Copyright status: File:LondonBigBenNYE2011-12.jpg
[edit]Copyright status: File:LondonBigBenNYE2011-12.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:LondonBigBenNYE2011-12.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 KeyKing666.
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. |

Logo licenses
[edit]Hi,
I notice you uploaded various logos (of TV programmes and other things). If these are official, then I'm guessing they're not your own work as the license claims, and they're probably copyrighted in the UK. Unfortunately, this means they're likely to be deleted.
To cut a long story short... Commons is only for works that are freely-usable in *both* the country of origin and the US. If you want to use them at English Wikipedia under "fair use"- as happens with lots of logos- you can probably do so. However, you'll have to upload them directly there, since Commons isn't suitable for "fair use" images.
I argued against the deletion of some of the photos you took yourself (listed here), since I didn't believe B_dash had made a strong enough case that they were copyright violations.
Unfortunately, the logos above are a completely different kettle of fish, legally speaking, since they weren't yours originally. If you disagree with what I said, can you please amend the license to make their legal status clear? Thanks.
I appreciate that all this is a confusing nuisance, but unfortunately that's sometimes how it is with third party content. The only real way to avoid it is to stick to uploading your own work. Sorry.

- A modified version of this collage- fixing the licensing problems with the original- is now at File:Dundee Picture Collage (new).jpg.
- It includes the picture of V&A Dundee you'd already used. Unfortunately, at the time the original collage was deleted we had no evidence that it (or your picture of the Discovery) had been freely-licensed. (I only discovered that by coincidence when I was looking for a replacement).
- Please include sources and credit if you're uploading pictures taken by other people, as we need this to avoid them being marked as copyright violations.
- Thanks, and thank you for your effort.

Wikimedia Commons does not accept derivative works of non-free works such as File:LoveNotLovingYou Foxes.jpg. It only accepts free content, which is images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Reproductions of copyrighted works are also subject to the same copyright, and therefore this file must unfortunately be considered non-free. For more information, please read Commons:Derivative works and Commons:Freedom of panorama. You can ask questions about Commons policies in Commons:Help desk.
The file you added has been deleted. If you believe that this file was not a derivative work of a non-free work, you may request undeletion.

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.Elisfkc (talk) 17:43, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
