Ohio Department of Transportation images

I've noticed that you tagged a couple of images produced by the ODOT as being {{

NoRightsReserved}}, however, unless you created the images yourself, you don't have the right to relicense them and they're likely to be deleted. They probably qualify as fair use, but you need to specify such and use a proper tag. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 12:57, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply

Deleted image

It didn't appear that the explicit permission was to allow "anyone" to use the image, and not just Wikipedia. And also, I did not delete the image, another administrator deleted it. Perhaps you can explain to me more about this explicit permission. If it really does apply to all images from the Ohio Department of Transportation, I could create a new template for that case.Peter O. (Talk) 04:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Cota_bus.jpg

The source - [1] - says "To download, reproduce, use and/or distribute these images for commercial use – other than news reporting –you must request permission from COTA in writing." This is not "no rights reserved"; it is not an acceptable license for Wikipedia. --NE2 14:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop or you will be blocked. Wikipedia does not accept non-commercial licenses; see [2]. Thank you. --NE2 17:43, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me, but I believe I made it clear that I DO have permission from COTA for this image to be freely distributed and edited by any person, as long as I attributed the author, which I did. If you have an issue with this, feel free to contact COTA. The e-mail address is on the website. Stop changing the image before you verify this information. Thank You. --Polypmaster 18:09, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

In case you had not realised it, uploading images with false or misleading copyright and licensing information places the project in legal jeopardy. Look at all the notices above - you have not responded to a single one, but you have reverted edits to the image pages noting problems of image licensing. You are now blocked form editing and will remain so until such time as you begin to address the problem. Guy (Help!) 11:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, but I believe I have addressed all possible legal issues for my uploaded images. I did not reply to most of the problems because I did realize I had to. I added the proper licensing tags and source info as far as I can tell. If there are some issues remaining I am confused, because unless I have to show you an exact copy of every email I have verifying the license for the images, I have provided enough information. I thank you for blocking me without looking at the images. If you are going to spend the time to block me, why don't you verify the current status of the images. And for your information, there would not be these lingering legal issues if your website provided simple and concise information on such issues. I understand the setup of the articles, but it took me an hour to find the proper license, as the pop-up list does not include all licenses. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon.
The popup list does not include the licenses that apply to these images because those licenses are not allowed on Wikipedia. An image needs to be acceptable for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere, including in for-profit publications. --NE2 18:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Attribution as far as i can tell covers everything including for-profit. I do not understand how it doesnt.
However, "attribution" is not the license these images are released under. The source for Image:Cota bus.jpg says "To download, reproduce, use and/or distribute these images for commercial use – other than news reporting –you must request permission from COTA in writing." --NE2 19:58, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
DUDE! I am aware of that. That is why I e-mailed COTA regarding the situation. I got permission from them prior to uploading it. I am sorry I did not have the proper license marked originally, but I always had permission from COTA. I made that clear in my image summary. You should have read the source info before repeatedly reverting the image.
What was the permission for? Does it include other for-profit organizations using it? Wikipedia-only permission is not enough. --NE2 11:34, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is permission for any use by any non or for-profit oganizations or any other person, as long as image is attributed to COTA. The license is for http://www.cota.com/images/photo_library/buses/fixed_route_sm.jpg only. As I said, I do in fact have permission, as I do for all the images I uploaded. I appologize for the problems, but it is very difficult to navigate and find the proper licensing info on Wikipedia. Attribution is not in the pop-up list, and I had to search around just to find it. I hope this clears everything up, and all of my images should have proper summary and licensing info. If I should provide more detailed info than I have currently on any of my uploaded images, please let me know.

<<unblock|All images should have proper licensing information now. While I always recieved proper permission for all images, I did not display proper licensing due to difficulty finding what the proper license should be.>>

Can you post the email you got to confirm that the permission is for any use? Thank you. --NE2 22:01, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is [email protected].
Not your email address, but the email you received from COTA. --NE2 03:04, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, here it is:

Ian,

You may use a picture. Please forward me the web site/web page that the image will be used for.

Thanks,

John

From: IAN FRANCIS [[email protected]] To: Palmer, John W. Subject: photgraph usage

I am a member of Wikipedia and I would like to use the image of your COTA bus for the COTA article. Because Wikipedia is a freely-edited website, the license for use on Wikipedia must include the possibility that the image could be edited or reproduced by any person, for-profit, or non-profit company. Please contact me with your decision. Thank you.

-Ian Francis [email protected]

I don't think Ian understood what you meant, since he specifically asked what page it would be used on. I'm going to ask on Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems; please allow others to weigh in. Thank you. --NE2 03:57, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have the remaining replies. This makes it more clear I believe:

Ian,

Yes, you may use the picture under the terms described in your original e-mail. I would like to be clear that this agreement applies only to the picture discussed, which I took to mean Fixed Route small. I appreciate you asking first.

Thanks,

John

I hope this is sufficient. If not, I can e-mail Mr. Palmer again, or just take my own picture of a COTA bus, which if this is insufficient, would be easier. Thanks.
That's probably fine; you should add that to either the image description page or the image talk page. --NE2 04:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Polypmaster. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under

fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:ColumbusOH.gif) was found at the following location: User:Polypmaster. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine.

WikiProject Ohio Newsletter



Issue II - May 2008
From the editor:

Here's Issue II of the project newsletter. We're trying to decide if this is sinking or floating. If you would like to contribute to next month's newsletter please jump right in at the News Desk! Have a great May.

The Ohio Portal

The maintainers of the

Ohio Portal
are looking to get it to featured status. They would like to ask all project members to help improve it any way they can. What needs to be done most is the supplying of selected articles and images.

Selected Article: Indian Head Rock

There is a eight ton rock in Ohio that was removed from the Ohio River. This rock is known as the Indian Head Rock Dating back to the early 1800’s, this rock was seen sticking out of the Ohio River and used as a navigational mark for barges along the river. The names of citizens from the town of Portsmouth, Ohio are carved into the rock from the late nineteenth a early twentieth centuries. Some of the names were of well known families from Ohio. They would swim out to the rock, have their picture taken with it or simply carve their names into it.
With the advent of the Locks and Dams along the Ohio River, the rock eventually was submerged, but the legend lived on. A gentleman from Ironton, Ohio located the rock after searching a very long time for it, and he and a crew of scuba divers recovered the rock and took it to the shore to be donated to Ohio for historical value.
After hearing the news about the rock being removed, Kentucky introduced legislation against the removal of the rock. They also want the diver who found it to be prosecuted for removing the rock. Kentucky owns the greatest part of the land the river runs on. Even the Army Corp. of Engineers got involved as to how to move the rock without damaging it. Kentucky wants to have it returned to the river.
