Thanks for uploading File:St.-Louis-MO-F4-Tornado-–-February-10-1959-map-768x504.png. 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:St.-Louis-MO-F4-Tornado-–-February-10-1959-map-768x504.png. 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:St.-Louis-MO-F4-Tornado-–-February-10-1959-map-768x504.png]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

File:April-27-rotation-tracks-eastern-u-s-1.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. 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. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Sh041956.png
[edit]This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Sh041956.png, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Sh041956.png]] ).
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! |

RfC: Third-party images published by the National Weather Service
[edit]I've now reviewed 1,000 images uploaded under the rationales expressed in the {{PD-NWS}} template and requested deletion of several.
The arguments for deletion, and to keep, are now following repetitive, predictable patterns and it would greatly help all involved if we could centralise discussion and obtain some wider community input.
Therefore, I have opened an RfC to gather opinions. Apologies in advance: it's long and detailed, but is frankly nothing compared to the words and time expended by all parties up to this point. Probably the most crucial issue revolves around how we interpret a general disclaimer published at weather.gov (Q.1 in the RfC).
Your advice is greatly appreciated! --Rlandmann (talk) 10:43, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Question
[edit]Would asking user:Rlandmann to review a particular file be considered canvassing? Especially when there is not yet a deletion request on it? Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 18:26, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, I’d like to apologize. I believe I don’t understand the canvassing rule and need to review it before give I an answer. ChessEric (talk) 18:22, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Apology accepted. I don’t necessarily understand it that well either. That is probably a @WeatherWriter question. He’s gotten numerous accusations of canvassing (albeit many of them were likely misinterpretations like what happened to me). What I do know is that I typically ping the users whenever I mention them in a discussion because it’s easier. And I had specifically pinged Rlandmann there to get a second opinion because I had initially planned to withdraw my deletion request because @WeatherWriter had given me a convincing explanation for why it could have been PD. And I did the mass ping a little later to attempt to facilitate a larger discussion and get a better consensus. (Only two of those people have responded as of this writing). But from what I know; pinging people (even a large number of people) with a neutral intent of facilitating a bigger discussion isn’t considered canvassing. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 18:45, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- The neutral intent is the thing that I didn’t recognize. When I was called out for canvassing, it was because I pinged a large number of people that would AGREE with me. What happened after that is too long to explain here, but you can go back and see the horrifying effect it has had on the Severe Weather Project. I’ve changed for the better because of it, but to this day, I feel responsible for causing the ruckus to begin with and feel bad for that action. ChessEric (talk) 19:13, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Ummm, I didn’t do the huge ping until AFTER you warned me about canvassing. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 19:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- I meant in general. ChessEric (talk) 19:23, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
