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.)

Preserving your Earl Holliman collection[edit]

BBB -- I have no idea how much merit there is to all these deletion nominations, and one never knows what the final decisions will be.

But, if you haven't already done so, you might want to download all the Holliman images to your computer, in the event that they are shortly removed from Commons. Regards -- WikiPedant (talk) 22:39, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to try ASAP but if I don't in time (depending on how fast these people want too erase everything) I hope it won't be such a task, starting over.--Black BIC Ballpoint (talk) 16:02, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. "These people" are users just like you and don't want "to erase everything"; just copyright violations in fact. Indeed the only way to get your files not deleted is to stop post copyrighted images. Besides and since Commons is a collaborative project you are strongly welcomed to explain your point of view in the deletion requests above. Yours, --Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:44, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the nominations appear to be arguing against {{PD-US-not renewed}} when the actual copyright tag used was {{PD-Pre1978}}. Additionally, some uses of {{PD-US-not renewed}} possibly ought to be {{PD-Pre1978}} anyway. Hohum (talk) 17:34, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bic-ster: Go to my User page, and click on "Email this user" and send me a one-sentence email. I'll answer back and we can talk privately a bit. (If you don't want to reveal your real email address, go to Hotmail or mail.com and set up an account for Black BIC Ballpoint, then email me from that account.) Regards -- WikiPedant (talk) 18:50, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I looked for it and I couldn't find an "ETU" button. If we do that, I will definitely set up a separate email too convey my own one.--Black BIC Ballpoint (talk) 19:28, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Right, sorry, I believe you first have to put your own email address in your own User preferences. -- WikiPedant (talk) 19:50, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP, check your Yahoo when you can, I sent an email right now using (name is going to be a pseudonym too).--Black BIC Ballpoint (talk) 20:35, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nice cropping[edit]

Hello BBB -- Glad to see you're working nicely with crop tool now. A few suggestions: (1) Don't crop too aggressively when converting to a portrait. Leave a little space above the head (say, about as much distance above the head as the distance between the top of the subject's eyes and the top of the mouth) and don't bring the sides in too tightly against the head; (2) Also, for portraits don't crop too much of the neck. Try to keep at least the base of the neck and maybe a little shoulder; (3) when creating a portrait from an original wider or taller shot that has existing usages, it's not a bad idea to create the portrait as a separate image (since the original may still work better in the contexts of some of the usages).

You're doing well. You know the old joke about how to get to Carnegie Hall -- Practice, practice, practice. Best -- WikiPedant (talk) 22:53, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. It's just a bit of playing but I still want too refer you once in a while for other things since you do much better than me, plus, what I've done really just been a shot in the dark truthfully. I hope you're well and will talk soon (whenever that maybe).--Black BIC Ballpoint (talk) 12:49, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jean Harlow image[edit]

Hi there — I just restored the original version of File:Jean-Harlow-1935.jpg and uploaded your cropped version as a separate file, File:Jean-Harlow-1935-cropped.jpg. It's usually a good idea to upload cropped versions as separate files when they're so great a change in the original image. The original photo is an iconic promotional still for Dinner at Eight, and a valuable image to keep around. — WFinch (talk) 02:29, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:PeterHaskell.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 {{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.

Thanks for uploading File:EHolliman1990s.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.

Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own).

The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:EHolliman1990s.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

That image is Pre-1978, no mark! It is public domain material as it is well over 45 years old plus the subject depicted has been deceased for almost three years. There is nothing wrong with that, the details have been updated accordingly, and I see no reason why this should be deleted nor be deemed a violation due to a misunderstanding concerning the licensing. Please let it stay in tact, there is no need to nominate it for deletion as there is nothing wrong with it all. Black BIC Ballpoint (talk) 21:13, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
