Image Tagging Image:Torpedo Boat YA76.png
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Torpedo Boat YA76.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you. skINMATE 20:18, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to respond so late - been a while since I used this login. Don't understand your question, as I stated that this illustration was taken from a very old edition of Scientific American, and it was lifted from project Gutenberg. So is there anything wrong with the description of the file ? --RSteen 13:38, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
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.

Hello. As stated, this picture was taken in 1890, which puts it out of the realm of current copyright discussions. Furthermore - as stated - it is from an official Danish Navy source, which places it in the public domain. Hope this is helpfull. --RSteen 20:51, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Hey
[edit]Saw your comment on File:Port ARthur Action.jpg, the image is a painting of the Lusitania in 1907 (before she was sunk), which was titled "SS Lusitania as an Auxiliary Cruiser in Wartime", which is notable because American claims have always insisted she was a non-military ship -- and it's clear that in 1907 the consensus was that she served in wartime.

- My apologies, I didn't notice that was the wrong painting. My description refers to File:SS Lusitania as an Auxiliary Cruiser in Warfare -1907.jpg which I uploaded at the same time -- not to File:Port ARthur Action.jpg; fixed the description, thank you.
