Thanks for uploading File:C&O advertisement for 'Sportsman'-1.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. |

How do I reply to the license when there is no information on the document?
[edit]I am writing in reply to your directive to give you license or copyright information regarding File:C&O advertisement for 'Sportsman'-1.jpg. As indicated in earlier descriptions, there are no indications anywhere in the document as to claims on authorship, copyright or registration. The document (C&O timetable) has none of this kind of copyright or license information either on the first inside pages (the Table of Contents) or the inside rear pages. Nothing is given on the cover of the timetable either. What information should I supply? How is there an issue with this timetable when there are more recent New Haven RR and New York Central entire timetables uploaded into the Wikimedia Commons?

- I have found and applied the license tag that has been used for other non-copyrighted timetables, from between 1926 and 1977. Dogru144 (talk) 03:56, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

- This image is from a scan of a postcard.
- There was no copyright on the front or the back of the postcard.
- The postcard apparently is from before 1917.
- Please advise of the standard tag for a work from the above patterns. Each of the features from the above lines (2 and 3) should free this from copyright considerations. Dogru144 (talk) 03:08, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
