This template is inconsistent with the CC license which covers all resolutions of an image, misleading and promotional/self promotional. Please see Commons:Deletion requests/User:Janwikifoto/template pic-politik for prior deletion of similar template from same user. On the prior deletion request, the uploader wrote "What I can say is that it is quite ok for me to remove the template, if all pictures tagged with it are removed/deleted as well, I have no problem or objection with that. --Janwikifoto (talk) 15:05, 29 May 2014 (UTC)" Ellin Beltz (talk) 13:03, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
- Pictures tagged with other templates have not been removed, so I suggest a waiting period to find out why this has happened. Deleting all pictures means deleting a few hundred more pictures. That sitaution can be avoided by suggestions on re-phrasing the template, by the users suggesting removal. --Janwikifoto (talk) 14:18, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
CommentThis is not a nomination of the pictures, only of the self-promotional template. Ellin Beltz (talk) 14:22, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hello Ellin, You have suggested that pictures with a template be removed. Since I am not a native-english-speaker, I have asked you to re-phrase the template, but you choose not to do so. Instead you asked pictures to be deleted, and I agreed - proveded _all_ pictures labelled with the template would be delted. Now only _one_ picture is deleted, and a few hundred lost the template. That is not what I agreed to. Please either re-phrase the template for me, or give accurate information to how it should be formulated. Or delete a few hundred more pictures, that used the tenmplate. The same goes for your recent deleteion requests, I would be happy if you put them on hold, until the situation is cleared for the pictures that should now be deleted. Ot do you sincerely mean that a template with source information and a link to the source is not allowed at all? Further information would be appreciated very much. Best Regards Janwikifoto --Janwikifoto (talk) 14:12, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- I agreed ONLY to removal of the template, if ALL assoicated pictures where removed. Instead I now ask you to suggest a re-phrasing according to your opinions. You had dental surgery, I am also medically incapable for a few months, so it would be easier for me if I got useful suggestions. Jan wikifoto --Janwikifoto (talk) 14:30, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
Comment Per the previous deletion request (now closed) Commons:Deletion requests/User:Janwikifoto/template pic-politik, it was stated that "This template is inconsistent with a CC license -- a CC license covers all resolutions of the image, so this misleads users." The template is misleading because it says that people can buy a better version of the image from you, and has a personal website link. Commons is not for commerce or self-promotion. To rephrase your templates would be easy, take off any suggestion that someone has to buy anything from you and remove the promotional link. Currrently template reads: This illustration was made by Janwikifoto. If you are interested in high resolution pictures, please see the source web site for purchasing a license.

- As far as I can tell, this template is used on only one image, File:Leif Pagrotsky.1c447 5148.jpg . It was added to that image well after the image was uploaded with CC-BY-SA / GFDL licenses, so its addition represented an unacceptable restriction to the license on an image. Once an image is uploaded, the only changes that the owner of the copyirght can make to the license are those that tend to free it, not any that restrict it. . Jim . . . .

- "added to that image well after the image was uploaded" yes because this with templates was not explained to me at the beginning, actually never, I just had to look at other examples and try my own best. This picture was probably re-tagged as a trail, to see if templates worked at all. --Janwikifoto (talk) 12:08, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
So how about changinmg the text from "This photograph was made by Janwikifoto If you are interested in high resolution pictures, please see the source web site for purchasing a license. More pictures can be found in the gallery..." to new version This photograph was made by Janwikifoto. More pictures can be found in the gallery ... as this is acceptable to me. Is this ok? --Janwikifoto (talk) 19:31, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
Deleted: CC licenses are applicable to *all* resolutions of an image, making this condition mostly incompatible. Feel free to recreate with the new proposed version though FASTILY 09:00, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
