Image Tagging Image:Rss icon.png
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Rss icon.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore 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 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 {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL 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.

This file is a copyright violation because it is copyrighted and not published under a free license. The Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content, that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose (often under the condition that the freedom of the content is preserved). The license that applies to an image or media file must be indicated clearly on the image description page using a copyright tag. All information required by that license must be given on the description page. The information given on the description page should be sufficient to allow others to verify the license status. It would be best to do this immediately in the summary field on the upload form. It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.--gildemax 11:27, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I just tried to derive a map from Image:BlankMap-World6.svg. I used the css at the top of the file. When viewing the svg file in firefox all looks good, but when i uploaded it to commons (see title link) the colours are lost in the png version. (but reappear when looking at the svg). Any ideas? Thanks! Marmelad 09:02, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- got around the problem by adding all countries to a class with country code and using that instead of id.Marmelad 17:50, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Image deletion notification
[edit]Image deletion warning | A file you contributed has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this image, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. If the file is up for deletion because it has been superseded by a superior derivative of your work, consider the notion that although the file may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new file. |

What A Brilliant Idea Barnstar | |
For thinking of the idea of introducing CSS classes to the map (or, at the least, refining the SVG code enough to make CSS editing easy) making the map way more versatile than it ever has been, and even easier to edit and use. --Canuckguy 01:42, 28 September 2007 (UTC) |

Hello H2g2bob!
Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the 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 the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!
Thank you. 85.182.126.61 12:50, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Under which license is Image:UnPlug.png available? Is it GPL, GFDL, Cc-by-nc-sa? Any of them? None at all? Platonides 23:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Ok. You may want to place the tags into {{Self3}}, and reduce the CC image size. Platonides 22:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Terry_Wogan_cropped.jpg. This image 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 send an email with copy of a written permission to OTRS (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org).
Unless the permission information is given, the image may be speedy deleted after seven days. Thank you. Sterkebaktalk 20:50, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
It's best not to use such general titles for less likely searches. In this case songbird should be reserved for birds, using the name used on Wikipedia instead for this. I'll move it now. Richard001 (talk) 21:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Terry_Wogan.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). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Terry_Wogan.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

- Yay! Glad they're useful :) --H2g2bob (talk) 17:21, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi. FYI you got this photo from my flickr account, and the original was already on Commons. I have thus renamed the image to conform to my file naming scheme, and added the various bits of data from the original file. Thanks for uploading, and glad you found it useful. -mattbuck (Talk) 22:11, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- No probs, thanks for uploading great images! Feeling a bit silly for not checking for images already on Commons first :) --H2g2bob (talk) 22:19, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
