File permission problem with File:W history 1.gif

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:W history 1.gif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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 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-enwikimedia.org.

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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 04:34, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Border Campaign (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I don't believe I did edit the Royal Yeomanry wasn't a regiment and how can I know if you really commanded the regiment? BlueD954 (talk) 08:56, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

What do you mean when you say that the Royal Yeomanry wasn't a regiment, though? It is a regiment. Raised in 1967, still in existence now. See here:

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Royal Yeomanry you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Open Government Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:09, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for this. I did not realise that attribution was required if a reference was given, especially in the case of government publications. Would it have been better to quote the text and give a reference?

Royal Yeomanry - Commanding officers

Hi - I see you have inserted a very useful table of commanding officers. At present the table is unsourced but I suspect that you obtained the information from Army Lists. Assuming that is the case please could you insert a citation referring to "Army Lists" to avoid the table being removed (which would be a pity). Many thanks, Dormskirk (talk) 18:25, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi. The information is on the wall of Regimental Headquarters Royal Yeomanry. I have taken a photograph and will upload it to the Commons. Mr Benn (talk) 14:04, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Great. Many thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 14:11, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
