Orphaned non-free media (File:Calvert Hall HS logo.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Calvert Hall HS logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:06, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:BDA airport logo.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Eeekster (talk) 01:03, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Rex Humbard.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

File permission problem with File:Douglas Major.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Douglas Major.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

Thank you for uploading File:BDA causewy.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

I'm sorry for all the sudden hassle with the images. As part of a long-term project I've been moving images with the {{attribution}} license over to Commons. I've run across your photos there periodically, and since you are a long-term trusted user with many excellent photo uploads, I decided to move all of yours over immediately, so I pulled up your upload log and had a run through it. I do want to say "thanks" for your excellent image contributions, and I'm sorry again for the hassle. I think the only free images I didn't move over were the PD-Pre1978 ones; I'm still finding my way around copyright law and my comfort zone with those. With respect - Kellyhi!21:34, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for this, Kellyhi!, it's greatly appreciated. I'm not nearly as active on Wikipedia as formerly, now spending more time as a Commons admin deleting copyvios there (ironically). JGHowes talk01:12, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
Possibly unfree File:WellsSpicer.JPG
Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:WellsSpicer.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or `disputed. An editor believes that because the photo taken before 1885 does not have an author or an initial publication date, it should be removed. This is true of many, many Old West images. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it and many others like it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you object to the listing for any reason. Thank you. — btphelps(talk to me) (what I've done)22:37, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
