Don't want to interfere in any way with your fun, but if you had just encoded the arrowheads as simple ordinary triangles, instead of exploring the frontiers of "markers", then you could have had a working SVG file months ago... AnonMoos (talk) 03:00, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
- Of course markers are not forbidden in SVG files. But I noticed that your strategy of hand-coding marker code, and then not being 100% sure what's an RSVG bug and what's a coding bug, doesn't seem to be working for you. Yes, markers are supposed to save effort in some situations. But sometimes you have to realize that what should be theoretically supposed to be reducing work is in actuality increasing work, and cut your losses. The following simple SVG file shows a slanted line with arrowhead, and will render without any problems: AnonMoos (talk) 17:13, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:MountOlivesHospitalFront.png. 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:MountOlivesHospitalFront.png]]) and the above demanded information in your request. |

- Hi PeterEasthope. The above also applies to File:MountOlivesHospitalSign.png. Please note that Commons only accepts images which are unequivocally in the public domain or freely licensed. While I believe the creator of these photos gave you permission to use them for Wikipedia, Commons requires that clear explicit permission be given for anyone anywhere in the world to use them for any purpose (including commercial). Please refer to COM:OTRS#If you are NOT the copyright holder for further details on how to send such permission to Commons' OTRS for verification. Moreover, there is another possible problem with the photo of the sign. While I have no reason to doubt that Ambrose Yeboah took the photo, it's not clear whether he created to sign itself. Signs, even those publicly displayed like this, are often protected by copyright so simply taking a picture of it does not mean a transfer of copyright. The photo may be freely licensed by the photographer, but the sign itself may require a free license from its creator/copyright holder. Sometimes when a copyrighted object is in the background and not the focus of the photo, the principle of de minimis applies, but that does not seem to be the case here. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:29, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- Right oh; thanks. I've notified the copyright holders and requested their permissions, ... PeterEasthope (talk) 13:31, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response Peter. If the files are by chance deleted before the emails are sent, don't worry. Files which are deleted are not completely gone, they are just hidden from public view so to speak and in most cases can be easily "unhid" by an administrator, etc. So, there's no need to re-upload them again. You can either ask the deleting admin or at COM:OTRSN for help. Once the emails have been sent, the system will automatically send a reply to the sender which will contain an OTRS ticket number. Adding this number to any discussions will make it easier for those who check such things (i.e., OTRS volunteers) to find the email in the system. If the email is are sent before the files are deleted, then just replace the {{No permission since}} templates with {{OTRS pending}}. This will give the OTRS volunteers more time to find and verify the permission email. Be advised, however, that the "OTRS pending" template will automatically change to "No permission since" if 30 days pass and the email have not been verified. There can sometimes be a bit of a wait when it comes to OTRS since there are only so many volunteers, so you can ask about things at OTRSN if you start to get worried.
- Finally, as I wrote above, there may be a problem with the photo of the sign itself. I asked about this at COM:VP/C#File:MountOlivesHospitalSign.png, so you might want to take a look. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:33, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello!. You should always try to categorize your uploaded media in a more accurate category. In this case Category:Medical suction. Before upload a media, you should browse by categories to determine the most convenient one/s (or create a new category). Thanks. Jmarchn (talk) 20:04, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Physics, A New Introductory Course, Particles and Newtonian Mechanics.pdf. 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. |
