File:Sir-Richard-Couch.jpg

This file was initially tagged by Ratekreel as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: https://npgshop.org.uk/products/sir-richard-couch-npg-x30653-card. However, in 1907 when the picture was made Bassano studio presumably functioned as a collective with no personal authorship. Andrei Romanenko (talk) 22:20, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I added the picture - I am fairly new as an editor so I am hoping you can educate me so that I can learn about adding images for future. The licence note that I received from the National Portrait Gallery when I downloaded the picture is below:

"Please find, attached, a copy of the image, which I am happy to supply to you with permission to use solely according to your licence, detailed at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/

It is essential that you ensure images are captioned and credited as they are on the Gallery's own website (search/find each item by NPG number at http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/advanced-search.php).

This has been supplied to you free of charge. I would be grateful if you would please consider making a donation at https://my.npg.org.uk/dev/contribute2.aspx?don=11&fieldAmt= in support of our work and the service we provide.

Does Wikipedia support embedding the picture based on the licence as written above? I have since added the NPG reference number explicitly under the portrait. GishiP (talk) 05:43, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello GishiP and welcome to Commons! Please have a look at our policies and guidelines. Our licensing policy states that non-commercial and non-dervis are not an acceptable licenses here. But the file in question is a 1907 work of an unknown photographer, which is in public domain because it was published more than 70 years ago in UK and it's term of copyright has expired. If you need any further help, please visit COM:HD. Ratekreel (talk) 10:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining about the licencing policy and the links, this helps. GishiP (talk) 10:45, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

•  Keep I switched it to PD-UK-unknown, if we accept that the studio hired anonymous workers. --RAN (talk) 07:02, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
•  Keep per {{PD-UK-unknown}}. My rationale when tagging was that I was unable to determine the source and date of publication of the photo. --Ratekreel (talk) 09:59, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
