Uploaded photos
editHi, it seems that you have uploaded some photos that are also found on geograph.org.uk. These must be properly attributed to their creators. The current license cannot be considered valid. This concerns File:Upper Slade Reservoir.jpg and File:Slade reservoir (lower).jpg, maybe others. Check other files uploaded from geograph.org.uk for details. --Schlosser67 (talk) 07:07, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
Yes, but I am unsure of how to copyright them, if you could correct them I would be happy and would owe you one 21C117 (talk) 07:13, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
My user page has disappeared! 21C117 (talk) 07:13, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
- Not sure what happened to your user page, but with regards to the files from geograph.org.uk, look into Category:Images_from_Geograph_Britain_and_Ireland. Look at the descriptions of the files. Following these examples should enable you to fix your uploads, e.g. by editing the file description and other fields. Try https://geograph2commons.toolforge.org/ for further uploads from the geograph projects. --Schlosser67 (talk) 07:22, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
I have now fixed the copyright issue on one of the photos, thanks 21C117 (talk) 07:26, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
- Still not quite correct. I'll give it a try, and you can then fix the other one. --Schlosser67 (talk) 08:41, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
Ok, cheers mate 21C117 (talk) 20:34, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, 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.
