Image Tagging Image:John_graunt.jpg
[edit]
![]() |
Thanks for uploading Image:John_graunt.jpg. 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 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. -- Bryan (talk to me) 21:48, 9 January 2007 (UTC) Italic text
Hi, I did Licensed the image with "PD-old" and had added the link source. I'm putting the data in a tables does that help? Assafn 18:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- This is not a PD-Old image, it is a photograph of an actor from 1993, as described on this site. I have flagged it for deletion.--Cotinis 17:23, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Image deletion warning | Image:John graunt.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 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 If the file is up for deletion because it has been superseded by a superior derivative of your work, consider the notion that although the file may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in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. |

[edit]Thank you for your upload, but I had to delete it. It was under a non-commercial version of creative commons license, and non commercial images are not allowed on commons or wikipedia. Thank you. -- Drini 01:03, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello, and thank your for sharing your files with Commons. There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. Please remember that all uploads require source, author and license information. Could you please resolve these problems, which are described on the page linked in above? Thank you. --Siebrand 07:17, 10 August 2007 (UTC) This is my own work, I added the license Assafn 05:28, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Hello Assafn. The site copyright disclaimer says All photographs and imagery contained within the wallpapers.photo4everyone.com are made either by wallpapers.photo4everyone.com , the credited designer, photographer, image source as stated so, or from submissions offered by users. and later no responsibility is taken by wallpapers.photo4everyone.com for unauthorized copyrighted material found on this site. If they take no responsibility, it's a bad source and we shouldn't upload. Do you believe they took pro photos of hundreds of celebrities and are releasing them as free? I don't think so. Most of those are copyrighted imaged "recycled" as wallpapers. You can see some of those photos uncropped here. Regards, Badseed talk 08:14, 27 August 2008 (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) 10:42, 7 November 2011 (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 Assafn. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Assafn~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
