Image:Pioneer club 05.jpg[edit]
Re Image:Pioneer club 05.jpg If you are not the photographer/creator of the original postcard, you cannot claim to be the creator of the image. The fact that you labeled an image from the 1940s with a date of "11/17/08" suggest that your information as to source and authorship is wrong as well. Please correct the information in the image description page. Did you scan this from an original postcard? If so, please give info on the photographer or publisher if it is on the card. Is there any copyright notice on the back of the card? Thanks. If you have any questions about Commons policies and practices you can't find an answer to, ask.

Image Tagging Image:1948 postcard.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:1948 postcard.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you. If you are not the artist who created the postcard, you cannot claim it is your own work. Please add information on actual source and copyright status of the work. Similarly for Image:Pioneer club early 90's.JPG, and any other similar uploads you have made. Thanks. Infrogmation (talk) 19:03, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- Additionally, note that Image:Pioneer club early 90's.JPG would be after US copyright laws were made more strict; Template:PD-US-no notice only applies to US published material before 1978. I believe you have to have actual info to show its copyright status from publication for such more recent US postcards. -- Infrogmation (talk) 22:54, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Please link images[edit]
Hello BoldSolitude!
Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!
Thank you. BotMultichillT (talk) 16:35, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Transfers from Flickr[edit]
Hi, you should use the Its from Flickr link in the Commons:Upload, something on this imagedescription went realy wrong because (i think) you used the wrong path in the Upload form. Maybe a automated tool will help you to do Flickrtransfer, you can use Bryans Flickr web Tool which is realy simple and saves a lot of your time. --Martin H. (talk) 11:23, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
- Please allways upload the highest version available on Flickr, you uploaded just a thumbnail to Image:Elcortez02.jpg. There is a all Sizes button at the top of the image on Flickr. Thx, --Martin H. (talk) 11:32, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
- And a third thing: I recently deleted some of your contributions because you requested it and some other which are non-free (Yahoo travel, Nevada Magazine). Are there any copyvios left in your uploads? Im still unsure about Image:Durham.JPG, Image:Front of pioneer.jpg, Image:1950's Pioneer Club.jpg, Image:Tuscany-01.jpg, Image:LV-sunset station.jpg, Image:Lv-gold spike.jpg, Image:Cannery east.jpg (i deleted a very similar version from yahoo travel...), Image:Terribles casino.jpg and some other. Also all your Company logos are missing a licence. Please check your gallery for this. Please note, that copyright is a serious concern and that uploading non-free images does a damage to Wikipedia projects. --Martin H. (talk) 12:18, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
