Source and License Information
editHi there,
I've tagged your images
- File:Connellsvile High School post card.jpg
- File:Kawartha Lakes Post Card.jpg and
- File:1906 directory cover for the WUP.jpg
as having disputed license information, as I think it's pretty clear these aren't your "own work" as claimed, and there is no clear basis for them being licensed as CC-BY-SA-4.0 (that requires a copyright holder to have granted permission).
Note that- assuming you're in the US- that US law does not grant additional copyright for the process of simple copies like this, so the relevant issue is why the original images are freely-usable. I'm guessing they *probably* are due to age, but we need you to clarify this.
Thank you,
