Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Dixon hill!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

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.

This is a unit "insignia" of the royal naval auxiliary service and permissible to use

Crown copyright works "Still" in copyright may be released under the Open Government Licence by the relevant rights owner or authorised information provider.

in this case the authorised information provider is

MOD uk (see section 7 MOD_Crown_Copyright_Licensing_Information below ) Section 7

Use of MOD Insignia by the media or for the purposes of illustration MOD will not interfere with the use of MOD badges and logos by the media in relation to news reports relating to the MOD.MOD will not interfere with the use of names, badges and logos in a drama about the MOD or military (for example, on costumes or props), unless the depiction of the MOD or military is intentionally and seriously defamatory .

People are free to use MOD insignia for illustration purposes. For example to include a regimental badge in a website such as Wikipedia for the purposes of describing in their own words what that regiment does.

As you can see Wikipedia is cited as permissible use

After further research i think this is the correct authorisation for the image/insignia

This work created by the United Kingdom Government is in the public domain. This is because it is one of the following: It is a photograph taken prior to 1 June 1957; or It was published prior to 1974; or It is an artistic work other than a photograph or engraving (e.g. a painting) which was created prior to 1974. HMSO has declared that the expiry of Crown Copyrights applies worldwide (ref: HMSO Email Reply) More information. See also Copyright and Crown copyright artistic works.

The extract was printed over 30 years ago in an unknown(likely the magazine i will mention) publication by an unknown author as noted in the copy write

it is likely it was from a now defunct naval publication "The Vouluteer" but can not cite it (i have tried.

copy`s of Any issue of the publication is very rare to find ,i only have the last one printed in march 1994 even the publishers Holbrook printers,Portsmouth.dont have a archive of the publication it is that old (almost pre computer age ) only go back as far as 1994,and indeed was asked to send them a scan of the cover

If i can`t use it? i have no problem with that

The ship it refers to i think has been decommissioned and scant records exist about her or indeed any RNXS crew of operations ,as most records where destroyed back in 1994. and this extract may have historical importance

But happy to go with any decision made ̴̴̴ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dixon hill (talk • contribs) 22:30, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
