Image Tagging Image:Apostolic Father Rohan Lalith Aponso.jpg
[edit]
|
Thanks for uploading Image:Apostolic Father Rohan Lalith Aponso.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Please do not recreate deleted images
[edit]
Your image or other content, Image:The Apostolic Father Rohan Lalith Aponso.jpg, was recently deleted in accordance with our process and policies. You have recreated this content after it was deleted. Please do not do that. If you would like to contest the deletion, please visit Commons:Undeletion requests and follow the instructions there to have the deletion reviewed.
Recreating deleted content outside of process is not a good idea, and doing so repeatedly may be cause for you to lose the privilege of contributing here. Thank you for your understanding. --Túrelio (talk) 08:36, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Wikimedia Commons has a specific scope
[edit]
Thank you for your contributions. Your image or other content was recently deleted, or will soon be deleted, in accordance with our process and policies, because it was not, or is not, within our scope. Please review our project scope, but in short, Commons is targeted at educational media files including photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text and video clips. The expression “educational” is to be understood according to its broad meaning of “providing knowledge; instructional or informative”. Wikimedia Commons does not contain text articles like encyclopedia articles, textbooks, news, word definitions and such. Each of these other kinds of content have their own projects: Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary and Wikiquote.
If the content seems to fit the scope of one of those other projects, please consider contributing it there. If you think that the deletion was in error because the contribution really was in scope, you can appeal it at Commons:Undeletion requests, giving a reason why it fits our scope to help others evaluate the matter. Thank you for your understanding. Herby talk thyme 09:38, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- If you read the section above you will see that Commons is a repository for images not text pages. They should be on Wikipedia (if they are acceptable there). From what you say it would appear that Wikipedia do no view the page you created as valid however, in which case it is unlikely that the image would be acceptable here. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 08:18, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks you for your further email. We do keep communication on wiki whenever possible as it allows others to see what has been discussed. Equally it is likely that I will not be available at times and then others will be able to follow the thread.
- The purpose of Commons is to host freely licensed images for use anywhere by anyone. As such an image such as yours where there is obviously a copyright holder must be licensed via OTRS (the link contains the necessary information).
- Any images must also be within our scope (you should read this carefully). This wiki does not have text pages so galleries without images or with substantial text will be deleted. Encyclopaedic information should be on Wikipedia and you will need to contact people there to answer some of your questions. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 11:20, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
