Copyright status: File:Chicago Fire SC Logo.png
[edit]Copyright status: File:Chicago Fire SC Logo.png
This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Chicago Fire SC Logo.png. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

Hi Ahmad @Ahmad252: . Both these images represent soccer team logos. Every wikipedia page I've seen has the club logos, so I figured these were acceptable to upload as part of 'fair use'. Is this the case? If yes, what extra steps would I need to add to ensure they do not get deleted (if they are indeed allowed). If they are not allowed, I apologize. RedPatchBoys (talk) 21:38, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
I just uploaded the Nagold image just now using the Wikipedia upload file. I had opened up the Manchester United image file and tried to use that as a guide, but don't think I did it in the exact same way. I don't really know the process for items like team logos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:VfL_Nagold_Crest.jpg Kindly let me know if I am doing something wrong. I am not trying to violate copyright. RedPatchBoys (talk) 21:56, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
[edit]In other languages (translate this)
|
---|
|
Thank you for uploading some images!
Did you know that Wikimedia Commons recommends the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format for certain types of images? Scalable Vector Graphics are designed to look appropriate at any scale, and SVG images are easier to modify and translate, helping Wikimedia to distribute knowledge to all of the world. A lot of modern programs support SVG export. If you encountered problems or have questions, don't hesitate to ask me, a member of the Graphic Lab, or the Graphics village pump. Uploading images in SVG format isn't mandatory, but it would help. (To avoid any misunderstandings, please don't just put raster images into an SVG container as embedded raster.) Thanks, and happy editing!

File:Urbantoronto-10548-37917.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

:Gbawden, I looked at the attached link, but can't figure out how to add the permission, but at the bottom of the website's homepage (as well as the ones above) - https://www.rocketrobinsoccerintoronto.com/ - it says "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.". I also have e-mail permission from the uploader. How do I add it? RedPatch (talk) 14:25, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

The source has been vetted on the Commons already which includes the 4.0 licensing on the website homepage plus an email from the creator on record as allowing all his photos on the site to be used.

Autopatrol
[edit]Hello redpatch, sorry for the CSD mistag (looks like I'm not first, but hopefully the last) Your upload quality is amazing and your edits don't need regular patroling, can you please request autopatrol at RFR? Your (fantastic) edits clog up the patrol lists, and you getting autopatrol would decrease the work on patrollers. Thanks for your contributions! All the Best -- Chuck Talk 16:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Done. Thanks for the recommendation. RedPatch (talk) 18:19, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
