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 05:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Your uploads in October/November 2011, referring to India : Categorisation
[edit]Hi, as reported before, please use useful categories and don't over-categorize your images, i.e. please do not categorize your uploads (an example of your recent activity):
You'll help to save time and capacity on commons by categorizing:
Please use as far as possible the category of the regarding city/town/village or district (if there's no category) etc., or, a localized better 'fitting' i.e. the 'most fitting"' category(ies). Do not add - in addition - the categories of the "parent category", among them cities, states and countries etc.
For further information on categories please read Commons:Categories referring to an accurate categorisation, simplifying your further uploads and categorisation in general. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the commons:help desk.
Thank you for your assistance, Roland 02:19, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:House for Mr Biswas 001.jpg
[edit]This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:House for Mr Biswas 001.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

- The license I added there was PD-Trinidad-and-Tobago which says that images are in the public domain 50 years after the death of the author. These are family pictures, from the Naipaul archives in the University of Tulsa Okhlahoma, and closed to the public. The book in which they were published, credit no photographer, so I assumed that the putative author is the main subject of the photograph, both of whom died before 1954 (ie. 60 years ago), and consequently they qualify for the PD-Trinidad-and-Tobago tag. For some reason though that tag is not showing up in commons, even though the public domain images pages mentions it. Maybe there is a different PD tag for them on Commons which has superseded the PD-Trinidad tag. Please advise. Thanks! Fowler&fowler (talk) 20:00, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- It seems that the PD-Trinidad-and-Tobago license does not exist on Commons. I have therefore copied the files under different names on Wikipedia and added them to the V. S. Naipaul page. You may get rid of these files. If at some future point it is determined that the tag is good for Commons, the pictures can be copied to Commons. Best regards, Fowler&fowler (talk) 17:22, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:VS Naipaul BBC.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:VS Naipaul BBC.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

- A work from 2004 is certainly not " taken prior to 1 June 1957" as claimed on the file description page.
- The BBC is not a crown body, i.e. not a government department but a public corporation of the Department for Culture, Media & Sport. Media from the BBC does not fall within the scope of Crown Copyright, see National Archives.

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:I keep the subject constantly before me 4.jpg
[edit]This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:I keep the subject constantly before me 4.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |
