You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed?

File tagging File:Wilhelm Storost (Vilius Storostas-Vydūnas) on 200 LTL banknote.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Wilhelm Storost (Vilius Storostas-Vydūnas) on 200 LTL banknote.png. 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.

@Yann: I am the author of this image. Since you are asking for "proof" or "permission information", what could possibly count as legitimate proof or permission in this case? Profesorium (talk) 20:37, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Yes, you took the photo, but this is a derivative work, where the copyright of the bank note remains. What's the status of this? Regards, Yann (talk) 05:06, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

@Yann: Please see "According to the Republic of Lithuania Law on Copyright and Related Rights (passed on May 18, 1999 and amended 2010) Chapter II, Section 1, Article 5, case 3: "Copyright shall not apply to official State symbols and insignia (flags, coat-of-arms, anthems, banknote designs, and other State symbols and insignia) the protection of which is regulated by other legal acts. Hence it is assumed that this image has been released into the public domain." at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:200_LTL_banknote.png Profesorium (talk) 06:38, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Could you please mention that in the file page, and/or add the appropriate license. Thanks, Yann (talk) 06:42, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

@Yann: Hello. Done, license info added. Sorry I did not do it earlier. I did not know it was needed. Profesorium (talk) 06:44, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
