Image Tagging Image:Russell_Peters_-_Toronto_-_July_2007.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Russell_Peters_-_Toronto_-_July_2007.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|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version 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.

File:Official portrait of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
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. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Flickr2Commons
I have just come across a few images you have recently uploaded from Flickr. I would appreciate it if in the future, you used the Flickr2Commons tool. This tool allows images to be moved to Commons from Flickr without having to download the images to your own computer. It also brings in the largest resolution of the image, as well making sure to list the correct license and url, making it easy for the automated Flickr Review system. Also, it is fairly easy to categorize images with this tool. Elisfkc (talk) 18:15, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Descriptions
Hi! Thanks for adding the description to the Head of Sphinx and changing the name. In case you'll be willing to add more descriptions, feel free to use the mass description tool that makes everything in this regard much easier. It was developed a fortnight ago, it is still in the testing phase but it has some potential ;-) Aktron (talk) 09:46, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Aktron: Thanks, that's an interesting tool and it definitely has potential. I think it needs to display more data from the source file to make it easier to add a description and figure out what the image is of. I'll check if it's open source and if I can contribute there. Cheers! @sikander (talk) 13:48, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- Sure. The problem as of now is that it can anylze only first 500 images from a category. But more data - absolutely yes! The source is available here: [1] Aktron (talk) 09:06, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

George Ho (talk) 19:40, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello again. I appreciate your efforts to prove the public domain status of the portrait. However, the screenshot you used as one of proofs (File:City of Toronto Archives - June Rowlands Portrait Photo Information.png) came from the copyrighted website; the bottom of the https://toronta.ca website says "© City of Toronto 1998 - 2017". May you please speedydelete it? Thanks.
By the way, I changed the info to the exact citation that holds a record of the portrait on your behalf. George Ho (talk) 07:02, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Radical crop
Dear user Sikander, please read COM:CROP. Cutting small fragment from the picture not always can be justified, even for the illustrative purposes. Photograph, even the occasional one, always is kind of artwork with its own composition and "story". You cut from the bigger picture a "portrait" of Arif Virani with eyes down, which is absolutely not good for an "avatar" picture. Please don't do that. All the best, Mykola Swarnyk (talk) 05:15, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Mykola Swarnyk, I think you're referring to my crop of Virani from your source photo uploaded in 2015. At the time of the crop this was the only photo of Virani available on Commons and I completely agree with you that this is not an ideal image, but I figured it is better than no image at all. Please note that per COM:CROP I did not overwrite your photo and added this one as a separate and new upload. Also, I see that you have uploaded more images of Virani and that's great. The new portrait image is much, much better. Thank you. // sikander { talk } 16:02, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Reverts
Hello, This revert is not OK. There is no consensus for changing the style. Please serlf revert. Please note that you have to discuss it first before revert-warring. Needless to say that you are not a member of the committee. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:03, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Julie Payette photo
Hello Sikander
Thank you for your message, and thank you for taking care of copyvios on Commons, we need help on that point! Payette's picture is not a copyvio, you have my word on this.
Maybe you haven't saw the talkpage? Do you think we need to go for an OTRS process ?
Let me know if you need more infos. Best regards, Benoit Rochon (talk) 00:59, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Benoit Rochon: Oops, my mistake in not checking the Talk page for the photo. Julie Payette's official photo has been uploaded here previously without permission and I assumed this was the same. Perhaps we can add {{kept}} on the photo page as well? Thank you. // sikander { talk } 🦖 11:48, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Imran Khan at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in 2019 (portrait cropped).jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

- Hi Magog the Ogre, the footer for kremlin.ru says "All content on this site is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International" and these photos are from this page. There are 19,154 photos from kremlin.ru on Commons using {{kremlin.ru}} as the license. Am I missing something? // sikander { talk } 🦖 23:41, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- Kremlin.ru is a source tag only because the Kremlin changed its license. Please add the cc-by-4.0 tag to those images as well so that they have a license tag as well. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 00:08, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Sikander. I believe you recently sent me an email. Unfortunately, I cannot currently access that account and was soon going to update my Wikimedia accounts with a new email address. In the meantime, you can leave a message on my talk page.
I can see only the first line (and a bit of the next one) of your email, which shows up on my Commons alerts. I generally prefer discussions in the open on Wikimedia projects (ie - user talk pages), but if you'd prefer to keep the details private, I'll let you know when I've set up the new email address.

Canada photographs
Hi, thank you for categorizing and organizing photo uploads by location. Wondering what your process is. Are you creating the yyyy-mm-dd category manually or do you have a script that takes care of it?
I can start categorizing my uploads myself but thought the process of creating a new category for a few images only might not be worth the time/effort: 20190931 has 2 photos, 20190906 has 4, 20190910 has 3 (and all are my uploads).

- Hi Sikander, I use the template Date= Taken on|2019-09-12|location=Canada, with braces ({{) at either end, and alter the date accordingly and then create the Day/date/country category using, Canada photographs taken on navbox|2019|09|12, with braces ({{) at either end, and once again altering the date accordingly. Hope this is of Help. Kolforn (talk) 13:12, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments France 2019
Bonjour,
Le concours Wiki Loves Monuments France est de retour et ouvert jusqu'à 31 septembre ! Déjà 8310 photos ont été importés cette année, vous aussi rejoignez le concours !
Le concours concerne tous les monuments présents dans la base Mérimée (qu'ils soient classés, inscrits ou simplement classés). De l'imposant château aux ruines industrielles, de la chapelle au coin de la rue aux mégalithes en forêt, c'est un impressionnant patrimoine qui attend d'être photographié et documenté. Où que vous soyez il y a des monuments autour de chez vous. Enfin, vous pouvez mettre en ligne autant de photos que vous le souhaitez de ces monuments. Pour information, le règlement est disponible sur le site du concours. Nous attendons vos photos avec impatience !
Les plus belles photos seront sélectionnées par un jury national composé d'amateurs et de professionnels, de contributeurs à Wikimedia Commons et d'acteurs du patrimoine. Un jury international sélectionnera ensuite des meilleures photographies mondiales.
Si vous avez des questions, l'équipe organisatrice se fera un plaisir d'y répondre.
P.S. : vous recevez ce message parce que vous avez participé au concours Wiki Loves Monuments en France les années précédentes. Si vous avez déjà ou si ne pouvez pas participer au concours cette année, faites passer le message autour de vous pour que de nouveaux et nouvelles photographes rejoignent l'aventure !
Bonne journée,
Sarah Krichen WMFr et Nicolas Vigneron, pour l'équipe de Wiki Loves Monuments France, 14:51, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Sarah Krichen WMFr, @VIGNERON: Thank you, but I am in Canada 🍁 // sikander { talk } 🦖 14:53, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry, we contacted you because our tool said you took photo for Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 in France but clearly it's a mistake (I guess the tool confused uploader and editor, I'll look into it). Anyway, you can still take part in Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in Canada or any other Participating countries Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 15:14, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- No problem at all, and yes, planning on taking some photos this weekend. Cheers! // sikander { talk } 🦖 15:39, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- It took me a while but I found the file who created this error: File:Louvre museum's inverted pyramid (cropped).jpg (you are indeed the creator but you just cropped an other file from WLM2012 in France and left the template, I removed the template so the error should not appears again).
