Willa Cather medallion

edit

Hello. I'm not sure if you still edit Wikipedia, but I wanted to leave you a question in case you do. I created an article entitled American Arts Commemorative Series medallions, and I need a close-up image of one of the medallions from the series. I noticed you uploaded an image of one in the box. That image is helpful, but I feel that a close-up would make all the difference, because the article looks a little bare right now. If you have some close-up obverse/reverse (front and back) images of the medallion, could you please consider uploading them to Wikipedia or Commons? Thank you very much for your time!-RHM22 (talk) 03:59, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Two files uploaded. That should help you.

Wow, thank you! Those are perfect. I'm going to edit them to remove the background. Thanks again, your help is extremely appreciated!-RHM22 (talk) 15:16, 30 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:KwikEmartmv.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:KwikEmartmv.jpg, which you've attributed to John Pilge. 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. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 15:09, 24 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
