Thanks for uploading File:Top view of a Channel-Matic cartridge.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 {{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. |

- Hello Yann, nice to meet you. As I'm new to wiki (but not to publishing or copyright), from what I understand, images from old advertisements of defunct companies in defunct media sources are in the public domain for non-commerical usage, when the owner of the work passed away or abandoned all rights to the work. Can you clarify this for me? Jeffreebenet (talk) 12:07, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, are you not aware that creative works from the USSR are all in the public domain? https://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/notifications/berne/treaty_berne_162.html Jeffreebenet (talk) 13:37, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
- please ignore my last comment, it was for another image. Jeffreebenet (talk) 13:39, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:ПЕРСОНАЛЬНАЯ ВЫСТАВКА БЕККЕР Д. Ю..jpg

| This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:ПЕРСОНАЛЬНАЯ ВЫСТАВКА БЕККЕР Д. Ю..jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |
