Hey,
I was wondering if you can send a copy of your permission to [email protected] with a link to the photo so the permission can be verified (that is, if it was received by e-mail). Thanks, Yonatanh 16:11, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
היי,
תהיתי אם תוכל לשלוח עותק של הרשות שניתנה לך להשתמש בתמונה של אתגר קרת ל[email protected] עם קישור לתמונה פה בויקישיתוף על-מנת שנוכל לבדוק את האישור שקיבלת (זאת אומרת, אם הוא התקבל באימייל). תודה מראש, Yonatanh 16:11, 24 February 2007 (UTC)TUSC token d2f16cc7b1de63cd99692cc22ff5fa39

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) 16:50, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Please give images good descriptions
edit
Please give some thought to writing a good description of uploaded images. This ensures that they can be used. It also helps those that review and improve categories do a better job, which also ensures that images will get used in novel and interesting ways. Thanks, and happy editing!

- Thanks for pointing this out. I could use some advice, though -- what would you put as the description for that image? I wasn't sure what to write that wasn't already captured in the file name. --Ori.livneh (talk) 06:28, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

LOC image
editI noticed you uploaded file:3a51950u.tif but the source only links to a low resolution image. I've been doing some LOC image cleanup adding LOC ids and see some other images that also do not link to the high resolution image that was actually uploaded. How or where were you able to find the original? Ww2censor (talk) 09:26, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
- Start with an image that does have its high-resolution variants publicly available and pay close attention to the format and structure of the hi-res image URL. Hey, I wonder if... --Ori Livneh (talk) 17:18, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

File tagging File:Robert Majzels.JPG
editThis media was probably deleted.
|
Thanks for uploading File:Robert Majzels.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 ([email protected]). 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:Robert Majzels.JPG]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

Copyright status: File:DSC01598 v1.jpg
editCopyright status: File:DSC01598 v1.jpg
This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:DSC01598 v1.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. (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. |

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2022 voting is open!
editRead this message in your language
Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 1 will end on UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
