Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed?

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

File tagging File:Skulldog.png

Thanks for uploading File:Skulldog.png. 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).

@Omphalographer: Hi there! I asked the original uploader/artist to comment on the post, which he just did, stating "licensed under CC-BY SA 4.0". Is the template safe to remove now? Kindest regards, LunaEatsTuna (talk) 21:11, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Can you link to that comment from the file description? Omphalographer (talk) 21:13, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

@Omphalographer: How does that look now? I checked in an incognito browser and it seems like the URL is viewable when logged out from IG. I will archive it on the Internet Archive too when it is online again. Thanks for the fast response, LunaEatsTuna (talk) 21:22, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

That's perfect! Thanks for following up. Omphalographer (talk) 21:24, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

@Omphalographer: Hey, sorry for the question, I am inexperienced and not sure if there is an appropriate place to ask this: If something (say a YouTube video) is marked as CC-BY-SA but the description says something contradictory, such as "no derivates," "only rule: do not upload to Twitter" (etc.), does this invalidate the CC-BY-SA license or does the license automatically invalidate any requests made by the author in the description? All the best, LunaEatsTuna (talk) 19:14, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

We frequently get into arguments over that exact question; it's not an entirely settled matter. :) But, as a general rule, there's the precautionary principle: if there's "significant doubt" over whether a work is freely licensed or not, we err on the side of caution and assume we can't use it. A statement by the author which explicitly contradicts the license, like "no derivatives" on a work with a license which would ordinarily permit that, would create significant doubt over that license. Statements like "don't upload to Twitter" are in more of a grey area; they're often considered requests, rather than a part of the license. Omphalographer (talk) 20:04, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
