File:Rose hybrid.jpg

Hello Aftab Banoori,
I just saw that you added this picture to the gallery Rosa - with an identification as 'Sunset Celebration'. I just removed it from Rosa (as the main gallery, only very few pictures can be there) and added it to the cultivar gallery. I also added the information you provided now to the picture itself - something I would ask you to do yourself in the future, as the pictures gain a lot if they have that information (there are some thousand rose pictures, but only three of 'Sunset Celebration'). Other interesting information besides the cultivar identification is where the photo was made (at least the country, but the city/public garden/park is also of interest)

Please do not overwrite files

---

I noticed that you uploaded a file using the name File:Portulaca Grandiflora.jpg. A file by this name already existed on Commons. Overwriting an existing file should not be done except when making minor, uncontroversial corrections, so the file has been restored to its previous version. If the file that you attempted to upload is within our project scope and is in the public domain or published under a free license, please upload it again under a different name. Thank you. For more information, please see Commons:Overwriting files.

You should not attempt to replace a file that has been on Commons for years in this way, as it might be linked to externally. Instead, upload the new file under a different name.Revent (talk) 09:17, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
