File copyright status

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. While everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the project, one or more of your file uploads had missing or false information regarding its source and copyright status. Please note that Wikimedia Commons takes copyright rules and infringement very seriously. Files may only be uploaded and included if their copyright status meets the conditions stated in our licensing policy, and if their provenance is clearly documented. Files that fail to meet those conditions may be deleted, and users who fail to meet them may be blocked. Please follow our first steps, if you haven't already. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the Village Pump copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ_{please ping or talk to me} 20:47, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Copyright

Hi DaLoetz, please note that there are a few maps you uploaded where I don't think you're the original creator. This is:

File:Ulrich von Zell Wirkungsorte.jpg (placing markers in a map doesn't make you the map creator, the original base map needs to be credited)
File:Breisgau zur Zeit der Karolinger Karte in "Badische Landes-Geschichte" v. Josef Bader, 18936.jpg and another similar file (I found via de-WP the dates of the creator and already changed the templates from PD-self to PD-old; could you please correct/add the publication years and book editions of your scan? I found "18936" and "1936", so I guess there are later editions?)

Thanks for your consideration! --Enyavar (talk) 15:55, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your precious comment. You are absolutely right in both points. When I uploaded these two files I just didn't know how to do it properly, that is to state where the maps come from. If you decide to delete these two items, I'll redo the files and upload them again with a description in accordance to Wiki rules. Will it be ok? DaLoetz (talk) 09:01, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

Please use sub-categories

dansk ∙ Deutsch ∙ Österreichisches Deutsch ∙ Schweizer Hochdeutsch ∙ Deutsch (Sie-Form) ∙ English ∙ español ∙ suomi ∙ français ∙ עברית ∙ magyar ∙ italiano ∙ 日本語 ∙ norsk bokmål ∙ Plattdüütsch ∙ Nederlands ∙ norsk ∙ polski ∙ português do Brasil ∙ русский ∙ sicilianu ∙ svenska ∙ +/−

When categorising files, please avoid placing them into several categories that are directly linked within the same tree (e.g. a parent category and a child category – like Category:United Kingdom and Category:London), to prevent over-categorization of files and over-population of categories. Usually, only the most specific category should be used. See Commons:Categories for more details. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:Agoniken poems by Stefan Zajonz front page.jpg. 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 {{self|cc-zero}} 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.

Re:Persea barbujana

This is quite young tree, so it has smooth bark. This species must reach quite a large size before the bark begins to crack (), and only then does it become flaky in older specimens (, ). Kenraiz (talk) 14:36, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much for a quick and competent reply. Much appreciated! I’ll check the sources again and have a closer look at my pics to see if they might be worth publishing. Greets DaLoetz (talk) 19:49, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
