| ''You can '' | |||
| Now, a question. On the speedy delete page for graphics, I'm finding some graphics that are in non-replace fair use but are tagged for speedy deletion because their license is Misplaced Pages-only. Yet if they were just straight-out copyrighted and used without permission (for fair use, and if non-replacable) they would not be speedied. This seems odd. What's one to do in a case like this - delete it nonetheless, change the tag, or what? Thanks, ] 19:20, 18 November 2006 (UTC) | |||
| *discuss on the ] how the project should be developed | |||
| :Good question. A Misplaced Pages-only license (or a non-commercial license, for that matter) should be treated exactly the same as a fair use claim. Images should not be speedied if a good "fair use" claim could be made. Instead they should have a {{tl|fairusein}} tag added, and a fair use rationale. However, if the image would obviously not pass our fair-use policy (like a map or a drawing that could be remade), then there's no point in making a fair use claim. In general, a mistagged image shouldn't be deleted (but retagged instead) if it could pass under a different tag. Thanks for helping out! – ] <sup>(]) (])</sup> 23:03, 18 November 2006 (UTC) | |||

| By the way, not to have copyright paranoia, but does having copyrighted logos on the car pictured in ] invalidate its public domain designation added by the photo creator? | |||
| </blockquote> | |||
| Please feel free to subscribe at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-genealogy | |||
| Perhaps it is not a problem, as I see there are many images, like ], that are billed as free to use. But it appears any image with so much as an ] of the Misplaced Pages logo gets a {{t1|CopyrightByWikimedia}} template. So, I'm not entirely sure. -- ''']''' 02:54, 24 November 2006 (UTC) | |||
| '''Future''': | |||
| :Good question, and one I have an answer for. There are two issues here. One is that logos generally aren't copyrightable; they are trademarked instead, and trademark law is a separate bit of law than copyright law. (Some logos are copyrighted as well, but most aren't.) Anyway, Misplaced Pages seems to treat trademarked images the same as copyrighted images, so let's pretend the logos are copyrighted. | |||
| *Discuss the next step, the creation of a meta ], list yourself as ] and ] should be used for the user group. | |||
| :So lets say there is some copyrighted material whose copyright is held by Person X. And let's say you take a photo of a scene that includes this material. You hold the copyright to that photo, not Person X; but since Person X holds the copyright to the material, you can't reproduce your own work without Person X's permission (or without making a fair use claim.) You see, your photo is both an original work (which makes it copyrightable by you), and a derivative work (which is why you can't reproduce it freely). If you were to, say, take a photo of each page of the latest Harry Potter book and try to publish them as a bunch of your own photographs, you would get sued. You would own the copyright to the photos, but that wouldn't matter; you would still be publishing derivative works of copyrighted material. | |||
| *in case you haven't read ] take a look | |||
| :In the case of the Snickers photo, for instance, however, the author (]) could presumably defend the use of the copyrighted wrapper as a fair use. That would be SCEhardt making a fair use claim, not Misplaced Pages. The photo itself is public domain, since the author released it as such. Misplaced Pages only needs to be concerned with the copyright status of the photo itself (which is PD), and not the status of the material in the photograph, unless there's reason to suspect that the photographer's fair use claim would fail. | |||
| *support that project with ]. | |||
| :Now, why does the Wikimedia Foundation claim copyright on derivative images of its logo? Well, legally, this is just a good idea on their part, even if it isn't necessarily accurate. If someone could show, in court, that Wikimedia was not aggressively defending their trademark, they could lose their trademark. (That's one way that trademark law differs from copyright law.) Even though you would hold the copyright to an image you create that reused a logo, and even though typefaces (such as enes) are not copyrightable at all, it's still important for their legal position for them to do everything possible to discourage violation of their trademarks. | |||
| :I hope this rambling answer was helpful. – ] <sup>(]) (])</sup> 05:38, 24 November 2006 (UTC) | |||

Dear members of WikiProject Genealogy, this will be the last newsletter for 2017, but maybe the most important one! You can already now try out the demo for a genealogy wiki at https://tools.wmflabs.org/genealogy/Main_Page and try out the functions. You will find parts of the 18th Pharao dynasty and other records submitted by the 7 first users, and it would be great if you would add some records. And with those great news we want to wish you a creative New Year 2018!
