I found your edit fascinating, but I removed it because it doesn't meet our policy of WP:Verifiability as it stands, and was original research see WP:NOT#OR and WP:OR. If you can source it (WP:RS is a guide to the criteria for sources) it would be an excellent addition to the article. Let me know if you have any questions.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Julius-aa Weiblicher Halbakt-a-VELLUM-1 Mannheim.JPG

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Julius-aa Weiblicher Halbakt-a-VELLUM-1 Mannheim.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 16:48, 30 September 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Acather96 (talk) 16:48, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello. If this image is a sketch by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, it is in the public domain since he died in 1872. The copyright term today in Germany is 70 years from the death of the author, so that would take us to 1943. The image can be tagged with the {{PD-art}} license template, and it should use the {{Information}} template to contain information on the title, artist, date of creation, where the original is kept and where this copy came from. The non-free template you used is only for copyrighted images. Wikipedia:Image use policy explains the basics of uploading images, picking licenses, and so on. Please let me know if you have any questions, Angus McLellan (Talk) 16:53, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Please don't write stuff like "It should be noted, however...." It's not encyclopedic writing. Just state the facts "No scientific research has been done on the vellum...etc" is quite sufficient.

Your question

I'd suggest asking questions like this at the Wikipedia:Help desk. You'll get faster responses there (I'm pretty busy with other things) and they can answer almost any question about using Wikipedia, including technical issues I may not have a lot of knowledge about.

File permission problem with File:Fred-Dwan 4 June 4, 2018 edit 2.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Fred-Dwan 4 June 4, 2018 edit 2.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 05:46, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
