[edit]Can someone please erase the following image? I forgot to rotate it. WLU 18:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Or, could someone rotate it on the commons? WLU
I added the tag {{Rotate}}. As such, probably today or tomorrow one of our fellow Wikimedians will pass by and lossless rotate the image. -- Bryan (talk to me) 21:51, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Help!
[edit]Hi,
I created the fly (exercise) page on english wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_%28exercise%29) and would like to get some pictures, but I am super confused by searching. I need pictures of a shoulder fly, chest fly, and inverted fly. Thanks! Also, I rarely check this account, I believe I can be contacted by e-mail, but best is a message on my user page at english wiki. WLU 15:20, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- I see, you have found images from Category:Weight training. --GeorgHH 12:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, we have categories, see Commons:Categories. To find a category, you can use the tool CommonSense. Type in e.g. strength training and it will show you approriate categories and galleries on commons. --GeorgHH 15:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Could you clarify the licsenceing statement on this image? it doesn't appear to allow derivatives or reuse outside wikipedia.16:35, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Here's the text of my communications with Dr. Mainstone, who provided the pictures. I find the wikimedia licensing very confusing, so I'm hoping that someone who understands it can do the work of interpretation for me :) My understanding is Dr. Mainstone would like the pictures to remain solely on wikipedia and it's non-English siblings. Messages are in chronological order from oldest (top) to newest (bottom). Should you require further clarification, I could try to contact him again and ask, or put him directly in touch with you. As you can see below, he was quite friendly in our interactions.
- (Mainstone's initial reply) Sorry for the delay in answering your request! As I am not exactly sure what picture you had on the page previously, I will attach 2 different images. I would be happy for either of these to be posted on the webpage. The first is probably what was there before, but the resolution may not have suited you. The second is a picture of me (Professor John Mainstone, Custodian of the Pitch Drop Experiment) taken in 1990, about 2 years into the life of the 8th drop. The choice is yours. I would ask for the following acknowledgment of whichever image you use: "The University of Queensland" . John Mainstone [Custodian of the UQ Pitch Drop Experiment]
- (WLU's question) Hello Dr. Mainstone. I have uploaded both images to the Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia commons allows the pictures to be used with ALL wikimedia wikiprojects, not just English wikipedia. I hope this is acceptable. Please let me know if you have any problems or suggestions with the files as is, and I will do my best to change them. Also, if you would prefer the licensing to be changed or have the pictures only avalialbe to English wikipedia, I'll try to rectify. Thanks!
- (Mainstone's reply to my question) Thank you for the note. I have no objection to the use of the images with ALL wikimedia wikiprojects, and not just English wikipedia. John Mainstone, Cusodian, UQ Pitch Drop Experiment

- I'm very sorry but that is not free enough for commons where images have to be free enough to be used anywhere includeing for profit and allowing derivatives to be made. see for boilerplate requests for permission en:Wikipedia:Example requests for permission for the kind of thing meant.Geni 22:52, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- OK. I'm contacting Dr. Mainstone to let him know, I may try putting him directly in contact with you rather than acting as an intermediary for an awkwardly long time. WLU 13:26, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- it would better to get him to contact permissions@wikimedia.org .Geni 17:05, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Noted, thanks. WLU 18:33, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit]I hate the GNU license, it's very confusing. I took pictures of some book covers, under the impression that pictures of book covers were OK to upload. Are they? It's my own work, adjusted for colour, cropping, alignment, etc, should these go to commons or english wikipedia?
I wouldn't mind a line at my en.wikipedia talk page to let me know there's a reply.
Thanks,

Hello!
Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!
Thank you. 85.179.103.71 17:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
