Copyright status: File:Actor Brooks Benedict.jpg[edit]
This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Actor Brooks Benedict.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

Dear JuTa: I appreciate your kind remarks regarding addition of this file. As far as information on its source, it was accurately stated in detail during file upload as well as in the Biography page for Mr. Benedict where it is linked to and where it appears. To reinstate, this particular print is: "Photograph of Actor Brooks Benedict". in University of Washington, Special Collections, J. Willis Sayre Photographs, Item No: JWS20598. Hollywood, CA, USA. 1931. I personally contacted the curator and a permission to use request was properly filed. Permission was granted officially on October 7, 2015 in writing for the purpose of appearing in Wikipedia. I can provide you with a copy of the letter or UW libraries can be directly contacted to verify. Please do not hesitate to write in case of further questions. Respectfully, M. Neshat Ph.D. 71.103.146.125 11:27, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
- please send that mail to the commons support team as documented at Commons:OTRS, but be aware: a release for "wikipedia only" is not enough. Anybody in the world has to be allowed to use the image for any purpose inclusive commercialy. In fact it must use validy one of the license templates listed in Commons:Copyright tags. But whats about File:Brooks Benedict.jpg? Is this one not only a larger copy of it? Then you could use {{PD-US-no notice}} without permission of anybody. regards. --JuTa 17:05, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
I will scan and send the letter to the above address as requested. Importantly, neither print has copyright restrictions. That was clarified earlier in regard to File:Brooks Benedict.jpg with the commons here, and as stated in the letter for this one. I contacted them for their full consent and proper referencing of that particular print since I wanted to use one that is in a special collection. Respectfully, M. Neshat, Ph.D. Mneshat (talk) 23:02, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
I emailed the Permission to Use letter from University of Washington Special Collections curator to the attention of OTRS staff as requested. Please do not hesitate to contact me in case of further questions. Regards, M. Neshat, Ph.D. Mneshat (talk) 19:08, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
