Hello, Gbawden!

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.

File:SA Army E4 rank insignia.jpg

File:SA Army E4 rank insignia.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

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 information 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.

Duplicates

If you are going to do a DR for a duplicate, such as Commons:Deletion requests/File:Dr. Pathrose Parathuvayalil MD(Ay).jpg, it would helpful if you linked both files, as most Admins will want to look at both.

There is also the {{Duplicate}} tag which is actually a little slower for Admins, but which you may find useful.

Please ensure that in every case if one file is in use, that you nominate the other one. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:23, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Enough

We've left enough messages on your talk page which tell you to provide better sourcing and licensing. I now see you've uploaded a whole bevy of images from English Wikipedia which were created by the US military and which you sloppily placed the {{Own}} tag on as the source, while omitting the real source which was present on English Wikipedia. Please provide a better sourcing to your images. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 19:34, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to mark all of them as unsourced, as I don't have the time or patience to clean up after you. If you want to keep them on Commons, please go and fix the source. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 19:36, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:CAPTwilliamFbringleUSN.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.

If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work.

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!

Whats the point of marking these files for transfer to commons on wikipedia if they don't meet the commons criteria in the first place? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbawden (talk • contribs) 06:29, January 24, 2014‎ (UTC)

They do meet Commons' criteria. It's just that you chose the option on the bot to state that they were "own work", when they were not "own work" by the uploader - they were clearly created by a third party. I admit I didn't respond very well - I probably should have tutored you. Still, could you please go through those images and fix the source information? If you do that, they will no longer have to be deleted. Thanks. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 17:19, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here is an example of how to fix it: basically just move the source information into the source field.[2] Let me know if you have any other questions. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 17:30, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I thought that ForTheCommonGood automatically copied over that information. What do I do in the case where no author or source information is provided by the original uploader on Wikipedia? Thanks. Graham Gbawden (talk) 06:51, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Take this case for example. You would move all of the above information into the source field. Unless the original uploader is also the author, that means you always remove the {{Own}} tag (as you'll notice it states there in the comment change this if not own work). If the original upload doesn't provide a source at all, then you would still remove the own tag and replace it with nothing (in this case, the image might get deleted from Commons as some point regardless of whether you remove the own tag, because the original uploader at Wikipedia failed to provide sufficient source information).

⧼Wikibase-terms/Archive 1⧽: Deutsch, Ελληνικά, English, ‎français, magyar, ‎italiano, македонски, ‎‎日本語, ‎‎‎русский, ‎‎‎svenska

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

A request

In this edit you advised me you had opened Commons:Categories for discussion/2014/03/Category:Curtis M. Scaparrotti. I'd like to know what your justification was, but this discussion had been deleted.

I voiced my concerns over that deletion at User talk:Denniss.

I wrote there that, IMO, contributors like you should not remove elements from existing categories -- since that can trigger their premature deletion. Instead, I think the discussion should run its course, and the elements only moved if the discussion's consensus aligns with choosing the new category.

So, I am going to request you that, in future, you simply initiate the discussion, and not move elements from the existing category to the new category -- unless the discussion's consensus aligns with your opinion.

Thanks Geo Swan (talk) 21:32, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:120705-N-VF350-005 ear Admiral Ron Lloyd, Royal Canadian Navy, speaks with chaplains).jpg

For future reference, when a Flickr image has an obviously incorrect tag, don't bother adding {{Flickrreview}}; the bot will only read the license tag and mark it for deletion. Instead, just add Category:Flickr images needing human review directly and include a small note (in  tags, perhaps) explaining to the reviewer why bot review wouldn't work. I found this image while deleting pages that failed review, and this one was included because the bot didn't understand that US Navy pictures are PD-USGov. I've removed the bot's deletion request and replaced it with a review notice that confirms your tag. Nyttend (talk) 23:06, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gbawden, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

I am dealing with an OTRS ticket about this file that you marked in March as being Sergio Montesino's work. Where have you found this information? Thank you --Ruthven (msg) 12:08, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ruthven: I think i summarily tagged all this users uploads after finding one or two that were taken from the internet hence how I found the authors name. This was a batch edit and I worked on the premise that if there was an issue with one there was an issue with all, given that they were the only upload by this user. Gbawden (talk) 12:42, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I arrived at the same conclusion after undeleting another file that was taken with a different camera and has a source on the web. I havent' found any Sergio Montesino as original author, but I asked for some explaination via OTRS. Cheers, Ruthven (msg) 13:03, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@1989: - Dear 1989. Thanks for the message. I have been considering how I could get involved in other ways on Commons. Will definitely consider it. Gbawden (talk) 06:37, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Shall I nominate you now? -- 1989 (talk) 06:38, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, see COM:BBL. -- 1989 (talk) 06:47, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Before you do that- what is the area you would like me to become involved in to help the project? I see my self helping with the files for deletion process and other cleanup tasks that might be necessary Gbawden (talk) 07:58, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You can help with whatever you like here (COM:AB). Also, be sure to add Babel so users can understand what languages you know. I linked it above. -- 1989 (talk) 08:17, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done. You can nominate me. Gulp Gbawden (talk) 08:32, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just sign and you’re good. -- 1989 (talk) 08:41, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gbawden, congratulations! You now have administrator rights on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard and its subpages), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Have a look at the list of Gadgets (on the bottom there are the ones specifically for admins – however, for example the UserMessages are very helpful too).

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons ^webchat on irc.libera.chat. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators: #wikimedia-commons-admin ^webchat.

You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading. You can find the admin backlog overview at COM:AB.

Please also check or add your entry to the List of administrators and the related lists by language and date it references.

Hi

could you please look at this image again? It's simply terrible, and does not show the purported subject of the image. I think it should have been closed as delete, but I can understand if you closed it on a policy basis. IN any case it does not belong here.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:06, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Please stop tagging files under F7, I'm not going to waste Dyolf77s time by asking for undeletion as I don't know how bad or salvageable the files were however we may of just lost valuable images due to your blind tagging so I would kindly ask you stop,
We need to save images here not delete them especially when like I say some could be salvageable. –Davey2010^Talk 12:28, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Davey2010: Sorry wasn't my intention. Mea culpa Gbawden (talk) 13:01, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, Some images can be cropped whilst others you can occasionally find the full image online so not all are immediately deletable,

File:TN Governor BillLee.jpg

How is File:TN Governor BillLee.jpg in the public domain? The state of Tennessee doesn’t, nor have they ever, released their work in the public domain? It’s an official photo that is copyrighted. I’m just trying to figure out your rationale of removing the permission tag... I’ve listed it for deletion now, but would still like like to know your reasoning. Did you even check to see the copyright status? Corky 15:54, 11 February 2019 (UTC) @Corkythehornetfan: I visited tn.gov and tried to find a copyright statement which I couldn't.

File:TnT PoS Westmoorings 1.jpg

Hi Gbawden, hi Wdwd,
I noticed a few edits around file File:TnT PoS Westmoorings 1.jpg which I had asked to be deleted in this deletion request. I am aware that the "new" picture has a lower resolution than the "old" one, which is due to my limited software tools. The reason why I had asked to delete the "old" file was that I had corrected the horizon in the "new" file. Now the "new" file is deleted, and the "old" one still has its tilted horizon. Might be Commons policy, might be wrong, I don't know, just wanted to mention the reason behind my deletion request.
Kind regards, Grueslayer (talk) 11:14, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Grueslayer: Hi. I might have screwed up on that one. To be safe I kept the file and then tagged it as a Duplicate. As I pointed out it was a better image than the other and Wdwd seems to have agreed as he has kept this one and redirected the other. You could re-upload the new horizon image to the same file name by clicking upload a new version under file history. Hope that helps Gbawden (talk) 11:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Undeletion Request of File:Shreedev Bhattarai.jpg and File:M-1.jpg

I had posted some pictures in wikimedia which you had deleted for copyright issues. I took time to request for undeletion to be sure that they are not copyrighted. So, here I am confirming you that , two of them do not subject to copyright violation. They are: File:Shreedev Bhattarai.jpg and File:M-1.jpg So, could you please undelete them?

@Gbawden: I agree. But I am requesting for undeletion for only two of those files. Others, were found somewhere else on web. But, those two pictures I am mentioning, were taken by a professional photographers by the persons themselves. Do I still need to post my request at COM:UDR ? Please kindly answer that.SachuLolly (talk) 06:30, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@SachuLolly: If you want them undeleted then yes you need to post there. If they were taken by a professional photographer that photographer owns the copyright, not you. They will have to provide permission to use the photos via COM:OTRS. Gbawden (talk) 06:33, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gbawden: Thanks for the reply. No, since the photograph was taken as a paid service, they do not hold the copyright. It was taken and posted in social media, without any copyright by the persons in the photograph. In fact, they themselves provided me with the medias. Anyways, thanks for your time.

The other DR I linked seems very similar and Chem Sim 2001 has been canvassing. He asked you here to close the DR not because it would be uncontroversial, but to make sure it would be closed before Jeff would find the DR. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 13:33, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexis Jazz: Uhm no ... I started this deletion request eight days ago. If you don´t know, the request has to be active for seven days.

Hi Gbawden, I've taken the liberty to remove your copyvio-tag from some images with a blue1310.com watermark, as the legal code of blue1310.com mentions "Jean-Sébastien Touchet" as author/owner.
