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) 10:59, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit]This media may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Mars_-_Observermarsobs_3.png, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 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 image cannot be founded under the given source. Please correct that. Thank you in advance. --High Contrast (talk) 09:00, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yes it can. Check this link. I enhanced the contrast and it is clearly a NASA photo.--Xession (talk) 09:02, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
- In such cases you must state both links - as I did now. Then it is absolutely OK. Greetings, High Contrast (talk) 09:11, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Venera Images
[edit]Hello!
Have you sent the permission that you have received via email to the OTRS-team? Regards, High Contrast (talk) 17:37, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
- I actually have not yet, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I've been rather busy with other projects and have not had the time to devote toward the Venera image situation lately. Secondly, I'm a little puzzled as to what my next step is. I've briefed myself on the OTRS, and am confused as how I should proceed, as the images are in the public domain rather than under copyright. Am I to send the email I received to the OTRS review board, or am I to request permission from Dr. Bell or someone else to use public domain imagery? If the process is to submit the email I've already received, how should I go about it? --Xession (talk) 22:42, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
- Basically, you have to send an Email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. All relevant information can be found here. --High Contrast (talk) 20:11, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Logo.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). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you. |

File:Venera 13 - ven13right.png has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
