Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Perseus25!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Copyright status: File:Gladys Hope Marks.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Gladys Hope Marks.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.

Thank you, Magog the Ogre. I have now updated the Licensing section on the page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gladys_Hope_Marks.jpg as follows:

"This file was obtained from the University of Sydney Archives page at http://agile5.ucc.usyd.edu.au/arms/archives/media/me_objects/4890 on which page it states: "Publisher: University of Sydney Archives (...) Rights: This image may be used for research or educational purposes, in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth). For all other uses see http://sydney.edu.au/arms/archives/photos/index.shtml (...) Rights holder: University of Sydney."

I trust that this is sufficient. If not, could you please advise me.

Hello again, Magog the Ogre. I have now further updated the Licensing section on the page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gladys_Hope_Marks.jpg by adding the following licensing tag:

"{{PD-Australia}} – for Australian photographs published 70 years after the death of the creator, or photographs taken prior to 1955"

The subject of the photograph, Gladys Hope Marks, passed away in 1970 and the photo must have been taken "prior to 1955".

I trust this is correct. If not, would you please advise me on the changes needed?

It is fine but please remove the no license template. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 00:23, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.
