Thanks for your feedback everyone. I will upload the pictures again, separately, and try to submit authorization for the files Marcio Delgado Studios East London and Marcio Delgado – Rede Record (I’ve got PDF’s for those).

I see WikiMedia as a form of contributing and making material available for the general user and contrary to what [[User:Inevercry]] expect not all material uploaded has wiki articles. I've uploaded photos of landscapes, phone booths and flowers - to name a few - and they don’t have wiki articles. As per portraits I didn't know we’re not allowed to upload those so I will avoid in the future. [[user: AnaMariaSmith]]

I sometimes run CatScan2 queries to find images without licenses. Mostly older images that are on our system for years, and sometimes had no licenses for years. Most of the images I find require a careful edit history check, since most of the time they had a license at some point, but somebody removed it: by mistake, as undetected vandalism, as botched transfer from wikipedia, by introducing typo in license name, etc. So far I was trying to correct those by myself and restore the original license or add {{tl|no license}} templates. However I was "fixing" some of them too fast and [[User_talk:Jarekt#Tagging|angering]] some uploaders by slapping too many {{tl|no license}} templates. So I am trying a different approach and just add them into [[:Category:Media without a license: needs history check]] category. See that category for more details on types of files that might get caught by this check. I would appreciate some help with fixing files in this category. --[[User:Jarekt|Jarekt]] ([[User talk:Jarekt|talk]]) 13:08, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
