Thanks for uploading File:Bibb Manufacturing - Columbus plant - inside.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.

@Magog the Ogre: I am new to this process. I found the pictures on the Library of Congress site. This said they came from https://www.nps.gov/hdp/coll.htm. This page on the NPS web site says they are in the public domain: https://www.loc.gov/rr/print/res/114_habs.html. Is this not sufficient? Did I do something wrong in the uploading process? Lizrileymga (talk) 19:01, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is sufficient. However, it needs a license template. I've provided an example here: Special:Diff/397184934. You can do the same on the other images. You can also remove the no license tag once you've addressed the issue.
Also, welcome to Commons. We always recommend uploading with the highest resolution possible. If necessary, you can scale down the thumb on the local project. 150px is definitely not the highest resolution; in fact, it's hardly visible on the screen. You should be able to upload over the existing images with a higher resolution.
