Goodies, tips and tricks
  • Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your Graphics abilities.
  • All your uploads are stored in your personal Gallery
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~
  • Use the CommonSense tool to find good categories for your files (then other people can find them too!)
  • To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:Image:Foo.jpg]], which produces: Image:Foo.jpg
  • If you're copying files from another project, be sure to use the CommonsHelper
Made a mistake?
  • Did you want to rename or move a file? Simply upload the file again and mark the old one like this: {{bad name|Correct name}}

Thanks for uploading Image:Flag of the Nordic Council.svg. 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|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license 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.

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:
  • Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
  • State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
  • If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
  • Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
  • Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Thank you.

Tip: Categorizing images[edit]

Hello, Kikos!
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.

Your Panoramio uploads[edit]

Hello Kikos!

Thanks a lot for your contributions! Thank you for transferring images from Panoramio to Commons! Two hints ahead:

  • Always upload the highest resolution of a photograph that is available on Panoramio
  • You can use this tool for your Panoramio uploads. It makes the whole procedure much easier and faster for you!

Thank you for your support! Greetings, High Contrast (talk) 18:40, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrol given[edit]

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Morning (talk) 10:54, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide reasons for negative votes[edit]

Hello Kikos! As written on FPC: Could you please give reason(s) for your opposes. This massively helps the photographers and is imho a courtesy because the people on Commons / FPC / QIC invest a lot of time to provide high quality photos. With en-3 it should not be a big deal for you to explicate your vote. E.g. I have no idea why you voted with  Oppose on File:Blick auf Kettwig mit Uferpalais im Herbst 2013.jpg. In detail reviews help the photographers to improve their skills. --Tuxyso (talk) 07:18, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request for advice[edit]

Thank you for your comment at Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Streisand Estate.jpg/2.

What else can be done to adjust the image so you think it'd be satisfactory to you for Featured Picture quality?

FPC[edit]

I do not ask you to support my images, you can oppose if you want. But after severals hours of work for one picture (find the good place, the good light, editing picture, publishing...), to hear that it does not look like a photo, is not very constructive but certain lack of respect in the formulation for the accomplished work, even if you don't like it. You can oppose and say you don't like colors, light, the edition or what you want. But even by not knowing how to very well speak English you can make a small effort not to be unpleasant. Thank you for your interest for my images. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 08:13, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is "FPC"? Btw if You promote Your images to "the best of Wikiphotos" You should be ready to hear negative comments. It is sad when Your several hours work is fruitless but as a photographer You again should be ready for this. Two Your last images are disapointing. It happens. None of my own photographies are good enough to promote. It happens too. Be adult! I'll always tell what I think in my own way of English (even Latvian no one can understand). Be polite to understand that, please! --Kikos (talk) 08:41, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why You think it is sarcastic? Just to help other users to find subject of photo in this FP candidate image. I let You opportunity to explain why You removed this useful note. --Kikos (talk) 07:24, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I hope it was not too dificult to find the birds to add the note, the photo show the bird in habitat, you don't like it's not a problem but you do not have to make edit in the purpose to be unpleasant. It is a motive to be blocked. I hope that you will understand this message before it is too late. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 07:56, 04 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Izveidojot jaunu kategoriju, lūgums savienot ar Vikidatiem. Jā, protams, pielikšana Vikidatos kā "Vikikrātuves kategorija" ir labi, bet savienot ar Vikidatiem būtu vēl patīkamāk. Tā jau daudz darba ;) --Edgars2007 (talk) 18:19, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

T.i., pie iw saitēm es neredzu saiti uz rakstu Vikipēdiju latv.val. Category:Buļļezers un uz attiecīgo kategoriju mūsu wiki šeit. --Edgars2007 (talk) 09:37, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Vēlvienreiz - par ko ir runa????!!!! Kas un kam pietrūkst???!!! --Kikos (talk) 10:24, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Kad Tu lvwiki izveido kādu rakstu, Tu taču proti to savienot ar citu Vikipēdiju rakstiem, ja? Pēc tādas pašas metodoloģijas jāsavieno Commons kategorija ar attiecīgo rakstu/kategoriju lvwiki. Lai izskatītos kā Category:Buļļezers tagad (lapas apakšā "Citās valodās"). Un tagad pamēģini Category:Rivers of Salacgrīva Municipality savieno ar w:lv:Kategorija:Salacgrīvas novada upes.

Hi Kikos, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

  • Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
  • Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
  • Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Latvian locator maps[edit]

Hi! Unfortunately source infomation for locator maps of Latvian administrative units has been contested. In addition to "Turku pagasts LocMap.png" mentioned above there are these imported files and 79 images out of parish locator map series were just deleted. Municipalities maps using the same style also seem to be in threat. Could you please clarify how were these maps produced. In case they are derivative works then what (hopefully free) source data did you use? Pikne 15:38, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! All these maps are created by me, using free data from different sources using ArcMap and Adobe Illustrator. I has this software legally at time of creation of all these maps. If someone is not sattisfied with this information, you can delete all this stuff. I'm not interested in any additional work to save them from deletion. In any case in lvwiki all these maps are stored as I originally uploaded. -Kikos (talk) 17:55, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Some type of source you can see in lv:Vikiprojekts:Latvijas pagasti. Section "Kartes". -Kikos (talk) 18:14, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Where does map data in "Kartes" section originate from? It would be nice if you could provide links to web resource(s) and permission info (can be in Latvian). We are probably not interested in software.
I'm very much interested in preserving these maps on Commons, several other users who have imported your maps to Commons over the years so that these can be used on other Wikipedias, are too, probably. Thanks for creating these maps! I'm willing to work on these images on Commons, but before taking further steps it'd nice if you could provide some more background information on specific sources. Pikne 18:55, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It was wery long time ago... Administrative boundaries was taken as "free data" from Latvian GIS agency from web source which today is there. You can find permissions too. I'm professional cartographer and I've created some datasets myself (and still have them) by scanning/digitizing historic maps. For historic parishes etc. -Kikos (talk) 07:07, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Important message for file movers[edit]

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) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Latvijas novadu simbolika[edit]

Sveicieni, atkal vēršos ar lūgumu palīdzēt vektorizācijā: Augšdaugavas novada un Kazdangas pagasta ģerboņi nav diez ko labi vektorizēti un Dienvidkurzemes novada karogs ([https://www.dkn.lv/lv/media/16302/download?attachment novada un tā pagastu ģerboņi) vēl aizvien nav pievienots.
.
Sadaļa par pilsētu karogiem vispār ir bēdu ieleja (pilnīgi jūtu, ka jāapgūst Inkscape pašam, lai palīdzētu, ja būs laiks).
