Image:Munichairportnasa.jpg

Hi The life of brian. Could you please provide the original URL you got Image:Munichairportnasa.jpg from? It would make it easier for others to verify that the image is indeed from NASA. Thanks. ~MDD4696 14:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Moscowmetro-2005-2.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Moscowmetro-2005-2.png. 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|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons 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.

About licensing

Hi, please do not upload fair use images from English Wikipedia and claim they are licensed as GFDL. Secondly, please do not upload thumbnails from English Wikipedia (upload the full image) and thirdly, always give credit to the copyright owner. I am sure there will be no problems with your uploads in the future. Thuresson 12:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Pakistan location maps

Just wanted to point out that on all of the Pakistan location maps you uploaded, one of the islands in the Canadian territory of Nunavut is colored green - the same as the secondary country on the maps. This can lead to people believing that country owns the island. (for example - the file's talk page at Simple English. Creol (talk) 06:14, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

All of the islands of Hawai'i are shown in Orange, the color of Pakistan, and another island is also colored orange, northeast of New Zealand. Jonas Rand 08:05, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
