Missing Metadata
[edit]Hello. Could you please add on the description page of the pictures you upload :
- a date (sometimes missing)
- a licence tag
- and an url to the source if available
Thank you :) --FoeNyx 23:49, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
WikiCommons already has this image, Image:Death of Marat by David.jpg. Thuresson 19:46, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Ok. The right title is Marat assassiné. Johann 19:50, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Please do not remove the redundant template until matter is resolved. Thuresson 20:57, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I have placed the template on Image:Death of Marat by David.jpg, because the right title is in french. Johann 20:59, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- But some other project probably use the previous one, better not delete existing file (or check the 200+ wikis to correct them ..) --FoeNyx 22:06, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Effectivement, je n'y avais pas pensé. Johann 22:08, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Category and language
[edit]I believe current policy dictates only English category titles, which, is a shame, but there are many software limitations in this department. Grenavitar 08:51, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Portrait_de_Dante.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-3.0}} 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.

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 16:31, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Symbolism has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion 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. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. 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 Johann. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Johann~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
