[edit]Do you realise that were putting a half a Megabyte with the previous jpg version (and now you’ve switched to 2MB!) on scores of pages for a simple illustration?

Copryright & Flags of organisations
[edit]Hi, I've made some Flags of turkish organisations which were deleted because of copyright violation. Since I believe the flag of the Hisbollah] goes in the same category - what copyright-rule applies to it? --Mandavi 14:34, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
You really did it on Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg!
[edit]Good job! I was vaguely thinking of trying to improve it, but it seemed like a lot of work (especially for a movement which I don't much admire). AnonMoos
Image Tagging Image:Flag_of_the_Duchy_of_Parma.svg
[edit]
![]() |
Thanks for uploading Image:Flag_of_the_Duchy_of_Parma.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-2.5}} 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.

File:EightTNOs.png
[edit]Hello,
the image File:EightTNOs.png needs to be updated to include the newly discovered TNO 2007 OR10, which is probably larger than Orcus. Also, Quaoar's moon is missing. Could you do these changes? --129.70.15.51 15:51, 14 May 2009 (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.BotMultichillT 18:25, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Crest of the GG of Canada
[edit]Hello,
I revert your edit for the crest because the originally crest is based directly on the Governor General of Canada's own website: www.gg.com & [1], but if you still like the version you uploaded may I suggest you upload it as a stand alone variant?

--Túrelio (talk) 08:08, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello. What is your source for changes you did here? This source (by Jaume Ollé) noted that the ratio is 1:2, according to a Taliban representative abroad, like a version of User:Denelson83. The official site of the Taliban, posee una different big shahada, but with the design of Saudi Arabia, which you criticize.--Falerístico (talk) 19:49, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- Some weeks ago, i emailed Volker Preuß, site maintainer of http://www.flaggenlexikon.de. He told me that the shahada ist not the same like the saudi-arabien one, but rather similar to a Variant from Yemen. But, anyway, you should not care about such details like ratio, fonts or color shades in afghan flag, there are to many variants--Antemister (talk) 18:09, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Anyway, I think the Taliban flag should be in ratio 1:2, both the white field as the shahada. I have a version as well. I do not know what you think of the change.--Falerístico (talk) 14:11, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
How you create .png/.gif/.svg flags

(See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

Hi, I just noticed that a map you uploaded was changed by another user, so that the Channel Islands are now shaded as though they were traditionally part of Brittany (rather than Normandy), while the Shetland and Orkney islands are now not shaded on the grounds that they were Pictish but not Celtic (sic). I wanted to bring this to your attention so that, if you disagree with this edit, you can revert it. Solidarity, QuartierLatin1968 (talk) 18:01, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Flag of Acadiana Image
[edit]Hello,
Smithsonian Folkways Recordings are currently in the process of developing a new series of curriculum materials (called Smithsonian Folkways Learning Pathways) for educators (mostly music and social studies educators). These unique resources place recordings from the Smithsonian Folkways collection at the center of the learning experience. These will be FREE resources for all educators, everywhere. Each learning pathway is a curated musical journey through a historical, cultural, or musical theme (e.g. Music of the Chicano Movement; Sounds of the Civil Rights Movement; Cajun & Zydeco Music; etc...).
As part of these learning pathways, we are creating interactive student slideshows that will help teachers facilitate learning experiences in any educational environment both in-person or online. We wanted to let you know that we will be using the 'Flag of Acadiana' image seen on your Wikimedia Commons webpage. We are planning to use the image for our 'Cajun and Zydeco' learning pathway. We know that the image is under the public domain, and we will make sure to give you the credit for the image.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. 4nn1l2 (talk) 10:13, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
