public domain, or is already under a license suitable for Wikia: Explain this on this article's discussion page, with reference to evidence. Unless the copyright status of the text on this page is clarified, it will be deleted one week after the time of its listing.

Posting copyrighted material without the express permission of the copyright holder is a violation of applicable law and of Wikia Licensing. If you have questions about copyright, see Copyright FAQ. Those who repeatedly post copyrighted material will be blocked from further editing. Temporarily, the original posting is still accessible for viewing in the page history. You are welcome to submit original contributions.

On WikIkariam, you might want to tag images with {{No license}} until licensing issues can be resolved.

Rationale

1. What's "fair use" in one country may not be "fair use" in another country; this allows people creating derivative works in other countries to extract images which aren't legal in their country.
2. It is harder to create decent images than decent text, so the temptation to break copyright is bigger, so we like to be a bit more vigilant. For this very reason, sub-licensees of Wikia are going to be especially concerned about images, particularly for printed versions.
3. Secondly, it's easy to rewrite text that turns out to be copyrighted, but harder (though possible) to do the same for images.
4. It is good practice to cite our sources, where we've (legally) copied images from elsewhere. If we give due credit, we're more likely to get permission (and some licenses require due credit anyway).
5. Where Wikians have created the images, they should have a bit of fame! Putting some text on the image description page that they took it themselves, and they license it under the GFDL, is a good way to do that.

Creating new tags or sub-categories

Try to use the tags already available at Wikipedia. This makes it easier for people who want to re-use content from both sites.

1. First create the template, for example, Template:Asdf. This can be a quick draft version of a public domain notice, for example.
2. Categorize that template to [[Category:Images]] and [[Category:Asdf images]].
3. Edit this category to put a description.
4. Add the template tag {{Asdf|<doc=>}} in this category edit.
5. Categorize this category to [[Category:Licensed images]].

Done. All you need to do is just tag your uploaded images with {{Asdf}}. All those images will be in the '''Category:Asdf images''' which in turn would be a sub-category of [[Category:Licensed images]].

Categories

Each image license and modification tag such as {{Fairuse}} corresponds to a category. Placing such a tag on an image will automatically put it into that category, because that template should belongs to that category.
