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?

File tagging File:לוגו פורום ירוסלם.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:לוגו פורום ירוסלם.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). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you.

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:ברכת נשיא המדינה.jpg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:ברכת נשיא המדינה.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Hi Ronhjones, File:ברכת נשיא המדינה.jpg, is a public letter written by the president of Israel to Mr. Shmuel Yilma. I scanned the letter myself, and I have Mr Yilma's permission to publish it. Is there anything else I have to do in order for it to be properly licensed? Thanks, yoav

Please see COM:OTRS to see how permission from third parties needs to be done. Only the copyright holder can donate the copyright. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 04:10, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Is Mr. Shmuel Yilma considered the copyright holder? This is a public letter, written by the president of Israel, addressing all the participants of a conference. The letter was sent to Mr. Yilma, who organized the conference.

I don't know if it's Shmuel Yilma, the Israeli government, or whatever. You might be able to use {{PD-IsraelGov}}. I would suggest ask at COM:VPC - there may be someone there who can confirm that. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 04:44, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Could you please delete Media:ברכת נשיא המדינה.jpg? It is my understanding that only the president, who wrote this letter, holds copyright. I will consider uploading it under fair use. Sorry for your trouble, and thanks for the good advice you have given me. User talk:yoavlin (talk)

Deleted, it cannot be considered as {{PD-IsraelGov}} ("על אף הוראות סעיף 4, לא תהא זכות יוצרים בחוקים, בתקנות, בדברי הכנסת ובהחלטות שיפוטיות של בית משפט או של כל רשות שלטונית המפעילה סמכות שפיטה על פי דין."). -- Geagea (talk) 12:25, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll be more careful next time. Yoav
