CONNECTICUT'S OFFICIAL STATE WEBSITE has been marked as a possible copyright violation.

Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT.

Please provide more precise links[edit]
For File:Representative Mary Gay Scanlon Sworn into Office.jpg, you gave https://scanlon.house.gov/ as the source.
Don't do that, you don't know what kind of hell it is to find the actual source with a link like that 3 years after an image was uploaded.
https://scanlon.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-mary-gay-scanlon-sworn-116th-congress is the proper link. Also, don't link (or don't only link, it's a helpful addition) the image directly like you did on File:Governor Ned Lamont portrait.jpg. Link the page or article that contains the image. Also note that the PD rationale "Image is freely available for download on state government website." is invalid. Read COM:L. Please adjust the uploads you've already made accordingly. Thanks! - Alexis Jazz ping plz 08:58, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Alexis Jazz: Ironically enough, the source [1] now appears to be a dead link. Anyway, sorry about not putting the full URL originally. As for File:Governor Ned Lamont portrait.jpg, it's sort of moot at this point. My PD rationale was always flimsy at best, and the file will likely be deleted soon regardless. My hope was that I'd stumble upon a stronger rationale as I moved forward, or that another user might suggest one. Such is life. Woko Sapien (talk) 15:08, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- The link works for me. Maybe it was down only temporarily? Anyway, the link that is provided would after some time be archived. So even if the link stops working at some point, it's not that big of a deal. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 00:18, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma Matt Pinnell.jpg[edit]
This media may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma Matt Pinnell.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |

Thanks for uploading File:Holcomb Official Headshot (49639997842) (cropped).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. |

Thanks for uploading File:Former Multnomah County Commissioner Loretta Smith (cropped).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:Former Multnomah County Commissioner Loretta Smith (cropped).jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |
