Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed?

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:NileKinnickSculptue.jpg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:NileKinnickSculptue.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Of the images File:NileKinnickSculptue.jpg is the most important and useful to be released now. How did I do with the explanation in the additional information? If this does not work then we can work through our family foundation to re-submit the images that are taken down. I understand that there is a possibility that a new name may have to be used to make that work. My time is limited so I will try to take care of the other images when possible.

The copyright of a photo typically belongs to the person who takes it; so, unless you actually took this photo yourself, it's not your work and you can't upload it without providing some way to verify the copyright holder's consent per COM:VRT#If you are NOT the copyright holder. The copyright of a photo can be transferred by its copyright holder to a third-party if they want, but usually some sort of formal agreement is needed that can be verified. So, if you didn't take the photo yourself, but the copyright holder subsequently transferred their rights to you, you will need to provide some formal verification of this per COM:VRT#licensing images: when do I contact VRT?. That's just for the photo itself and things can actually be trickier when the subject of a photograph is someone else's creative work. If you just scanned or photographed someone else's photograph, then that's insufficient to generate a separate new copyright for you and all that matters is the copyright of the original work. If you photograph someone else creative work (e.g. a sculpture) and create a derivative work by doing so, then your derivative work is eligible copyright protection in its own right that is separate and distinct from the copyright of the subject of the photo, but it doesn't void the copyright of the work you photograph. In such a case, it would need to be clearly demonstrated that the subject of the photo has either been released under a free license, is no longer eligible for copyright protection, or never was eligible for copyright protection in order for Commons to keep the photo. In the case of a photograph of bust, it's not automatically unprotected by copyright just because you don't know who created the bust or because the bust no longer exists. Much like in the case of a person or a company, intellectual rights don't automatically disappear when someone dies or a company ceases to exist. Those rights usually pass on to other parties as part of someone's estate or part of a transfer of ownership. So, just because something no longer exists, images of it don't automatically lose their copyright protection. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:27, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
