Was this image scanned? From where?Kww (talk) 20:13, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

No It was not!

What sort of job do you have that allows you access to celebrities in order to photograph them?Kww (talk) 03:45, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

It's pictures I find on a website. Then I make the picture out of a graphic, I just think my picture look better than the current one. And the one I recently had was not a scan, and I'm putting it back!

That's what I thought. Thanks for being honest and admitting it. That violates WP:IUP. I'll take care of having the image deleted for you. If you continue to download pictures from websites and upload them to Wikipedia, you will be blocked. If you continue to insert copyrighted images into Wikipedia articles like Rihanna, you will get blocked. Please take the time to read WP:IUP, and please comply with it. If you have any questions about what it means, then please feel free to ask. We're always glad to have editors, but copyright violations are not tolerated.Kww (talk) 03:51, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

How am I violating something, when it is entirely my own work!

You are basing your work on an image that you downloaded from a website that you found. That makes it a derivative work. The owner of the original picture keeps his copyright. You have a copyright on whatever changes you made, but the owner of the original picture maintains his copyright as well. Basically, you cannot download pictures from websites and upload them to Wikipedia, and you can't download pictures from websites, change them, and then upload the changed picture, either.Kww (talk) 04:05, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

The pictures I took are from a webiste with no copyright. They made a statement officially allowing the pictures they have for free use. What does it matter anyway I really don't care, I'm just a teen wanting to become a graphic designer. Who knew people was this CRAZY.

If they actually own the pictures, there are ways to do what you want to do. What's the site? I'll look at it, and I'll help you if I can.Kww (talk) 22:56, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Ultimate-Rihanna.com

I don't see that they guarantee that they have ownership. The closest I can find is a statement that says No copyright infringement intended. They allow fans to upload images, and they allow fans to download images, but I don't see that they verify that the fans own the images that they upload. Is there a stronger statement somewhere that you know about?

Also, it would make things a little easier if you ended your comment on talk pages with ~~~~. That way, your comments will get signed and dated. It makes it easier to sort out what you say from what I say.Kww (talk) 03:43, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

No I'm not sure, Like I said I'm just a teen.Forever Kenny (talk) 19:17, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

No problem with being a teen, or wanting to be a graphic designer, either. My daughter was a teen, and is getting her Masters in graphic design this year. I know that we seem very picky about copyrights, but it is important. Think: when you are trying to make a living as a graphic designer, won't you want people to pay you for your work? The same policies that keep you from borrowing other peoples photos without paying for them are the same policies that will help make sure that people pay you for your work.Kww (talk) 19:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

So before I upload the pictures I design Give the person credit. But to whom?Forever Kenny (talk) 19:23, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I missed this comment, so I didn't answer it before. Sorry. You have to get his permission, in writing, before you upload the image. It isn't enought to give him credit. You have to get written permission. I've undone your edits again.Kww (talk) 04:13, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Well okForever Kenny (talk)

Can you please change the picture to a more recent one Forever Kenny (talk)

No one with a more recent picture has ever given us permission.Kww (talk) 12:43, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Kenneth Motley

A tag has been placed on Kenneth Motley requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ZooFari 04:35, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
