Copyright status: File:B&D No. 2 'Francis,' fresh from the factory, sitting at Borate.JPG
[edit]This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:B&D No. 2 'Francis,' fresh from the factory, sitting at Borate.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. |

My reply: Okay... I know I got the pictures from the Mojave River Valley Museum and the map from David Myrick's book "Railroads of Nevada & Eastern California" Vol. 2, but how do I give the pictures a license?
I used to work on deviantART and post my pictures under a Creative Commons 3.0 license, so I know a tiny bit about these 'licenses' and I'm sure the photos follow the same guidelines. But I don't know how you add them to the photos after you upload them?
File:Mary Beal on board 'Marion' in Daggett 1910.JPG has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. |

I don't know who exactly made the photos, but I do know their original sources are the Mojave River Valley Museum, and the photo of Marion and Mary Beal in Daggett about 1910 was provided for by one of my friends who owned the original. They do allow the photos at the museum to be redistributed for the sake or retelling history, and I only intend to use the photos to promote and represent the history of the things the photos represent, so that more people could know more about it and get more interested in history.
I have also original sources and documents from books that I have in my collection, and from various sources I have gathered from the internet and from people who have archived the history I have researched over the years, I put it here on Wikipedia so that all may hear the right information and that all will know the true story.

Thanks for uploading File:Borate & Daggett Railroad Map.png. 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:Borate & Daggett Railroad Map.png]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

I doubt the map has a copyright holder, I got it out of the book 'Railroads of Nevada & Eastern California Volume II, 'The Southern Roads'. It's the best map I have and know of that has the narrow gauge railroads of Daggett for historical use on Wikipedia. I'm only trying to represent and promote the history of my hometown of Daggett, California the best I can. The website http://ttrr.org also uses the map, there's no copyright claim on it or nothing, see here: http://ttrr.org/bd_text/bdpb_001.html
It looks just like the map they have in the book, all they did was add a finger pointing to the mines at Borate. So I assumed it would be alright to use from the book if they put it on the website, and there's nothing on the site that said they had to ask permission to use it.

The reason I have neglected to put a copyright tag on this logo because I was unsure of which one to put on. This should be an authentic logo the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad Company used up till it's abandonment in 1946, and I wish to use this logo as there are no other alternatives available. If a copyright tag should be added, how would I add one as seen on the link to this logo? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Logo_of_the_Duluth,_Missabe_and_Iron_Range_Railway.png
