- This is an incorrect tag. The file does have a source. It's clearly shown on the photo's File Page as:
- Source: Photo taken by the U.S. Signal Corps, a branch of the U.S. Army, at the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria, May 8, 1945 (U.S. National Archives, public domain).
- Author: Photo taken by the U.S. Signal Corps, a branch of the U.S. Army, at the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria, May 8, 1945 (U.S. National Archives, public domain).
The photo was taken by an employee of a United States government agency (a soldier serving with the U.S. Signal Corps, which was a branch of the U.S. Army, while that soldier was on duty with his unit, May 8, 1945, at the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria during World War. It's now part of the collections held by U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (another U.S. government agency), and has been shared in the public domain via various publications. Therefore, this photo is appropriately tagged and labeled. 47thPennVols (talk) 21:39, 14 August 2018 (UTC) @Elisfkc: It looks like you may have missed 47th Penn Vols' comment above.

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Yvonne Chollet (1897-1945), member of the French Resistance, c. 1940.jpg
editThis file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Yvonne Chollet (1897-1945), member of the French Resistance, c. 1940.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! |

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 has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

Pay attention to licensing
|
Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose.
File:Monica Harrison, mezzo-soprano, c. 1914.jpg seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file. If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

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.
