Thanks for uploading File:Brodie Smith (Frisbee) - head shot.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

License tagging for File:Brodie Smith (Frisbee) - head shot.jpg.JPG

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Brodie Smith (Frisbee) - head shot.jpg.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 08:05, 13 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Brodie Smith (Frisbee) - head shot.jpg.JPG

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Brodie Smith (Frisbee) - head shot.jpg.JPG, which you've attributed to Source: Brodie Smith used with permission. 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

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Diannaa (talk) 02:53, 14 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Possibly unfree files

edit

Some of your files may be unfree. See Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2014 February 23#OTRS pending since October. --Stefan2 (talk) 17:33, 23 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

I have no idea why you think this or how to proceed. The person depicted in the photo took the picture of himself and then gave it to me to use with his permission. This file is not 'unfree' whatever that term means.Jlsmith5963 (talk) 22:46, 23 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
