Thanks for uploading File:Victoria international college.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). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Victoria international college.png]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

Copyright status: File:Saint Sebastian's Church Enderamulla - Aerial view 2024.jpg
[edit]Copyright status: File:Saint Sebastian's Church Enderamulla - Aerial view 2024.jpg
This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Saint Sebastian's Church Enderamulla - Aerial view 2024.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. |

Copyright violations
[edit]
Hello VihirLak007.
You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful. This is your last warning. The next time you upload a file that violates copyright, you will be blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions. |

- Hi yes. Except for the holy family convet image (i scanned from a souvenir book also i think they have it in the website) and the nakulugamuwa post office image, all the rest is my own photos i took throughout years. I see i have licensed them here as my own work but it seems it isnt enough. What are the needed proofs for this. Thanks in advance. Need to work this out since some are needed for few existing articles. Very much appreciate further help VihirLak007 (talk) 16:18, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- You have uploaded quite a number of files copied from the Internet, and claimed them as your owns. So how can we trust you? Please upload the original images with EXIF data, or send a permission via COM:VRT. Thanks, Yann (talk) 17:21, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- i uploaded the above mentioned images i took directly from phone to commons. is there a separate section to fill in the exif data or are they automatically getting entered when uploading the image? Below are definitely some of my originals.

- i recently (now) uploaded this file. File:ST SEBASTIANS CHURCH ENDERAMULLA.jpg. Is this done in the correct way? Its a photo from my dslr camera (not a phone pic this time) Is this how it should be done? i uploaded it from UploadWizard. And is there a reason my uploads of photos i take from my phone dont give any exif data? I really apprecitate your kind help. VihirLak007 (talk) 18:29, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

- HI again Yann, i went back and read about commons again and i realized how noob i was. As you see all of the nominated files were uploaded in 2022, ALL. now after 2 years and more experience in wikipedia and now that i have re-read the rules and regulations on uploads like this i can assure you less mistakes will be done. Also meantime, can this not be my last warning? Coz i might make mistakes when uploads are done, and will much appreciate guidance rather than being blocked. I have no intention for any invasive uploads. Im still learning and would definitely need guidance on matter like this from experienced users and admins like you. I nominated few images for speedy deletion under G7 an F5. If you can please delete them and other images you nominated too, i really don't need a blackmark being a fraudster here. I really loved contributing to Wikipedia. Ill re upload any images thats in use in articles with quality and legit images with complete Exif data. Really sorry for any inconvenience caused. Thanks for tolerating my mistakes. Also if possible VihirLak007 (talk) 20:22, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Tæm̆bili Pandol 2024 Enderamulla Church Feast.jpg
[edit]This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Tæm̆bili Pandol 2024 Enderamulla Church Feast.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! |
