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?

Problem with your uploads

I hope you can understand Estonian, at least to some extent. There is a problem (actually several) with uploading pictures from MUIS, I have written on it in some length. To sum it up for you and everybody else here:

1. Although museums' database MUIS says on its rights' page it uses CC0 1.0, it continues with demands that are incompatible with CC0 1.0.
   1. It is demanded that if any of their digital copies are used, one should refer to the museum in quite some length (there is an example on the rights' page).
   2. Commercial use is forbidden, or at least part of it (it depends if we interpret the wording as a strict rule or as just one example of forbidden activities).
2. It is said (albeit, as we can see from your own activity, not clearly enough) that all this concerns only the copyright of the photographs, and that one should ask permission from the original's rights' owner separately. For example, for the self-portrait of Endel Kõks (d. 1983), one should ask from his inheritors. There is no reference to who those might be on the portrait's MUIS page, so most likely these rights do not belong to the museum (although they might know who to ask from, good luck in writing them). The case is even worse for the building of Pallas, as its use in Wikipedia most likely infringes the rights of photographer Eduard Selleke (d. 1976) and the architect (whose name I don't yet know).

Hence, these pictures are not suitable, because:

1. photos are not actually published under a free licence (yes, the creators of MUIS do not understand what a free licence means, but their confusion is no excuse for us);
2. on top of that, many of these depict works of art that are still protected by copyright.

As sorry as I'm to say this, we have to look them over and either ask for permission from many people, or take them down. --Oop (talk) 12:04, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
