These historical photos are not necessarily in the public domain because of their age. They were done after 1937 and public domain means: Death of the photographer + 70 years. So if the photographer died in 1970, the image is not in the public domain until 2041. --Polarlys 21:13, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Fair use
[edit]Hello. Please stop uploading copyrighted content to Wikimedia Commons. Fair use is not allowed here. If you go on, you will be blocked. Thanks. guillom 11:25, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- If any free license could apply, you wouldn't need to claim fair use to be able to use them. Unfortunately, that is not the case. In this situation, we must wait until these images fall into the public domain. So you don't have the right to upload them to Commons before dozens of years. I'm sorry. guillom 12:19, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, it says public domain, so I think this one is ok. guillom 13:18, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Werner von Blomberg.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Werner von Blomberg.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

- The point is: This or similar photographies were done by German photographers. Protection period is 70 years after the author’s death in Germany/Europe. They scanned it from a book and released it in the public domain. Are they allowed to do so? I think no. --Polarlys 20:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 07:20, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
