[edit] License tagging for Image:Mex-on-soyuz.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mex-on-soyuz.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Sorry about reverting you there, I hit the wrong thing! It doesn't look like that actually undid anything, but please feel free to undo that if you need. Seraphimblade Talk to me Please review me! 10:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] images
Images can only be used if they are released under the GFDL licence by the copyright owner. The images you posted either gave no copyright information, had a more restricted tag (eg use for wikipedia only), or did not make it clear that ESA had released these images under the GFDL or into the public domain.
If these really are free-use images for any purpose, you need to specify for each image the exact source and the source of the copyright owner's permission for GFDL/public domain use (or an appropriate tag for eg US government stuff, which is nearly always PD). hope this helps, jimfbleak 16:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

- I think the problem is the restriction to Wikipedia only, or to educational use. These tags are more restrictive than the GFDL licence, particularly the former. However, I can see that ESA is a difficult case - pity they haven't just made the stuff fully public domain like NASA. You state that other articles use ESA images, and if that is the case, I won't delete again if they are reposted. Sorry if I've caused you grief, since your edits were obviously in good faith. jimfbleak 14:18, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

- Trouble is that Wikipedia is hosted on US servers, so they're scared stiff of the legal consequences of releasing material as GFDL when the copyright owner hasn't specifically permitted that or PD. Material on Wikipedia can be used for any purpose, including advertising, as I understand it, as long as it fulfils the GFDL licence terms. The ESA permission reserves some very limited rights. From the discussion, either ESA or Wikipedia has to change its licensing policy, crazy when they are so close. These days, I only post my own images, out of copyright or US fed gov stuff because everything else is too complicated (I've had good faith uploads deleted too)

- I thought pdfs could only be external links, so difficult to see a problem there. jimfbleak 17:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mars Express X orbit 2a-new.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mars Express X orbit 2a-new.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
