• Comments: this is really hard I'm trying to create my own personal acting Wikipedia page and it won't allow me to upload my picture Paul E Ford (talk) 01:01, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

@Paul E Ford: The image might be too small; why are you not uploading the full resolution photo? This filter is intended to avoid copyright issues with images "simply taken from Google Images" with a low resolution and low encyclopedic value. In this specific case, it might have been a false positive -- but it didn't need to: Uploading the full resolution will hopefully not cause this problem. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:36, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

• Comments: No comments Asm editor37 (talk) 16:46, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

@Asm editor37: The filter was likely absolutely correct: As an employee, you do not have the necessary rights to release your employer's trademarked logo under a free license, granting all people in the world, irrevocably, free public commercial use of the image. This is very unlikely what the copyright owner wanted, and it is also relatively unlikely to have been your intention. The warning has a reason, and ignoring it causes more work than listening to it. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:33, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

• Edit kind: Uploading an audiofile about the final report of Wilhelm Prince of Prussia
• Comments: I created the audiofile within the context of a seminar of the University of Marburg. The transcription of the original report was made by another student of the seminar, the source is stored in the archives of the University Marburg. The transcript of the original report has been contributed to Wikisource (https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Zeugnis_der_Reife_des_Prinzen_Wilhelm_von_Preußen_(späterer_Kaiser_Wilhelm_II.)). Since Marburg has a great tradition of integrating blind people in academic society my audiofile was supposed to contribute to this tradition by reading the source so blind people could work with it.

Hence, I would highly appreciate your help in uploading this file since it has been blocked from any upload I tried till now (both as an ogg. file and mp3. file).

Kind regards

• Edit kind: I was trying to upload a photo of my great uncle Bishop John William Comber. I am in possession of numerous original photos taken of my great uncle but I am unable to upload any of them as I am uncertain of the copyrights regarding these old original photos by photographers who are probably no longer living. Then I tried to upload a photo that I know that either my father or my long passed grandfather took of my great uncle. I am certain that my father nor my long dead grandfather would object to my use of the photo. However, this photo was also rejected. I am wondering how photos taken by people who are no longer living are able to be published on websites. I also have some outstanding photos of my uncle including one photos taken of him with the Pope in 1957. I don't know who owns the copyrights to photos taken by photographers who are no longer living. Do I not have rights to old original photos that I and my family are the owners of? Do I even rights to a photo taken by a relative now passed. Obviously, I cannot acquire permission from someone who is no longer living.
