[edit] Jenny Lind

I got your email. If you follow the link to the image description page at Image:Jenny_Lind_retouched.jpg you'll see a Digital archive url link to the original LoC image ( http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3c10191 ) which includes a link to the original 12 megabyte TIFF, which I based the retouched version of the image. I too share your concern about the original versions of images - however we only really have the space in wikipedia to host and display a single version of any given image, and we are using the images to illustrate the subjects of articles, rather than document the images themselves. Please update the image description page (linked above) with any additional source information about the image (and ideally where the information came from). Looking forward to working with you in future. Megapixie 13:33, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

==Unspecified source for Image:Jenny Lind Signature 1850.jpg==

Thanks for uploading Image:Jenny Lind Signature 1850.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Iamunknown 20:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Swedish 50 Krona.jpg

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Swedish 50 Krona.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Swedish 50 Krona.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:53, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
