Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Linux kernel's storage stack

Hello! Thank you very much for uploading an updated version of File:IO stack of the Linux kernel.svg. Though, I was unable to find a permissive license for the uploaded SVG file on https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Linux_Storage_Stack_Diagram, which is required for using the file on Wikimedia Commons. Any chances, please, for pointing to an appropriate license? — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 08:35, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your valuable hint! I've added the license (CC-BY-SA 3.0) notice now: https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Linux_Storage_Stack_Diagram#License. Btw: the license itself is also mentioned in the SVG at the bottom. Wfischer (talk) 09:15, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Great, everything is covered now, thank you. Having a web page with the licensing information is preferred, as anyone can modify a non-free image/drawing to contain a note on its false free licensing. Of course, something like that doesn't apply here, but that's a general rule. :) — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 09:31, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
