Hi! I assume you changed the category to kept by mistake [1]? Hope you still can remember which file you wanted to update. :-) Best, --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 14:16, 5 September 2015 (UTC) Actually,I thought the discussion had decided to keep the image (didn't they get permission or something? It's not mentioned on that page,but it is on another (I forget which one.) Hop on Bananas (talk) 03:08, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
- Can't image how, it's a recent work and not covered by FOP. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 04:19, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
Here. Scroll down to the last comment. Hop on Bananas (talk) 13:17, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
- This was an attempt go get permission or determine the age of the sculpture. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 03:34, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
I thought that comment was a permission notice and that they got permission from the NHA Research Library (who I thought was the copyright holder, but probably isn't) and wondered why the discussion was closed as a delete. Hop on Bananas (talk) 19:29, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- No worries, just a good ol' misunderstanding. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 22:49, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Hello!
Thank you for uploading File:1MartianWayLogo.jpg to the Wikimedia Commons. I noticed that when you uploaded from another Wikimedia project, you left out some important information, or copied it incorrectly. In the future, please consider using CommonsHelper, a tool which automates the process of moving files over. Thank you,

So I tried to move this image to Commons, but the uploader said
ERROR:
Error:bad prefix
Is there something in the filename that's causing this or what? Hop on Bananas (talk) 02:47, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
(Edit:Fuck it, how do I make a potholed link to en-wp)?
Never mind, I changed the filename. Hop on Bananas (talk) 23:04, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Uploads
editIn future please make sure to add the correct licence tag to any images you upload. It must be the same as the source licence. I fixed File:Unknown Dinosaur Footprint 2007.jpg for you. Thanks Ww2censor (talk) 13:16, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
Anefo
editDear Hop on Bananas,
Anefo was a Dutch photo agency founded by the "Militair Gezag" during world war two. Their photographers created a lot off press photographs over the years and a lot famous photographers worked for them. Anefo was the copyright holder of those photographs. In 1989 it ceased to exist. The copyright and the collection where transfered to the Dutch National Archive via the Netherlands Government Information Service. (the Netherlands Government Information Service was the copyright holder of the collection for a while) Anefo however, always gave their photgraphers credit. This is why the release of so many photographs of different photographers via the national archive is legit. There are some photographs from other collections which are also released under a free license but that's another story. I hope this clarifies it. For further readin please follow this link. Natuur12 (talk) 19:21, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
It's been a while. Yes, a national archive should know enough about copyright to not tag a copyvio image as CC-BY SA. However, there was no indication on the file page on Commons or the source page about just why the image was CC-BY SA. (If you know why the image is CC-BY SA and don't wan't people thinking it's a copyvio, put the info on the file page. Better, make a template for all the images in question - I suggested that in the DR). Something like:
"CC-Anefo
This image was originally created by Anefo, who transferred the copyright on all of their images to the Dutch National Archive upon folding in 1989. The latter later licensed these images under the CC-BY SA license (I forget the exact license). As such, all of these images, including this one, are freely usable with attribution."
- Something along those lines. Hop on Bananas (talk) 14:43, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
