Draft:William Beauclerc Otway copyright concern

Hi CactusPolecat and thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. Most of the material you included in the above article appears to have been copied from the copyright web page https://bih.federation.edu.au/index.php/William_Beauclerc_Otway. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed, as we are not allowed to host copyright material, not even in draft space. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:21, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Better source request for File:1855-00-00 Scenes from Ballarat (FW Niven lithographer) SLV cropped.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:1855-00-00 Scenes from Ballarat (FW Niven lithographer) SLV cropped.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete or generic. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact source (such as the web page, or printed document) where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the direct/bare URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:01, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

I'm happy to add more source details, but I can't see where to do it. Do I add it to the Summary section? CactusPolecat (talk) 23:44, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
