User talk:Gweduni

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Gweduni!

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.

An update from Wiki Loves Monuments UK

Thank you for taking part in Wiki Loves Monuments UK

More than 300 people have contributed a total of 4,000 photos to this year's competition and we wanted to say thank you for helping us get this far. The competition runs until the end of September, and you can upload as many images as you want - so feel free to document some more sites. Or why not go through your old images to see if you have any others that could be submitted? Since you've already submitted some pictures to the competition, you might be interested in the banner mini-contest; to take part you crop your images to a 7:1 and upload a new version. You can find out more about how to do that here. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the competition and share it with others! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:24, 22 September 2017 (UTC)}

September 2019: it's Wiki Loves Monuments time again!

Hi

You're receiving this message because you've previously contributed to the annual Wiki Loves Monuments contest in the UK. We'd be delighted if you would do so again this year and help record our local built environment for future generations.

You can find more details at the Wiki Loves Monuments UK website. Or, if you have images taken in other countries, you can check the international options. This year's contest runs until 30 September 2019.

Many thanks for your help once more! MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:35, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

File:Younger brother, or, The sufferings of Saint Andre.pdf

 

Pay attention to licensing

Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. File:Younger brother, or, The sufferings of Saint Andre.pdf seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file. If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

@Ruthven: sorry, i don't see the issue here - looks like the copyright tag is accurate. Can you provide more info? Gweduni (talk) 06:46, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, the copyright tag is accurate because I changed it! You marked all these uploads as your own work, released under Creative Commons license. Unless you're 2-3 centuries old, it is a nonsense. --Ruthven (msg) 07:49, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

oh dear, I've been uploading using PattyPan and entering the CC BY licence into the license section. Can you advise on how to get round this? We have uploaded several hundred of these books so may need to do a bulk licence change if that's possible? Gweduni (talk) 08:08, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

@Ruthven: I've noticed you have used the PD-old tag so will use this for uploads from now on Gweduni (talk) 13:53, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

I think that I've corrected a certain amount of them, but feel free to double check. {{PD-old}} is a valid license tag for a 2 centuries old book, even if a little generic. You can use for such works {{PD-old-100-expired}} --Ruthven (msg) 14:18, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for making the corrections - will look over some of them to see if there are more still to do. For now we will stick with PD-old as can't guarantee the authors are in the lifetime plus 100 years or fewer category Gweduni (talk) 14:25, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

File:Calends of Cairo.pdf

File:Calends of Cairo.pdf 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.) This file is a copyright violation for the following reason: First published in the UK, and not published in the US within 30 days, so its UK copyright ran pma. 70 from the death of its author (1935). It was thus in copyright in the UK until 2005. Since it was in copyright in its hoe country on the URAA date (January 1, 1996) its US copyright was restored, and its publication + 95 years term will not expire until 2027. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
