Categories
Dear Nightscream,
Could you be more specific when assigning categories to your (well made) photographs. Three categories a picture would be enough. For instance , this picture,
has nothing to do with Category:Statues by century. You need to define what century and then place it in the appropraite Century category. If it's a sculpture at the University of New Mexico you could make a category "Sculptures at the University of New Mexico", then assign a category within this category that links to public art in New Mexico.
Best regards, Brbbl (talk) 13:19, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I didn't know there was a limit. Thanks for the heads-up. But what if I have a pic that actually qualifies for more than three categories? Nightscream (talk) 14:59, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, there's not really a limit, I'm sorry I gave you that impression. It's just that when you put a picture in a category say "Statues in Denver", you don't have to put the same picture in the category "Statues in Colorado". Because the category "statues in Denver" is already a child of "statues in Colorado". The only exception I would make is the Statue of Liberty for instance. This would also be appropraite in "Statues in the United States" because is widely known as a symbol of America. But that's a personal matter. PS: In the Dutch Statue category we define statue as representing a famous person, known by name. Everything else is a sculpture. That would make the Statue of Liberty a sculpture too by-the-way. Best regards Brbbl (talk) 15:48, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
- Wow, User:Gerardus just informed me that sculptures in the USA cannot be photographed under the Creative Commons lisence. The creator of the sculpture is also the owner of your photograph see Freedom of Panorama - United States. Sorry Brbbl (talk) 09:56, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Nightscream, please take a look at Commons:Categories for how to use categories. You're currently overcategorizing your pictures, see the picture here on the right. Multichill (talk) 15:41, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Please tag your images
Thank you for providing images to the Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on the Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:
- Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
- State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikipedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best use CommonsHelper
- If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
- Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
- Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.
If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.
It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.
You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.
Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.
Thank you.

Tim Sale image duplication
Hi! On this one, what was it a duplicate of? It was one of your uploads I'd transferred over to Commons, here. Please let me know. :) rootology (T) 05:12, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
- ZScout showed me, for Image:8.28.07TimSaleByLuigiNovi.jpg. I'll tag the other for delete. rootology (T) 05:15, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Categories
Hi. Thank you for categorizing images, but please take a look at Commons:Categories. Note that Commons has categories within categories. Every image in Category:Marina Sirtis is already within Category:1955 births and Category:Actresses from the United Kingdom. The subcategories within Category:Actresses are all subcategories of Category:Women. Therefore this edit of yours added unnecessary redundant categories; I therefore reverted that edit. I hope that's clear. If you have any questions you can't find an answer to, feel free to ask. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 09:10, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, NightScream! I'm currently editing an article on Doug Jones on a German fan-wiki dedicated to Coldmirror (a very popular YouTube-user from Germany, who is promoting Doug's new movie "My Name Is Jerry" through her YT channel) and wondered if and under what circumstances I could use your marvelous picture of Doug. Here's a Link to the German article, if you want to check in on it. Since I'm a bit shy about posting my mail adress on the internet, please just answer here, I will check in again later. Thanks.

- I couldn't find a page on which I could respond to you, so hopefully you'll see this message. I released the photo into the public domain under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license, as is indicated on that photo's page, which means you can use it for any purpose, so long as you attribute it to me. My name, as you can see in the photo's file name, is Luigi Novi, so if you can place a credit on it wherever you publish it, that would be fine with me. And thank you for the compliment. Good luck! Nightscream (talk) 19:58, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. I'll do so. --91.55.227.171 16:50, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
- I notice you uploaded the file, but there's no credit in the article. Can you credit to me in the caption? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 09:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Question & OTRS permission
I replied on my talk page at User_talk:Infrogmation#Question to your question. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 01:08, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know if your question is already answered by Infrogmation, but here is an addition. OTRS Permission can only be granted by the photographer, not by the subject. It's the photographer who owns the copyright.
Fair Use policy only applies in certain countries, not on the Dutch wikipedia for instance. --Brbbl (talk) 06:05, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Categorization of Jim Lee images
I recategorized Jim Lee to include 1964 births and comic book creators. Please take a look at Commons:Categories, specifically, the Over-categorization section. It has already been pointed out to you twice, above, that you needlessly are over-categorizing images. If you need clarification, please ask for help. Thanks. --BrokenSphere 06:05, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- What I would have done was add Lee to the comic book creator category (which I did), vs. categorizing each of the individual images in the Jim Lee category as such. This way all those images are included within that larger category because the specific subcategory, Jim Lee, is within it. It's also less work to do this sort of thing at a category instead of going image by image. BrokenSphere 05:03, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
- No, it's easy to edit categories, the same as making edits to an image. BrokenSphere 01:20, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
- Here's what I did for North Bergen. --BrokenSphere 22:58, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
