Thanks for uploading File:Gdynia 1939.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.

File:FreeThaiLeaders.jpg (and other)[edit]
The file is not created by an employee of the United States Department of State. See your source. The selected template is not right, the source description is incomplete. The source says, the photo is from Seripharb Magazine #2/2538 (=1995 in gregorian calendar). It would be important now to check if there are any previous publications so that the file fulfills the copyright expiration terms for Thailand and the United States. Im not an expert, but according to Template:PD-1996 (US) and Template:PD-Thailand (50 years) evidence for publication before 1946 is required. Note that the date of creation isnt relevant. Ill remove the wrongful tag {{PD-USGov-DOS}} and mark the file as missing a copyright tag. --Martin H. (talk) 18:38, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Copyright violations[edit]
Hello Indy beetle.
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. |

- use in any work, regardless of content
- creation of derivative works
- commercial use
- free distribution
See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.
Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.And also:

- @User:Hedwig in Washington, with respect, I am outraged. How were these copyrighted!? I demand they immediately be restored. These photos were from blackpast.org, where, if one cared to follow the source link I provided, it stated in each of these articles that the photos were in the public domain. For example, the photo of Moise Tshombe: [1]. Indy beetle (talk) 05:32, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Hello! I wanted to finish before I leave a msg on your talk page. The website claims PD for everything, it seems they don't care much about copyright. The photograph you mentioned doesn't have a date, so could have been made 1969? That would indicate copyright protection until end of 2039. I am sorry that you fell into the trap of sloppy research (if done at all) by the website. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 05:44, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- thank you for the speedy response, @User talk:Hedwig in Washington. To be sure, the website doesn't claim PD on everything. For example, there is no listing on the licensing of this photo of Thomas Sankara: [2] (which is why I never uploaded it). Through brief research I haven't been able to locate these photos anywhere else on the web, so, at least superficially, I don't see any immediate conflicts on the licensing. As for the website's research, I can't confirm anything, but it does appear to have lots of contributors from universities. So is it not probable, or at the very least, plausible, that these photos could be in the public domain, as the website says? I see nothing which negates their claim, and, quite frankly, not enough evidence for me to question their sincerity. - Indy beetle (talk) 05:51, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Well, I guess that was a little overstated. Frankly, no license is not better than a wrong one. It still could be a copyright infringement. The photo of Sankara very likely is one. And no, being a student or even a professor at a university doesn't say anything about following the intellectual property laws. We have daily examples. If you like, you can request undeletion @ Com:UDR and have more peeps have a look at it. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 06:02, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Will do, then. As for the university thing, I was alluding to the possibility that these are individuals that have access to old archives and or other means to acquire them and/or the authority to release them into PD on the website. - Indy beetle (talk) 06:13, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Description[edit]
Hi, Indy beetle, do you know Who's Who on the image? The person in the middle (first row) is, (I guess) Sefu bin Hamid, the son of Tippu Tib, but who is Joseph Lippens and who is Henri De Bruyne (militair). Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 16:30, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hello @Lotje: . The person in the middle center is almost certainly Sefu. As for who is Lieutenant Lippens and Sergeant De Bruyne, the book doesn't say. This is the only photograph of either of them I know to exist. Perhaps one could find out by examining that memorial that has their statues? Other than that I'd say it's up in the air. Good luck! -Indy beetle (talk) 23:07, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks Indy beetle. As you suggest, the best way to find out is to examine the memorial that has their statues, in Blankenberge! Lotje (talk) 06:03, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
File tagging File:Thomas Kanza.jpg[edit]
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Thomas Kanza.jpg. 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). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you. |

@Arthur Crbz: If you scroll to the bottom of the webpage [3], you will find a declaration which says "Convention with Wikiafrica / Wikipedia : Southplanet's contents are shared for free according to the licence Creative commons [link to CC 3 Attribution & ShareAlike]". It does then proceed to note "Some artistic content (photos, videos, sound recordings, written texts) is subject to copyright. Copyright is mentioned when and where it applies. Copyrighted material cannot be reproduced." (emphasis added) On this page there was no "mention" of copyright to the photo. I looked at some other profiles on the site and when they retrieve the photo from elsewhere they provide a link or otherwise. Here, it would seem that someone just uploaded a new photo themselves. And since there was no explicit mention of copyright application to the photo, it falls under the CC 3 licensing. -Indy beetle (talk) 16:53, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Jesse O. Sanderson.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.

File:Emmerson Mnangagwa presidential inauguration.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. 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 has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

Copyright status: File:William A. Graham III.jpg[edit]
Copyright status: File:William A. Graham III.jpg
This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:William A. Graham III.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. |

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Congo Crisis collage.jpg[edit]
This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Congo Crisis collage.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! |
