Thank you for your contributions. Your image or other content, Federally Administered Tribal Areas, was recently deleted, or will soon be deleted, in accordance with our process and policies, because it was not, or is not, within our scope. Please review our project scope, but in short, Commons is targeted at educational media files including photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text and video clips. The expression “educational” is to be understood according to its broad meaning of “providing knowledge; instructional or informative”. Wikimedia Commons does not contain text articles like encyclopedia articles, textbooks, news, word definitions and such. Each of these other kinds of content have their own projects: Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary and Wikiquote. If the content seems to fit the scope of one of those other projects, please consider contributing it there. Otherwise, consider an alternative outlet. If you think that the deletion was in error because the contribution really was in scope, you can appeal it at Commons:Undeletion requests, giving a reason why it fits our scope to help others evaluate the matter. Thank you for your understanding.

File:Types_of_magazines.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!

Hello, Cyfraw!
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.

Category:Species

Hi: What is the purpose of Category:Species?[http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cryptogramma_acrostichoides&action=historysubmit&diff=61404298&oldid=6133831s I can't tell from its description. Should it contain any species pages? Why did you add Cryptogramma acrostichoides specifically? Normally, species pages are only categorized into the species category. Are we changing that practice?

Category:Nature reserves in South Tyrol

Hello. Thanks for your efforts in articles related to ST. Adding the Category:Province of South Tyrol, however, to the nature reserves is redundant, as they are already listed indirectly under this category tree via the path Category:Nature reserves in South Tyrol -> Category:Geography of South Tyrol -> Category:Province of South Tyrol, being thus part of the required hierarchical structure for categories. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 09:10, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

You left a "Vandalism is not appreciated" message on the subject page today for edits to the gallery Al-Qaeda. This is not a gallery that has ever exited on Commons.

Neither his contributions nor his deleted contributions show that he has made any edits since I blocked him for a week on November 11.

Also his only all time edits have been creating three times the deleted gallery Sascha Alessadro Bottcher and to two edits to Category:Black Eyed Peas. Are you sure you left the message on the correct page?      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 21:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes, when I was editing Category:Al-Qaeda - I notified him. But thanks for the notice I will try to keep an eye of it. --Cyrfaw (Talk) 22:13, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Also, the IP adress was making nonsense information and was trying to play here just to harm it. I warned him when I was editing Category:Al-Qaeda and I warned him to stop vandalizing the category gallery and the article you deleted was a fake person and did not exist. Thanks --Cyrfaw (Talk) 22:17, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Do have reason to believe that User:184.145.22.94 (who edited Category:Al-Qaeda) and User:184.145.16.67 (whose talk page you put the message on) are the same person?      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 22:25, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
I did a mistake I should put this on User:184.145.22.94 so I removed the message. Sorry for my difficult understanding. --Cyrfaw (Talk) 22:35, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Quality Image Promotion

Your image has been reviewed and promoted

Congratulations! Srinagar pano.jpg, which was produced by you, was reviewed and has now been promoted to Quality Image status.

If you would like to nominate another image, please do so at Quality images candidates.

We also invite you to take part in the categorization of recently promoted quality images.
Comments I have some minor remarks but as a whole it is OK for QI, imo.--PierreSelim 10:19, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

IP block bot

I note that you are looking at running a bot to block open proxies. I feel I should let you know that I would oppose such a bot on Commons. Commons has contributors from many geographical areas where open proxies are the only way to contribute. We only block open proxies when they are abused. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 09:08, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. I will try to shut down my bot. --Cyrfaw (Talk) 16:18, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Also I'm a native speaker on Wikimedia Commons. Is it better to help people if they know. --Cyrfaw (Talk) 22:35, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

I have no idea what language is to do with trying to run a bot to block open proxies I'm afraid. Sorry. --Herby talk thyme 08:31, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
