Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

OK, see explanation in the File.--Rew48 (talk) 23:25, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

See below. Similar here. --Saibo (Δ) 01:19, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

But this originally was not a photo. I did the digital photo of a kind of postcard (or I'd say "manifesto") that appeared on an old book pre-WWII. Hope now it is OK.--Rew48 (talk) 23:42, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

OK, see explanation in the File--Rew48 (talk) 23:25, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks - that is a bit better! However, as you can read in Template:PD-Italy the "70 years" do apply after the death of the photographer if it is not a simple photo. This photo does not seem to be a simple photo and you seem also not to claim it. Did you misinterpret the law about the "70 years"? Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 01:17, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

But this originally was not a photo. I did the digital photo of a kind of postcard (or I'd say "manifesto") that appeared on an old Italian book published during WWII. Hope now the explanation is OK. Cheers. --Rew48 (talk) 23:42, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. But it was originally a photo(or an artistic drawing) before if got printed on the "postcard", wasn't it? If this is the case the original photographer needs to be dead for more than 70 years.

Do you know the age of the original? When was the photo taken/painted? Do you know the original photographer?

By the way: do not be afraid of the "wrong license" template - it is just to warn others / make them aware of this discussion here. The image will not be deleted due to this template. :) --Saibo (Δ) 01:16, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
