File:ComptoirPrag.jpg

Please do not take authorship of images that are not your work. Thank you for your understanding. Gampe (talk) 15:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Gampe! Since I am new here, please tell me how to proceed.

1.) I want to insert the picture in a new article of the german wikipedia. I do not want to put it in the (worldwide) commons.

2.) I scanned the photographic copy - which I heritated and is in my possession - of a photographie taken in about 1885 of a drawing of about that time, showing the shop of the grandfather of my grandfather in Prag. So I guess, I have the property rights.

3.) In writing the article I work with the Visual Studio Program and for inserting the picture I tried to answer the questions to the best of my knowledge.

What is wrong now, and how could I do better? Or is it best, to withdraw the picture?

1) It's already there. There's no reason why it can't be there.

2) I'm sure you don't have copyright. The author of the work is Friedrich Wachsmann, died in 1897, his works are free.

3) Please upload images via https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard and answer the questions there truthfully

4) In any case, your uploaded file is welcome. Thank you for that. But the author, the year of creation and the license were wrong. I've corrected it. Gampe (talk) 18:32, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Many thanks! I did not know of all that. 178.191.223.158 20:33, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
