Image Tagging Image:Randy_orton_signature_pose.jpg
[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Randy_orton_signature_pose.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|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 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.

- Yes, please send it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Please note that the permission needs to specify that the photo is being released under a free license and that the owner of the website is actually the one who took the photo otherwise it isn't sufficient. Thanks, Yonatan talk 00:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Did you send a message to this specific address? If so, did you include a link to the image here? If not, please send another one with a link to the image. Flickr.com is a commercial website that's owned by Yahoo. Basically it's a place where you can upload any photos you own - your own online personal photo album but there are many people who have photography as a hobby there and they also let you license your uploads under a free license. Please note that flickr is in no way associated with the Wikimedia Commons, the Wikimedia Foundation or Wikipedia. You can visit it here. I'm going to sleep now so any questions you ask me will probably be unanswered until tommorow. Yonatan talk 01:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
I deleted it. In the future, if you upload images from flickr, please include a link to the original picture on flickr. If you upload pictures you took yourself, please select the proper license on our upload page. Thanks, Yonatan talk 22:19, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello, and thank your for sharing your files with Commons. There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. Could you please resolve these problems, which are described on the page linked in above? Thank you. --

[edit]If you forward the e-mail to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org and he indeed agreed to release it under a free license, it would be fine.

On the main page, nothing suggests a CC-BY-2.5 licence, and under Terms of Use you would get:
- To the best of the webmaster's knowledge, all content, images, videos, sounds, photos, etc., if any, are being used in compliance with Fair Use Copyright Law 107.
Can you get a link to the licence please? --Tarawneh 01:15, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Please check Commons:OTRS. You need to forward the email to them. --Tarawneh 18:59, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I saw the e-mail. You need to ask LC specifically for a release under the GFDL or CC-BY-2.5, preferably by using one of these templates. Also, you need to make sure that LC actually took these pictures or is the holder of their copyrights because the Terms of Use part of the website makes me think otherwise.

Critically evaluate Flickr licenses | Image:Maggie-Gyllenhaal-TDK-08.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. You may have preserved the information shown on Flickr correctly when transferring the image here, but the Flickr uploader is not the copyright holder of this image. Either the image was created by someone else, or it is a derivative of someone else's work. As stated in Commons:Licensing, only the copyright holder may issue a license, so the one shown on Flickr is invalid.
Always remember to critically evaluate Flickr licenses. Photostreams with professional-looking photographs, album covers, posters, and images in a wide range of styles or quality taken by many different cameras often indicate that the Flickr uploader either does not understand or does not care about copyright matters.

I cropped the original file here—similarly to the one your uploaded—to focus on the subject of the image w/o the extraneous spacing above the individuals' heads. Why did you revert the image to the version by Rootology (talk · contribs)? — pd_THOR | =/\= | 21:22, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
- The version that is stored right now looks better. Zerorules677 (talk) 17:35, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

- The picture of the bricks, windows, and masonry that happens to have a picture of the band in the lower 45% of the picture? Are you intending to use this image on brick wall or Coldplay? — pd_THOR | =/\= | 20:45, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, true that the background is really unnecessary. But, when you reverted the image to the version I intendedly uploaded, the image looked very bad at Wikipedia:Good topics. That's why I reverted the version back to the original one. Zerorules677 (talk) 16:40, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I completely understand you, but would you object to this version being the penultimate version, as it focuses solely on the band? — pd_THOR | =/\= | 18:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- What I mean is that if you go to Wikipedia (English) and search for Wikipedia's Good topics, you'll see that exact image, the one with the entire background there. Here's the other thing, when you cropped the image, the image in the Good topics box looked horrible. That's why I reverted the image setting back to the original. Zerorules677 (talk) 15:49, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I get it! I know what happened now.
When I cropped the image, it appeared here (on Commons) correctly immediately. However, on Wikipedia, it doesn't pull the files from Commons at the same speed or something (I really don't know what the actual problem is), so there can frequently be some image problems for an hour or so until the two sites synchronize again. That's a common temporary problem with editing images on commons and then immediately looking at them on other projects. The only solution that I know of though is just to wait an hour or so and they'll sort themselves out. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 20:12, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello,
Thanks for uploading the image. I reviewed the images and marked it as Flickr review passed.
But when you upload from Flickr its important to use always the biggest version. The biggest version is the best quality and can be used for more things than a small version. I re uploaded your images with the biggest version but you reverted me. Can you please tell me why you revert me? I reverted your again because the version I uploaded is the biggest.
Please don't let it end in a edit war can you tell me why you wan't to small version instead of the big one?
Cheers, Abigor talk 18:01, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, listen, it wasn't my intention to revert you, since I didn't, just that I cropped another version of the image. The only reason was that I didn't want the extra background, but just Kirsten Dunst, that's all. But, I guess I could let it go and have the image as it is.

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 06:21, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Image:Guy-Berryman-BBC.jpg is uncategorized since 29 March 2009.
