Non commercial

[edit]

Non-commercial images are not allowed on commons. The following images have a non-commercial license and -unless they're relicensed- they will be deleted.

May i ask why? I hope you have read the reasons for not using non-commercial licenses and plus, i see no special value on those graphics. They're simple diagrams. Platonides 14:59, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I'm sorry you were discouraged by having your images deleted. They were nice Image:Vai beach (Crete Greece).JPG is a beutiful view and Image:Diga Pieve di Cadore (ITA).jpg seems quite good too.
Uploading only for wikipedia and only for free project is not acceptable as the content must be reusable. Doing for wikipedia only could get to a teacher which must say "You have a good photo of this on wikipedia" but not able to give their students a copy because license was for wikipedia only.
I understand perfectly you don't want to work for someone else's profit, but i am pretty sure nobody will profit of the images you upload here. Wikipedia can be sold. This would allow anyone to sell them for they profit, but it's very unlikely, as they don't own it so everybody could do it. However if it were to be printed, being able to sell it is necessary, as a book publishing is not cheap. Could Non-Commercial material be included? No. Is it for somebody's profit? I don't think so. It's simply recovering the money spent to make it paper. As an example the German Wikipedia CDs were sold at about 1€ each (German Wikipedia doesn't have NC images). Money were for the emprise who burnt the CDs and Wikimedia Foundation / German Chapter.
What about other people? I explained why is it good for us having commercial material, but not what happens if someone else wants to get profit for your images. It's very unlikely, as -supposing you're using a Cc-by-sa license instead of Cc-by-nc-sa - the whole work should be Cc-by-sa. So if they included one image on a book, the whole book should be Cc-by-sa (or could be claimed to be) and everyone could make copies and distribute them, without paying the author who wanted profit from your image. And of course, who would pay for getting only your image, which is already available for free?. If they really wanted profit, they wouldn't use a free image with a share-alike clause, as it's too dangerous. And if instead of a Cc-by-sa license it were a GFDL, they would even need to give a copy of the license! (3-4 pages). Some commons users have earn some money simply by licensing their free images to people interested in using it. Companies prefer to get a license for it, or even see the needing to pay the person whose work are using, even if they don't needed (i suspect they're their lawyers who recommend them doing so). I have heard that the OTRS receives many inquiries for getting licenses for using commons images.
The link i gave you above explains more deeply reasons against using NonCommercial and the profit issue. But keep sure it's very unlikely anyone could get rich simply by using your images with a non-commercial license. I hope that this helps you understanding the whole problem.
And about your deleted images, don't worry. They can be restored if you change your mind or want to download them to move anywhere else.

These images have been delted too.
Apart of the license issue, JPG is a very bad format for diagrams. Png achives a better quality. And svg would be even better as it's vectorial. Platonides 14:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Think it as much as you want. For vectorial images: Inkscape http://www.inkscape.org/ Platonides 20:36, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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 Nicolaesse. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nicolaesse~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
