  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Whpq (talk) 16:12, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Abbot Library on Brook Road 2022.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Abbot Library on Brook Road 2022.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

  • 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 {{permission 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. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 16:02, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Abbot Library at Abbot Hall1950.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Abbot Library at Abbot Hall1950.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 16:11, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Images and licensing

edit

Hi,

The images you received from Cassandra Sprague require verification of permission/license. See Dontaing Copyright Material and have teh photogrpaher provide the permission in order for these images to be kept. As for the historical images, as nonn-free content, they must meet all of the non-free content criteria in order to be used. Non-free content is not allowed in drafts (See WP:NFCC#9). As well, even when the library article is in main space, I do not think that the usage would meet with significant context needed (see WP:NFCC#8). Wikipedia licensing, and non-free content policy can be very confusing. If you have questions or need help with it, you can ask at Media Copyright Questions, and for more general editing help, you can ask at the Teahouse. -- Whpq (talk) 16:18, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
