Thank you. All I am trying to do is add a photo, which I own, and which has been deleted twice without contacting me or telling me why. I am going to try with a different photo since that one seems to be tagged for deletion for whatever reason.Fizencor (talk) 20:52, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The image was deleted as a copyright violation, so I'm guessing that you failed to demonstrate that you are the owner of the image. I can't see the deleted image at Commons, so I can't be more specific than that.
 * If you're going to upload the image again, be sure that you can document that you are the owner of the image and that you have released it under a free license. —C.Fred (talk) 20:55, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I saw the copyright violation thing when I looked into it, but no one even asked me about documentation or anything like that, so I'm not sure what I am supposed to do differently. The image had originally been uploaded by a third party and it was suggested to them that the owner upload it directly, so I had done that. I hope that a different photo will avoid the problem but I don't know. I wish things were more transparent for "amateur" users. Fizencor (talk) 21:00, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Remember that there are two websites involved, so any messages would have shown up at Wikimedia Commons, not necessarily here. And yes, the image rules are complicated, but licensing is a complicated issue, so we don't have a good, easy fix for it. —C.Fred (talk) 21:03, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
