Topic on User talk:Mrkelangelo

Thank you for all the contributions you've made since joining the wiki! However, we need to point something out about your recent upload of the file Deku.png: It's missing a lot of information we are legally required or request as terribly useful. The most important of these is the license terms under which we can use the image. Please see the page All The Tropes:Uploading and Adding an Image to a Page, particularly the section "Licensing".

We really need you to provide at the very least the licensing information for this image. URLs to where it came from would be great, too, in case we have another instance where we lose images like has happened to us once before.

Can you please take care of this in the next 48 hours or so? (Say, by noon EDT on 20 June?) If you don't we'll have to delete the image to protect the wiki from legal liability.

Thank you!

Here's what I could find.

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. However, it is believed that the use of this work:

To illustrate the object in question. Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information. On My Hero Academia Wiki, hosted on servers in the United States by Wikia, Inc. (fandom.com) ...qualifies as Fair Use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement.

To the uploader: This tag is a claim. Only the original creator is the owner. This image is used for demonstration/information/entertainment NOT:

Is it possible to edit the licensing information on the uploaded photo? If so, how do I do that?

Cool -- It's a Wikia/Fandom.com image. That's not bad -- Fandom uses the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License 3.0 (Unported) (CC-BY-SA) license, which is nicely compatible with us. If you haven't already done so as I type this, head over the file's page and add {{CC-BY-SA}} to the licensing section, add the text you pasted above plus URL of the file to the description, and just to round things out, throw in the category for My Hero Academia. Legally, all we need is the license terms, but the source info helps with that as well as letting us re-acquire the image if something happens to our copy.

Heh, crossed signals. Just edit the page and add something that looks like this:

== Summary ==

((where you got the image, the license text you put above))

== Licensing ==

{{CC-BY-SA}}

[[Category:My Hero Academia]]

Thank you! Done and done. ;) Glad we got that sorted out.

Me, too.

Hello! I see that you've just uploaded File:Tenya Iida hero profile.png. There's a slight problem - while the wikia where you got the image is CC-BY-SA, the image itself is not.

On wikia/fandom, you can see the license that they're using the image under if you hover your cursor over the filename in the popout window. In this case, it's a copyrighted image being used under fair use provisions of copyright law.

I've fixed that for you already...

Thank you! Good to know everything is okay.

Whoops, sorry for the bad/incomplete advice there.

Actually, I'm the one at fault for assuming all images there are CC-BY-SA.
