Malaysiancopyright

Hi Shahirshamsir. I noticed you created {{Malaysiancopyright}}, and uploaded four images that have this tag. I don't understand the point of this tag; it basically says we can't use the images at all, and they have to be deleted. Two of the images that have this tag are photographs---did you take them? dbenbenn | talk 21:47, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi there. About the copyright thing, I meant to indicate that the images are sourced from within Malaysia. The photos are taken by friends who has given permission. Could you suggest a better copyright tag? I will gladly correct the tags.shahir 05:12, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just ask your friends to release the photos under the GFDL, then write on the image description page something like

My friend NAME took this picture and releases it under the GFDL. {{GFDL}}

Malaysian copyright

Hi, I noticed you uploaded two images, Image:RoyalMalaysian Airforce crest.gif and Image:Mountledang ophir in Malaysia.JPG, with the {{Malaysiancopyright}} tag. The problem is, copyrighted images cannot be used in Wikipedia except under a claim of fair use. Please see Wikipedia:Fair use to determine whether these images can be used under a fair use rationale, and if so, please add the correct tag as well as a fair use rationale to the image description page. Thanks! Angr (t • c) 20:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
