User talk:MGSpiller

I really don't read this page or log onto commons very often. If an image is likely to be deleted please put a message on my Wiktionary:User talk:MGSpiller or Wikipedia:User talk:MGSpiller talk pages.

Obviously not all Commons users will have a en:Wikipedia or en:Wiktionary logon, a note mentioning commons (& the name of the image) would be sufficient, whether from a logon or an IP. I can also be contacted via Flickr should you have a logon for that.

Image Tagging Image:Spanokopita cropped.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Spanokopita cropped.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 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.

A bunch of my Flickr images appear to have been uploaded at random (i.e. not by myself) :-)

Hello MGSpiller!

Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. 85.182.126.61 12:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
