Image Lisencing - Continued
Hi, it seems you uploaded an image of Luis Arce onto Commons and have edited his article to feature the image. While the picture is certainly better than the previous one, the image on Commons lacks a lisence. Bolivia does not release government photographs into the public domain and this is a government photograph. As such, you will need to provie adequate lisencing information on the Commons file. If you do not do this by tommorow, I will have to revert your edit as the picture will soon be deleted. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 04:25, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi! I'm kinda new to adding pictures on Wikipedia xP. Where can I get the licensing info I need? OneNerdyBoi (talk) 06:58, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * No issue. When uploading an image onto Commons, you are asked to either specify if the image is your own work or not. If you created the image, you are free to check that box and release it into the public domain. If not, then you must add a source, an author (if the author of the image is unknown just put unknown), and you need to add a valid lisence. Wikimedia Commons only hosts images that are public domain (E.G. nobody owns the copyright to them).
 * There are 7 standard Creative Commons lisences which just mean the picture is in the public domain. If you know that the copyright on the picture has expired in the U.S., you can check that. If the photo was made by the U.S. government, then it is automatically public domain. Finally, there is the section which states "Another reason not stated above." Here you can add a valid copyright tag. Copyright tags indicate why the image is in the public domain and are typically used for photographs taken in other coutnries. For example, the tag PD-Bolivia means the picture was taken 50 years ago and thus its copyright has expired. You can find a full list of copyright tags here: Commons:Copyright tags/Country-specific tags.
 * If you do not add a valid lisence then the image will be automatically deleted after a few days. As mentioned, the Bolivian government does not release pictures it has taken into the public domain meaning that for the picture of Luis Arce you uploaded, you must have recived special permission and must indicate that. If you did not recieve government permission, then I expect it'll be deleted automatically after a few days and I'll revert to the previous image used.
 * I hope that summary explained image uploads adequately. I suggest you look through Commons:Copyright rules for further information. Other than that, happy editing! Krisgabwoosh (talk) 17:33, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
