Image Tagging Image:TerraformedVenus.jpg
[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:TerraformedVenus.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.

Flickr image
[edit]Could you please not hotlink to Flickr images? I cannot find this image on Flickr because there is no link back to its image page and I cannot find it via a search with keywords. I cannot confirm its license. If you don't link to the image page, the image will have to be deleted as a possible copyvio. Thank you, Arria Belli | parlami 00:22, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. Jaqen has since confirmed the license of the photo.
- I'm not sure exactly how the Flickr review bot works (I'm not a botmaster), but hotlinking just makes it confused somehow, preventing it from checking the license even when the image uploaded to Commons has not been cropped from a Flickr image. (All images cropped from Flickr photos have to be confirmed by humans because the bot compares the photos and can't recognize one being a part of a bigger photo.)
- Anyway, no harm done! Now you know to link to the Flickr image page instead. :-)
- Happy editing,
- Arria Belli | parlami 12:37, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello Leptictidium!
Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!
Thank you. BotMultichill (talk) 12:51, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Maneating_lion.jpg
[edit]![]() |
This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Maneating_lion.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Maneating_lion.jpg]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |

Of course not, but you used {{PD-BritishGov}}, that says: The image is public domain because it was created by the United Kingdom Government (better: an Government employee). So without the name of the Government employee (or a doubtles proof) this template wont work. Of courese i know, that some similar images are also used in the english Wikipedia: w:en:File:Tsavo 1.jpg and w:en:File:Tsavo 2.jpg - under a fair use rational because the author is unknown! Fair use is not accepted here, without a correct source this image is not free. --Martin H. (talk) 17:20, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

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 18:23, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Hemoglobina falciforme-versió curta.PNG
[edit]![]() |
This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Hemoglobina falciforme-versió curta.PNG. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |
