Hello! Just FYI: I removed a few of the categories used, i.e. Classical musicians is the parent category to Classical musicians from the United States. We try to categorize as deep as possible so re-users can actually find what the want/need. Putting a photograph into an overflowing category doesn't help finding the right photograph. That as a short info, not a big issue. Someone always comes around and cleans those duplet categories up in the end. By the way: Did you know we also collect music files? Hint, hint.... ;-) --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 01:53, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks! And thanks for the explanation on how the categorization works. As for the uploading of sound recordings and videos I would be interested and have many for which I own all the rights, but after my recent experience having my time hugely wasted by overzealous, repeatedly incorrect, admins to get this one picture published, I hate to imagine how much time and effort it would take to get a sound or video file past the gatekeepers. Your thoughts are most welcome. --Cohler (talk) 02:31, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
Well, remember we are all volunteers. We all make mistakes and we all have our misunderstandings sometimes. Not much different in the real world. The whole problem is that the US laws require Commons to adhere to certain standards regarding the intellectual property rights. We try hard to protect the rights of the authors creating media we host on Commons, sometimes we overshoot. (Insert word of choice) happens. IF you are still interested in donating material, I recommend the following procedure:
Upload your file, send permission to OTRS using the release generator found here: https://tools.wmflabs.org/relgen/
If the same file is on the web, i.e. your website, use the url of the file as the source.
That should pretty much be it. You can post the ticket number(s) on my talk page and I'll have a peek. Please remember that the original music can't be under any ©, so we probably have to stick to the good ol' classic composers or US music created before 1923 as a rule of thumb. When in doubt shot me a line, or post a question at the village pump where we gather to discuss copyright issues. Thanks for your patience! --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 18:56, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for the explanation. I definitely appreciate the fact that everyone is a volunteer here (including me ). Your explanation is very clear for sound files. What about video? Does the same procedure apply? --Cohler (talk) 19:13, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
