HI - thanks for contributing to the commons. Please have a look at Commons:Copyright tags for the tags available, {{GNU}} does not exist, the template you are looking for is called {{GFDL}}. Thanks! -- Duesentrieb 09:43, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
Please do not label images as PD if they are not - always explaim why something is supposed to be in the public domain. Image:Australia lose to Bangladesh.JPG is clearly copyrighted and will have to be deleted. -- Duesentrieb 14:23, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Please add a description of your source to images like Image:Empress Matilda.jpg. It's clear that it's PD-old, but such images are pretty useless in wikimedia projects without any hint as to the author or time. If you found the file on the internet, please add the URL, if you scanned it from a book, please give some hints from the original caption and give author/title/year (and for newer books, ISBN) of that book. Thanks in advance. --AndreasPraefcke 11:03, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Georgius VI.jpg
[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Georgius VI.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. —Angr 09:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Edward the Martyr.jpg
[edit]![]() |
This media may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Edward the Martyr.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 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! |

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