Bill Evans[edit]
Thanks for changing the information to the photo you uploaded to Bill Evans' photo! I corrected the information on the English Wikipedia as well. It's a great shot! By the way, any time you want to contact me directly aside from email (which has worked out so well in the past), you can click my User talk page. This is yours, as you must know. However, email is probably quickest. Remember to sign all your messages in Wikimedia Commons or Wikipedia by clicking the little scribble button above the box in which you are typing (the one to the right of the red "no wiki" button) or just place four tildes after your comments like this ~~~~ Cheers! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 21:03, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
Own category[edit]
Dear Brianmcmillen. I've created a category (Category:Images by Brian McMillen) where I've put all your photos in. In future, you may add new photos to that category as well. :) Thanks for the good work by the way! With regards, Trijnsteltalk 14:27, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Dear Trijnstel, Wow, I am now a Wikimedia entity! This is an honor, and I thank you. I do wish and plan to add more and more jazz photos in the coming months and years. Best wishes, Brian McMillen (Is this how I respond to messages?)
Categorize[edit]
I am about to review your categorization of images, with an eye towards more complete categorizing, and creating new categories when we can use them. This should only help people find these images. i did this with the Keystone Korner image (I created the tiny article on the keystone). May I also say thanks for adding to the project. great images. I hope your originals are carefully archived.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:33, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
File:Red Garland.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. |

- Hi Brian, Leahtwosaints is having some health issues which make it difficult for her to be active here. I am an editor both here and on the English Wikipedia and if I can be of assistance, please feel free to let me know on my talk page here (or on en, I will cross-post this there next). Thanks for sharing your great photos! Ruhrfisch (talk) 11:23, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, she did respond to me. I hope she rebounds to good health very soon. Thanks for your message, and I did notice that the Red Garland.jpg file has been removed. This is good, the new one is much better. I have many more photos to add to Wikipedia, it will be a continuous project. Regards! Brianmcmillen (talk) 16:39, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
- Glad you heard from her and that the lower resolution file has been removed - let me know if you need assistance or have questions. Ruhrfisch (talk) 15:14, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I would like to convert this image to clipart, but I need your permission to do so. Will you do that? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Horace_KRE.jpg Jon Phillips (talk) 22:05, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
This one too if possible. Since he passed away today, want to get maximum exposure for your image and him. Thanks! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Horace_Silver.jpg Jon Phillips (talk) 22:11, 19 June 2014 (UTC) OK to both Jon.Brianmcmillen (talk) 20:45, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
Great! Check them out:
Jon Phillips (talk) 07:11, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Jon, I do not like Clipart at all! Can you take that down please??Brianmcmillen (talk) 07:19, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Ok, that's unfortunate. I took them down. Do you not like these images or you don't like clipart? Jon Phillips (talk) 15:06, 19 July 2014 (UTC) Clipart -- not my thing.Brianmcmillen (talk) 18:43, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
Copyright status: File:Bill and Nenette.jpg[edit]
This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Bill and Nenette.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |
No required license templates were detected at this file page. Please correct it, or if you have any questions please check my FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Yours sincerely, Jarekt (talk) 02:15, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Deleted content[edit]
- use in any work, regardless of content
- creation of derivative works
- commercial use
- free distribution
See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.
Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.Yours sincerely, Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 21:56, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Cecil Taylor.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Cecil Taylor.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |
