Thanks for uploading File:Igor Kirillov scoooter bomb video.webm. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own).

Thanks for uploading File:President Harding and Calvin Coolidge.webm. 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 {{self|cc-zero}} 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. |

Please take a look at both and you'll see how to link different versions of files. Also the new version was not uploaded from Flickr, so that tag shouldn't be on it. Instead use the source link to the original file here on Commons. --Cart (talk) 12:28, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

JPG & TIF
JPG and TIF versions of the same files (fairly common for LOC and other older US Gov works) are not generally considered "duplicates" to be deleted; they should be linked to each other as "other version" field. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 18:10, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Infrogmation, ordinarily I'd be inclined to agree, but File:ColoredSailersRoomWWINOLA.jpg is far lower-resolution. NARA provides full-resolution JPEGs, but this is simply a needlessly scaled-down version. JayCubby (talk) 18:13, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- Also, note that LOC has been gradually uploading more and higher res versions of old photos to their website. Versions uploaded more than a decade ago were often the highest res publicly available at the time uploaded. If better versions are now available and the old version is in use, overwriting with higher res of same is often a good solution. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 18:16, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
Emmett Till
@JayCubby - According to the Commons description, the photo below of Emmett Till's parents was "named by Time magazine in 2016 as one of the 100 most influential photos of all time." Is it possible and worth you restoring and submitting for FP? (I don't have the tools/skills to restore.) - ERcheck (talk) 05:59, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
- @ERcheck, the highest-resolution version I could find is this. Your thoughts? The image you suggested doesn't really need restoration, too. JayCubby (talk) 17:25, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
- One of Time magazine's most influential photos
Your duplicate suggestions
Hello @JayCubby
Perhaps you've sometimes wondered why I reject the requests. The images are mostly from a time when there were no better versions of them, like the Gandhi image from just now. Such images shouldn't be deleted on Commons, but rather tagged with "other version." Nevertheless, I think your version is better; I'd be happy to replace it in the different language versions for you. Regards: זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 17:36, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

- @A.Savin, would you say that you are involved in the dispute? JayCubby (talk) 20:49, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- How do you mean that involved? As said, some of the RfD's were justified, while some others were not. But the fact that you were targeting Andy is obvious, because, otherwise you surely would have nominated images with more care and there were no nonsensical rquests like this one --A.Savin 20:56, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- @A.Savin, I would not call that nonsensical. My nominations may not have been perfect in all cases, but that is no reason for a block. If you look in my deletion request history, I have a slightly different view, which I'm working to correct, of what is considered DM. I have never been sanctioned for deletion request that fails, because there is at least valid reasoning behind each one.
- By involved,
- "I myself am being stalked by 1989 and Christian Ferrer, so I know very well what it is about"
- Is the relevant quote. You are actively involved in a dispute which you consider similar, and may not be in a place to assess potentially similar cases.
- yes, I was targeting andy. I was doing so in the sense that I was going over his uploads. I was not stalking him, nor was I intending to harass it. JayCubby (talk) 21:07, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- It means then, my "involvement" is limited to the fact that I know how it feels if someone is monitoring your edits in order to do something against you, while most other admins actually don't know what it is (and as a result, we have what we have). So I think with 3 days it's a very mild sanction and I have chosen that deliberately, given the fact that some RfD's are ~in order --A.Savin 21:33, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- @A.Savin, your involvement is more than past experience. You have made extensive, and are currently making them, in a thread pertaining to stalking.
- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard/User_problems#c-A.Savin-20250726092800-User:1989
- considering that a user has already complained about my block, and that there have been substantial complaints about your previous actions, to the point where there's a UCOC case, are all good signs that this block should not have been made at all. JayCubby (talk) 22:58, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
