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 informations 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.

Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content, that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing.

The file you added will soon be deleted. If you believe this image is not a copyright violation, please explain why on the image description page.

- Please take a closer look to w:ru:Изображение:Mengistu.jpg where you copied the image from: The russian wikipedia accepts images under a fair use rational, Commons does not accept fair use. The imagepage at the russian wikipedia does not say anything about GFDL, so you cant select the GFDL license here at Commons. Also the author is not unknown: a weblink to Associated Press is given and Associated Press does not allow everyone to use their work for every purpose including money making purposes. --Martin H.

Image Tagging Image:Balcha Safo.jpg
[edit]
![]() |
Thanks for uploading Image:Balcha Safo.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|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version 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. Martin H.

Merci d'avoir déposé le fichier Image:Président-Girma-Wolde-Giorgis.jpg sur le serveur. Il lui manque toutefois des informations sur les conditions de sa réutilisation.

Si ces informations sur les autorisations ne sont pas fournies dans les sept jours, le fichier pourra être supprimé du serveur dès l'issue de ce délai. Merci. Martin H. (talk) 03:33, 7 December 2008 (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.BotMultichillT 06:15, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Aman_Mikael_Andom.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Aman_Mikael_Andom.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

It is missing essential source information: Name of the memorial at minimum, author (photographer of original), correct date of creation, information whethere the photograph of the photograph was taken inside or outside the memorial. The rational "There is no name on the photograph publicly disposed so this picture is not protected by copyright since it is Ethiopian law." is wrong, also ethiopoian photographs enjoy copyright under the Copyright and Neighboring Rights Protection Proclamation No. 410/2004. --Martin H. (talk) 12:26, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- The abbove cited proclamation was published in the Federal Negarit Gazeta, 10th Year, No. 55, June 19, 2004, I think your civil code is amended by this proclamation. --Martin H. (talk) 15:00, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- Ehm, realy not. The proclamation even says: Any other law, which is inconsistent with this Proclamation, shall not be applicable with respect to matters provided for in this Proclamation. And it says: This Proclamation shall enter into force as of the date of its publication in the Federal Negarit Gazeta. And it was pubslished, source given above. --Martin H. (talk) 15:41, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Can you please simply correct the source information instead of starting a discussion about copyright law? Without any source information any future discussion is not helpful at all. Provide all informations you have, is it a photo of a photo, is it a scan, place(s) of publication, what is the factual or even the presumed date of creation and so on. Then we can see if it is justifiable public domain in accordance with COM:L. --Martin H. (talk) 17:02, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- In my eyes date and original photographer missing, the date was more than vague, no efforts where done to find out the photographer. Also, but thats my personal opinion, if the photo is presented at a memorial like a mural or poster, you should make a photograph including some surrounding to demonstrate all information and context and to show that this are not scans from books (books would have much more information). --Martin H.

RE:Ethiopian National Anthem
[edit]I had rendered lyrics from the related article in English Wikipedia. Look its history for my ID around the image's uploading date and you will find the original text. I really did not know whether it was correct. If you see that there was some error, you have two choices: either patch up my image (recommended), or newly make your own one (and then replace my image everywhere being used so I will delete it later). Please reply me which choice you choose. --Octahedron80 (talk) 05:50, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
