Hello 19th Century Firearms,
You have uploaded several files that are copyright violations and you have done so despite our requests not to do so, and despite our instructions. If you do not stop uploading pictures that are not free, your account will be blocked. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Image casebook useful. Please leave me a message if you have further questions. Chenzw (talk • contribs) 06:21, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Your recent uploads
[edit]Good day. Could you please explain to me all these flickr uploads? For example this upload. The file in question, is under all rights reserved by 19th Century Firearms. However, you have uploaded the image here stating it's under CC-BY-SA-2.0. My quesion is, are you the flickr author? If you are, please change the license on Flickr, or please contact our OTRS team. Then OTRS can verify the permission for the files. Kanonkas(talk) 17:15, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Good day to you too. I understand there is some slight confusion going on here. And yes I did upload those images to flickr and I would love to change the licencing execpt I forgot my login information and my attempts to get it back proved fruitless. I tried putting in my basic info but the system says it has no memory of me. so I really don't know how to continue my self...(19th Century Firearms (talk) 18:00, 1 March 2009 (UTC))
- Then I would recommend contacting OTRS, to solve the copyright issues. If you have any questions, I'll gladly help you out. Best regards, --Kanonkas(talk) 18:08, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks a bunch. Take care. (19th Century Firearms (talk) 18:12, 1 March 2009 (UTC))
One more quick question. How do I contact them? Is it by the email? If it is, I'm having trobule with it and I'm unable to send any messages. Thanks (19th Century Firearms (talk) 18:21, 1 March 2009 (UTC))
- Here is the link. It gives you information about the process. To answer your question: yes. You will have to contact OTRS through e-mail. The e-mail address is: permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. You can e-mail using your prefered e-mail application. Such as hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc. If you'd please elaborate on the e-mail issue, then that would help us. --Kanonkas(talk) 18:42, 1 March 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.BotMultichillT 05:35, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Baker rifle image on Flickr
[edit]Greetings! I'd just like to ask a quick question: is this image of a Baker rifle on Flickr anything to do with you? The uploader has the same username as you, so the connection is logical. If so, I don't suppose I could ask that you change the license to a compatible Creative Commons license for upload here? That image would make a fine opening infobox image for the Baker rifle article, with the lower quality variations image you previously uploaded moved down the article into the "history and design" section. -- Sabre (talk) 15:40, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry. But I do not have access to that account. I understand that the image I uploaded is not a very good quality and I will try my best to get a better image if you wish. 19th Century Firearms (talk) 19:23, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- That's a shame. But still, if you think you may be able to get a high quality image like most of the rest you've uploaded, I can only say go for it! The more the merrier. -- Sabre (talk) 09:24, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
