User talk:FrancisTyers~commonswiki
The majority of the persons call "Islas Baleares" the Balearic Islands, and "Ibiza" to Ibiza. Lamentably there is a user ultra- nationalistic-Catalan that does not accept it, but it is not my problem. I assure him that these names are much more correct. A greeting.

False license
[edit]Hi. First of all, sorry for disturb you and for my poor english.
I write you to let you know that user Granadin (in spanish wiki Gabri-gr-es) falsified the license of the image: Albolote flag.jpg in an action I see as a vandalism, as well as this user has been adviced previously of Commons policy.
If you see his talk page, you can see he cleaned the advices, but you can see the previous talks made to him by other users.
I don't know if you're a Commons administrator, but If you know someone, please, could you paste them this message in order to take the necessary actions to prevent further vandalisms from this user?
Again, sorry my intrusion. Thanks anyway for listen me. Hispa 18:13, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Great leap forward-Backyard smelting 1.jpg.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 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 {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL 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.

- Hi, first of all, thanks for your note :) Secondly, I think the image requires that {{PD-China}} be used, as "all photographs enter the public domain fifty years after they were first published". However, unfortunately I don't have the author/photographer. And without knowing Chinese I can't find out. Could you advise? Should the photograph just be deleted, or is there somewhere I can go to find a Chinese user to scan the page for an author?
- Many thanks - FrancisTyers 14:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Hello, and thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, most people ignore such warnings, so it's nice to find an exception! I agree that {{PD-China}} would be a logical tag for the image, but wanting confirmation, I got in touch with User:pfctdayelise and asked her to read through the page. We'll see what happens; I hope the picture turns out to be PD, as it's quite illustrative and has quite some historical significance. —UED77 02:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Dear Eugene Zelenko,
Please forward your email address and reply asap/immediately to Hollmarsh1@aol.com.
I found your photo at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Tajikistan_wine_label_1950.jpeg while doing photo research for a textbook publisher on a project. I thought your image might be appropriate for inclusion in a literature curriculum.
I am specifically seeking to confirm that you are scanner of the item, and therefore are the copyright holder of the photograph taken. I seek your permission to possibly publish it within the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License Version 1.2 and any other applicable laws.
With your permission, we will credit you for your work in the image's permanent description page. Please explicitly state the credit line you require, for example, Courtesy Francis Tyers.
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. We are in a hurry to confirm the images that will be used.
Thank you,

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 13:19, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk.

The file you added may soon be deleted.

[edit]Hello!
Thank you for donating images to the Wikimedia Commons. You have uploaded some images in the past with the license {{PD}}. While this was a license acceptable in the early days of Wikimedia, since January 2006, this license has been deprecated and since October 2008 no new uploads with this license was allowed.
The license on older images should be replaced with a better and more specific license/permissions and you can help by checking the images and adding {{PD-self}} if you are the author or one of the other templates that you can see in the template on the image page.
Thank you for your help. If you need help feel free to ask at Commons talk:Licensing or contact User:Zscout370.

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.

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. |

File tagging File:Riots in Dushanbe 1990.jpg
[edit]This media was probably deleted.
|
Thanks for uploading File:Riots in Dushanbe 1990.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Riots in Dushanbe 1990.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

[edit]This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:E l bernays-1928-propaganda.png, 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:E l bernays-1928-propaganda.png]] ).
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! |

Your account will be renamed
[edit]Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called FrancisTyers. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name FrancisTyers~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed
[edit]This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Moderniranianlanguagesmap.jpg
[edit]This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Moderniranianlanguagesmap.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, 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.
