Вы не могли бы перед тем, как удалять описание изображения, скачать файл и проверить, что там что-то есть? Всё-таки лучше исправить создание миниатюр в MediaWiki, тем более, что когда-то всё работало... --EugeneZelenko (talk) 17:22, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Potd 2009-02-02

Hi Pauk! It seems that you nominated File:Pair of scrub wrens444.jpg to be Potd for 2009-02-02. But this is not a featured picture, so its is not eligible to be Potd. --Rotkraut (talk) 15:39, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I confused File:Scrub wren female Vocalising444.jpg. Please, change for other file. --Pauk (talk) 04:12, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
No prob, Ö did chose another one in the meanwhile. --Rotkraut (talk) 09:30, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Pauk!
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.

Warning sign
This media was probably deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Freeflyer nasa big.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Freeflyer nasa big.jpg]]).

If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work.

If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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!

File:Monument_on_the_top_of_Mound_of_Slory.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has 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 it, 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!

Problem

Hi, I was looking at Special:Newpages and noticed that some files you uploaded yesterday don't contain an image! e.g. File:Orange_and_twirly.jpg and File:Slack-jawed flower.jpg.

Your recent uploads/edits concerning Category:Rivers of India etc.: Categorizing - the "bad" and maybe the "good" way to do

Hi, please do not categorize (some examples of your recent activities):

1) Category:Rivers of India or/and
2) Category:Bridges in India or/and
3) Category:Lakes of India etc.etc.

Please save time and capacity on commons by categorizing:

1) Category:Rivers of NAME_of_the_STATE - for example Category:Rivers of Jammu and Kashmir or (better) Category:NAME_of_the_RIVER
2) Category:Bridges in NAME_of_the_STATE [ref. Category:Bridges in India by state] or sometimes the name of a specific bridge
3) Category:Lakes of NAME_of_the_STATE - for example Category:Lakes of Jammu and Kashmir or (better), for example, Category:Tsomoriri or Category:Dal Lake, two well-known lakes in Jammu and Kashmir you prepared flickr-uploads, too.

Please use as far as possible the category of the regarding city/town/village respectively state in India, and, do not add the - not specific enough - categories as of "xxx of/in India".

Thank you for your assistance, Roland zh 05:33, 18 October 2009 (UTC)


PS: Please be so kind/co-operative to re-categorize, estimated to be 20 flickr-uploads within one day "prepared" by you as above mentionned ("xxx of/in India") ...

Please don't be intimidated, by Roland. Though categories are import to find pictures they are not mandatory, rather nice to have. If the categories you add are not "specific" enough in somebody elses view, you should not take this personally. If that person has a problem he should fix it.

Category:Plantae

Hi Pauk, please note that Category:Plantae is NOT the right place to leave uploaded images. For many (most common) plant species there are already species categories that should be used. For unidentified plants please use Category:Unidentified plants.

Руслан Владимирович, хочу сообщить Вам, что данная правка [2] нарушает закон РФ об авторских и смежных правах (и правила данного проекта тоже). Поэтому прошу Вас в качестве жеста доброй воли отменить данную правку. В случае отказа прошу электронной почтой на адрес chobitok@gmail.com сообщить Ваши паспортные данные, почтовый адрес и почтовый адрес ближайшего к Вам местного суда общей юрисдикции. Более подробно моё мнение по вопросу Вы сможете прочесть на моей странице обсуждения. --Чобиток Василий (talk) 08:01, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

        • Руслан Владимирович, за свои поступки надо отвечать. Если система сильнее, она Вам поможет, а мои требования незаконны. Сообщите, пожалуйста, требуемую информацию, пройдет время, Вас пригласят, и Вы популярно объясните суду, что законы РФ и Украины об авторских правах в пролёте, поскольку Вам дана индульгенция на нарушение Закона рекомендациями некоего проекта. --Чобиток Василий (talk) 11:34, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

            • Русский для Вас неродной? Повторяю: "Если... мои требования незаконны". 1) Я сюда это фото не загружал. 2) Фото сюда было закружено с подписью копирайта. Повторю спокойно мои тезисы:
              1. Фото изначально загружено сюда с подписью копирайта.
              2. Подпись на фотографии и лицензия на её использование - разные, взаимонезависимые вещи. В соответствии с лицензией любой может вносить любые правки, но лицензия, при этом, не освобождает от соблюдения других законов. Лицензия не отменяет действие закона.
              3. Законы об авторских правах запрещают удаление копирайтов, поэтому, удаление копирайта ретушью фотографии - нарушение закона.
              4. Видя нарушение закона, я пытался это нарушение устранить.
              5. Правила проекта, на которые ссылалась свора набросившихся откатывать мои правки, требуют попросить у фотографа фотографию без копирайтов. У автора фотографии никто ничего не спрашивал.
              6. Я иду навстречу и даю обещание на моей странице обсуждения, что в случае прекращения криминальных действий, нарушающих Закон, отсканирую плёнку и загружу эту фотографию в лучшем качестве и без копирайтов.
              7. После этого Вы присоединяетесь к травле автора, откатываете, а статья блокируется на варианте, полученном незаконным путем.
            • Подскажите, после выше сказанного, какие иные у меня есть способы предотвратить нарушение закона, как не в судебном порядке? Ведь Вы и Ваши подельники неверно применяете не только нормы закона, но и даже сами правила этого проекта, на которые ссылаетесь.
            • Поэтому Вам остаётся: 1) понять и исправить свою ошибку в рамках проекта или, если уверены в собственной правоте, 2) довериться органам, отвечающим за соблюдение закона. Третий вариант возможен, но только если Вы не созрели как мужчина, чтобы отвечать за собственные поступки.
            • P.S. Со столь экстравагантной просьбой я обратился именно к Вам, т.к. Вы - последний и Вас не остановил даже такой комментарий: "Who crop the caption? Where is request for photographer? Don't return criminal version!" --Чобиток Василий (talk) 13:34, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Translation

Is russian native for you? I repeat "If... my demands are illegal"

  1. I did not upload this photo here
  2. Photo was uploaded here with a copyright sign

I will once again repeat my theses:

  1. Photo was uploaded here with a copyright sign in the first place
  2. Watermark on this photo and the licence for it's usage are different things that are not connected with each other. Licence gives the right to apply any changes, but it does not give the right to break the law.
  3. Copyright act prohibits copyright sign removal, that is why retouching the photo to remove the sign is a violation.
  4. I witnessed a deliberate act of breaking the law and was trying to dispose of this flagrant violation.
  5. The people trying to gang up on me advanced with an argument that my action violated the rules. Those rules state "someone should ask a photographer to provide a photo without copyright watermarks" Not a single person asked for it.
  6. I am willing to cooperate and I promise on my "discussion page" that if my request is fulfiled I will scan the film and upload a better quality photo without a copyright sign.
  7. After that you join those who are harassing the author, revert changes and the page is being blocked as a an illegal one.

Taking into consideration all the details mentioned above let me ask you a question. Are there any other ways except for judicial review i can use to dispose of this flagrant violation? Because you and your accomplices apply the laws and the rules of the project incorrectly

All you have to do is 1) conceive that you are wrong and correct the mistake or if you are so sure of your righteousness 2) let the specific committee take the control and decide. There's also another way but that is applicable only if you are not mature enough to take responsibility

P.S. The reason i'm adressing you specifically with such an extravagant statement is because you were the last and you did not stop even thought there is a comment that says "Who crop the caption? Where is request for photographer? Don't return criminal version!" --Чобиток Василий (talk) 13:34, 13 November 2009 (UTC) (Александр Мотин (talk) 16:26, 5 December 2009 (UTC))

Can you identify this island?

Can you identify this island (-> File:Toh Ko Bay Panorama.jpg) which you apparently have categorised as being "Ko Toh"? There is no Ko Toh in Thailand so which island might it be? - Takeaway (talk) 11:28, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

  • Ko Lanta? --Pauk (talk) 23:01, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
    • Why would you think that the image is of Koh Lanta? There does not seem to be any indication at all that it is Koh Lanta. - Takeaway (talk) 03:41, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
      • I discovered where that photo was made. I typed in "Tok Ko" in to google and it immediately came up with the island Koh Phi Phi. So it was not on the non-existing island "Ko Toh", nor was it on "Koh Lanta" (I still wonder why you decided that the picture must have been made there...) but on Koh Phi Phi. Just a few seconds on google would have given you the answer too, so you too would have been able to categorise your upload correctly. - Takeaway (talk) 08:16, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Can you identify this "plant"?

You have uploaded File:Lfy framed.jpg in to Category:Plants and Category:Berries. Could you identify this plant? Both these categories are actually only supposed to contain subcategories and not have any files directly placed in to them except those which are appropriate. You can see that in "Category:Plants", your recent upload is the only image file there, the 4 other files are audio files on how to pronounce the word "plant". "Category:Berries" should actually also be cleaned up some time soon as it has attracted a lot of image files from people who have no idea either of what they are uploading or just can't be bothered to place it in a correct category. - Takeaway (talk) 08:28, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Can you identify the location of this mill?

You have uploaded File:Mill Flanders.jpg but it remains uncategorised. Do you know in which locality this photo was taken? - Takeaway (talk) 08:49, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello Pauk!

Thanks in advance. --High Contrast (talk) 08:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, good, insert {{own}} as source (at all of your images) to make clear that your uploaded photographs are made by you. Giving "Samsung Digimax A502" as source is not sufficient, the images can be deleted due to the missing of a source. Please correct that error of all your file.

permission to use your picture, ST_MRE~1, of Sainte Mere Eglise

Dear Paul, My father is publishing a small book of his memoirs (in the US). It will have a small circulation (<200) since it is mainly of interest to his family and friends. He is an old navy man and a history buff. He admires the picture of Sainte Mere Eglise that you posted on Wikimedia and would like to use it in his book. It would appear inside the book. I want to check if it is OK that he use the photo. If it is, how would you like to be credited? Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Dorine Starace 74.105.161.176 15:21, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

permission to use your picture, ST_MRE~1, of Sainte Mere Eglise

Forgive me Pauk. Was a typo not an assumption (k and l are next to each other on keyboard. You can contact me at dorines@gmail.com as well. Sincerely, Dorine S

Pauk, THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. Best Regards, Dorine 74.105.161.176 13:23, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I have deleted the above image- the exact same file has already been uploaded and deleted from Commons. There is no freedom of panorama in the Ivory Coast, meaning that images like this of modern buildings must be considered non-free, in the same way scans of artwork must be considered non-free derivative works. If you have uploaded any similar images, it would be very helpful if you would tag them for deletion. If you have any questions, I am reachable on my talk page.

Flickr uploads

Hi Pauk - saw you'd uploaded a couple of pics of birds on gravestones with Flickr upload bot - unfortunately that bot doesn't pick up a lot of the information (notably locations) off the Flickr page. Have you tried the new Flinfo tool for Flickr uploads? You just put the Flickr photo number (e.g. 796477306 ) in the box, and the bot does most of the rest for you, picking up most of the information automatically. Hope this helps! - MPF (talk) 11:00, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Would you know what plant it is that you have uploaded?

You have uploaded File:Oregano growing on the beach.jpg under Category:Plants which seems a bit much for just one plant. Would you happen to know what plant it is which you have uploaded and would you be so kind to categorise it correctly? - Takeaway (talk) 17:35, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Same request with File:Monarch on Oregano.jpg which you categories under Category:Plantae. - Takeaway (talk) 17:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

And this one -File:Ancora il mio amore, Echinopsis oxygona.jpg- which you have put under Category:Flowers. - Takeaway (talk) 17:38, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps you could also look at File:Passeggiata pomeridiana.jpg too which you have also put under Category:Flowers? - Takeaway (talk) 17:42, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

And here are a few others which you have uploaded and which should be fairly simple to categorise instead of just putting them all in to Category:Flowers --> File:Bauhinia blakeana (Hong Kong Orchid Tree).jpg, File:Beach Hibiscus flowering tree.jpg, File:Bleuet cornflower.jpg and File:Clivia clivia.jpg. - Takeaway (talk) 19:41, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Locations

Why are you refusing to add the location data from Flickr uploads where it exists? This is one of the most important aspects of photos added to wiki commons. - MPF (talk) 11:17, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Locations, Locations, Locations

You've done it again . . . File:Long Tail bird.jpg. The identity and location are clearly indicated in the Flickr original. So why did you not add them, and then place it in Category:Unidentified birds? You are just creating extra work for other editors to tidy up your neglect. If you're going to upload phots, please do so properly. Thank you. - MPF (talk) 01:01, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Causing edit conflicts

I note that you added a category to an image in the same minute that I uploaded the image. Please leave it for at least 10 minutes and preferably 30 mins to let the editor doing the uploading finish what he or she is doing. I was just preparing to add a category for the bird species, and you caused me extra work, because I had to remove the category Birds that you added. Snowmanradio (talk) 11:19, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

OK. :) --Pauk (talk) 11:28, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

LOCATIONS

Most of the Flickr photos you are uploading include location information. Why are you consistently refusing to add this important data?

Also, please place images in their correct species categories, not in main categories like Category:Birds, which should not contain any files. Please read Commons:Categories for guidelines.

(Google Перевод) Большинство фотографий Flickr вы загружаете включать информацию о местоположении. Почему вы последовательно отказывается добавить эту важную информацию?

Кроме того, следует размещать изображения в их правильной категории вида, не в основных категорий, таких как Категория:Птицы, которая не должна содержать какие-либо файлы. Пожалуйста, прочтите Commons: Categories принципов. MPF (talk) 10:09, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

OK thanks! At least, when a scientific name is given by the Flickr user (e.g. here), please use this as the category - most times, it is correct (there are occasional misidentifications, that can be corrected later). Also, it is a lot better if you can use the Flinfo tool for Flickr uploads, it manages the Flickr information better than the flickr upload bot. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 11:10, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
(Google Перевод) ОК спасибо! По крайней мере, когда научное имя задается пользователем Flickr (например, здесь), пожалуйста, используйте эту категорию - самый раз, это правильно (есть иногда ошибочны, которые могут быть исправлены позже). Кроме того, это гораздо лучше, если Вы можете использовать Flinfo Tool для добавления Flickr, она управляет информацией Flickr лучше Flickr Bot загрузки. Спасибо! - MPF (talk) 11:10, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

When you do the sort of recat you did yesterday to this file, please be sure to leave User cats such as Category:NRHP site pictures by User:Jameslwoodward with the file. Do not move them to the new category or erase them. For those of us who upload a lot of images they are very convenient. Thanks, . . . . Jim . . . .

Your flickr uploads of March 17, 2010: Categorisation and please avoid to overwhelm Category:Churches in Switzerland, Category:Mountains of Switzerland, Category:Valleys of Switzerland etc.etc.

Hi, please do not categorize flickr uploads (an example of your recent activity):

Category:Windisch +
Category:Churches in Switzerland +
Category:1308 establishments +
Category:Monastery churches +
Category:1300s churches

Please save time and capacity on commons by categorizing:

Category:Königsfelden Abbey
BTW: Every Swiss canton (state) has a church-related category at least p.e. Category:Churches in the canton of Aargau, i.e. please avoid to overwhelm again Category:Churches in Switzerland respectively country-specific 'sub'-categories. btw2: In general, for most of known buildings (p.e. "Bundeshaus Bern") and so on, there are categories already created.
The same for Category:Mountains of Switzerland, Category:Valleys of Switzerland etc., please at least try to categorize more specific, p.e. Category:Pilatus for a relatively known mountain, or at least (p.e.) Category:Mountains in the canton of Bern and so on!

In general, once again, please use as far as possible the category of the regarding city/town/village or district (if there's no category), or, a localized better 'fitting' i.e. the 'most fitting"' category(ies), and, do not add - in addition - the categories of the city, state/canton etc. and country, too.

For further information on categories please read Commons:Categories referring to an accurate categorisation, simplifying your further uploads and categorisation in general. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the commons:help desk.

Thank you for your assistance, Roland 19:21, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

==> Please stop to categorize p.e. Category:xxx in Switzerland and try to categorize as above mentionned on March 11 and 17 and before ! <==
==> Please do not continue as before, now you start to overwhelm also Category:Rivers of Switzerland ... imho some kind of vandalism :=(( ==
— Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.56.162.147 (talk • contribs) Herzi Pinki (UTC)

Categories, again

I have just spent about four hours taking images out of Category:Churches and putting them into more specific categories. About a quarter of those images were your uploads from Flickr. If you are going to take images from Flickr, please make certain that you put them in an appropriate specific category. That is usually at one administrative level below country -- States in the USA and Germany, Cantons in Switzerland, Counties in the United Kingdom, and so forth. They can also go into other specific categories.

I see above that you have been told this before, both with respect to Churches and with respect to other things. There is rarely any reason to add an image to Commons if you don't know enough about it to add a specific category. General categories -- "Churches", "Birds", "Plants", and most other single word categories are never useful -- they just create work for the rest of us. Thank you. . . . . Jim . . . .

Загрузка изображений с Фликра

Будьте добры, добавляйте по возможности к загружаемым с Фликра фотографиям метку "commons.wikimedia.org". Это позволяет избегать дублей. Я уже натыкался на подобные, когда Вы загружали на Склад мои фотографии вместе со мной. С уважением, и.М. И. Максим (talk) 20:15, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Неизвестный Отец

Здравствуйте. Вы убрали из описания файла File:Отец Протасьева С.Н.jpg шаблоны «Нет источника» и «Проверить категории». Между тем, к данному файлу, действительно, не указано никаких ссылок на источник. Более того, вообще неизвестно Протасьев ли это, Нестерович, или вообще какой-нибудь Плотский-Поцелуев — об этом нет ровно никакой достоверной информации. Соответственно, на данный момент нет и никакой возможности адекватно категоризировать это изображение, поскольку не известно, что за человек на нём запечатлён. Какой же смысл убирать шаблоны, будто бы никаких таких проблем не существует? -- Ivan Simochkin (talk) 17:15, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Источник был указан. Скан фотографии. Фото сделано до 1917 года - то есть махровое PD. А кто изображён - тема отдельного разговора. В любом случае никакое не быстрое. Если хочется - надо обсуждать. --Pauk (talk) 17:20, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
А, понятно. Только обсуждать, кто там изображён, не с кем: участница, загрузившая фото, много лет как забросила Википедию. Так он и останется неизвестным отцом :-) -- Ivan Simochkin (talk) 17:25, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Так пусть сообщество обсуждает. Наверняка будут авторитетные мнения. Поэтому при явном PD никак быстрое не подходит. Если есть желание - на обсуждене надо. --Pauk (talk) 17:32, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Kelly (talk) 15:30, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Just a couple of things here, Pauk. First, Kelly's tagging of this file as a copyright violation was not vandalism, as you claimed in your edit summary. Please don't make accusations like that. Secondly, don't attempt to sweep problems under the rug by removing legitimate problem tags from your own uploads without discussion. Thirdly, don't edit discussion archives that clearly state that you shouldn't edit them. LX (talk, contribs) 23:27, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
It is not a copyright violation. This image from Flickr has free license. Sorry, maybe it is not vandalism but be more carefully --Pauk (talk) 02:29, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
It is a copyright violation, because it depicts a non-free work. The Flickr user is not the copyright holder of the depicted work. Taking a photo of someone else's non-free work does not give the Flickr user the right to issue a license for the result. This was all explained in Commons:Deletion requests/Crazy Horse Memorial.

No source files

Please refrain from removing {{No source since}} tags from files that do not bear a verifiable source. Doing so is considered highly disruptive and may result in a block. Consider this your only warning. -FASTILY (TALK) 19:22, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

  • Why? You can say me my mistakes about sourses images? Please, unblocked me and say how I must write about source! I don't understand it. --Pauk (talk) 06:31, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
I already told you above not to remove no-source tags from files which lack verifiable source information. A source such as "Reproduced from an original postcard published by the Detroit Photographic Company" is NOT a verifiable source. For all we know, you could have made this up! A good source must be verifiable by other editors, and the source information you have provided is inadequate in verifying the files' copyright status by third parties. You are blocked because you ignored my warning and continued to remove no-source deletion tags without addressing the concern noted by the tags. -FASTILY (TALK) 06:39, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Who must verified these postcard? I didn't uploaded its in enWiki. It done by other users. Please, See Categories: 19** postcards. There are very many postcards. There source is as Scan. Why you write "no sources" only in these eight postcard? Please, unblocked me. I badly understood about your message about source. Let other users verified. --Pauk (talk) 06:47, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
I have unblocked you because you appear to be willing to discuss your no-source tag removals. Please refrain from removing deletion tags at this time. I invite you to discuss source verifiability at my talk when you're ready. Regards, FASTILY (TALK) 08:31, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Correction: there under a claim that it's freely licensed, but with no evidence of that actually being the case. If you look at the English Wikipedia uploader's talk page, you'll see lots of no permission notices, so it seems to be a recurring problem with the user's uploads.

  3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

File:0 Verdun - Cemetery Douaumont (1) jpg

Dear Pauk,

I need your support again to help me to keep the image:0 Verdun - Cemetery Douaumont (1) jpg in Commons.

Despite the formal decision on maintaining this photograph in Commons following the six positive votes of the 7 September 2011 (including yours), the user:Eleassar ask again the deletion.

Can I ask again your help to maintain this photograph as de minimis in Commons.

Thank you in advance and best regards.

Pay attention to copyright
File:Worldfair.jpg 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.)

Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

This media was probably deleted.
Thanks for uploading File:Labynkyr Lake.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.

Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own).

The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Labynkyr Lake.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Hi! It has come to my attention that you have removed a warning which says that a file doesn't have enough information about the source or license conditions. Nevertheless, it seems to me that this information is still missing and I have restored the tag. You may either add the required information or, if you think that required information is already given, put the image up for a deletion request so that it won't automatically be deleted. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:Landscape near South Londonderry.jpg. 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.

No required license templates were detected at this file page. Please correct it, or if you have any questions please contact me on my talk page. Yours sincerely, Jarekt (talk) 16:50, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
