Image deletion
[edit]The image Image:Spiderman.01.vm.jpg has been deleted on your request. Reason: <<Uploader asked on Village Pump whether these qualified as GFDL; the responses (now archived) suggested that the images were probably copyvio.>> [[1]] It is a photography of a publicly displayed statue. I did take and upload the picture originally. The Village Pump discusion is beyond my knowledge. Please tell me about the problems concerning the mentioned copyvio. 80.129.55.67 14:15, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC) [Veitmueller]

[edit]Hi, I asked User:Pipodv about an image he uploaded who has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests but he/she gave me a long reply in Spanish. I don't really understand Spanish and I have tried Bablefish which only produced nonsense. Perhaps you could help me? The reply is at User talk:Pipodv. Many thanks, Thuresson 10:42, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Scaled meta logo
[edit]Hi Dan. I noticed Image:Wikimedia logo for newsletter (small).png, which you scaled down. I suggest it would be better to upload the original size version, then use a link to the automatically-generated 135px thumbnail in your CSS code. I think I'll do this tonight if you don't object. dbenbenn | talk 5 July 2005 21:47 (UTC)
- I would have done that, except I can't figure out how to specify the dimensions of the image in CSS. I'd be grateful for any help you could give in that regard. — Dan | Talk 5 July 2005 23:37 (UTC)
- Actually, I don't know how to make a good transparent version of the large logo. If you could upload one to Image:Wikimedia logo for newsletter.png, I'll do the CSS for you. dbenbenn | talk 6 July 2005 00:01 (UTC)
- Thanks! Why don't you give the CSS at Image:Wikimedia logo for newsletter.png a try? It doesn't work right in Internet Explorer, but Image:Wikimedia logo for newsletter (small).png isn't any better. dbenbenn | talk 6 July 2005 15:48 (UTC)

Bloquear usuarios vandálicos
[edit]Hola
Would you mind to block user:Joanot Martorell and user:Far? Their first editions are enough for a temporary blockage, and their false identity claims deserve a permanent one. user:Joanot Martorell claims to be ca:usuari:Martorell (whose actual username for Commons is just user:Martorell. And user:FAR claims to be es:usuario:FAR who is a responsible and respectful Spanish Wikipedia user. Muchas gracias. --Erri4a User talk:Erri4a es:discusión usuario:erri4a 01:38, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for helping. In es: we have a vandal who think doing that is funny. I´m es:User:FAR (you can let me a message if you want to confirm this). I´m going to create a correct account (F-AR) although I think I don´t contribut to this project. If you need a help, you have one more friend.
- By the way, according to Special:Ipblocklist, it seems User:FAR is not currently blocked. You might want to try it again. dbenbenn | talk 22:14, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
- Hi! I've realized that someone attempted to claim being myself as User:Joanot Martorell, and so you have blocked it. Thanks for it!. Is it possible to know the IP address from wich it was created?. At Wikipedia in Spanish there is a user who I'm suspecting as the responsible of this attempting. I know the IP ranges used by this user, and I would be able to confirm my doubt if it's possible to compare IPs. --Joanot Martorell ✉ 18:27, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
F1 Flags
[edit]Hi,
I just wanted to let you know, that I created SVG-Versions of the Formula One flags and had one question: On Image:F1 chequered flag.png you wrote, that the color is Pantone BlackC, but the PNG is normal RGB-black. Which one is right? I used Pantone BlackC for my SVGs. --Boris23 20:19, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Lost password
[edit]Greetings! This is BD2412 (as in w:User:BD2412) - I've been locked out of my Wikimedia Commons account (which I've hardly ever used anyway) - apparently my password was not what I had remembered; so I clicked the "email my password" button, and it says I'm being emailed a new password (not what I intended), plus I never received the email (probably set to an address I lost when I graduated). Help would be much appreciated. I can verify my identity through my account at Wikipedia, Wiktionary, or any other English language Wiki project. Cheers! BD2412 T 01:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Situation fixed. Cheers! BD2412 T 04:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi! I'm sorry if this is a impertinent question, but I would like to confirm that you are indeed the photographer that took this photo. The reason that I ask is that a cropped version has appeared on wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Uchicagogate2.JPG under a claim of PD-self -- however, it is not a simple crop as the contrast is different, possibly suggesting a different source. Thanks, JeremyA 03:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC) --Don't worry about it, on further research it seems like a clear case of a copyvio by the en.wikipedia user. JeremyA 03:07, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Einstein Memorial.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Einstein Memorial.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 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 {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL 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.

Commons-l subscription
[edit]Hello Rdsmith4,
as per Commons talk:Administrators, I am asking all admins to subscribe to commons-l, a mailing list for Wikimedia Commons policy and project discussion. Since many admins are only on Commons infrequently, this is a good way to alert people about important happenings. The mailing list is nominally multilingual, but predominantly English.
If you are already subscribed to commons-l, I apologize for bothering you, and you are free to ignore this message. If you don't want to use your regular e-mail account, feel free to leave me a message, and I can send you a GMail invite. Traffic on the mailing list is relatively low, and we do not expect admins to read all messages to the list, but it would be nice if you could check on it at least every few weeks. Thanks for your time,--Eloquence 23:11, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Pay attention to copyright | Image:Einstein Memorial.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. The Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content, that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You can ask questions about Commons policies in Commons:Help desk.
The file you added will soon be deleted. If you believe this image is not a copyright violation, please explain why on the image talk page.

Administrative notice
[edit]Hi. This message is sent out to you because you are an administrator on Commons, and you made little use (or no use) of the admin tools lately: less than 5 times in the last five months.
Commons has a new policy on admin activity, Commons:Administrators/De-adminship, taken into use on June 13, 2007 (after a poll among users). According to that policy, admins who use their tools infrequently will be asked whether they still need their adminship, and if they do not respond or require them the removal of the tools will be requested.
If you feel you still need your admin tools, please sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section within 30 days from the date this message was sent out. However, if you then don't make 5 admin actions in the following 5 months, you will lose the adminship without any notice.
This is not a comment on the considerable help you have given to the project in the past but reflects the wish of the community to see active administrators and to ensure that possible security breaches are minimized.
Comment on Admin policy
[edit]Your comment here was inappropriate for an admin and has caused unnecessary offence. --MichaelMaggs 15:42, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Please go to Commons:Village pump#Attitudes to Admin activity & Community policy. --MichaelMaggs 21:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Adminship
[edit]My comment was not specifically pointed towards you, although it was triggered by your comment. Too be honest, I was not too happy when I saw several admins complaining about this policy afterwards, after we have all tried long to make create a more definite version of the already existing inactivity policy. What bothers me is that people do want to keep their adminship but do not know or do not want how to perform those 5 administrative actions that they are required to perform. I do not question whether or not you can be trusted with the admin tools, but I do question why you needed to call something that the active community worked on "fatuous". I believe that if you have done something to help the community, this would have been unnecessary. After all, in the time this has taken to both of us, we could have done something really useful, and the 5 administrative actions would have been easily reached. It might have been that my reaction was a little bit to strongly worded and I can understand that you may have felt insulted by it, just as some of us were insulted by calling the policy "fatuous", and I apologize if that was the case. -- Bryan (talk to me) 19:27, 11 September 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 06:09, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Please help replace this outdated license
[edit]Hello!
Thank you for donating images to the Wikimedia Commons. You have uploaded some images in the past with the license {{PD}}. While this was a license acceptable in the early days of Wikimedia, since January 2006, this license has been deprecated and since October 2008 no new uploads with this license was allowed.
The license on older images should be replaced with a better and more specific license/permissions and you can help by checking the images and adding {{PD-self}} if you are the author or one of the other templates that you can see in the template on the image page.
Thank you for your help. If you need help feel free to ask at Commons talk:Licensing or contact User:Zscout370.

It focuses primarily on Modern architecture, but also addresses Stripped Classic, Streamlined Modern, and roadside architecture. We would like to include your photo of the Federal Reserve building in Washington D.C. in the publication. This is a non-commercial publication, so I believe we are OK under the license, but will you please verify and let us know to whom we should credit the photo?
