URL for IOC images?
[edit]Hello, Genghis Smith. Thank you for uploading the many IOC images! They will be great additions. Are these images located at a URL? If so, which one? --Iamunknown 20:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:1940poster.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:1940poster.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you. —LX (talk, contribs) 21:07, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
Posters
[edit]Hi, the posters you have uploaded, seem to copyrighted. They are not PD because it's supposed to be death of the author +70yrs and I don't think they fall under Olympic licence like this one here Image:Olympic rings.svg as it only applies to stuff like Olympic rings, anthem, motto etc, Would be great if you could clarify the license but if not can you just delete them, please. --Robek 00:42, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Sources
[edit]I have deleted a bunch of your uploads as their only source was either blogspot or something that alike. None of them had informations about author, dates. Despite their missing informations you tagged them as PD-old indicating the author has been dead for at least 70 years. This is in no way sufficient informations.
I am giving you a warning now and a chance to seek information about these. In one week I will be starting to delete your images. --|EPO| da: 17:45, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
