 * Can you be more specific? Which picture are you talking about, and on which site (Wikipedia or Commons?)
 * Sorry.  As you can tell, I'm new to editing, and was (am) having trouble figuring out the details, especially with licensing and photos.   I tried a few things, and was, for the moment, mostly trying to get actual display formatting working.   I believe the images I'll be working with for this topic (NARIT) are all PD, at least for now.   (Images will stay PD, of course - I mean that I might later add other images, which won't necessarily be as free - I'll deal with those then).   I do need to confirm that, since the description in the existing template doesn't fit precisely.   (Although if the images in question aren't PD, they are still permissively licensed - I'll just need to figure out exactly which license).   One of the images (NARIT logo) should also be PD-textlogo ...   Thanks. Drswik (talk) 03:29, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

I suggest you scan slowly through your upload logs on Wikipedia and Commons and take an educated guess as to which image I might be referring to. I cannot see how PD-TH-exempt could possibly apply to the image and I do not see why it was not uploaded to Commons (that is a big hint as to which image!). &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:41, 14 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, yes.  OK, thanks for linking the logs.   I actually did look for those; now I see the link in my sidebar, don't know how I missed it before.   And yes, now I see which picture you mean.   So, OK, fair point that it could go on Commons instead of Wikipedia.
 * "Could possibly"?  Well ... works of the government / a government agency - or Category 3 of the list on the PD-TH-exempt page (or, at a slightly greater stretch, Cat 1).   Seems to me like that  fits, although as I've expressed I'm not at all sure that's the best fit.   I was/am going to try to confirm that (or find something better) before putting it in mainspace; of course, any suggestions would be welcome.
 * I don't remember tagging it as 'F3'.  Did I do that, or did you put that when you removed it?
 * Also - maybe I'm going about this the wrong way.  I was trying to play in my sandbox and get everything lined up before 'going live'.   Is there somewhere else I should've uploaded these images as a temporary scratch space?   Thanks  Drswik (talk) 04:49, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

I repeat PD-TH-exempt simply does not apply. File:TNObsv insideDome 0.png does not fit Cat 3 at all and as for Cat 1, that specifically excludes "work in the scientific or artistic domain" which this image obviously is. You did (indirectly) specify F3 when you uploaded it: you selected "the copyright holder gave me permission to use this work only in Wikipedia articles" from MediaWiki:Licenses when you uploaded. This causes permission from license selector to used in the image description. That template in turn includes db-noncom which is a redirect to db-f3. Simple really!

There is no special provision for temporary uploading of images. An image such as File:TNObsv insideDome 0.png should be uploaded with the proper licence terms right from the start. Fair-use image: upload anyway - you should have seven days before it gets deleted with db-f5.

Incidentally File:TNObsv insideDome 0.png is a photograph. Please obtain the original, high resolution version and upload it as a JPG. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:28, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
