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.CategorizationBot (talk) 10:53, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, thanks for your comment, I am aware that French Guiana is not a country, but that doesn't imply that they cannot have a representative squad in CONCACAF. Please read the following article French Guiana national football team for the rationale. EOZyo (talk) 06:01, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Notification about possible deletion
[edit]Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry.
If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion 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 them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. |
File tagging File:Gromia microscope processed.jpg
[edit]This media was probably deleted.
|
Thanks for uploading File:Gromia microscope processed.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Gromia microscope processed.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

Unfree license

- Hello Patrick:
- Thank so much. I kind of felt that the image I was posting did not have an acceptable CC license. But I went with the Wikipedia dictum "be bold". I trusted my fellow Wikipedians to catch this if it was wrong. Thank you for posting on my talk page the CC icons that are acceptable. I really appreciate the clarity of your message. The instructions on the upload page left me confused and wondering if this image was OK.
- I wish CC and the "Copyleft" concepts had remained simple and easy. I was there in the mid-1980s, when the GNU project produced the "copyleft" free-software licenses for each of its software packages. An early such license (the "GNU Emacs Copying Permission Notice") was used for "GNU Emacs" in 1985. I used EMACS in graduate school (M.S.1989, Ph.D. 1995) to write a massive amount of C code. I even met Richard Stallman, during my graduate days in Boston. Boy was he a weird person in the best way possible. But the situation now, twenty five years later, is complicated. I am lost. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nwbeeson (talk • contribs) 19:11, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:CarnaticRegion.jpg
[edit]This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:CarnaticRegion.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |

- The source of the original image is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mysore1617to1799b.jpg
- which states that the original publication was in 1897.
- That is 122 years ago. I belive that age puts it beyond
- any copyright claim, anywhere in the world.
- If I am wrong, then let me know, and I will hand draw
- this map.

- Thank you for providing the real source information. en:File:Mysore1617to1799b.jpg is marked as ineligible for transfer to Commons, but I'm not sure why. It should be fine. I've removed the problem tag. Cheers, —LX (talk, contribs) 10:40, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

[edit]hello, I have requested that your BrantDuckMap.svg be renamed BrantGooseMap.svg. Also I left a comment on the talk page regarding huge patches of red in northern Greenland and other islands. I would be willing to help you refine your map (with references). Jwikip (talk) 09:28, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- Refine my map. I got the data from the cited reference, and am most certainly not an expert. Any improvement is welcome. Nwbeeson (talk) 01:23, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
