Image Tagging Image:The beatles.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:The beatles.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 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 {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL 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.

Hello, and thank your for sharing your files with Commons. There seems to be a problem regarding the description and or licensing of this particular file. Could you please resolve these problems, which are described on the page linked in above? Thank you. --Want to delete this photo. Laws in Spain don't allowed to upload covers of Compact Discs, so I can't use the photo. How can I delete it?

Copyright violations
[edit]
Hello Mr.Vandebilt,
You have uploaded several images that are copyright violations and you have done so despite our requests not to do so, and despite our instructions. If you do not stop uploading pictures that are not free, your account will be blocked. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on the Wikimedia Commons. Please do leave me a message if you have further questions. —LX (talk, contribs) 19:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm a recent member of Wikipedia and I have some difficulties with the policy here. It's not my inttention to upload copyrighted photographs. The last one I uploaded is from Wikipedia in English and it's under GNU licensing, so I think I'm not violating any licensing. Anyway, Wikipedia Commons can quit this one -I don't know how to quit- because I'm not interested in uploading more photographs. Claudedeu 21:15, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
