Possibly unfree File:Hitler jugend.jpg

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Hitler jugend.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Kelly 01:37, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

It certainly shouldn't be deleted as it's of historic significance (much cited example of Nazi attempts to brainwash the Third Reich's youth) though whether it needs the high res version User:Thisglad uploaded is another matter: there's an earlier 47K which may suffice. Anyhow I've replied/commented here.  Roger Davies 13:33, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

File:Fredcopeman.jpg listed for deletion

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Fredcopeman.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Files for deletion.

Commented here. There was a flier with the picture and it appeared twice in the subject's autobiography which would be mean it qualifies as NFCC/promotional but this is so long ago I can't find the relevant bits. Feel free to craft something if you're interested.  Roger Davies 13:49, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Welsh Dragon Memorial Mametz Wood.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Welsh Dragon Memorial Mametz Wood.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly 01:54, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

This seems to be entirely about French freedom of panorama thing and nothing to do with NFCC. I've no idea how newbies are supposed to respond to these templates when a short explanatory note would be better. Anyhow, I've tracked down the artist (David Petersen (sculptor)) and will see what he says about an OTRS release. The two dragon images probably need to have their histories merged as File:Welsh Dragon Memorial Mametz Wood (original).jpg and File:Welsh Dragon Memorial Mametz Wood.jpg are the same image for copyright purposes.  Roger Davies 14:15, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Return to editing

Hi, Roger. It is more than a year since I voluntarily withdrew from the topic of climate change. As I put it back then, I'd like to dip my toes back into the water. I said at the time that I would seek a nod of approval from a member of ArbCom before doing anything, so here I am. What say you, sir? -- Scjessey (talk) 12:54, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

On the basis that you're a year older, and - I dare say - a year wiser, it sounds fine to me ;) However, restriction is permanent and you're instructed to abide by it, so you'll need ArbCom's collective okay before you edit in the topic. Best place to ask is here.  Roger Davies 13:06, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm confused. If the restriction was voluntary, why do I need to seek ArbCom's collective okay? No sanction was imposed upon me. -- Scjessey (talk) 14:29, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

It was voluntary but, per standard ArbCom practice, it became binding. This is because some people (and I'm not saying you) withdraw one day and return the next. I did though mention this before the thing was finalised in this discussion, though that may have slipped your mind. I don't have the authority to okay your return to editing within the topic on my own.  Roger Davies 14:50, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Okay. I didn't really understand that at the time, but no matter. I will do as you suggest :) -- Scjessey (talk) 14:56, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Per your suggestion, I have requested amendment. Thank you for your help. -- Scjessey (talk) 15:35, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
