Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Rodaregal!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

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? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Thanks for uploading File:Cameron, Barbara (1996) - by Robert Giard - Copyright Estate of Robert Giard.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.

I have permission to upload this image for the Barbara May Cameron wikipedia page.

Email from Johnathon Silin copyright holder of the photograph of "Cameron, Barbara" by Robert Giard:

Hi Rodrigo,

Thank you for contacting me.Yes, you have my permission to use Robert Giard’s photograph of Barbara Cameron on her Wikipedia page. Here are the stipulations;

1) The image may not be cropped or altered without my express permission.

2) Next to the image it must say, “Photo by Robert Giard; Copyright Estate of Robert Giard.”

3) You may not use the photo for any other purposes without my express permission.

The image is from 1996 and I believe made in San Francisco.

You will find a high res version of the photo on the Bienecke Library Digital site. There is no charge for use on the Wikipedia page.

All my best, Jonathan Rodaregal (talk) 13:19, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Rodaregal. The permission statement you've provided above is insufficient for Commons' purposes for the reasons explained here, here and here. The restrictions placed upon the reuse of the file by its copyright holder are too strict for Commmons purposes. You can explain this to the copyright holder if you want, and perhaps they will agree to release the photo under less restrictive terms; however, if they don't want to do so, the file will need to be deleted. -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:55, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
