Hello, and thank your for sharing your files with Commons. There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. Please remember that all uploads require source, author and license information. Could you please resolve these problems, which are described on the page linked in above? Thank you. --Siebrand 21:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- The only thing I updated was to change the "source" from "own work" to "self-made", since the picture is taken by me. Is that all I needed to do? Thanks! Warrakkk 06:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Cryo_martin_rudefelt_live.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Cryo_martin_rudefelt_live.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-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.

- I'll find out the exact copyright status of the image and update the tags accordingly. Thanks for staying vigilant! :) Warrakkk 13:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- I have confirmed with the owner of the image and explained the GFDL, and he gave permission to release it under the GFDL, so I added a source and modified the License. Warrakkk 18:30, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- Please send the permission info to OTRS - I've removed the "no source" tag, but tagged it as "permission missing" for now. --Davepape 01:52, 3 November 2007 (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 06:27, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- Image:Vacuum 2002 (Lindblom, Wollbeck).jpg is uncategorized since 6 March 2009. BotMultichillT 06:27, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- Image:Fra Mauro Crater.jpg was uncategorized on 6 September 2009.
- Image:Fra Mauro Crater.jpg is now categorized. I removed the Uncategorized-template as well. Image:Vacuum 2002 (Lindblom, Wollbeck).jpg has been categorized for some time. Thank you. Warrakkk (talk) 13:04, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
File tagging File:Folk på is, Badhusparken, Östersund.jpg
[edit]This media was probably deleted.
|
Thanks for uploading File:Folk på is, Badhusparken, Östersund.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:Folk på is, Badhusparken, Östersund.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

- I have contacted the copyright holder and asked him to send the permissions template (properly filled out, naturally) to the proper email address. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Warrakkk (talk) 14:16, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Picture of the Year 2013 R1 Announcement
[edit]Reminder: Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2016 is open!
[edit]You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2016 Picture of the Year contest.
Dear MickOhrberg,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2016 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eleventh 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 (2016) 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 were 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.
There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category.
In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 2 will end on 20 April 2017, 23:59:59 UTC.
Thanks,
--Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 08:43, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
