JetRepublic
Hi Smooth O,
is there any special reason proposed the higher-res version of File:JetRepublic-7.jpg for deletion (as dupe) instead of the lower-res version? --Túrelio (talk) 18:29, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- I haven't watch resolution, only file name. --Smooth_O (talk) 18:38, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- Ok. I've changed the dupe-speedy. However, after deletion, the remaining one needs renaming. --Túrelio (talk) 19:21, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Jajce kasarna
Could you give the information where this building in Sarajevo is to find? Coordinates od so? Thank you --Erwin Lindemann 10:15, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Thank you
--Erwin Lindemann 14:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, an error and I'll change it to the right name as soon as possible. (Do you have an idea what was the name until 1918?) But, if you're living in Sarajevo could you take a photo of Franz-Josef Kaserne? It would really help me beacause im trying to find „all“ the forgotten (and still in use) barracks of the former Austria-Hungarian Army for the article. Thank you. --Erwin Lindemann 12:40, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Great! --Erwin Lindemann 16:23, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
THANK YOU!!!!--Erwin Lindemann 16:36, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

I just removed your {{Speedy}} from the subject redirect. I generally believe that anything we can do to help users find there way around is a good thing. If you feel strongly about this, please use a {{Delete}}, as it doesn't qualify for a {{Speedy}}. Thank you, Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 14:49, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Bot move check
Hi! When you check the bot transfers perhaps you could also "clean up" the license like here [1]? Thank you :-) --MGA73 (talk) 12:47, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Duplicates
Hi Smooth O.
thank you for tagging all those duplicates. I wanted to ask you if you could check the dates of the duplicate files as well and prefer the files that have been on commons longer. There are also other things to consider:
- which files has been on commons longer?
- has the files which should stay a valid license?
- has the file which should stay categories, description, etc.?
It would be great if you could consider those points and copy missing information from one file to the other! Thank you. Amada44 talk to me 08:54, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for suggestion, I will have this in mind. --Smooth_O (talk) 08:58, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- Great! Before deleting, admins have to review all those points and decide which one to delete so it makes live quite allot easier if the right one is marked as duplicate already. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Amada44 talk to me 09:04, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Here I noticed, that one image is PD and the other one is cc-by-2.0. Here it would be better to keep the PD version. The cc-by-2.0 has also been on commons longer. just for your info ;) Amada44 talk to me 10:37, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello!
Can you state any valid reason why you disagree with the existence of the Category:Categories of Bosnia and Herzegovina? Thanks in advance for clarification. Regards, High Contrast (talk) 20:28, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- There is a category tree existing: Category:Countries by category. But it seems that there is DR running. Woulf be nice if you state your opinion in this discussion instead of clearing it. Consider that on COMMONS it is no valid rationale that one category has only "three categories" in it. Regards, High Contrast (talk) 11:24, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
About your edit. These are the same files, from the same source. I've upload the file 28 August 2009, File:5315-0001-reverse.gif was upload later -- 24 October 2009. Why do you nominate my file for deletion? --Dnikitin (talk) 14:39, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
Duplicate of ribbon bars
Hi there. You posted a duplicate notice to one of my uploads: . The reason why this is a duplicate is that the St. Olavs Orden and St. Olavsmedaljen are two different decorations with ribbon bars in identical design. So, what to do? Keep the two so that people more easily can find the appropriate illustration or rename one of the files so that the file name mentions both, then deleting the duplicate? Regards, Ordensherre (talk) 16:19, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
The Wire
If you look at The_Wire_(JTF-GTMO) you will see that I tried to give the files consistent names. The young GIs who publish the paper are stationed in Guantanamo for short gigs -- six months, or a year. And the format of the names they used changed frequently.
File:TheWire-v2-i12-30Aug02.pdf was the original name. File:The Wire Issue12v2.pdf is the nane I picked for consistency.
I think you should have put the dup tag on the other file. Geo Swan (talk) 09:16, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Done. --Smooth_O (talk) 19:15, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
File:1033177 unprocessed.jpg is a duplicate of File:Detroit Photographic Company (0083).jpg, but the use is different. A wish existed among several Wikipedian to have a category with unprocessed photochrom images, to show what they look like now. File:1033177 unprocessed.jpg is in that category. File:Detroit Photographic Company (0083).jpg is there to document the content of the image, the other one is there to document the appearance of the image. Anyone can remove noise, make color corrections or whatever on File:Detroit Photographic Company (0083).jpg, but not on the other one. Their intention of use is different, so they should not be deleted. That is the reason why I reverted your duplicate template addition. Hope you don't mind. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 21:38, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Use of {{Bad name}}
Traditionally the use of {{Bad name}} is reserved for the uploader of the file. {{Duplicate}} is the preferable template for others and is put their for that purpose. Thx. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:45, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
This {{Duplicate}}
Not sure why you chose this selection and not the reverse. In a replacement one has to look at the whole issue, date of file, edits, no. of replacements, description, categories, etc. People may have a feeling of stewardship of their work and efforts. — billinghurst sDrewth 21:22, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi. Another important point when tagging duplicates is to check categories. I note you tagged File:New Orleans Jazz Fest 2010.jpg as a duplicate of File:Bryan Lee blues.jpg, which indeed it is, to be speedy deleted. However note that the image you selected to be kept has the almost useless category "Fairgrounds", while the image you selected to delete is categorized for the specific when and where, "New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival 2010". If a duplicate image has better categorization or information, please make sure that the best information and categorization is on the image to be kept-- consolidate or edit as appropriate. This is to make sure that useful information is not lost in speedy deletions. Thanks for your work. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 13:45, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing that I uploaded some files twice. Badzil (talk) 17:15, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
File:Tuzla, kapija.jpg
Hi, I spent some time trying to find the translation you pointed to in the description of File:Tuzla, kapija.jpg but failed. Of course, Google translator gives unsatisfactory translation. Could you please write a translation of your own? --Ghainmem (talk) 10:50, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- I didn't place that link, i used upload bot to upload image from flickr, that link was already at image description on flickr. But here is my translation: Here you don't live only to live; Here you don't live only to die; Here you also die to live; Mak Dizdar; On this place, on May 25 1995, Serbian fascist aggressor with grenade stopped 71 young lives; Pray Fatiha and make a prayer, remember and admonish. Citizens of Tuzla. --Smooth_O (talk) 21:11, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. --Ghainmem (talk) 13:25, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
your opinion please
You removed a category from this file.
- Someone marked the category I had initially placed on the image as a hidden category -- this made it an uncategorized image.
- I added Category:Flags to the image, not being an expert in flags I didn't add further classifications. I hoped flag experts would further classify it.
- Did you realize your removal of the category will leave the image unclassified again?
How do you think this issue should be addressed? Geo Swan (talk) 15:53, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
- Now I appropriate re-categorized this image. --Smooth_O (talk) 11:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Your speedy deletion tagging
I have declined your speedy deletion requests of uploads by Psammophile (talk · contribs) - copyright sign in the watermark is not a reason for deletion - many software programs autoadd them; also many users add them, and then release the image into public domain. Regards. Materialscientist (talk) 01:21, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- OK, now i made deletion request here. --Smooth_O (talk) 09:43, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Please check more carefully before tagging. File:Lodrät sits.jpg is not a copyright violation: the EXIF data is the same as the uploader. Thanks, Yann (talk) 17:06, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
User:Luxborealis
Regarding this deletion request, I just don't understand why you haven't simply mailed the photographer, using the address given on his website, to check whether User:Luxborealis is really the same person (as the user page indicates), in which case the deletion was unwarranted. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 11:24, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Rename request for File:Ejup Ganić in 1996.JPEG
Hello, Smooth O
Your rename request for File:Ejup Ganić in 1996.JPEG has been declined. If you believe this image is not showing Ejup Ganić, please state your case in the image talk page along with your evidences that proves you are right and defenseimagery.mil is wrong.
Thank you. Fleet Command (talk) 14:17, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Do you know this crest?
Greetings! My name is Michał [Szogunos on polish Wiki]
I would like to ask you on a specific matter - do you know, by chance of luck, something more about this file? It's described as a coat of arms of Blum family from Deutschland. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wappen2.jpg
Are they from Saxnony? And if yes, from which one - Sachsen, Niedersachsen, or Sachsen-Anhalt, and which part of it? It caught my intrest, since ancestral name of my ancestors was Blum (or von Blum). There's also another Blum family in Poland (their crest is listed in Liste der Wappen der Szlachta) having also nine white roses on a blue field, and Friedrich was also popular name among them. I got in touch with some members of that family, and they told me their ancestors came to Poland with court of Wettin kings from Sachsen.But they were unable to recall from which part of it. I'll be glad for any help
Regards
Michał [Szogunos on polish Wiki]
- Sorry, but i can't help you with your question, i just categorized that image to category "Coats of arms to be classified". --Smooth_O (talk) 07:09, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

How is it a copyright violation if I am the owner of the photos? My husband and I took the photos. I am new to this so please help. Just wanted to add some nice pics of a few animals to the mix here...

Mia Elezović
Pozdrav Smooth_O! Vidio sam upozorenje o mogućem brisanju fotografije Mie Elezović i moram priznati da mi nije jasno što još nedostaje objašnjenju, odnosno priloženoj kopiji maila kojim su mi i autor fotografije i fotografirana Mia Elezović odobrili uporabu iste na stranicama Wikipedije. Trebam li Vam dostaviti mail autora da Vam on osobno potvrdi svoju suglasnost ili što drugo? Ako je riječ o njegovoj pisanoj suglasnosti, u kojem formatu da Vam ju pošaljem kako ne bi bilo dvojbi oko autentičnosti iste? Srdačan pozdrav,--Maestro Ivanković (talk) 17:34, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
- Proslijedio sam mail s fotografijom i pripadajućom suglasnošću autora (i fotografirane Mie Elezović ) za njezino javno korištenje na Wikipediji na adresu OTRS-a. Suglasnost je ista koja je upisana i na stranicu dotične fotografije (vidi File:Mia_Elezović.jpg). Nadam se da će to biti dovoljno.

Copyrighted or not copyrighted
What would a 65 years old image of a distroyed village - Which appeared in an"out of print" book - be considered? a copyrighted material, a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, a Photograph of buildings and artworks in public spaces? the image is back dated to mandate Palestine, ie pre 1948, and Israel have a full freedom of panorama status?
note: The book auther says the photos were reproduced by courtesy of the Israel Antiquities Authority [[2]] Kessale (talk) 22:46, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Regarding [3] at page 23 of the same book the following is mentioned: Photographs from the Mandate Period (i.e. pre-1948) have been reproduced by courtesy of the Israel Antiquities Authority Gazetteer of Buildings in Muslim Palestine hope this would be enough. I wrote on the talk page of User:Smooth_O explaining the same and hoping for a reply, as I am not sure which License applies and after reading [4] I guess the following are the most applicable ones

This work or image is now in the public domain because its term of copyright has expired in Israel (details).

Hi Smooth O. I left a message on your user talk page on bswiki (bs:User talk:Smooth O#Request) a while ago, but it seems like you're not active there anymore (last edits in August 2011).

Hi. Check more carefully. The license is indicated and the file is in the public domain. There is also an OTRS ticket that confirms it. --RanZag (talk) 09:23, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- I get it. I think that the author has released the photo in the public domain, and that he simply chose the wrong template. You should check (or ask someone who can) the email to OTRS service and see what it exactly says. Or I might do it, if you cannot. --RanZag (talk) 09:35, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

- Ok, the site reports the copyright tag, but I'm not able to find the above image on that site. It was not present also at the time of the upload, so I don't know why we should cosider it without permission. Probably the source field should just be corrected with {{Own}}. -- Basilicofresco (msg) 20:02, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

BDSM is not part of LGBT. Some LGBT people can be into BDSM, as can some straight people, and heterosexuals who participate in BDSM do not necessarily become LGBT. For the "Leather pride flag", the LGBT category is arguable, due to the connection with the old gay male "leathermen" subculture. For most other BDSM symbols, adding LGBT categories is just wrong. AnonMoos (talk) 12:36, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open
Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:
- Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
- This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
- Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.
To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons
Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Hi Smooth O - you've just added a huge number of files with the prefix P plus a number, from the NRCS Photo Gallery upload, to this category. Most, if not all, of these are downsized duplicates of other images from the same source, prefixed NRCS, and should really be deleted, rather than recategorised - Thanks! - MPF (talk) 15:06, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
- Addenum: I've moved them all to a new category Category:NRCS downsized duplicates so that others working on unidentified birds don't have to waste time trying to identify them before they can all be deleted - MPF (talk) 15:22, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
Identified birds
When birds are identified (e.g. by their filename, like File:Great Tit (3052745632).jpg), please put them directly in the relevant category, instead of dumping them in Category:Unidentified birds to create extra work for others! Thanks. - MPF (talk) 20:45, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

bus or tram
I have declined your rename request because the criterion did not apply. On one hand, trams in Sarajevo have line numbers from 1 to 6 while those of trolleybusses are 101–103 and 107–108, but on the other hand I could not find any picture of a tram in Sarajevo that has this kind of side-mounted LCD display. If you knowledgeable about tram transport in Sarajevo, which tram type do you think this display belongs to? (I can then of course rename the file for you.) FDMS 4 18:43, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Kategorija:Villages in Mostar
Ako smijem pitati, nije li ime ove kategorije promašeno? Sela u Mostaru?--MaGa 18:04, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
Nisam gledao kakva je praksa imenovanja kategorija ovdje, ali ovo ime sigurno ne valja. Pogotovo, što si u nju stavio Žitomisliće koji su od Mostara udaljeni 20-ak km. Možda bi najprikladniji naziv bio Populated places in Mostar municipality, i onda bi (npr.) Žitomislići (i ostala naselja općine Mostar) mogli pripadati u tu kategoriju.--MaGa 10:17, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

1992 anti-war protests in Sarajevo
Well the main reason why this should not be speedy-deleted is that the recordings are copyrighted by "tvsa" but are in my property. Basically, I took them from an old VHS record of the event portrayed in the video. For the 3rd picture I searched for copyright but have found no info which could prove it being copyrighted. I don't know, what do you think about this.
Thanks in advance.

Animal rights
Hi Smooth, please don't mix up the people associated with animal rights category with some other. It need to stay distinct. SlimVirgin (talk) 16:14, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
- I see you moved it. That should have been done via a move discussion. It really ought to be moved back, though I don't know whether it makes a difference so long as the new category is empty. There is a big difference between animal rights and animal welfare, and it would cause confusion to mix those people up. SlimVirgin (talk) 16:27, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
- Also, the RSCPA and similar are not animal-rights organizations. I think quite a few of these changes will have to be undone. Can you say what you had in mind? SlimVirgin (talk) 16:49, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
- I just tried to reorganize and sub-categorize files and categories within categories Animal rights and Animal welfare, because there were lot of mess. Regarding SPCA and similar organizations, then category Animal welfare organizations should be appropriate, if you agree. --Smooth_O (talk) 07:44, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for trying to sort it out. I agree that the SPCA should be in animal welfare organizations. But for other groups it depends on whether they are animal rights or animal welfare. There is a big difference between the two – in fact in certain ways they're opposites – and some people are offended by being called one or the other. For example, this edit is problematic. If you made others like that one, would you mind undoing them, or moving them instead to Category:People associated with animal welfare? SlimVirgin (talk) 17:59, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

OTRS
Hey. Thanks for telling me about the OTRS permission stuff and so. But, what really concerns me is that if I really need permission for pictures that my friends -who don't know how to contribute to Commons and show no interest in contributing- tell me I can upload after asking them in person or via social networks? I didn't think I needed further permission to do so, specially when I have told them in person about it, and the most I've got is an email with the content, and of course, after doing so, I uploaded these pictures but I didn't want to say they were mine, cuz they weren't. --Edjoerv (talk) 21:18, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
- It's not that you legally need that permission to use the photo. It's that Commons policy is to require it, because we can't tell people who might want to reuse the image "you can use this image because someone you never heard of says the person who owns the rights wouldn't mind." - Jmabel ! talk 02:46, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
- Well, I do understand that part, it's just that what should I do then? Do I still have to send the email to OTRS, even when it says the owner of the picture has to state they licensed their images as CC BY-SA 3.0 and I have to resend that email? They just told me via facebook comments I could do it because they wished I could upload them. --Edjoerv (talk) 21:17, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Was this the wrong email address to use or is wikipedia administration somewhat fractured?

Oleg Polyakov's photo
Hi, you recently notified me that this photo does not have a legal permission for publication. In fact the photo's description does contain a link to the original publication of the photo in Facebook where its author indicates that he does want this photo published in Wikipedia. The discussion is, however, in Russian, as the photo was initially intended for the Russian and Ukrainian Wikipedia. Doesn't it suffice? --Dmitri Lytov (talk) 12:41, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
- That link is leading directly to photo, and there is no link to discussion. --Smooth_O (talk) 12:52, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
- I see. Here's the corrected link (I made a respective correction in the photo's description). I'll appreciate your suggestion if the format needs improvement (extra tags, etc.) --Dmitri Lytov (talk) 13:29, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
Coyote images resolved
Hi there
thanks for your diligence in following up on the coyote images. Will Higgs has emailed you today and listed a total of 5 images that he shared with me and that I uploaded here.
Regarding my user name and places to have such discussions. I have been granted permission to keep my dmccabe user name so the user:Dmccabe~commonswiki should be deleted. I just wanted follow up on the coyotes so I'm messaging you here. I removed the deletion tags from the images. I pasted a copy of the email from Will Higgs below. Is there more I need to to to protect the images? They are part of a larger project: http://wikieducator.org/Digital_Coyote
I Will Higgs am happy to hereby release all rights to the five images I shared with Declan McCabe under a CC BY SA 3.0 agreement as described here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ This release applies only to the following six images previously uploaded with my permission by Declan McCabe: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TopCoyote98120.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coyote98120ventral.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kansas_coyote_dorsal.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Canis_latrans_skulls&fileuntil=Specimen+131213001+bottom.JPG#/media/File:Kansas_coyote_left.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Canis_latrans_skulls&fileuntil=Specimen+131213001+bottom.JPG#/media/File:Kansas_coyote_right.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Canis_latrans_skulls&fileuntil=Specimen+131213001+bottom.JPG#/media/File:Kansas_coyote_ventral.jpg

Several permission requests
Hello Smooth O! The permission for the pictures was sent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org on 2014-11-14. This information is written at the File pages. --JPF (talk) 20:16, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
- The subject was "hola bondia". Artur wrote: "mr. fischer is allowed to load up the photos at wikimedia under license CC-BY-SA-30. l the photograph." Two days before, he sent the photos to me directly. I still have the mail in my backup. I can resend all three mails, if needed. --JPF (talk) 20:33, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hello Smooth O: Did you find the mails? --JPF (talk) 14:27, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
- About the images of Natália Carrascalão Antunes: The permission was sent in Feb. 2012. I do not have the mails in my backup anymore. Three years after upload it is a little bit difficult to retrace the former dialogue. It seems like someone is not working very well with the permission mails. Please inform me, if you can not find the permission mails anymore. I would have to ask ambassador Natália Carrascalão Antunes one more time for permission. --JPF (talk) 14:43, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
Did you find something? --JPF (talk) 10:22, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
- I am not OTRS volunteer, so i don't have that permission. Please write to Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard. --Smooth_O (talk) 11:09, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
- I do not think, it is a nice way to put strange templates into files, while it is not your job to check it and you can not even do that. --JPF (talk) 18:25, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello, please see User_talk:Leyo/Archive3#File:Lina_Ben_Mhenni3.jpg, where the theme was discusssed then. Thank you, --Stefan Bellini (talk) 03:56, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- It's ok, but admins only need to confirm that license is suitable because photo is from external source. --Smooth_O (talk) 07:27, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks. --Stefan Bellini (talk) 09:49, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
- done. --Indeedous (talk) 23:34, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks. --Stefan Bellini (talk) 09:49, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
I don't understand, what is missing there? Permission is there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.156.187.126 (talk • contribs) 16:08, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
- This photo don't fall in any of copyright exempt in Kazakhstan law. It is neither official document, State emblem and official sign, work of folklore nor communications concerning events and facts that have an informational character, as stated in Template:PD-KZ-exempt. --Smooth_O (talk) 15:05, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
- But what with article from law : "communications concerning events and facts that have an informational character" ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.156.171.105 (talk • contribs) 15:34, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

File:Stella_Stevens.jpg license review
[16]: No objection (except for increasing the backlog, grr, I'm a license reviewer myself), just a general rule - should I ask for license review for my uploads myself? When and when not? --GRuban (talk) 17:36, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
- I am not sure, but in my opinion, as a reviewer, you can review this file even if you are uploader. --Smooth_O (talk) 10:27, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
- No, I really shouldn't, but that's not what I was asking. I wanted to know what made you think this file, out of all the others uploaded at mostly the same time, needed license review. If I know (and agree), then I'll know to ask for license review on other files like it. --GRuban (talk) 00:39, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
- I was searching for files sourced from various video websites, because most of those files are copyrighted, but stated here on Commons as CC. --Smooth_O (talk) 07:35, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Regarding license review
I'm sorry, but why were your edits at File:Marfan Patient.jpeg needed? I've uploaded thousands of images and have been autoreviewed for over two years. CFCF (talk) 15:05, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
- Becaues photo is from external website and it license needs to be reviewed by admin or a reviewer. --Smooth_O (talk) 07:25, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
- No, that is completely wrong. Could you link any policy or tell me why this hasn't ever been taken up with any other of my thousands of images from external websites? CFCF (talk) 10:50, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
