There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:
  • Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
  • State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
  • If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
  • Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
  • Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Thank you.

Hello, HopsonRoad!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Sail diagrams

[edit]

Hi HopsonRoad

I stumbled over some of your recent sailing diagrams (as I'm working on similar topics for dewiki). I could use, in addition to File:Downwind polar diagram to determine velocity made good at various wind speeds.jpg, a full polar diagram that includes the windward part. Do you by chance have something like that available? Thanks. --PaterMcFly (talk) 17:49, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PaterMcFly, Thank you for your interest in my diagram. Unfortunately, I don't have such a diagram ready-made. I'll look at some sources and attempt one. It wasn't easy to do what you see, given my graphics capabilities (that was in MS:PowerPoint). In the meantime, would you take a look at the project that I've been working on by looking at the discussion at Talk:Forces_on_sails and leaving a comment or two, regarding developments in the sandbox? Sincerely, HopsonRoad (talk) 18:15, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'll have a look. I was looking at the article on enwiki of course (as input for improvements on the german article that I had written about it). So far, I couldn't use much of it as it seems to lack structure and a general concept. Hopefully, the rewrite will eliminate some of these problems. I have several sources for polar diagrams, however I need to check whether and how they can be used without risking copyvio issues. --PaterMcFly (talk) 18:37, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
PaterMcFly, I feel that you are safe with the polar diagram grid, regarding copyvio issues. It's the lines. Lines that come from authors' data would be their intellectual property. In my opinion, lines that you draw freehand that generalize from multiple polar diagrams and that you label as "hypothetical" should be free and clear. Cheers, HopsonRoad (talk)

This media may be deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:RalphFlanders1910.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.

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!

Thanks for uploading File:Scott Milne – Vermont businessman and politician.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.

Yours sincerely, JuTa 22:24, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the update, Ju. Please note that the copyright holder has sent a message, titled "Ticket#2016122010026991", dated December 28, 2016, to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org that reads:
I hereby affirm that I Scott Milne, the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of the image as shown here: File:Scott Milne – Vermont businessman and politician.jpg and have legal authority in my capacity to release the copyright of that work.
I agree to publish the above-mentioned content under the following free license: Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International.
I acknowledge that by doing so I grant anyone the right to use the work, even in a commercial product or otherwise, and to modify it according to their needs, provided that they abide by the terms of the license and any other applicable laws.
I am aware that this agreement is not limited to Wikipedia or related sites.
I am aware that the copyright holder always retains ownership of the copyright as well as the right to be attributed in accordance with the license chosen. Modifications others make to the work will not be claimed to have been made by the copyright holder.
I acknowledge that I cannot withdraw this agreement, and that the content may or may not be kept permanently on a Wikimedia project.

Copyright holder
December 28, 2016
Please let me know, whether anything more is needed from Mr. Milne, the copyright holder, and I will convey it to him. HopsonRoad (talk) 22:57, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Then you should use the corresponding license template. I fixed it now, but next time try to do it yourself. regards. --JuTa 23:01, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the advice, Ju. I thought that only the OTRS staff are empowered to change the license. I left an update on the Talk page of the file at the time and now. Note that the Permissions field still has the following language:
An email has been received at OTRS concerning this file, and can be read here by users with an OTRS account. However, the message was not sufficient to confirm permission for this file. This may, among other reasons, be because there was no explicit release under a free license, or the email address that the permission came from is not associated with the location where the content was originally published. For an update on the issue, please contact the user (1989) who added this template to the page, or someone else with an OTRS account, or the OTRS noticeboard. If a valid permission is not provided within 30 days of the first response by an OTRS volunteer, this file will be deleted. Please do not file an additional deletion nomination for permission reasons.
Note to OTRS volunteers: If the email contains sufficient confirmation of the validity of the license, please replace this template with PermissionOTRS|id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi Ju, I notice that the question was never resolved. I am in contact with the copyright holder and was prepared to address any issue that I might have been informed of. To date, nothing has come my way. Instead, the image was deleted for lack of resolution. Perhaps you can advise me on what to do next. Cheers, HopsonRoad (talk) 21:48, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Best you ask on Commons:OTRS Noticeboard for your case. --JuTa 23:05, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Skysails images

File:Kite rig attack angle.jpg
Undeleted file

Hi, User:HopsonRoad, User:Yann and User:Daphne Lantier. With reference to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Kite rig components.jpg, I did e-mail the author, who confirmed that he did not get permission to release the files into the public domain, and then the SkySails press officer, who is willing to release some images under a suitable license or into the PD, and will sort it out when he's back from his Easter holidays. Meanwhile, one of the files I uploaded from the original article, shown here, somehow got missed and should be speedy-deleted. Apologies for my delay in responding.

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.
