Goodies, tips, and tricks
  • Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities.
  • You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads.
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~.
  • To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg.
  • You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account.
  • There are several tools to upload files.
  • Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful.
Made a mistake?
  • Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it.
  • Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

I simply replaced the outdated logos that were there. Why were those official logos allowed to be upload then? Those logos came from the same site, The university just outdated the files in 2019 and made them available for public use. We should offer the most updated information possible. That's all that I'm doing. Please explain why this user was able to upload the CMU seal from the brand standards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Carnegie_Mellon_University_seal.svg. The University of Pittsburgh has given permission to use (not modify) the logos and can be reached here 412-624-4147 | ucomm@pitt.edu. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richinstead (talk • contribs) 19:03, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The difference has to do with copyright law. Simple shapes like letters and typefaces are not copyrightable under US copyright law. Therefore wordmarks, such as the previous logos or "Pitt" are not copyrightable although they can serve as trademarks. The new logos with the crest rise to the level of copyright protection because the crest meets the threshold of originality because, to put it simply, it represents something other than a simple shape (see Copyright law in the US). Therefore, the university has to either release this image to the public domain (meaning give up all claims of copyright, which it will not do) or proper rationale must be ascribed for the use such copyrighted non-free media (see fair use). Proper rationale is not "the copyright owner says it is ok". The burden is on the uploader to justify the inclusion of non-free media, and how that should not jeopardize the policies (such as all material on Wikipedia is free) and legal standing of Wikipedia, not the other way around. See your own example of non-free rationale used for the CMU seal. Crazypaco (talk) 05:48, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Richinstead, the following content you uploaded violates one or more of our policies and therefore has been or will soon be deleted:

File:University-of-Pittsburgh-at-Greensburg.svg

The Wikimedia Commons (this website) only hosts media files with a realistic educational purpose and that can be used for any purpose, including:
  • use in any work, regardless of content
  • creation of derivative works
  • commercial use
  • free distribution

See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.

Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.
