Image Tagging Image:Soccerball current event.svg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Soccerball current event.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-3.0}} 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. --Filnik 14:24, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

He, I had just uploaded the image and was just editing the image description including the copyright statement when you tagged it. You guys are too fast. Anyway, "problem fixed". (Yes, this comment added way later. Mostly so I and others know the problem has been fixed.) --Davidgothberg 09:49, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I restored the image, as i strongly disagree with your deletion. It is definitely not a speedy. Also, EU law do not apply to US servers. See my comment on the image talk page. -- Chris 73 20:19, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Image deletion warning

Image:Octagon_delete_05.svg 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. In all cases, please do not take the deletion request personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

Note to self: The template and signature you see above was not really left by me, but by an automatic script that ran when I nominated a file for deletion. Very confusing...

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Davidgothberg!

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.

Note to self: The image page had been blanked by a vandal. Thus the bot thought it was uncategorised and gave me this notification. Thus I found out the image page had been blanked so I could fix it.

Your allegation

David, I was just informed about your allegation. This allegation is false and a defamatory statement. I never lied on the book cover. Edition Nove created this book cover in 2007, and I received even an email from them that the rights are in my hands.

What you say about this photograph of course, I cannot verify, and if it is true that the publisher stole the photo, then the publisher is responsible for it and lied to me. Of course I still have the emails (which I also submitted for the rights check if I remember correctly) so I can easily prove this. So - the publisher says that I would have the rights on this cover, which I submitted. I think the right on the cover is another right than that on the photo. If there has been a copyright violation by the publisher, then the photographer should contact them. I am not sure if it would be legal to delete the cover from Commons because this books has been printed and is still available. I would expect that this affair would have to be handled between Edition Nove and the photographer.

Your second allegation is even more false. The artist of the Vermells cover is a personal friend of mine, and he used and changed an image, which is free for this use (he bought the graphics package, which he needs and uses in his profession). So he is the owner of the copyright, and he released the cover for this use. I also submitted his statement (or maybe he sent it himself, I don't remember anymore) to Commons.

• So first I ask you to withdraw your saying that I would be a liar.
• Second, if you contact the admins, then please tell them the whole truth that you know now. Then I guess it would be to decide on how to act in such a situation.
• Third, I ask you to withdraw all your false allegations about the Vermells cover.

I also want to mention that my blocked account on the English Wikipedia has nothing to do with these graphic files. I was blocked because it is forbidden to contribute to one's own article, what I did. But it is not forbidden to upload my own photos and the scans of the book covers as long as I own the rights on them. I only uploaded the two book covers that you mentioned, because I have their rights (even if there might be a problem with the photo on the Edition Nove cover now). I know that for example for the Hominide book someone used the cover, too, but I think this was under this fair use modality, which is possible on the English Wikipedia and because this cover is displayed on every Internet store that offers the book. I did never upload the Hominide cover because the publisher still holds the rights. --Klaus Ebner (talk) 19:12, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Note to self: I have moved this discussion back to User talk:Klaus Ebner so the discussion doesn't spread out over several pages.

Your allegations

David, the emails of the publisher (for Lose) and of the creator of the Vermells cover have been stored by the admins of Commons. There is a kind of repository which holds this information!

And stop with your false allegations. I did NOT commit any crime. I already sent an email to the publisher to clarify this affair. Concerning the Vermells cover, it is you who are totally wrong.--178.190.93.71 07:01, 5 October 2011 (UTC)--Klaus Ebner (talk) 08:10, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

In addition, you say that there would not be information about who created the Vermells cover. This is not true. Read the Vermells page in Commons. All is there: Christof Pelz, Grafifant Design. --178.190.93.71 07:03, 5 October 2011 (UTC)--Klaus Ebner (talk) 08:10, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, seems that I wasn't logged in before. --Klaus Ebner (talk) 08:10, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Note to self: Klaus left the exact same messages on his own talk page. I will comment there.
