Americum

Hi, your upload Image:Am,95.jpg was a duplicate of Image:Americium.jpg which is already uploaded to Commons. I deleted your duplicate upload. --Martin H. (talk) 01:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I just noticed, that you uploaded many images with author "anonym" licenced public domain. You must provide an author and source for the image, saying: the author is unknown, nobody knows who the copyright owner is, so it really doesn’t matter is not accepted here, following the Precautionary principle all this images are for deletion. Please provide the sources. --Martin H. (talk) 01:37, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

The option exists: Public domain (pd). But nothing is public domain without a reason: the author releases something into the pd because he want this or he is employee of the us-government for example and his employer releases his work into the pd, the authors (economic) rights are expired because he died 70 years ago and many other cases, see Wikipedia:Public domain. But: If the author is unknown you cant assume that the image is pd. The image has an author (otherwise it would not exist) and the author himself has moral rights according to the image and he or his employer have economic rights. Its like stated at Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle: Even they will never make use of their rights the images are not free because they did not abandon this rights (or restricted them under a licence). So it is hard to be appreciative of this, but thats the way things are. We are building up a free encyclopedia with free images (not to mention the "fair use" image from the english wikipedia, but that's another story), we must make sure that everything is realy free. P.s.: please excuse my bad english, feel free to make corrections :) --Martin H. (talk) 02:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
