Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
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.BotMultichillT 06:22, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Cryo_Ultramicrotome.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). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you. |

I'm not quite sure what it is exactly you need so that the images will not be deleted. Do you need a letter from the company allowing me to use their pics as examples?? Please help. Volvera215 (talk) 14:00, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, we would need an authorization e-mail from a representative of the company (in this form, if possible) to be sent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Could you get that? --Eusebius (talk) 14:14, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Yes I should have no problems getting that authorization. Thank you for the e-mail template. Would I need an e-mail for every image, or would one email count for all of them?? Also I am having a bit of trouble categorizing the images, any suggestions?? Thanks, Volvera215 (talk) 14:29, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- It can be a batch e-mail with a list of files (it will be easier to process actually), or even something like "any image taken from our website" but it is probably too much. As for categories, I'll have a look at it when the copyright status is ok, could you ping me again then? --Eusebius (talk) 14:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Sure no problem,I will ping you when the copyright status is ok. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it. Volvera215 (talk) 15:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Just to let you know I have sent the authorization e-mail to (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org) early this morning. How long does this process usually take? How long till I here back from someone? Just want to make sure my images do not get deleted. thanks, Volvera215 (talk) 15:33, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- It may take up to one month. To avoid your files being deleted, apply {{OTRS pending}} in the "permission" field of any image for which you have sent a permission. You can also remove the {{No permission since}} tag when you add this template. --Eusebius (talk) 15:39, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Done, thanks again for all your help. Volvera215 (talk) 16:07, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

File:DiamondKnife.jpg may be deleted
[edit]![]() |
DiamondKnife.jpg which you uploaded has been tagged with {{OTRS pending}} for more than 30 days. This tag indicates that an email setting out permission to use the file was sent to the Volunteer Response Team. Unfortunately, we cannot find any record that such an email has been received, and accordingly the file remains without permission. Unless the Volunteer Response Team receives evidence that permission has been granted within 15 days of today's date, the file will be deleted. If you have already sent the permission, please re-send it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org now. Please quote the file name ("DiamondKnife.jpg") in your email. At the same time, please leave a message at the VRT noticeboard so that a volunteer can follow this up or contact a VRT member directly.
