File:Holly Marie Combs (1).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.

Your uploads from flickr
[edit]It is always preferred to upload images at highest resolution; you seem to crop from low-resolution copies. Materialscientist (talk) 10:09, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- I always download the highest resolution available from flickr, the images I find I have to crop as they are often out of proportion for the uses of Wikipedia (for infoboxes, galleries ect), previous to cropping they can appear cumbersome on the page, even when placed in between paragraphs and sections making the pages look sloppy.

- Great, thanks; you probably just forgot that with your last 4 Clarkson uploads (they are cropped from the "Large 1024 (1024 x 768)" rather than "Original" versions). Cheers. PS. Your signature needs a closing </sup> sign, otherwise the timestamp and next post remain in superscript. Materialscientist (talk) 10:59, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, one more thing: your cropping software removes the EXIF data - it is better to keep those. Materialscientist (talk) 11:05, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Critically evaluate Flickr licenses
|
File:Aguilera 2012.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. You may have preserved the information shown on Flickr correctly when transferring the image here, but the Flickr uploader is not the copyright holder of this image. Either the image was created by someone else, or it is a derivative of someone else's work. As stated in Commons:Licensing, only the copyright holder may issue a license, so the one shown on Flickr is invalid.
Always remember to critically evaluate Flickr licenses. Photostreams with professional-looking photographs, album covers, posters, and images in a wide range of styles or quality taken by many different cameras often indicate that the Flickr uploader either does not understand or does not care about copyright matters. See Commons:Questionable Flickr images for a list of known bad Flickr users.
