Image Tagging Image:Fb_logo4c_3d.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading Image:Fb_logo4c_3d.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Tip: Categorizing images
edit
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 05:56, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

File tagging Image:Falter Titelblatt 13 2008.jpg
editThis media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Falter Titelblatt 13 2008.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. 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. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:Image:Falter Titelblatt 13 2008.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

File source is not properly indicated: File:Stadtplan_Freistadt_um_1930.jpg
editThis media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Stadtplan_Freistadt_um_1930.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Stadtplan_Freistadt_um_1930.jpg]] ).
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. 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 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! |

unknown. Found in Magazin from the Year 1930. So possible OLD and therefore no deleting needed! --Hjanko (talk) 19:35, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Hjanko, das Problem bei der Karte ist, dass man ohne genauere Angaben zu Quelle (in der die Karte erstmals veröffentlicht wurde) und Autor nicht einfach davon ausgehen kann, dass sie gemeinfrei ist. Karten sind auch wie andere Werke bis zu 70 Jahre nach dem Tod des Urhebers geschützt. Das bedeutet auch, dass es bei einer Karte aus dem Jahr 1930 eher unwahrscheinlich ist, das das Urheberrecht bereits abgelaufen ist. Weitere Infos gibt es z. B. auf de:Wikipedia:Bildrechte. Unten rechts auf der Karte meine ich auch einen Namen zu sehen, wenn auch nicht wirklich entzifferbar. Also ist der Autor wahrscheinlich bekannt. --Kam Solusar (talk) 05:57, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
- Da muss ich mal im Museum in Freistadt nachfragen, von wem die Karte stammt. Den Museumsleiter kenne ich eh. Auf Grund der Unschärfe mach sie mich eh nicht glücklich - ich hoffe, ich bekomme eine bessere, scharfe, größere Version. --Hjanko (talk) 14:48, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Copyright status: File:Waaggasse 22 Freistadt.jpeg
editThis media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Waaggasse 22 Freistadt.jpeg. 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. |
