==Revisions== Hi [[User:Notjusttired|Njt]], I copied your message from [[MediaWiki talk:Copyrightwarning]] here so we could incorporate your input: :There should be a "unless others noted" exception here. We have a significant amount of images either with no license set (mostly through fair use but some might have been uploaded without permission eg from tweets or clipart websites) - plus there's some images under a Non-commercial license from research, plus some public domain images etc. I do this this message could be helpful in pointing editors at what is / is not a reliable source and/or the Manual of Style - which a new anonymous editor recently missed and wanted to rename a page without following that. - [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 14:59, 16 April 2019 (EDT) ::A few thoughts/questions: ::*I added the Science guidelines, Editorial guidelines and MOS as "See also", so perhaps that will help people find it more easily, while still keeping this page as succinct as possible. ::*I'm not sure I totally understand what you mean about an "unless others noted" exception, do you mind explaining a little more? ::*For non-commercial licenses in particular: my understanding is that any commercial restrictions means a license does not satisfy CC-BY-SA and material that is only licensed that way should probably be removed? The issue as I understand it is that the CC license specifically allows everything to be used even commercially, so anything that has restrictions on its commercial re-use can't be incorporated as CC content (which all of MEpedia is). But this isn't my specialty, do you (or others) have different info? ::[[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 16:23, 16 April 2019 (EDT) :::Hi [[User:Canele]] - Thanks for that. I've only just seen this reply. With licenses, a number of different science articles have been published under Creative Commons 'Non-commercial' or 'No-derivatives' licenses - the license terms say they are totally free to upload, share and reuse but with the extra condition of Non-commercial use and/or only if unmodified (we rarely modify images here abreast). Non-commercial is explained as including charity/non-profit or educational use - so there's no issue with reuse here - but if someone later decided to package the website into an eBook/wikibook and charge for it that would be an issue for those images. It also means that anyone wanting to use them for a different website linked to a business, eg a physio's website or a doctor, or in a paid-for training manual that wouldn't be allowed. We also need to specify on those images what the different license is, eg in the caption plus we already do on the file description page. "No-derivatives" just means don't re-color, use within an image, add your website name, remove or change any part of it. If you click on one of the images with these licenses you can follow the link to the Creative Commons license for more explanation. There's also a small number of "fair usage" images, eg where alternatives wouldn't be possible to find and where only a small part of the original book / article etc is used. This is also a known use for things like book covers on pages where the book is described (not not for other uses). Images of scientists from their websites might also count as fair usage. :::So just a note on the image and in the caption where it's used in a page can indicate the "exception" for unusual licenses. I hope that explains more. #MEAction / [[User:JaimeS]] have not yet approved this page so things may yet change - if that happens we can simply use license categories to identify the files to remove.
