There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

This message was added automatically by Nikbot, if you need some help about it please read the text above again and follow the links in it, if you still need help ask at the → Commons:Help desk in any language you like to use. --Nikbot 18:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

File:SkipVanWinkle1971.jpg

Hi MusicRow, did you really shoot the original photography shown on File:SkipVanWinkle1971.jpg? --Túrelio (talk) 00:22, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

No, but he gave the photo back then..have you found one like it?

The problem is that the depicted musician will hardly also be the photographer. But it's usually the photographer who holds the copyright. The photographer was likely paid for use of the image on fan cards etc., but hardly also for the distribution under a free license, which is altogether different.

I assume the same is true for File:Strutt Band1982.jpg, File:SkipVanWinkleband1972.jpg, File:Mandrell86Schafer.jpg and File:MandrellDo Rites86.jpg, isn't it? --Túrelio (talk) 00:42, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

no, sir...the struttband shot was taken against a wall in a club, by non professional..the Mandrell shots were taken by my brother at a show. You can see those are not 'pro'..the skip band shots were done with a timer by the drummer..the skip solo shot photographer is unknown..unless the drummer took that shot also..He is or was not a professional photographer

Being "a professional photographer" is not relevant for copyright. Animals can't hold copyright, but any human does. Though I doubt that these uploads can stay on Commons, you should correct your wrong claims of own authorship (scanning doesn't make you the author) but adding all available information about the photographer and also add the location (country) where the shots were taken, as this may also influence the length of copyright. --Túrelio (talk) 00:58, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

I understand & respect your position & decisions...
