No license tag
[edit]Unfortunately, "Estate Of Peter Copley Deceased, Executrix, Mrs Margaret Copley" doesn't tell us whether or on what terms the copyright-holder has released the image for free use -- so nothing has been resolved, and an automated program or "bot" will be eventually re-add the no-license tag...

Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.CategorizationBot (talk) 10:54, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

If it was painted in 1934, then it could fall under "PD-Art", but probably not CC-BY-SA-3.0... AnonMoos (talk) 16:47, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
- Also should harmonize with File:The Little Bride Ethel.jpeg (which has no date). If Ethel L Gabain died before the 1940s, then the image will fall under "PD-Art" (not CC-BY-SA-3.0), while if she died after the 1930s, then you should provide some indication that Ethel L Gabain, or the estate of Ethel L Gabain, or other copyright assignee, has given licensing permission, or explicitly explain why it's not still under copyright... AnonMoos (talk) 16:56, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
- OK from en:Ethel Léontine Gabain, it seems she died in 1950, which poses potential problems. I'm not sure why you upload different versions of the same image under different names with different sizes... AnonMoos (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
your e-mail
[edit]OK, but ideally you need to add something to the image description page explaining the situation, because just putting a CC-BY-SA-3.0 tag on an image description page for the painting of an artist who died in 1950 can look suspicious. And uploading a low-resolution scan after you've already uploaded a separate high-resolution scan of the same image doesn't satisfy the copyright-holder's wishes that only relatively low-resolution images be freely redistributed (unless you specifically move to have the high-resolution versions deleted). Finally, under traditional Common law, if you own a painting and have physical possession of it, that doesn't necessarily mean that you also own the copyright to the painting -- in many cases, the artist or artist's heirs would still own the copyright... AnonMoos (talk) 20:08, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
- Removing text from the image description page really doesn't do much. To get it deleted, you must follow the procedure at Commons:Deletion requests to request that it be deleted, explaining the situation... AnonMoos (talk) 11:35, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
