Thanks for the feedback. Is somebody really keeping himself busy by copying images from commons to wikipedia??? I never uploaded this (or any other) image to english wikipedia. I'm a staunch supporter of Wikicommons and what it stands for. -- Lycaon 07:07, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Image for deletion

In accordance with Deletion Requests dated January 26 this image: Image:Interstate-405.png has been replaced by Image:Interstate 405.svg and therefore is scheduled for deletion as a duplicate. As you have this image on your credits page, I thought you would like an opportunity to modify that page and remove it prior to its deletion. Bas parler voir 20:31, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I'm writing regarding the edit you made on the licensing code for 1881 0101 tnast santa 200.jpg. When I uploaded this image I assigned a licensing code of GFDL and you changed it to PD-OLD. While I believe your code is accurate for the original engraving (created in 1881), it is not accurate for the digital image of the engraving (created in 2004). Can you explain why you assigned PD-OLD? Thanks. Donihue talk

Images

Image:Saddam Birthday Palace.jpg and Image:Saddam Mosque Mosul.jpg. I am not sure I understand. What do you mean it's no longer in operation? Both of the webshot folders are there... also... since I got them from there it seems that it should be adequate. Now, I could see having a problem with the copyright status I added since webshots always assumes fully copyrighted. My reasoning was because it was the album by a military-man in Iraq on his duties. You can tell this from looking at his albums. However, I just want you to make clear the reasoning exactly... they're unused so far so it's not really a big deal and if you're contesting my copyright status by inference then I'd concede... however, you put no source... which leads me back to not understanding. gren 08:32, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I just got that now... when I looked yesterday... so I can assure you that it was there as of yesterday. So, can you please remove the CSD for unsourced and if you would like to delete it for copyright reasons. Also, it becomes problematic to talk about removing images because sources are no longer there. If I leave all wikimedia projects would we delete the images I have claimed? The internet is not a stable place but I don't think it's reasonable to summararily delete images when sites may have gone down. This happens a lot when Flickr users leave and most times respected editors will get image that are CC-BY from Flickr and then the original uploader has left... however, the picture was released as CC-BY so it is still CC-BY. gren 07:47, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Sunpillar kirkpatrick.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Hello, Admrboltz!
Tip: Add categories to your files
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.

File:KennethBranaghRFFJuly09.jpg

Hello, you handled the OTRS permission for an image I uploaded, File:KennethBranaghRFFJuly09.jpg. I e-mailed the permission, and you stated that the permission did not include mention of a compatible license for Commons. Please view the bottom of the e-mail (don't know why the author did that), but he allows the image to be released under either CC-BY or CC-BY-SA (I selected CC-BY-SA when uploading). If you have any questions, please let me know. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talkcontrib) 23:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

The author appears to be saying "BTW" to make sure that I get his desired license(s). It could be similar to someone replying to an e-mail message, opening with a story, and then concluding with the initial intent of the message. The author clearly lists the licenses as any other image permission (better than some) I've had before. Indeed, if the permission had only contained "I well know wikipedia so there is no problem to authorize wikipedia to use my photo." then I definitely would have asked for further clarification. It doesn't make sense to ask the author to reply again with the exact same statement, just to remove the "BTW". --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talkcontrib) 00:19, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your assistance, I appreciate it. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talkcontrib) 06:00, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Dognin&Co

Hi, I apologize but I can't explain it in english. Tu as mis un bandeau concernant l'image que j'ai téléchargée sur Commons. Il s'agit effectivement d'un logo d'entreprise dont je ne suis pas directement l'auteur, mais l'entreprise est fermée depuis plus de 30 ans. De plus l'auteur du logo (qui date de 1841) est décédé. Je ne sais pas quelle est la prescription pour les logos des entreprises et à partir de quand ils sont dans le domaine public. S'il s'avère que le fichier ne relève pas du domaine public, je le retirerai. Merci de tes éclaircissements.--Maxence gd (talk) 15:16, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Translation

I’ll try to explain it in English (please excuse the errors). You handled the OTRS permission for an image I uploaded. It’s actually not my own work, but it’s an old firm logo, closed 35 years ago. Moreover, its creator (the logo have been drawn in 1841) is dead. But I don’t know when the logos fall in the public domain… If it’s not the good license, I’ll change it and if it’s not in the public domain, I’ll remove it. Thanks for these clarifications.--Maxence gd (talk) 17:34, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades...

Admrboltz, congratulations! You now have administrator rights on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard and Commons:Deletion requests), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons on irc.freenode.net. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators:#wikimedia-commons-admin.

You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading.

Please also check or add your entry to the List of administrators and the related lists by language and date it references.

Image Permission Help, January 10, 2012

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I hope that you will be able to help me with this. In the past, I uploaded an image to a wikipedia article that I created for an author, but because I didn't get a permission in on time, the image was removed. I've obtained the permission and had the owner of the image send it to the permission commons for Wikimedia, and that person has yet to receive a response, and a couple of weeks have gone by (that person sent it in again recently). The image is called My Pictures.jpg, and the image is the author on a ship facing the water. I'd like to have this image reuploaded so I can finally add it to the author page. I would really appreciate your help with this. Thanks (User: Melissa89, request for Judith A. Boss Article on Wikipedia).

My use of my own photo, and the TV station's permission to use the photo do not compose a copyright violation.

You marked a photo from Bridgemapper.com as a copyright violation. Bridgemapper.com is a site that my friend and I have created, and we created the photo. This is not a copyright violation.

I put this comment on the two places I found with the erroneous deletion notices, but please read the permission text carefully. They say "All Rights Released" -- never reserved. IFCAR (talk) 06:49, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

My apologies, as stated in both places you commented, I misread it. I attribute that to editing too late at night. Have a good day. --AdmrBoltz 16:48, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Picture of the Year 2013 R2 Announcement

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2013 is open!

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Hi, I noticed you have set up User:MiszaBot to archive your talk page. Unfortunately, the bot has stopped working, and given how its operator is inactive, it is unclear when/if this will fixed. For the time being, I have volunteered to operate a MiszaBot clone (running the exact same code). With that said, your input would be appreciated at Commons:Bots/Requests/ArchiveBot 1.

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

  • To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
  • To perform file name swaps.
  • When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
