Hello  thanks for the message Unfortunately this image was not tagged with an appropriate image copyright tag The burden is on the uploader to prove its a freelylicensed image or to provide a rationale for the use of nonfree content You were notified about the problem and you have edits in your contributions after the notice was left here on your talk page on May   its the message right over this one  When I came to this image in the backlog for CategoryImages with unknown copyright status I couldnt tag this image myself to help you because it also lacked a source There was no choice but to delete it Its simply not sufficient to state signed public domain photo from the Hawaii State Archives as either the source or the copyright    Many image licenses require attribution to their creator andor photographer  who created and photographed this image From or under what archive record number or file was this image listed or scanned Is it public domain because its publication date in the United States was before   Does the territorial status of Hawaii before  affect this images license Or is it PD because the author died more than  years ago   years ago  Was it published in the US before  and its copyright was not renewed within  years of its original publication  Is it a work of the Federal government  Hawaii isnt the US government and most US states do not place their images or text in the public domain Is this a publicity photo If so regardless of a signature or autograph its nonfree content and it must have a fair use rationale for each page on which it is used   These may seem like nitpicking little details but we must know the origin and license of each uploaded image We try to work with and help editors who are unfamiliar with uploading and tagging images but when theres not enough information we cant fix the problems    If you can provide the exact source URL book title archive number and archive details and so forth and the correct license I can help you recreate the page but I can only do this if all the details are provided including the author and immediate source of the image and its copyright status   You can find more information about these requirements at HelpImage page and WPCITEIMAGE You can ask specific questions about image copyrights at the media copyright questions desk If you have more questions or need help please let me know Thanks again for the message
