`  :: 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 it's a freely-licensed image or to provide a rationale for the use of non-free 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 2 2008 (it's the message right over this one).  When I came to this image in the backlog for Category:Images with unknown copyright status, I couldn't tag this image myself, to help you, because it also lacked a source. There was no choice but to delete it. It's 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 and/or 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 1923 ()? Does the territorial status of Hawaii before 1959 affect this image's license? Or, is it PD because the author died more than 70 years ago ()? 50 years ago ()? Was it published in the US before 1964 and its copyright was not renewed within 28 years of its original publication ()? Is it a work of the Federal government ()? Hawaii isn't 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, it's non-free 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 there's not enough information, we can't 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 Help:Image page and WP:CITE#IMAGE. 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.  `
