File source problem with File:David maynard.jpg

[edit]
File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:David maynard.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 18:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You should go to the image's description page and edit it to include the source and an appropriate licensing tag. However, the source you cite indicates that the page is copyrighted, and a published advertisement from 1983 would certainly also be copyrighted. We do not typically use non-free images to illustrate living people, as they are almost always replaceable by a free image, which is preferable under Wikipedia's core mission.
