Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Bfoster333!

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.

Hello Bfoster333, Please add {{PD-old}} to the license section of the images, if it applies. Thanks! --RE RILLKE Questions? 14:11, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Please notify User talk:Dodo; he added an auto-deletion template (no license) to your images. This may be removed by himself now. (if the author is really ...) Thank you. --RE RILLKE Questions? 18:22, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

I am not an admin here. Just a normal user. --RE RILLKE Questions? 23:12, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

File tagging File:Maurice_002.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Maurice_002.jpg. 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:Maurice_002.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

(talk, So what exactly do you need? I'm getting a copy of the release from the creator as we speak.

Additional information needed

I changed "no license" to "no source": how can we verify those images were created/first published in 1922? Regards. --Dodo (talk) 19:37, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Steps to take?

No source is probably better, the verification is going to be almost impossible. All I know is they were created by an Ad Agency that no longer exists in the 20's but weren't published till the 40's. Everyone and their mother has the ability to use these, and does.

Hello Bfoster333, the following content you uploaded violates one or more of our policies and therefore has been or will soon be deleted:

The Wikimedia Commons (this website) only hosts media files with a realistic educational purpose and that can be used for any purpose, including:

• use in any work, regardless of content
• creation of derivative works
• commercial use
• free distribution

See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.

Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.

A non-exclusive permission given to someone else does not allow to give the image to others. See Commons:Project scope#Required licensing terms. --Martin H. (talk) 13:04, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
