[edit]Copyright status: File:Robert Waldo Brunelle Jr.jpg
This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Robert Waldo Brunelle Jr.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. |

Permission for images on Robert Waldo Brunelle Jr page I saw the warning about images on my draft Robert Waldo Brunelle Jr page and noted that I had seven days to correct. Mr. Brunelle sent an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org this morning (7-4-21) giving his permission, and so I attached a tag to the Brunelle page. The response posted to my page refers to a 40-day backlog. Due to notice about that 40 day backlog, I am posting this note to draw attention to the permission that has been sent within the seven day window, in order to keep the images and/or page from being deleted.
I do not have ticket number, or OTRS assigned agent yet. There is a message now posted to my draft Brunelle page

Hello!. You should always try to categorize your uploaded media in a more accurate category. In this case Category:Public health physicians from the United States. Before upload a media, you should browse by categories to determine the most convenient one/s (or create a new category). Thanks. Jmarchn (talk) 21:35, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
Hello Jmarchn - thanks for your interest in my draft - I'm hoping it makes it to the goal line of being added to wikipedia! Thanks for the thoughts about categories - that's the next thing I'll take a look at fine tuning. User:ProfessorKaiFlai 22:03, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Physicians who practiced in the Spann Medical Office.jpg
[edit]This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Physicians who practiced in the Spann Medical Office.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, 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. 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! |

Thank you - I just put myself 'ProfessorKaiFlai' as the source of the image, as it is my own work. I no longer have the phone that I used to take the original photograph. I will try to see if I have a better version of the image. But hopefully my putting myself as the source will solve the immediate issue.

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.

File copyright status
[edit]Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. While everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the project, one or more of your file uploads had missing or false information regarding its source and copyright status. Please note that Wikimedia Commons takes copyright rules and infringement very seriously. Files may only be uploaded and included if their copyright status meets the conditions stated in our licensing policy, and if their provenance is clearly documented. Files that fail to meet those conditions may be deleted, and users who fail to meet them may be blocked. Please follow our first steps, if you haven't already. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the Village Pump copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 15:31, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
There has been some misunderstanding about *how* to upload images to the page, as a first timer. I appreciate the corrections and am following them. This image is a work by me and is NOT a violation. The image is on the HMDB page because I submitted it. The image is actually still on my old phone. I have two phones - I messaged the picture to my new phone, which is easier to use, and used my phone to email the image to myself. Then I could use my laptop to save the file and upload it to wikipedia commons.
I am not able to upload the images directly from my phone because I cannot see the *insert* tab on either phone.
Please let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done to clear this up. User:ProfessorKaiFlai 15:35, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- Please login. If either of those phones runs Android, please consider installing COM:APP. See also COM:TALK. — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 15:45, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
Thank you, I will look into installing that app and will review the COM:TALK page ProfessorKaiFlai (talk) 15:56, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- You're welcome. We also have Special:Upload, usable from desktop or mobile mode in many browsers, you just need to be prepared with wikitext for the file description page. Direct links to it are mobile and desktop. Also note that your experience may be different if your phone is in landscape or portrait mode. Also, I sometimes transfer stuff between my devices using drafts in Gmail. — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 23:58, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
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.----Animalparty (talk) 02:40, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
"Own work" and copyright
[edit]Hello. Please don't claim "Own work" on photographs or images that were created by others, and please give accurate info on true creator and source. File:White House Senior Staffcrop.jpg for instance, is a cropped thumbnail from File:White House Senior Staff hold a meeting in situation room - C1432-0.jpg from the National Archives, which appears to be in the public domain, not under the more restrictive CC-SA license you applied. Unless you took that photo in the Regan White House, you are not the creator or copyright holder. Simple crops are generally not considered sufficiently original (see Commons:Threshold of originality) to claim new copyright of a derivative work, but you can indicate that changes from the original were made via various templates such as {{Extracted from}}, {{Derived from}}, or {{Retouched picture}}. Similarly, unless you are the original painter, works like File:RembertDennis.jpg and File:MarshallWilliams.jpg are not your "own work", and stating such is extremely misleading. If you actually represent the legal copyright holder, a more honest template than {{Self}} should be used. Remember, merely uploading or scanning an image made by someone else doe not make you the creator or grant you any new right to copy. --Animalparty (talk) 03:05, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for this! It was not my intend to claim these images as own work for the purpose to mislead, as I am not legal copyright holder. I did not see the option to include the images that are from elsewhere without checking the 'my own work' box. I did not see a place to check Extracted from or derived from during the upload. I will try to go back to corrections of source. ProfessorKaiFlai (talk) 19:58, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
- If you're uploading using Special:UploadWizard on Commons, there are different buttons for "This is my own work" and "This is someone else's work;" the latter leading to various potential free licenses, or public domain rationale reasons (see Help:Public domain). Commons:Licensing describes the basics. Uploading works by others requires credible evidence that the original is freely licensed or in the public domain, e.g. by including a link to a source URL indicating free license. For uploading crops while faithfully preserving all metadata (author, source, license, etc.), the CropTool is very useful. For media of which you are not the original creator, please indicate author, license, and source in the File description. Media without credible evidence is subject to deletion. For questions regarding the copyright status of certain media, you can ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright. Cheers, --Animalparty (talk) 15:49, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, I will work to make those corrections. I hope the Wikipedia processes of adding images, (images which, btw benefit the individual biographies, not the editors) is made easier and less complex.ProfessorKaiFlai (talk) 18:26, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

- Here is the link to the webpage with the image. I saw both the creative commons license and the AP source, so frankly, not sure which is correct. But it's the only image of LM that I have been able to find that has reference to a Creative Commons license.

- Unfortunately, I don't think this is a freely-licensed photo. There is no mention of a Creative Commons license anywhere on the page, and the site's copyright terms state: "Some or all of the material on our website are protected under copyright laws. No portion may be copied, reproduced, or redistributed in any manner whatsoever without the consent of the copyright owners." Furthermore, this photo likely comes from the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, and works by the Pennsylvania state government are not automatically in public domain.

File:Luigi Mangione.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. |
