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 informations 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.

Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
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.BotMultichillT 06:07, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Kindly let me know what needs to be done to keep these images LX — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathanagopal (talk • contribs) 11:32, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi! Was it your intention to prohibit the creation of derivative works and commercial use of these files? If so, would you be willing to reconsider? If not, I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done, because those restrictions are incompatible with Commons' licensing policy. But if you'd be willing to have the files published without those restrictions, they could be undeleted. Cheers, —LX (talk, contribs) 11:51, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
Hello there, thanks for the swift response. Yes, I would like to have these files published without those restrictions. Thank you LX — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathanagopal (talk • contribs) 12:58, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
- That's great!
- Jim, since you handled the deletion nomination, would you mind undeleting the files? I can take care of sorting out the file descriptions. Thanks, —LX (talk, contribs) 13:34, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
- Done . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:52, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
