User talk:Dulliman

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Dulliman!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Copyright status: File:Massage.svg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Massage.svg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Chopper.png

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Chopper.png, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, 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. 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!

Categorization

Please stop adding images to high-level categories when they are already present in subcategories. For example, this, this, and this edit, amongst many. Additionally, you added multiple unrelated categories to Category:Space Exploration Vehicle for no apparent reason, and I had to remove multiple categories from Category:Space mining robots as they simply don't belong. Please be more discriminating when you add categories to things, and be more aware of if that image or subcat is already present in some way. Thank you, and please ask questions if you have any. — Huntster (t @ c) 02:10, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

I have indeed a question : Where's the description how to use categories and especially why (& when) to restrict them ? Dulliman (talk) 02:21, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Commons:Categories. Objects should only be in the most specific category or categories available. Remember the concept of "Who, what, where, when, how" when deciding what categories to use. — Huntster (t @ c) 03:41, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

I've just had to revert every edit you've made since I originally posted here. Category:Space Shuttles are already in Category:Reusable spacecraft, so adding individual images of space shuttles to that category is inappropriate. Same goes with adding things like Kennedy Space Center and MARS and Starbase to Category:Spaceports is inappropriate because they are all already in Category:Spaceports in the United States. Does any of this make sense? — Huntster (t @ c) 03:48, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Not really, as it's difficult to find any of these. There could be a sort of "keyword" besides "categories", then it might work. I saw many topics I'd call "over-subcategorization". Also see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Think_big_-_open_letter_about_Wikimedia_Commons Dulliman (talk) 03:56, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

That is a proposal and has no practical application within Commons today. You're getting way ahead of yourself, and causing others to waste significant time cleaning things up. — Huntster (t @ c) 04:00, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

There's a "temporary and humorous injunction" from Wikipedia regarding the "practical application" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignore_all_rules#History Dulliman (talk) 04:14, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Which works occasionally there, though less and less as the site has become better structured after all these years. While IAR is a policy on en.wiki, it is merely an unenforced essay here. Our two sites are very different in scope, policy, and activity. — Huntster (t @ c) 04:35, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

I would ask that you be a little more discriminating when adding Category:Space industry. It does not refer to industry (economics) but to industry (manufacturing), as in the concepts of designing and manufacturing equipment and materials for use in spaceflight. For example, the design and manufacture of satellites, stations, etc. Categories like Category:Space tourism and Category:Space food would fall under the first definition, so the concept you are looking for is space-based economy. — Huntster (t @ c) 01:06, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Once again, I've had to revert a majority of your categorizations from the last day because you keep adding images to parent categories when they already exist in child categories, namely the additions to Category:Lifting body spacecraft. Beyond that, you added a number of vehicles to that category that were never actually nor even designed to be spacecraft. For example, the X-24 vehicle might have been testing potential spacecraft applications, but it was only ever intended to be an atmospheric vehicle. Same with the X-38; the three prototypes built/planned were testing technologies, but they were always just atmospheric vehicles and were not designed or intended for actual spaceflight. Please be more discerning in your edits. — Huntster (t @ c) 00:13, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

File copyright status

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. While everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the project, one or more of your file uploads had missing or false information regarding its source and copyright status. Please note that Wikimedia Commons takes copyright rules and infringement very seriously. Files may only be uploaded and included if their copyright status meets the conditions stated in our licensing policy, and if their source is clearly documented. Files that fail to meet those conditions may be deleted, and users who fail to meet them may be blocked. Please follow our first steps, if you haven't already. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the Village Pump copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. --Yann (talk) 17:13, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
