Thanks for uploading File:Pelargonium principissae.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.

English city, town and village flags

thank you for making some city flags in England, here and here; but can you also make the flag of Glasgow? Alexphangia Talk 13:36, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Wales is next on my list and then I'll move onto Scotland - just finishing the final two cities in England :) TMcB23 (talk) 15:41, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Stirling is the only remaining city that doesn't have an image of the flag. Can you make that flag of Stirling, the last city remains. Alexphangia Talk 14:19, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Some people seem to be very unhappy that I have produced these flags (they're from the banner of arms, I'm pretty sure they're accurate!). They seem intent on removing all my hard work :( TMcB23 (talk) 15:39, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Flags

Hi @TMcB23: , I noticed your recent uploads of flags, particularly in Wales. Not usually aware of flags, however, a recent upload of yours describing a flag of my hometown (Wrexham) made me dispute your uploads, as it has never been used here to my knowledge. It seems to be based on the old Wrexham (borough) coat of arms for one, all flags flown here (well only the council) use the County Borough CoA to my knowledge since 1996, and notably, contains green. Furthermore, some of these "flags" seem to be based on the council coat of arms, therefore they are a Banner of arms, a heraldic flag for the council, but not necessarily the official flag of the city/town. Other flags you have uploaded are based on the religious dioceses and not the place, which I do not think are used in non-religious establishments (i.e. outside the cathedral). However, if you can prove or source where these flags are from that would be great, but if these are your own work or lack a source, ideally label them as fictitious or proposed (using the Fictitious flag template) and abstain from adding them to Wikipedia lists of official flags please (unless stated as proposed or unofficial). Regardless of verifiability, thanks for making a somewhat higher quality emblem of many places in the UK, I am surprised you found and created a higher version of my old town's (soon city) Coat of Arms. Many Thanks – DankJae (talk) 02:09, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi @TMcB23, I have found evidence of the flag you have uploaded for Dundee here. Therefore this file in particular, I do believe has some verifiability (ofc a source is preferable, but banners of arms have little online presence) and I no longer dispute this image. I highly suggest you find images like these showing the flag flown and link them to your image uploads' description as I have done for Dundee. Searching the local council's buildings on Google images may be a great way to see the flag flying and used, due to the absence of sources. Reading your comment above, sorry if this entire situation has made you upset that this has occurred, but we do need sources just to double-check these are correct. We fully recognise you mean good faith and have put a lot of effort into these. Many Thanks – DankJae (talk) 00:07, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Flag of Inverness.png

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Flag of Inverness.png, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

It says in the description the source and copyright status for the derived image.

We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution.

File:UCCF Full Logo in Terracotta.svg

File:UCCF Full Logo in Terracotta.svg 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.

File tagging File:Sutton Bonington Coat of Arms.png

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Sutton Bonington Coat of Arms.png. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Sutton Bonington Coat of Arms.png]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

The high quality image file in my possession is proof of the permission I have to share the file. It is not available elsewhere on the internet. Secondly, the file is a modified photograph of an original illustration which is now out of copyright. I hope this helps. I am no longer in a position to be able to obtain written permission because I am not associated with the organisation any longer. 2A00:23EE:1D30:6E42:69D8:2DE5:385:4DCC 08:13, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
