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.

Hello Wehwalt!
Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!
Thank you. Sdrtirs (talk) 12:44, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Please give images good descriptions
[edit]
I noticed you've uploaded one or more images and I thought I should turn your attention to a common error.
Please give some thought to writing a good description of uploaded images. This ensures that they can be used. It also helps those that review and improve categories do a better job, which also ensures that images will get used in novel and interesting ways. Thanks, and happy editing! Sdrtirs (talk) 12:44, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Do you have a better version of Image:Hannover.jpg?
[edit]
Thank you for your submission of Image:Hannover.jpg. While all submissions are useful, do you think you might be able to supply a better quality version of the same, or similar, content? In many cases, the largest and highest resolution possible is the most useful version to have available. (MediaWiki has automatic resizing functionality, so there is no need for multiple versions of the same image at different sizes, users can select any size and the software will generate and cache the needed resolution on the fly.)
If you can supply the same exact image as Image:Hannover.jpg at a larger resolution (or media at a higher bitrate, etc.), please just upload it over the original, users will get the new higher quality version with no further effort on your part. If on the other hand, the content is only similar, it is best to select a new image name, as there may be uses already where some aspect of the existing media was key to the usage. In the latter case, if you can provide a crosslink reference to the new image in the older one and vice versa, that will be extremely helpful.
Again, thank you very much for your contribution, it is appreciated. Sdrtirs (talk) 12:47, 2 August 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 (talk) 06:16, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Neville Chamberlain Signature
[edit]Hey, I have the source image in the description page. It was from an autograph website. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Also, you can contact me much more quicker on my page on the English Wiki, if you'd like. Connormah (talk) 23:20, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Deletion nominations
[edit]Have been rather conservative about nominating your problematic uploads for deletion. Neville Chamberlain's signature, for example, probably is indeed copyrightable and the intellectual property of his estate. Please do not import intrigue and innuendo from other websites here. At Commons we endeavor to be mellow yet by the book. It would be very good if you added categories to your uncategorized uploads, per the above notice. If you continue in an aggressive and uncooperative vein I will ask another administrator to do a second license compliance check of your contributions. Durova (talk) 18:04, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
- Do what you feel you need to. As should be clear by now, I respond badly to heavyhanded efforts. You were the one who used Commons for offsite purposes. I'd tend to doubt it on Chamberlain's signature. He signed it on a public document. You got a cite on that? as we say in the law. Incidentally, isn't it customary to notify uploaders of proposed deletions?--Wehwalt (talk) 19:27, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know what you mean by "heavyhanded"; these are matters of policy and law. Durova (talk) 19:39, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
- Heavyhanded means what you just stated above. Aren't you using status to make a point in an argument? Isn't that kinda silly? And you did not answer my questions about the failure to notify me of deletion nominations, I see that you nommed additional ones without notice. That's kinda rude, isn't it?--Wehwalt (talk) 19:44, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
- On the signature question, please see here at page 440. I can't get access to page 439, but 440 seems clear enough. Neville's signature is not copyright.--Wehwalt (talk) 20:06, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

File:McKinleyAssassination.jpg
[edit]Hi. On File:McKinleyAssassination.jpg, thanks for adding a link to the LOC page. But what was your reason for stating in the description "Note that the description states it was copyrighted."? The Library of Congress web site description [1] does not say that at all; to the contrary it says "No known restrictions on publication." Wondering, -- Infrogmation (talk) 15:08, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- Yes it does, "H65676 U.S. Copyright Office.". It's in the description. It is for additional justification for the licensing tag. I am, with my colleague Coemgenus, preparing William McKinley for FAC on en.wiki and they can be a bit picky. Or am I misreading the description?--Wehwalt (talk) 15:15, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, I see, thanks. (Perhaps if you think such info should be added, some indication that the copyright has expired should also be included to avoid possible confusion regarding current license status.) Thanks for your work. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 15:45, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- Good point. I'll do just that. I'm sometimes a bit thumb-fingered in my use of commons, apologize for any offense, none meant.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:20, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Dman41689 (talk) 04:40, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
- In other words, you think that because it is a pose of a rock band, that I could not have possibly taken it. Despite the fact that a cursory check of my contributions would show that this and many other photos were taken with the same camera. See [[File:Macdonald Monument.jpg. It was taken outdoors, with other fans around, and they were kind enough to pose. It took them two minutes and they went on their merry way as did I. I uploaded it within the hour; you will note the coincidence of the data generation time per the metadata and the upload time. That means it was not taken by some pro and downloaded off the internet. (a pro would have done a better job with the lighting, which did not turn out as I hoped) The ludicrous nature of the tagging speaks for itself. However, in the interests of heading off similar ill-advised and careless attempts in the future, I have sent to OTRS an email basically saying the above, perhaps in not as strong language. I wonder if my image of the 1870-S gold piece is next on grounds I could not possibly own it as there is only one? With Commons utterly stuffed with copyvio, you pick on me?--Wehwalt (talk) 07:29, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Hi Wehwalt! I need your input on two images of yours.
I found both files are in the big no source bucket. Before I do anything wrong, I'd like to ask if I got it right. The images was taken by you, so own work. Correct? Judging by all the nice work you do, I think you might just have forgotten. Just let me know, I am happy to fix that for you. Keep up the good work! --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 04:09, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Jefferson peace medal dies.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

File:Pennies1.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added may soon be deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please replace the copyvio tag with {{subst:OP}} and have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you disagree that the file is a copyright violation for any other reason, please replace the copyvio tag with a regular deletion request. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Thanks for uploading File:Jefftokyo2.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 ([email protected]). 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. |

Important message for file movers
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Commons_File_mover.svg/75px-Commons_File_mover.svg.png)
A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect
user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.
Possible acceptable uses of this ability:
- To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
- To perform file name swaps.
- When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)
Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.
The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect
user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
