Image Tagging Image:CollinBrooks.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:CollinBrooks.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 content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
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 {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license 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.

Is this OK? Sorry I didn't get to this talk earlier! The pic was taken in 1911 (i.e. 100 years old), my family bought it in 1911 and and owns the only hards copy of it, I was the person who scanned directly from that print. Does that help? As in, the digital image was created by me? ThatPeskyCommoner (talk) 09:27, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
I think I may have found the answer: accoding to http://www.museumscopyright.org.uk/private.pdf, copyright expired on this picture 70 years after creation, as it is a photograph created before 1 June 1957, in which case "Copyright expires 70 years after creation or 70 years after the work was made available to the public if within 70 years of creation", and the work has not been made available to the public, being a private family picture. So this is now PD. ThatPeskyCommoner (talk) 10:17, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

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) 11:38, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

- Sadly, I have no idea what licences are applicable to things like Facebook pics, and can;t seem to find out what its licence is/ was. Any tips? ThatPeskyCommoner (talk) 06:08, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
