Image without license

File:Street photography in Varanasi India 1996.jpeg

---

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 information 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.

Photo dates

Hi Askmeifyoulike, I would like to know the exact years or dates when your photos are taken. I believe that you are the original photographer of the pics, but I just need to know when they were taken for verification so that they don't attract scrutiny. Thank you. 100cellsman (talk) 12:27, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Looking through your uploads, it seems clear that for many of them you have given the date you uploaded the file, not the date you took the photo. Over at w:Little Richard I've just had to remove an image caption on your photo purporting to be a performance from 2018, when the rest of the article says he certainly wasn't performing by then. Please correct the dates on your photos. Even if you can only specify the decade they were taken that's better than a false date. Beorhtwulf (talk) 01:50, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Some specific problems:

• James Brown died in 2006, so File:James Brown in Concert.jpg cannot be from 2018
• BB King died in 2015 - File:BB King.jpg
• Unlike most uploads where you've just stated the date you uploaded it as the date of creation, you've specified that File:Joe Satriani.jpg is from 11 June 2018, 08:50:11. (Yes, 8:50 am!) But according to https://www.northseajazz.com/en/program/2018/friday-13-july/timetable/ the festival you say it was taken at happened in July, not June, and Satriani does not appear to have been there that year anyway.
