[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Southwold_Lighthouse.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|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 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.

IMF
[edit]Hi, please see my discussion here- I do not believe that all material on the imf website is in the public domain- please see discussion here Commons:Village_pump#Clarification_needed_over_IMF_material. Gustav VH 09:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- How many places DID you post this info, and why so many? — Jeff G. 17:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Edit summary
[edit]When editing a page on Commons there is a small field labeled "Edit Summary" or "Summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the Edit Summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the Edit Summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's name in the Edit Summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. — Jeff G. 17:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure they're the same person. They seem to have similar interests, but then, it's likely that our nominator was looking around certain categories and saw a ton of files by this guy.
I guess we could just ask. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 10:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hm. You might have a point there. Lemme think. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 11:02, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- You're probably right there. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 11:08, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about the mistagging of that image entry, too many windows and too many languages.
I'm also sorry if I missed you adding more entries into the main list, I had a shadow copy in my en:wiki userspace where I was trying to keep track of progress and recruit some Canadians to the cause, and put the progress back into commons. I'll stop trying to do that now.
I also had some "typical" notices I was planning to put up at the other sites: [1], and I was going to try to track that on my upage, I don't know what you think of that.
I do think it would be good to put some sections into the commons page, so at least two people can work on it at once, also maybe it would be easier to see what is changing where. There's a lot of work to do, so I'm not sure reverting is the way to go here. Anyway, cheers! Franamax 12:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, I'm planning on reverting this file to what was originally received from McCain's office. Any objections? Please see the talk page for that image.Ferrylodge 20:57, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Canada-American copyright
[edit]I'm trying to draft a user guide to ensuring works are PD in both Canada and the US at User:Padraic/PD - please feel free to pitch in. Also, see Template talk:PD-Canada for more discussion on this issue. --Padraic 16:51, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Roger Moore
[edit]Hi. I'm afria you have got the licencing rules somewhat backwards - we don't need to suspect a copyvio to delete an image, but we need proof that an image is NOT a copyvio to keep it. In the case of that image, there was no source information and so no way of knowing whether it was a copyvio or not. The original uploader on commons was User:Chico. -mattbuck (Talk) 13:46, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Pretty much. -mattbuck (Talk) 00:11, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- It gave the web address http://www.n28.de, which I checked - it's just a single line of text. -mattbuck (Talk) 12:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
audio file from 1935
[edit]Hi,
thank you for the hint. It is obviously German. Well, I hope you can give me the answer that I wish to hear. thank you again: Europe is already sleeping! Good night!

Screenshots
[edit]Hi, I don't really understand what you mean by DVD resolution. Some of the images are taken from sources that offer a very poor resolution, and this is basically the best I can do. I'm not sure what you mean by DVD resolution in any case, but if there's something I can do to improve the image quality, let me know. Also, I'm not sure about the necessity for uploading an uncropped image, although it depends on the image. If you can give an example - most of the images I've uploaded I've done specifically to populate infoboxes, and I've intentionally cropped them accordingly, because in most cases the background isn't important, in that context. Rossrs (talk) 12:13, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
- Also - I'd be happy to oblige with the full images but the fact is that most of the images, I found and saved months ago, and have been gradually uploading as time permits. In most cases, I don't have an uncropped version. If there are specific images that you think would be more useful in their complete form, I could backtrack and try to find them. Rossrs (talk) 12:15, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Gustav, I'll keep this in mind, and for any new ones that I may find, I'll upload the whole frame and a cropped version as well. Rossrs (talk) 21:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, Like I said before, I haven't saved uncropped shots but I'll see what I can do. Rossrs (talk) 22:04, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Brian Donlevy Kiss of Death trailer scrennshot (14).jpg
[edit]This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Brian Donlevy Kiss of Death trailer scrennshot (14).jpg, 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:Brian Donlevy Kiss of Death trailer scrennshot (14).jpg]] ).
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 Gustav von Humpelschmumpel. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gustav von Humpelschmumpel~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
