Hi. I will delete this image, as it is not freely licensed. Windows screenshots will be speedily deleted at Commons. Kjetil_r 00:10, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- Your complaints against them seem to be for fair use, and not for modification, commericial use, and distrubution. I believe it is actually you that may need to brush up on copyright laws. //Ae:æ 01:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- I have a copy of the screenshot on my computer. Why should I care if you allow anyone else to have one on their's?

Image deletion warning | Image:Evolutionists_Version.sxw 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 image, 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. If the file is up for deletion because it has been superseded by a superior derivative of your work, consider the notion that although the file may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new file. |

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful informations about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? 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. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

I trusted the Wikipedia to not delete this image since it was accepted under the rules that were in effect at the time it was submitted. Its deletion, however, in place of its view simply being hidden is problematic in that I no logger have the original due to a computer crash. If you had not deleted it I could have updated the license but now it is lost forever - something I trusted would not happen if placed in the Wikipedia;s care. shutterbug (talk) 05:35, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for providing images to the Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on the 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 Wikipedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best 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.

Hi,
I'm reviewing the software screenshots licenses and find you tagged public domain a software screenshot.
Is it a screenshot from your own software or a 3rd party one?
- If not yours, the license should be {{Free screenshot|{{GPL}}}} (if the software license is well GPL)
- If yours, is the interface contains copyrighted licensed components?
- If so, under what license? We should indicate those licenses in the screenshot.
- If not, you can indeed relicense the screenshot under public domain like license but you should do that like this:
{{Free screenshot|{{GPL}}}}
Furthermore, the software author licenses this screenshot under: {{PD-self}}.
Thank you for your help to ensure the free software copyright respect. --Dereckson (talk) 09:32, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Tip: Categorizing images[edit]
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.CategorizationBot (talk) 17:59, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed[edit]
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Shutterbug. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Shutterbug~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
