Copyright status: File:Lady Beveridge, circa 1957.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Lady Beveridge, circa 1957.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.

The file already has a link to the derivative work and an explanation of it's copyright status. Hopefully this is sufficient (given it wasn't deleted in a week!) Drkirstyross (talk) 12:27, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Request for photographs

Hi Kirsty,

I've noticed that you have taken a number photos in the St Andrews area, and in particular The St Rule Club, the St Andrews Golf Club, Tom Morris shop (now The Open store) etc. Would you be able to take a few more photos around the Old Course for me?:

• The New Golf Club (https://www.newgolfclubstandrews.co.uk/) 3-5 Gibson Place, St Andrews (and in The Links if possible)
• Rusacks Hotel (including the new extension - https://marineandlawn.com/rusacksstandrews/)
• St Andrews Ladies' Putting Clubhouse, https://www.standrewsputtingclub.com/ (improved image upon File:St Andrews Ladies’ Putting Club (The Himalayas).jpg) and a few of "The Himalayas"
• Updated photo of The R&A World Golf Museum (https://www.worldgolfmuseum.com/)
• The Caddie Pavilion, (improved image of File:Caddie Pavilion under construction-geograph-6534075-by-Graeme-Yuill (cropped).jpg) and finally
• The Old Pavilion (improved image of File:The Old Pavilion at the Old Course 6114081 424633ac.jpg

There is no particular rush for these, and I can understand if you are very busy to photo them. Best wishes. SethWhales ^talk 09:07, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Seth. I am happy to take some photos of these locations for you. Due to the huge amount of infrastructure and parking restrictions currently in place for the Open, I may wait until they are all clear before doing so. I'll get better images that way. In the meantime, I've uploaded a few of the Rusacks Hotel to keep you going ;-)

Hi Kirsty, I didn't really expect them that soon. Thank you so much. I wish I was in St Andrews for The Open....St Andrews must have been packed and brilliant all at the same time. I would image it would take some week to get all the stands dismantled, so no rush at all. One day I will go to Scotland and St Andrews in particular. I do need to go, as my step father (RIP) grew up in Fife. The nearest I have got to Scotland is Newcastle would you believe. As you may tell from my Username I am from South Wales (Cardiff) so if you ever need a photo from my "neck of the woods" please do not hesitate to contact me. Many thanks again - SethWhales ^talk 18:22, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

CropTool

Hi Kirsty,

I use CropTool all the time to crop my images, much simpler. That is if you don't use it already. Just go to Commons:CropTool to set it up. All the best. SethWhales ^talk 10:43, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Oooh good tool. I'll see about including that in my Wiki editor training. Speaking of which, I'm running a 72 hour editathon in late September if you fancy joining in the fun?! Here's the dashboard link (passcode IDEANetwork@StA) if you fancy it. I'm also running some training sessions if you know anyone who would like to have a go. Drkirstyross (talk) 12:30, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

I've signed up to it. But I'm not sure what "it" is? So, I probably will need some training. SethWhales ^talk 06:17, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Seth. "It" is a 72 hour long editathon to improve Wikipedia and her sister projects, and it is part of EXPLORATHON, Scotland's contribution to European Researchers' Night. I'm trying to build capacity amongst researchers and others so that they feel willing and able to contribute their knowledge to Wikipedia. Also, researchers are really good at finding papers that are outwith a paywall! Drkirstyross (talk) 09:38, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi IagoQnsi. Thank you for your vigilance regarding copyright infringement. However, I was the one who designed this logo for the Network and I am the copyright holder. It would be great if it could be undeleted at your earliest convenience. I am also happy to follow the process in the notice above if necessary.
