File source is not properly indicated: File:Stenedorp.078roysfoto.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Stenedorp.078roysfoto.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Stenedorp.078roysfoto.jpg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. 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!

Hey, leuk dat je meedoet. Ik zag dat je al een heleboel afbeeldingen hebt toegevoegd. Er zijn trouwens meerderemensen die meedoen met foto's vanuit Oostende...

Ik hoop dat alles vlot werkt en dat je nog foto's online zult plaatsen :-) Als je met een vraag zit kan je ze stellen op de overlegpagina.

PS: je kan ons volgen op Twitter, of op website

Hallo Roy, Op Wikipedia en Commons is het beleid dat watermerken of andere zichtbare aanduidingen op foto's die niet behoren tot wat er origineel op de foto staat, in principe niet gewenst zijn. Ze ontsieren enorm de foto en voor dergelijke informatie dient de EXIF-data van een bestand. Wikipedia heeft als doel om een neutrale encyclopedie vorm te geven, waarbij zij acht dat foto's met watermerken die neutraliteit negatief beïnvloeden, een foto dient gewoon een foto te zijn. De informatie over licentie en auteur horen niet in de foto zelf dus thuis. Daarnaast beperken watermerken ook het mogelijke hergebruik van foto's, terwijl we juist als doel hebben om een encyclopedie te maken waarvan alle onderdelen opnieuw te gebruiken zijn en op die manier de wereld mogelijkheden te bieden in plaats van te beperken. Het wordt daarom sterk aangemoedigd dat u de foto's upload zonder watermerk, door u geüploade foto's met watermerk kunnen beter vervangen worden, dus als u de originelen zou willen uploaden bespaart dat ons werk en moeite en doet dat uw foto het meeste recht. Zou u de foto's waarop u een watermerk heeft geplaatst alsnog zonder watermerk willen uploaden? Alvast bedankt! Groetjes - Romaine (talk) 02:34, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

sorry, had het te laat gezien, is met een batch, zal proberen opnieuw te laden, bedankt.

Wikimedia Commons has a specific scope

---

Thank you for your contributions. Your image or other content, Stenedorp, was recently deleted, or will soon be deleted, in accordance with our process and policies, because it was not, or is not, within our scope. Please review our project scope, but in short, Commons is targeted at educational media files including photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text and video clips. The expression “educational” is to be understood according to its broad meaning of “providing knowledge; instructional or informative”. Wikimedia Commons does not contain text articles like encyclopedia articles, textbooks, news, word definitions and such. Each of these other kinds of content have their own projects: Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary and Wikiquote. If the content seems to fit the scope of one of those other projects, please consider contributing it there. Otherwise, consider an alternative outlet. If you think that the deletion was in error because the contribution really was in scope, you can appeal it at Commons:Undeletion requests, giving a reason why it fits our scope to help others evaluate the matter. Thank you for your understanding.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Roysfoto!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
