Operation Red Hat NARA images
[edit]Hi, could you add the NARA record number for each of the Operation Red Hat related images please? Hohum (talk) 18:04, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
- I did not get them from NARA. I got them from the Okinawa Prefectural Archives who got copies from NARA. The file name has the a document number (not sure if this is a NARA or Okinawa Archives number) but most of these seem to be still images from the film Operation Red Hat: Men and a Mission. (1971) available here: http://ia600402.us.archive.org/2/items/gov.archives.arc.3033306/gov.archives.arc.3033306.ogv
- This is the external link where Japanese photos and captions (and videos) can be viewed from the Okinawa archives. I suggest using Chrome or a translator.
- photos: http://www.archives.pref.okinawa.jp/kensaku/2012/04/post-3.html
- videos: http://www.archives.pref.okinawa.jp/kensaku/
- The instructions that I received were: input a Photo name: "19-01-2" (for example). Push a right search button. 検索実行=Japanese go
- The images at the site above are work of Army Communications Squadron, US Government photo shoot, source is National Archives and Records Administration.Johnvr4 (talk) 16:16, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Former Mace missile sites on Okinawa.png
[edit]This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Former Mace missile sites on Okinawa.png. 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. |
