Question about copyrights of your uploads of the watercolour paintings by Thomas Worrall

Thomas Worrall died less than 70 years ago. According to British law: If the work was published during the author's lifetime then copyright expires 70 years after the death of the author. (This not only applies to authors but also to artists.) See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/United_Kingdom.
Could you please mention whether you are the copyrights holder of these paintings OR have permission of the copyrights holder(s) to publish them on Wikimedia Commons (also for commercial purposes) OR whether one of the exceptions does apply? Usually, the heirs of the artist are the copyrights holders.
My experience is that Wikimedia Commons is very strict in maintaining copyright rules. So your files might be deleted if you cannot prove the copyrights are OK. JopkeB (talk) 07:49, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello RSJ123,
First of all: thank you for your explanation to me. But perhaps you have seen that unfortunately it was not enough. There might still be a chance to keep these files in Wikimedia and Wikipedia when you send an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with detailed information about your copyrights: how did you get them? Do you have a written transmission or consent of Worall himself or his heirs or any other proof? Then please send it to this email address. Mention in the mail that it is about Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Thomas Frederick Worrall. I wish you lots of success! I like the pictures and hope they may stay.

A page you started (William Worrall) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating William Worrall.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process.

Please add and cite secondary sources, which are needed to establish a subject's notability and prevent original research. We generally don't include subjects or facts in Wikipedia merely because they exist (see WP:NOTEVERYTHING): as editors our job is to summarize existing, reliably sourced information on topics that have already received significant secondary coverage, and present various views in proportion to their prominence in the published literature per WP:NPOV. Cheers!

To reply, leave a comment here and ping me.

Managing a potential conflict of interest

Hello! It appears that this article is about you and your work here. Please see the guidelines on conflict of interest editing, and be advised that policies of no original research still apply. If you are related to the subjects you write about, it may affect your ability to write neutrally and proportionally. In short, Wikipedia is not the place to self-publish new or unverifiable information, whether from academics or lay people alike. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a journal, and while academic writing is heavily based on using primary sources to make novel analyses, inferences, and opinions, Wikipedia writing is explicitly not. See the essays Wikipedia:Expert editors and Wikipedia:Wikipedia editing for research scientists for more info on how experts can best contribute and avoid pitfalls. If article subjects lack significant coverage by reliable third party sources (see the Golden rule), they may be deleted or merged into other articles. Cheers, --Animalparty!
