The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion.

Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
Thanks for uploading File:Thummer.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:Thummer.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
It seems that this file needs a confirmation e-mail from its copyright holder(s) in order to be hosted on Commons. It is the case for any copyrighted logo, content coming from an identified website or publication, or credited to somebody else than the Commons user. The copyright holder (maybe it's you, maybe not) should send us an e-mail in this form to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. When the e-mail has been sent, please apply {{OTRS pending}} on the image page (in the "permission" field) to tell us so (and to prevent the file from being deleted). Please don't ignore this message, contact me instead if you want to discuss the issue or if you have a question about the procedure. Eusebius (talk) 23:11, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shoulder-synth, I'm sorry but I have to jump in here. The three files above were all licensed as PD on the english wikipedia. You can't just relicense them under GFDL. That is copyfraud. In addition, I don't know where these additional licenses came from, so if you added them, stop doing that. If the bot added them do tell the bot owner that the bot makes mistakes. If things are unclear ask somebody, please. --Cwbm (commons) (talk) 08:11, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your notification!
As you said, I checked original upload log again and again, and I couldn't find {{GFDL}} tag in nowhereanywhere ... It's my mistake.
BTW: These 2 images are originally licensed under {{NoRightsReserved}}. Can't these images transfer to Commons without original author's relicense ? --Shoulder-synth (talk) 08:32, 20 January 2010 (UTC) [mod in italic] --Shoulder-synth (talk) 10:37, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"no rights reserved" in combination with the upload comment "Personal photo." should translate to PD-user... . So I think to change that should be okay. And I think you have to change that acctually, but I'm not sure. --Cwbm (commons) (talk) 08:45, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
OK. I've changed license tag to {{PD-user-w}} from {{PD-author}}, because the author is also en:wiki user. What a complicated system ! If current status meets deletion rule, I can't do anymore ...

Hi Shoulder-synth, thanks for correcting the mistakes. You can ignore the two above messages for now since they are bot mistakes. I contacted the bot owner who hopefully is gonna fix that. --Cwbm (commons) (talk) 08:30, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, cool. But all necessary info to prperly categorize images is the one that I've left. Just compare with Polska - and this is about whole country. Do you see sth more than couple trivial facts? So pls - don't make second articles from Commons categories, cos its not their function. Nor it is to expose ext. links in them and any other stuff like this. They serve only for purpose of categorizing files and for it one phrase description is more than enough. There is a link to enwiki article, the category has got a good, descriptive name - thats all that we need. But I see that you have this habbit not only in the discussed one. Really - it's not a place for huge descriptions and linking. It's just a media repository - if I need to know sth more, I'll follow interwikis to an wiki article. Masur (talk) 22:12, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the right to edit isn't connected by any means with the nimber of pictures uploaded. And if one is doing sth wrong, like you, I wont hesitate to correct it. The place for the text is Wikipedia, here we store pictures only. More about it: Commons:Categories#Creating_a_new_category. Pls notice: A short description text that explains what should be in the category. - so in the category should be a hint what to put in it and not the description of a subject. Also here: Commons:Galleries is clearly noted: A brief description of the subject and Commons is not an encyclopedia. Our main purpose is not to educate readers through text. If they want to read more about a subject, Wikipedia exists solely for that purpose.. Is it clear now? ah, and BTW. you cannnot even call the en-wiki article as a "main one" and to link exclusively to it - you know, Commons is supposed to be multilingual - therefore sth like interwiki was invented, not be biased to any version (if many versions are avaialable of course). So I really advice you to make/change descriptions of categories for sth like: "The category groups images of guitars of XXX.inc" And XXX.inc can be a link to enwiki article (+interwikis if possible). Any longer description shouldn't be placed. The name and a short decription of category should clearly show what is in, and what to put in. As is the case for "zillions" od ofther categories, including very "major" ones like: Category:United States or Category:Ford vehicles. Do you see any external links? Any detailed description? Any elaborated timelines? Nope. Cos it's a category not an article. I just hope, that by giving you two links to tipses&tricks about categories and galeries and two examples (could be more of course) I clearly showed that your way of doing it is not the one which is and should be used. Do you have any counter-arguments for it? Like guidelines and rules stating sth different? Or a good example? Masur (talk) 07:20, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And as I read here: User_talk:Shoulder-synth/archive.1#Category:Harmony_Company, two other persons also pointed it out to you. Also reffering to the certain guidelines. Isn't it? Pls don't be stubborn, cos it won't make any good. Your input is highly appreciated, but it doesn't mean that you can work against rules and guidelines that were worked out here. Thx. Masur (talk) 07:35, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Mr. Masur, I can't understand your English.
Please use correct English word. Geek'ish abbreviation such like a "sth" or "pls", (I don't know what these mean), or misspelled words cause trouble on discussion. If you are not familiar with English, spell checker may help your communication. I always use it.
Your attitude on this issue may be out of manner.
I wrote message on your page, but you just ignored my message and revert again, then wrote message on this page. It is out of manner.
If you can take care of fairness, these discuss should be continue on talk page of the category. On such a place, someone may translate your language into proper English, and we can communicate, may be.
ok, like I said. I showed you some rules and examples, you got also some notice from other users, but instead you're pointing out my misspellings. Not good. Please take some time to study issues related with categories. Masur (talk) 10:12, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I added a "one line-description" in Category:Harmony_Company. That helps users to find out what it is. Long text should be in wikipedia. --MGA73 (talk) 12:17, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What ideas do you have for the orginizatoin of the Category:Synthesizers category? I feel like it sohuld be one of those meta categories where it is filled only with categories and no actual images. Anyway I want to solicit Ideas on how it should be organized. Andyzweb (talk) 15:56, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shoulder-synth,
Thank you for your contributions to Commons. I noticed you blanked Category:Epiphone basses on Commons. I asume you meant for the page to be deleted, but blanking the page is not the right way to do this. I'd like to strongly recommend to use {{speedy| type reason here }} and add it on top of the page you would like to have deleted; This way it will be placed on a special list that administrators check regulary for deletion. Without this it might take a long time before it's noticed. Thanks again. 16:02, 20 June 2010 (UTC)–Krinkletalk
Hi. Please be careful with categorization of the instruments with the name tambur- and the many relatives; there are a lot of instruments with this name, but which don't share much caracteristics apart from being lutes. Regards.--Phso2 (talk) 10:49, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
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:
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.
Hi. Apologies if I spammed the guitar categories, I simply put the images in categories which seemed to fit best. Regarding your edits though, the other_versions section is for other versions of the same file - eg crops, colour variations, etc. It's not meant to be for images which are merely similar - that's what the categories are for. If you're using the gallery to keep track of what you've done, may I suggest using your userspace? -mattbuck (Talk) 14:51, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
yes, I am sure you are doing lots of good work here. Of course its good to look after a cat and to keep it sorted. I think you just overreacted a little ;) which is fine ;) Amada44talk to me07:28, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I reverted back - with one change. Check out the category now. I think it is better to keep the Japanese gallery on a separate page (because it will eventually become very long), but your revert was very helpful - my original version did not announce the new page clearly enough.
I hope it is OK now!
It can be arranged that the "See also" link says "a list of birds from Japan with Japanese and scientific names" (in Japanese) or similar, rather than just "日本の野鳥", but someone would have to translate it. My Japanese is so bad, I'm happy when I recognize "トリ" ;-) Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 20:20, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Roland_GS500_guitar_controller_(for_GR500_guitar_synthesizer)_.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:Roland_GS500_guitar_controller_(for_GR500_guitar_synthesizer)_.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!
