Wikipedia talk:File copyright tags/Non-free

Is there a template for this? The journals are copyrighted, so will stating the source of the image i.e. citing the research paper and the journal, sort out the issue? Should I use the 2D Non-Free ART template also? Gauravm1312 22:20, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on the map. --Carnildo 07:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ok, ill give you an explicit example: I am into making U-boat articles. The cartograph in question shows in rough detail the point of sinkage of the ship in question. Now can you help? Anonymous Dissident 10:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Unless the copyright on the map has expired, you can't use it on Wikipedia. Get a suitable blank map (Commons has plenty) and make your own. --Carnildo 20:35, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...that is a postcard included with the DVD release of a film, in this case Image:Highlander.jpg ? It doesn't seem to fall under the Non-free promotional template. It's not a screenshot either, the actor has posed for it. Thanks Rosenknospe 10:34, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• {{Free promotional}}—for an image freely provided, with no copyright, to be used for any editorial purpose

If such an image is indeed free, it should be covered by one of the existing free license or public domain tags located at

I don't know if I'm in the right place, so please redirect me if I am, but I was curiuos as to where this second image on this page (the one of the glove) would fall? I didn't know if it was a non-free image or free image, given that it appears to be an evidence photo by the Leicestershire Police.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 19:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As you know, redirects from different namespaces on Templates, can cause really odd behaviour. I have changed the Non-free screenshot tag to be a copyright tag just like everyone else, but with the addition of a prominent notice saying that the Non-free screenshot tag is not sufficient enough and should be replaced by a more specific one (followed by the list of the templates from this article). I did this so I wouldn't accidentally transclude an entire page when generically using Non-free screenshot. ViperSnake151 14:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Such as buttons, banners, bumper stickers, t-shirts, etc., if the article is about a political campaign and the material was widely distributed? Is this material considered fair use or non-free? What kind of licensing is needed to use this in an article? --Moni3 (talk) 18:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These rules do not appear to relate to the provisions for UK copyright under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, nor to the guidance published by HMSO/TSO. See

• {{Non-free currency}}—for images of the official currency of a country that may be copyrighted.

Is there any reason why this text limits the use of the template to " the official currency of a country"? There are various local currencies and even private currencies. I'm not sure why this rationale would not also apply to them.   Will Beback  talk  00:51, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There don't appear to be any tags here to cover reproduction of non-free graphs from the New England Journal of Medicine. But I can't believe this sort of thing hasn't happenned many times before.Jwray (talk) 08:39, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The NEJM is probably like most other scientific journals: reproduction of article or any part, including illustrations (graphs, etc.), requires permission of the publisher. One way around this is to contact the author(s) directly, who often supplied the included images. I have found that many authors are very willing to supply illustrations. The hardest part is often just getting a suitably formulated permission to send to OTRS. - J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:06, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What tag would I use for art works that are not 2D

@Lady Rose MacClare: {{Non-free 3D art}}. Let me add that to the page in a sec. pandakekok9 (talk) 13:21, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
