File:Lady Gaga in 86th Academy Awards.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Uploading files and copyright violation[edit]
Dear Túrelio,
I would like to ask you something before I upload some images in order to avoid copyright violation. I downloaded some images which I put their links below from flickr.com. However, I need to crop them. Can I crop them and then upload them in cropped version? Could you check their licences and let me know please?
I don't have enough information about copyright violation and Creative Commons licences. And I don't want to be banned from editing. So, could you tell me how I should avoid copyright violation please?
The links of images are below:

- Hi Hagvoda,
- I am to bed now, as I have to travel tomorrow; so, expect my reply only in 24 h from now.
- One does not get banned so easily for errors with Flickr-uploads. --Túrelio (talk) 21:07, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Hagvoda,
- now I have checked all above linked Flickr-images. To me, they seem to be o.k., in regard to Commons-compliant license as well as no suspicion of Flickr-washing. So, you may upload them.
- For the process: you should upload them uncropped and in the highest available resolution. Then, first let the Flickr-review bot confirm the license and only thereafter crop them. --Túrelio (talk) 19:59, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
