[edit]Example for image not showing: Image:DebaBocho.Cleaver.Japan.jpg. Has working Download high resolution version (300x497, 9 KB) link, but no image on the image page. -- Chris 73 03:37, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Also Image:Heckert GNU white.png shows on the GFDL tags (see Image:DebaBocho.Cleaver.Japan.jpg), but not on Image:Heckert GNU white.png -- Chris 73 03:40, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Both look ok to me... --Brion VIBBER
- Hmmm... I am using Firefox V1. Looks OK on Internet explorer for me, but not on firefox. Toggling the Addblock extension does not help. BTW, is there a way to turn the category thumbnails off for selected pages, as for example the Category:Public domain, which has tons of images? I like the thumb-feature quite a lot, but it is difficult for very large categories. -- Chris 73 04:45, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Hold on ... now it works. Not sure why, but as long as it works I have no complaints -- Chris 73 04:50, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

- There isn't currently a way to turn off image gallerying in categories. What we probably will hack in, though, is a limit to the number of pages listed at once (and then the ability to page through that list). --Brion VIBBER 06:06, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Gallery feature
[edit]Brian, Reply on metawiki 1.4 discussion page. --wpopp 10:27, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Thanx
[edit]Hello Brion, with this little flower I just want to say thank you for spending time and energy on improving the Commons (it´s only one of the many projects you´re working on, of course) and for the reliable and mostly very quick help :-) :Bdk: 01:37, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Thankx too
[edit]Wikicommon wasn't work well with files name usying ǎěǐǒ or ǔ ; but ... now... when I try with File:Xǐao(small)-red.jpg => That's ok, that's work ǐ : look there On the french wikipédia and On the english one. I presume than that work well too for ǎ ě ǐ ǒ and ǔ . Thanks really much to the god who made that ! Yug 11:55, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
Still have some trouble on uploading page, in exemple, upload the file Xǐao(small)-red.jpg is not possible. If it's easy to fix it, please help this. Otherwise we have to upload a file rename like this : X&*456;ao(small)-red.jpg Yug 13:17, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
Chinese characters in file names
[edit]Hi brion - thanks for finding the major cache-key bug the other day. I have now received a detailed report of more problems with chinese characters (I havn't tried to reproduce them yet, though). Have a look here: User talk:Duesentrieb#Files with special characters to upload : Chineses - thanks! -- Duesentrieb 16:43, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
Hm, I've tried this, it works fine for me: Image:Test-永.png. May be a problem with your browser and/or file system. -- Duesentrieb 17:02, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
Deletion notification
[edit]One thing that may be worth thinking about is a method of notifying uploaders automatically that an image has been deleted, perhaps even by e-mail when available. One reason for this is that many users don't speak English, and here we could show them the warning in whatever language they have set in their prefs.--Eloquence 05:38, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Administrative notice
[edit]Hi. This message is sent out to you because you are an administrator on Commons, and you made little use (or no use) of the admin tools lately: less than 5 times in the last five months.
Commons has a new policy on admin activity, Commons:Administrators/De-adminship, taken into use on June 13, 2007 (after a poll among users). According to that policy, admins who use their tools infrequently will be asked whether they still need their adminship, and if they do not respond or require them the removal of the tools will be requested.
If you feel you still need your admin tools, please sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section within 30 days from the date this message was sent out. However, if you then don't make 5 admin actions in the following 5 months, you will lose the adminship without any notice.
This is not a comment on the considerable help you have given to the project in the past but reflects the wish of the community to see active administrators and to ensure that possible security breaches are minimized.
u sock!
There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful informations about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.
This message was added automatically by Filbot, if you need some help about it, ask its master (Filnik) or go to the Commons:Help desk. --Filnik 18:10, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Administrative notice
[edit]Dear Brooke Vibber. I am writing to you to inform you that because of inactivity, you may lose your adminship on Commons.
Commons has a new policy on admin activity, Commons:Administrators/De-adminship, taken into use on June 13, 2007 (after a two-week poll on the proposed policy's talk page).
If you want to keep your adminship, you have to sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section within 30 days. Note that if you don't make 5 admin actions in the following 5 months, you will then lose the adminship anyways.
Thank you — Mike.lifeguard 16:52, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- I am writing to let you know that as you did not sign the page mentioned above within the permitted 30 day period your admin rights have been removed for inactivity, as required by our policy. We very much appreciate the work you have done here, and hope you will feel free to re-apply for admin rights if at some time in the future you feel able to contribute again. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 14:11, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 05:41, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Looking for Contacts to Promote Dynamic Charts within Wikimedia
[edit]Hi Brion!
I saw you talk at the SVG conference. I am glad you are also a fan of SVG. I am working on a small set of "dynamic graphs" that might be used in wikimedia some day in the future. If you are interested here is a link: Dynamic Charts using SVGWeb Do you have any contacts I can work with to promote dynamic graphs within Wikimedia? --Dmccreary (talk) 16:18, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
- Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
- State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
- If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
- Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
- Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.
If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.
It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.
You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.
Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

File source is not properly indicated: File:Ubuntu phone on Galaxy Nexus 2013-04-01 11-29.jpeg
[edit]This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Ubuntu phone on Galaxy Nexus 2013-04-01 11-29.jpeg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Ubuntu phone on Galaxy Nexus 2013-04-01 11-29.jpeg]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |

This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:200908261510-Erik Moller-Scaling Up Can Wikimedia Become A 300 Million People.ogv. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |
