Dralibax

Hi Jeff,

I was trying to upload a photo and wasn't allowed, you said that I needed to re-upload it including metadata. However, the original photo was taken in 1944, thus there would be no metadata except what was included when I scanned it as it was when I was trying to upload it. Are you saying I need to re-scan it at a higher resolution?

Thanks Dralibax — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dralibax (talk • contribs) 00:48, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

@Dralibax: That would probably be helpful, as 825 × 996 pixels (0.822 megapixels) and 139021 bytes are pretty small. See also COM:SIGN.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 00:58, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Deletion request

Hi Jeff G.

Would you mind deleting this photo I just uploaded - I accidentally misnamed it.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Steve_Smith_drives_to_the_on_side.jpg

I intend to upload it again and replace on with off.

Thanks

Warning sign
This file may be deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:XENOPHOBIA (cropped).jpg, 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!

Advertising?

Hello Jeff G., wondering if you could take a look at these images. Seems like blatant advertising to me. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 05:20, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

@Lotje: There were bigger problems, I warned the user about them and tagged all the files.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 13:00, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Xenophobia?

Only me again... what to do you with these? thanks. :-) Lotje (talk) 05:22, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

@Lotje: Tag them as copyvios.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 10:57, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the link

Hey Jeff, Couldn't say thank you here then made this comment to say thank you :) . Commons looks just like a plate full of spaghetti! some rules make us confused and some are not enough strong to support gentle people over here. Rohalamin (talk) 13:05, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Your username highlight color

Hi, how come your username is highlighted in yellow? Thanks —Adaaaam (talk) 02:31, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

@Adaaaam: I like it that way.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 10:41, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Your edit

Regarding this edit, it almost got me too. It's weird how the Creative Commons declaration is made in the video description and seems to hide by default. —Locke Coletc 02:35, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

@Locke Cole: Thanks.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 10:02, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Deletion

Dear Jeff,

Please delete this file. It is an unused file, and the persons on the picture don't want their photo published on the internet.

Yours sincerely,
