Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and ask your question there. Also please note: Thank you for helping to improve the Big Daddy%27s Restaurants article! I am sorry, but I did have to revert your edits because that advertisement is still under copyright and shouldn't have been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. You may be able to upload the logo by itself here on the English Wikipedia under the fair use policy. Ask myself or a volunteer at the New contributors help page if you need any help doing this. Happy editing! Again, welcome! Ashanda (talk) 01:13, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ashanda, that advertisment is 43 years old and is no longer under copyright, In addition, the logo that you had replaced the advertisement from the 1960's with that I had posted has no relation to the subject whatsoever. Thanks (Mc11235 (talk) 01:36, 13 August 2011 (UTC))
 * Hello again. I see now on that photograph's description page that you are right that the image is of another restaurant not related to the article. As to your uploads, the problem is that trademarks and copyrights are two entirely different animals. While as you have mentioned on the Wikimedia Commons pages, the trademarks are lapsed, the copyright for the original artwork holds for 95 years from the date of first publication for works prior to 1978. Unless the owner of the copyright (the company, ad firm, or commercial artist) explicitly released the works into the public domain or relicenced them under a free license they can't remain on Commons. You may be able to upload them locally here at the English Wikipedia under our Fair use policy- please peruse that page and let me know if I may be of further help.
