Hello,
A mistake from developer Tim Starling resulted in the accidental deletion of 496 full-resolution images, which means that the original version is gone, but not the thumbs. A list of the affected images at Wikimedia Commons was made by PatrícaR and can be found here. As one of your images was found on the list, I'm asking you if you could re-upload the image Brian Farrell plants.jpg from your hard disk, with the comment Restoring image, see [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2008-September/004148.html].
Kind regards,

File:Jonathan Vassar Speckled Bird.JPG has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Jesse_Owens_2.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:Jesse_Owens_2.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! |

This image came from one of the public domain sources Wikimedia Commons recommends as a starting point, though I don't remember exactly which right now.Artaxerxes (talk) 20:39, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Do you have a better version of File:Artaxerxes?
[edit]
If you can supply the same exact image as File:Artaxerxes at a larger resolution (or media at a higher bitrate, etc.), please just upload it over the original, users will get the new higher quality version with no further effort on your part. If on the other hand, the content is only similar, it is best to select a new image name, as there may be uses already where some aspect of the existing media was key to the usage. In the latter case, if you can provide a crosslink reference to the new image in the older one and vice versa, that will be extremely helpful.
Again, thank you very much for your contribution, it is appreciated.High Contrast (talk) 16:51, 19 March 2010 (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.CategorizationBot (talk) 10:37, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

I upload Flickr images to Wikimedia Commons that have the Wikimedia-required rights selected by the Flickr user. I am not aware of any access I have to any sort of "bad actors" list, so would not know when I bring in an image that does not meet Wikimedia standards. Fortunately, Wikimedia has an automated checking process that confirms my choices -- and in this case discovered an apparent rights issue. The image is being deleted by Wikimedia editors prior to any use (that I'm aware of). Perhaps I'll know a bit more about what to look for next time to prevent a recurrence. --Artaxerxes (talk) 14:49, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Are you sure it's an Italian square?
[edit]In File:Male Guitarist Street Performer Square.jpg, in the background there are written en:RMF FM, a polish radio, and I think it is not usual that there is a publicity of Polish radios in an Italian square, and also the architecture of the buildings reminds me of the Central European, from which I have reasonable doubt that the photo was not taken in Italy. :-) --Threecharlie (talk) 01:12, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Me & Martha.jpg. 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.

Autopatrolled rights given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you.. - FitIndia Talk Mail 12:00, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition Forestry Building
[edit]For File:Forestry Building interior showing log columns, Lewis and Clark Exposition, Portland, Oregon, 1905 (AL+CA 1941).jpg, I see you are the one who added Category:United States Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region. Are you sure of that? I'm unaware of any federal involvement with the building. If it is accurate, it should probably be moved from this individual photo to the category for the building as such (which I newly added to the file). - Jmabel ! talk 23:07, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
