Thanks for your note.

I it take that this was an image you scanned of a very old book. Explain the situation to User:Naconkantari. He might undelete the image. Ask his advice has to how to proceed.


I would recommend the following. Read Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags#Fair_use. It has more copyright image tags than I can comprehend. You could try putting a {{PD-old}} tag on when you re-upload the image or if it is undeleted. In the description part and the discussion page put all the information you have about the image, ie ""scanned by me from a very old book. Only image available to illustrate the subject."" That sort of thing. As much detail as you have.

Another possibility is {{HistoricPhoto}}, with the same description info. It is not a photo, but the historic necessity part is the same. It would be a fairuse tag, and we don't like fairuse. We much prefer public domain. If the book is very old, it is probably in the public domain. Hope that helps. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 13:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
