New Chillicothe Pearce things
Hi! I noticed you've contributed some text and pictures. Don't worry about the "artices for creation" response: When you put AFC submission on your test page, other users thought you were ready to turn it into a full article. I have a question about the pictures: Did you create the images yourself? The files are uploaded on Wikimedia Commons with a Creative Commons license, but are uploaded to Flickr with an "All rights reserved" copyright. Some, like File:72champs.png, have a provenance, but we want to make sure the others have the right provenance so they doesn't get deleted. (You can reply by just editing below this.) --Closeapple (talk) 06:49, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I didn't mean to create any new page. I thought I was in a sandbox area. The photos I added to the Commons area were done so because I didn't yet have (10 edits) I added them there so I could later add them to the Chillicothe IL Wiki page and add to the local history/Education page. That's all I want to do. The File:72champs.png was sent to me for my Flickr album of our 1972 State Championship project I created. The IESA photographers took that picture in February 1972. It sat in the IESA vault unused until my project idea in March 2016. I contacted Administrative Assistant Barbara Kingery at IESA and she checked to see what materials they had from that Tournament. The Team color photo was sent to me with permission to post it. I still have the original email exchanges from them and zipfiles. Not only did they send me permission, the IESA downloaded my flickr photos to add the two Champion teams from 1972 to their Champions Album. My picture on flickr was better than the one they had after I edited it with GIMP. They now are on the IESA website which was a goal of mine. We weren't represented there for all these years. Now we are. :0) I searched the Peoria Journal Star for all the original photos of that night. They said any photographers were long gone and only other alternative was getting a screen grab from old newspapers. I did this for most my project.  The other photos in the commons are my work. The Pearce Letter/gold plated basketball, Pearce Diploma, and Pearce Grade School photos are all my own work. All belong to me from my Pearce days. I took the Pearce CCenter photo myself during a visit 7/02/2016 this year. They appear on the Flickr project too. Only other photo was one of my Dad's OLD School. The Postcard was found after he passed away for Grant School, Streator IL. I have no idea who took the original photo. I took the photo of it. I understand *now after reading rules that it may get deleted even though the creator is long gone *more than 70 years* That School was from the 1899-1950 range. Again, Sorry if I caused folks to expect that article creation. I'll be reading the rules better now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnydollar2 (talk • contribs) 2016-10-08 07:42:34 (UTC)


 * You're doing fine: You really were in your personal sandbox area, and that really is where your tests go. Wikimedia Commons really is the right place to upload files.  Some tips on the individual photos you mentioned:
 * File:72champs.png &mdash; This probably means it's a work for hire for IESA. Since it was first published in 2016 (rather than 1972), it's copyrighted even though it has no copyright notice.  Since you have gotten permission in the past from the IESA, I'd recommend you make sure that the IESA releases the photo explicitly to the public domain (which means they disclaim copyright forever no matter who uses it) or ask which license they're willing to release it under.  Commons:Commons:Licensing has some: Most people seem to prefer the Creative Commons Attribution+Share Alike license (CC-BY-SA).  You can then send that to [mailto:permissions-commons@wikimedia.org permissions-commons@undefinedwikimedia.org] and it will give you a ticket number &mdash; see Commons:Commons:OTRS
 * File:ChillicotheILPearcediploma1972.jpg, File:Pearcewins.jpg, File:Pearce Community Center - 2016.jpg, File:PearceCommunityCenter2016.jpg &mdash; Since they're all your own photographs, and don't contain any copyrighted material, your own release on the uploads was already sufficient. You may want to change the license on the Flickr images 25147845722, 28274078215, 28980481721, and 25147845692, so that nobody who looks at the Flickr version questions whether you really released them.
 * File:Grantpublicschool.jpg &mdash; Check the back of the postcard. If it doesn't have a copyright on it, then you're in the clear: The license is PD-US-no notice.  If it does, it might still be PD-US-no renewal if there's no record of it being renewed.  This is the case with most things published in the U.S. before 1978.  (But it doesn't apply to your IESA photo if it remained unpublished until 2016.)  Even better, if you can prove it's before 1923, it's PD-US-1923 whether it has a copyright notice or renewal or not.
 * Hope this helps. By the way: When you post on talk pages, you can sign your name at the end by adding   on the end. --Closeapple (talk) 09:19, 8 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Are things going OK? I noticed some categories disappearing from files and things like that.  If you need any help, let me know. --Closeapple (talk) 05:23, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
