Pay attention to licensing

Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. File:Brandon Brown Homestead 2019.jpg seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file. If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

My deepest apologies. I miscaptioned the photo when I uploaded it to Commons. All of Zach Catanzareti's files from 2019 were used with a cc-by-2.0 license, and I had that picture from 2018 under that folder on my computer. Catanzareti has those older files under a cc-by-sa-2.0 license. Hopefully, it does not happen again. -TaurusEmerald

Please give images better names

---

I noticed you've uploaded File:2013-10-13-IMG 0393 (16298542172).jpg and I thought I should draw your attention to a common error. Please give uploaded files meaningful names. Otherwise they are difficult to track and it is hard to tell what the file is about without actually looking at it. I suggest you rename your image with an intuitive name that describes the file itself. Thanks, and happy editing!

Hello, TaurusEmerald!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

CropTool

In the future, I would appreciate it if you used CropTool to crop images. This tool allows users to crop images already on Commons without having to download the images. It also makes sure that, if necessary, the file has already passed license review. It also properly links the images to one another, in case an issue with them comes up later.

Hello TaurusEmerald, it appears that the version of File:Brianna Hildebrand (29613970213).jpg which you uploaded 2020-04-21T00:25:35Z is broken or corrupt. Please review the image and attempt to correct this issue by uploading a new version of the file. TheSandBot will re-review this image again in 7 days. If it is still corrupt at that time, then the file may be nominated for deletion. This is most likely to happen when a substantial portion of the image is corrupt. Thank you,

Please give some thought to writing a good description of uploaded images. This ensures that they can be used. It also helps those that review and improve categories do a better job, which also ensures that images will get used in novel and interesting ways. Thanks, and happy editing!

I noticed that you uploaded a file using the name File:Robert McCollum (21939864163) (cropped).jpg. A file by this name already existed on Commons. Overwriting an existing file should not be done except when making minor, uncontroversial corrections, so the file has been restored to its previous version. If the file that you attempted to upload is within our project scope and is in the public domain or published under a free license, please upload it again under a different name. Thank you. For more information, please see Commons:Overwriting files.

Overwriting of pictures

Hello, could you please stop cropping off huge parts of pictures and overwriting? Upload it under a different file please Binho24 (talk) 07:03, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Cropped images are normally uploaded as a separate file with the same name but adding to the end "(cropped)". One of my images that was cropped started as File:Brian Vickers Road America 2013.jpg and the cropped version is File:Brian Vickers Road America 2013 (cropped).jpg. Notice how both images link to each other in the "Other Versions" section. Royalbroil 14:48, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Please consider new file names carefully when uploading crops.

Hi. When you upload crops of only a single person from a photograph previously containing two or more people (e.g. as you did here, here, here, and here, etc.) please consider the new file name with care: it is often misleading and inaccurate to keep old names that mention people no longer in the cropped photograph. Please consider modifying file names to be more representative of what is displayed. There is no rule that says you must keep the old name when you upload a crop of a new file. Indeed, the Crop Tool, which you have often used, states "Update the filename below if no longer descriptive." Having extraneous proper nouns in file names (or descriptions) means more false positives when searching for text strings. Furthermore, it is completely acceptable, and even preferable, to give meaningless/ambiguous files new, more descriptive names upon cropping (e.g. File:20180502-OSEC-LSC-0393 (27988167388) (cropped).jpg could have easily been renamed File:Sonny Perdue May 2, 2018 (27988167388).jpg). There is also no rule that crops must have the word "cropped" in the title: this may or may not be appropriate depending on the initial file name and the content of the cropped image. For more information, please see Commons:File naming and Commons:File renaming. It may also be a good idea to modify the description and/or categories after cropping, to again ensure the data predominantly corresponds to what is in the file.

Darkening photos

Hi there, I noticed you darkened the crop I made of Joseph Duffey from a scan of State Magazine. It looks great! Could I ask what method you used? I've just extracted a bunch more photos from the samae issue and I'd like to darken them. Thanks, Wodgester (talk) 17:11, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
