[edit]
Hello, and thank your for sharing your files with Commons. There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. Please remember that all uploads require source, author and license information. Could you please resolve these problems, which are described on the page linked in above? Thank you. --Siebrand 15:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
File:Minangprocession.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 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

- That user has uploaded a few images long long time ago whith the text "Permission provided by Marc-Antoine Dunais via email for distribution under the following license:...". I have asked user on 2010-04-05 if he still has the mail. --MGA73 (talk) 11:37, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

- Apologies to all concerned. I did a number of things in reviewing that flickr image; first, I obviously checked flickr to see if the license had changed to a free one (it had not), then I rechecked the file page here to recheck on the permissions to use the image, saw it was supposed to be an email, noted the age of the picture, checked the user's contribs and noticed nothing for 10 months or so. My viewpoint was one of protecting the project and so went ahead with the (copyvio/review failed) tag and posted a notice here. I feel I did the right thing (it was deleted afterall), but can see the point made in going about it in a different manner for some cases. Thanks for the heads up, hope you can get the permission sorted out as it is a nice pic, and it'd be a shame to lose it. :) fr33kman -s- 00:15, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
File tagging File:Padang_panorama.jpg
[edit]This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Padang_panorama.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you. |

If you created the content yourself, enter 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! |
