Thanks for uploading File:Children Challenging Industry cartoon picture.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). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you. |

I have no problem with the policy. The fact that this image is freely available on the internet and also the work itself created in 1903 suggest that a picture of it should be usable in an encyclopedia in an article to which it us veryu relevant.62.189.43.130 08:22, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Charlie Woods.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Charlie Woods.jpg]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 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! |

- Note: I'd also left the following comment at Gairderek's en.wikipedia page:-
- I'm commenting here because I notice that you're more active on Wikipedia than on Commons.
- Can you please give the original source (and the reason why it's believed to be free) for the image given above. It appears to have been taken from some form of printed publication (probably a newspaper) and must be well within the usual timespan for copyright (given that the guy was born in 1941).
- If the image is deleted, but you can still prove that you are the original photographer and/or that you have the right to use the image in this way, you can have it undeleted at Commons.
- Hi again,
- I don't know if you added the comment "I am a family member and this picture is taken from my childhood scrap book", but if this is the case then unfortunately the image will have to be deleted as the original printed image is almost certainly still copyrighted by the publisher or someone like that (unless you have the rights to the image anyway). Sorry about that. Do you have any personal images taken from around the same time that we could use instead? Ubcule (talk) 10:20, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

File:Blackburn V Workington 1964.jpg 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.)
