Image Tagging Image:Simple_Labarum.svg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Simple_Labarum.svg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Changed the copyright notice and uploaded a new and slighly modified version of the image. Aethralis 10:44, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:Palissy rusticware featuring casts of sea life French 1550.jpg is a candidate for speedy deletion

Aethralis, I noticed that, when you created the image description page, you indicated that Image:Palissy rusticware featuring casts of sea life French 1550.jpg was licensed under a NonCommercial CC license. When I checked the Flickr site today (at http://flickr.com/photos/44124324682@N01/41235441/) it also indicated that the image was licensed under a NonCommercial license. You will notice at Commons:Licensing that noncommericial images are not within the scope of Wikimedia Commons. As such, I've tagged the image suggesting it be deleted via speedy deletion. If, at some future date, you contact the author and reach an agreement to license the image under a license within Commons' scope, you may request undeletion at Commons:Undeletion requests. Thank you. --Iamunknown 18:43, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

• Aethralis, thanks for the speedy update. I've actually never tried contacting a Flickr user before, and I didn't realize one might respond so quickly. I'll try next time. Again, thanks! --Iamunknown 03:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Aethralis~commonswiki!

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.

Your account will be renamed

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 Aethralis. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Aethralis~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
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
