File:"Grotesque Weathervane" by David Smith.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 may soon be deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please replace the copyvio tag with {{subst:OP}} and have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you disagree that the file is a copyright violation for any other reason, please replace the copyvio tag with a regular deletion request.

Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

I have tagged the following files as also being possible copyright violations:

If it happens that you are David Smith, the sculptor who created the works of art shown in these photographs, then please understand that these actions are being taken to protect your copyright. If you are also the photographer (or the photographer is also willing to grant a free license) and you now wish to publish these images to Wikimedia Commons under a free license, please read Commons:Licensing. Note that you will have to deal with the fact that the images have already been published elsewhere under copyright, i.e. without a free license. Information about this situation can be found at Commons:OTRS. Sorry, but there are no shortcuts. Commons policies are very clear about protecting the rights of copyright holders. Thank you for your understanding. Wdchk (discussion) 02:00, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
