Copyright violations

It's a violation of Goole's copyright on their Street View imagery to photograph it when it is displayed on your computer screen. Of the six files you've uploaded, three have been found to be based on Google Street View images; a fourth image is suspect. If any of your other images were not personally photographed by yourself, please tag them for deletion. If you need help, please ask for assistance and we'll take care of it for you. Further violations of copyright can earn you blocks from editing. Imzadi 1979 → 19:42, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Whittier 1955.jpg

File:Whittier 1955.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. 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. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
