Uploading images

To the best of my abilities I have uploaded page 1of6 of this document. Is this OK? Should I continue to upload the other 5 pages? Thanks, --Wkboonec (talk) 13:09, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Photographs of the document

The photographs of the six pages of this document were taken by historian Dr. Michael Miller at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) on (as I gather from the date/time-stamp) 25 June 2015, with his smart phone. He sent them to me (in Mexico City) by email. I transcribed the English text and translated it to Spanish. I am now uploading this most valuable historic information to Wikisource. Thank you for your consideration. --Wkboonec (talk) 13:23, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

I have uploaded images of pages 2 thru 6

I have uploaded images of pages 2 thru 6. I may have specified different parameters, as I did for page 1. You will please forgive my unfamiliarity with these procedures.

Thanks for all your help and patience. --Wkboonec (talk) 21:36, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

@Wkboonec: Thanks for the info. Give me a day or to give me some space to find and review what is happening, so I can provide good guidance. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:46, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Licensing

I understand that historic documents, prepared over 100 years ago by the US Navy, kept at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), are in the Public Domain.

I uploaded the 6 images in two stages and, not fully familiar with how I was supposed to do it, I ended up using different licensing options:

• For the first image ("1de6") I used {{cc-by-sa-4.0}}
• For the other 5 images ("2de6" thru 6de6") I used {{CC-BY-2.5}}

Of course, all 6 of the images should have the same licensing code. My understanding is that the correct code is the second one that I used, because that was when I saw and selected the "Documents by the Federal Government" option.

Thanks, --Wkboonec (talk) 04:19, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
