You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Carte de Freycinet (1811), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a foreign language article that was copied and pasted from another Wikimedia project, or was transwikied out to another project. Please see Wikipedia:Translation to learn about requests for, and coordination of, translations from foreign-language Wikipedias into English.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Solomon7968 (talk) 05:42, 28 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Deletion pending for File:Unique portrait J.H.Scheltema, B&W.jpg

edit

Hello, Peter Reynders. Some time ago, a file you uploaded — File:Unique portrait J.H.Scheltema, B&W.jpg — was tagged with {{OTRS pending}}, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.

  • If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.
  • If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 15:38, 27 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Unique portrait J.H.Scheltema, B&W.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Unique portrait J.H.Scheltema, B&W.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. Hi, The photo is now used by a number of collections including the RKD in The Hague. The branch of the family in Holland who owned that photograph of Scheltema sitting in a creek bed has died out. The family collection it was part of was brought to Australia by me as requested by the heir, who is not a blood relative of the late artist, but somehow inherited this by marriage of his late mother. Part of it has now been donated to the manuscript collection of the State Library of Victoria with the provision that I could continue to use its parts for my projects without having to go back to the S.L.V. for copyright every time I use some of it. I have scans of the lot and am translating the letters to English (also for them) as a hobby. It will take a while as it concerns about 800 pages... The Dutch heir wanted me to find a 'good home' for the various parts in Australia, providing me with a signed document that I represented him in Australia. I did and documented all with/for him, as he is not keen on administrative matters, but signed all ownership rights to the places where this ended up. The paintings and studies involved are now -in the ownership of- the Gippsland Art Gallery, in Sale, Victoria, Australia, who funded the transport. See: https://www.gippslandartgallery.com/exhibition/jan-hendrik-scheltema-the-lost-impressionist/ please scroll down to see them. Sorry for making this so complicated. Cheers, Peter Reynders. 3/30/'20 1.23 p.m.(Peter Reynders (talk) 04:03, 30 March 2020 (UTC)) If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please eitherReply

  • 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 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jan Hendrik Scheltema, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alphington (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.) Hallo, The tiny painting copied on this site showing an ancient foreground tree, I have owned from May 2019. Permission to use it on this wiki entry may have been provided by a former owner, not by me. I would still provide permission if that would be desirable. I don't know who took the photo or who provided it. My research found the subject site was at Alphington in the 19th century (now a Melbourne suburb).
