Hello, FALIQ! Welcome to Wikivoyage.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Project:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 06:17, 18 February 2010 (EST)
- Thanks for your edits to Genting. Do you own the Genting images that you have uploaded? I ask ask everyone of them seems to have been copied from http://www.rwgenting.com/. That is a clear copyright violation unless you own the rights to those images. If you do, I suspect we will need to see some proof of that. Please clarify as soon as possible. Thanks. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 06:17, 18 February 2010 (EST)
- Please cease adding any more images until you have read and answered this this message. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 06:24, 18 February 2010 (EST)
- Also please go easy on the sanitised marketing speak, and do not delete existing traveler descriptions of the destination. The article is beginning to read a bit like a Genting Highlands corporate brochure. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 07:15, 18 February 2010 (EST)
'The images is public release images for the media. So there is nothing wrong with it. Are you admin or something? I already contributed many pages before. It seems fine.'
- That is absolutely not correct. The images have been copied from a website where they are clearly copyrighted. There is no way they can comply with Wikivoyage's copyleft unless you own them or the owners have specifically released the images under a compliant Creative Commons licence. If you cannot provide those, then the images will I am afraid all be deleted. I see that you also uploaded a Kuala Lumpur image which is similarly a copyright violation, so please do read and understand the copyleft link I have provided above. Yes I am an adminsitrator but that is irrelevant as any Wikivoyage user could make these same points to you. Thanks very much. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 08:12, 18 February 2010 (EST)
- Sorry for the mistake. I have deleted the images. I will upload new images soon. What do I need to provide for the proof of the 'owners have specifically released the images'? 02:19, 19 February 2010 (EST)
- The copyright owner needs to have released the images under CC-BY-SA, either by notification on the web page, or by giving specific permission. All this is covered in the FAQ section of the link - copyleft - given above. --(WT-en) inas 21:28, 18 February 2010 (EST)
- No problem, these things happen and it is easy to be confused by copyright matters. If you want to find pictures that are Creative Commons compliant, the best sources are Flickr and Wikimedia Commons. Even there though is is important to check that the licences are compliant. I find the easiest way to do this is via a Google Advanced Image Search. Go to Google Images, click advanced search and select "labeled for commercial reuse with modification". All of the images returned should then be compatible with Wikivoyage copyleft. If you do that for Genting Highlands for example you will find a lot of images. Cheers. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 21:43, 18 February 2010 (EST)
