Car photos
editHi,
Your recent uploads of car pictures -- including some greatly-appreciated rarer models -- are of disappointingly low resolution. Not only does this reduce their quality, but it also raises the suspicion that the photos are simply coming off the internet. A lack of metadata for the photos is also troubling.
If you are indeed taking the photos yourself, please do what you can to get them in higher resolution. If not, be aware that you are violating copyright and the photos will need to be deleted. IFCAR (talk) 02:22, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
- I'd say he has some explaining to do... I located File:82LincolnContinentalsedan.jpg at this page. File:79PlymouthHorizonTC3.jpg I think might have come from here (but the source has expired). Tabercil (talk) 05:40, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
File source is not properly indicated: File:Nancy&AnnWilsonWeAreTheWorld25.jpg
editThis media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Nancy&AnnWilsonWeAreTheWorld25.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:Nancy&AnnWilsonWeAreTheWorld25.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! |

File:82LincolnContinentalsedan.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. 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.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
