Great photos
[edit]Hi, great photos of bald eagles :-), have you thought of submitting one or two to Featured Pictures ? I can't tell which ones would be high enough quality as full sized images, but Image:Juvebaldeagle-6may8.jpg or Image:Baldeagle-05jun75.jpg might be impressive enough. The FP guidelines mean a high technical quality is important and you'd have to scan them to at something like 2Mpixel resolution (eg 2000x1000 or 1600x1250), but images also needs some 'wow' factor to impress :-). --Tony Wills 00:31, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that your images have the potential to become Featured Pictures, but you'll need to remove the watermarks and upload them at higher resolution (at least 2Mpx) if they are to have any chance. The current ones are going to be rejected for those technical reasons, I'm afraid. Do please try again. --MichaelMaggs 20:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Your signature
[edit]Hi - can you please amend it so that it does not give the appearance of pointing to a website please. It is possible that it might be seen as being promotional. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 12:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi; done. I have no idea how that happened! I just copied and pasted earlier comments, changing the text. (I'm still learning.) It's fixed now!KetaDesign (talk)
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 17:26, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Sawmill-Splitting-a-big-log.jpg. 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. |
