WikiQueer:Possibly unfree files

This page is for listing and discussing files that are marked as available under a free license or public domain, but have disputed source or licensing information. Files are listed here for 14 days before they are processed. Files that are tagged with a non-free template should not be listed here.

To list texts with copyright issues, please use WQ:Copyright problems.

Instructions

Before listing, remember that files which are already marked unfree and used under fair use should not be listed here.

To list an file on this page:

I	Edit the file page. Add {{puf|date=22 May 2013}} to the file page. If the file is in use, also add {{pufc|File_name.ext|date=22 May 2013}} to the caption(s).
II	Create its PUF subsection. Follow this edit link and list the file using {{subst:puf2|image=File_name.ext|reason=reason}} ~~~~ (remember to exclude the File: prefix).
III	Give due notice. Inform the uploader by adding a message to their talk page using {{subst:fdw-puf|File_name.ext}} ~~~~ Remember to replace "File_name.ext" with the name of the file

Unlike WikiQueer:Files for deletion the primary purpose of this page is to ascertain the source and/or copyright status of a file. Therefore it is not specifically a vote to keep or delete but a forum for the exploration of the copyright status/source of a file and contributions should not be added solely in those terms.

Listings should be processed by an administrator after being listed for 14 days. Files that are accepted following this fourteen-day period should have {{oldpuffull}} added to the file talk page. If no objection to the file's deletion is raised, or no proof that the file is indeed free is provided, the file may be deleted without further notice after the 14-day period.

Note: Files can be unlisted immediately if they are indisputably in the public domain or verifiably licensed under an indisputably free license (GFDL, CC-BY-SA, etc.—see WikiQueer:File copyright tags for more on these).

Speedy deletion

Blatant copyright violations or files missing source or license information may be "speedied"

If a file is unquestionably copied from another website and no assertion of permission or fair use is made, the file may be speedy deleted under criterion F9 (formerly I9). Such files do not need to be listed here. Please tag the file with {{subst:db-f9|url=source URL}} and warn the user with {{Nothanks-sd}}.

If a file is missing source, evidence of permission, or license information, place either use:

• {{subst:nsd}} for no source
• {{subst:nld}} for no license

or

• {{subst:npd}} for No evidence of permission

on the description page to put the file in the appropriate category. After being tagged for 7 days, the file will be eligible for speedy deletion per criterion 4 or criterion 11 for images/media.

Please also notify the uploader so they get a chance to fix the problem(s). The templates {{subst:File source|File:file name}} and {{image copyright}} are made for this purpose, but feel free to write a message of your own. It is not necessary to warn the uploader about every individual file if they have uploaded several of such files, but at least one message telling them that files without source/license will be deleted should be given to each user.

If a file is indisputably non-free, and its possible use can comply with our non-free content policy, be bold and retag it as a non-free file with an appropriate tag instead of taking it to this page.

Please note that this page is not for disputing the fair use of already non-free media, but for the disputing if a freely licensed file really is free. Please take queries of this nature to Files for deletion or Non-free content review

Holding cell

These files have been listed for at least 14 days. Files that have been determined to be acceptable may be removed from this page.

Today is May 22 2013. Put new nominations in WikiQueer:Possibly unfree files/2013 May 22 -- This page doesn't exist yet, please create it.

If the current date's page has been started without the header, apply {{subst:puf log}} to the top of the day's page.

Please ensure "===May 22===" is at the very top of the new page so that internal page links from the main Possibly unfree files page (the one you're on now) work.
