Hello Harrybrowne1986, the following content you uploaded violates one or more of our policies and therefore has been or will soon be deleted:

File:Hulchul.jpg

The Wikimedia Commons (this website) only hosts media files with a realistic educational purpose and that can be used for any purpose, including:

use in any work, regardless of content
creation of derivative works
commercial use
free distribution

See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.

Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.

Thank you for speedy deletion of this. Can you please let me know how do you search images in the net, as in you cited the source for it, and, I had the image with me on a folder of images(WatsApp), but never knew that it was a copyright material. Let me know how you search these images. Danke. Vishal Bakhai

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Dresdner Straßenbahn.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:Dresdner Straßenbahn.JPG]]).

If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work.

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!

Hello LX.

The said file cannot be a copyright, as you can yourself see that the image had been created with different images clubbed together, and all of these images were taken from google images, with no copyrights on them. I edited the image file myself, and created the image for to be used in WikiJunior Fruit Alphabets. I am not sure, why the file was deleted without having any talk, and just leaving a message? If this file would have been a copyright, I would have given the same reason out there and anyways would not have uploaded it. If you take into consideration my previous mistakes, please do not do so, as I am way out of that. I am raising a undeletion request. Please have a look at it. Danke. Vishal Bakhai - Works 18:12, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"The image had been created with different images clubbed together" – please read Commons:Collages for information on how to create these legally. "All of these images were taken from Google Images, with no copyrights on them" – please read Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter#Internet images to understand why that statement is erroneous and why you can't legally do this. —LX (talk, contribs) 18:45, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And please do not abuse the {{PD-ineligible}} tag again. Photographs of three-dimensional objects are virtually never ineligible for copyright protection. —LX (talk, contribs) 18:56, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did not understand the way you stated "abuse", LX. Please understand, if I would have wanted to abuse anything, I would be openly doing it, like the IP users, and not trying to fight vandals which I currently do, rather than wasting my time in order to try and cite the correct tags, which was far better in old days. Now things have been made so complicated, that a person can have a headache in order to just understand the tags of licensing. I am not trying to abuse. Please understand. I am still not able to understand why this image is not eligible? I gave the page which cited what was attributable. The authors work is attributable. Now, how would you give an image of Indian Plum, when 99% of the files are getting copyrighted for no reason. I cannot go ahead and buy one in order to upload as my "COPYRIGHT", can I? I am trying to use these files in WikiBooks. Can you transfer the 2 files out there, so that the younger generation can learn few things, while we adults deal with copyright extremes. Danke. Vishal Bakhai - Works 19:14, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Falsely claiming that a copyrighted work is in the public domain is a criminal offense. Providing content that is free and legal for anyone to use is a founding principle of this project. If you think that making sure that the content you upload is free and that you're not breaking the law is a waste of time, then you need to reconsider or stop uploading. You may be annoyed that files that you have uploaded have been deleted, but please understand that they're actually protecting you from your own actions, because you alone are legally responsible for your uploads.

You also need to understand the following:

Most images that you find on the Internet are protected by copyright and cannot be uploaded to Commons. Again, you need to read Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter#Internet images. You should also read Commons:Project scope/Summary to understand what the project you're participating in is all about.
Copyright includes the right to control distribution of the copyrighted work. You do not get the right to use someone else's work without their permission simply by attributing them.
Absence of a copyright notice does not mean that an image is not protected by copyright. (In this case, however, http://www.fitho.in/guide/fruits/plum/ has a clear copyright notice: "Copyright © 2009-2014 · all rights reserved." That means that they explicitly reserve all rights, including the right to control distribution of the image. They don't need to do that to retain those rights, but the notice makes their intentions not to allow any redistribution abundantly clear.)

Assuming the Wikibooks project you refer to is the English Wikibooks project, it cannot be uploaded there either, because it fails the second requirement of wikibooks:en:Wikibooks:Media#Non-free use. —LX (talk, contribs) 19:59, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think that I did any of this intentionally, and neither did I do it "Falsely". If I am not wrong, I did it with good faith, and provided all the links, that were there, without hiding any of it. I do not think, that I did that as per the Crime logic. I am not getting irritated, neither am I upset, but yes, I will definitely try and upload only my own work. When I stated headache I meant looking for the correct license tag, as that is not very easy and not in a simple language in all of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harrybrowne1986 (talk • contribs) 08:29, 17 May 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

Please add your comments, signed and correctly indented after my comments, not inside my signed comments. I've moved your comment to avoid confusion about who said what.

The claim that the photo is ineligible for copyright protection is not true. A claim which is not true is false. If you made the false claim unintentionally, then I think you need to be more careful in the future. Read what the templates you intend to use say, read our policies and help texts, and ask if you're still unsure.

Naturally, it will be very difficult (read: impossible) to find a correct license tag for a file which hasn't been published under a free license. —LX (talk, contribs) 10:05, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and BTW, this file is not a 3D file. When you edit any file in MsPaint, after copying the larger than file sizes, it automatically takes up the area as more than normal. How did you come to conclusion that this is a 3D - "Photographs of three-dimensional objects"? Danke. Vishal Bakhai - Works 19:18, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Plums are three-dimensional objects; they have height, width and depth. Photographing them involves creative decision-making with respect to angle and lighting. This is what is meant by "original authorship" – the thing you claimed that this photograph lacks. —LX (talk, contribs) 19:59, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In this case any other say potatoes, and tomatoes are also 3D. How would you put them, or rather how to license them?

Danke. Vishal Bakhai - Works 08:28, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you need a photo of potatoes, and you cannot find a free photo of potatoes, then I'd suggest you go to the grocery store, buy some potatoes, pick up your camera, take a photo, and upload it under a free license of your choosing. Yes, this is more work than grabbing someone else's non-free work off the Internet, but it's legal, and it's how we do things around here. —LX (talk, contribs) 10:05, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
