Hello, and thank your for sharing your files with Commons. There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file.

Thank you. --Siebrand 05:52, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Tianjin_metro_map.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading Image:Tianjin_metro_map.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.

- What is your evidence that this is a Flickr wash? I look at http://www.flickr.com/photos/beyondthebarricadephotography/with/3429494449/ and it just doesn't make much sense for this to be a wash. At a minimum, this should go to normal delete dicussion not speedy delete.Bdell555 (talk) 19:33, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello Bdell555!
I have answered here about this image. One hint ahead: you can use this tool for your flickr uploads. It makes the hole procedure much easier and faster for you!

OTRS permission for Wikipedia only files
editHi Bdell, regarding the posting at Commons talk:OTRS#permission granted for on-Wikipedia only, did you forward the permission to OTRS, and if so, what is a keyword I can find it under and what image on Wikipedia does it apply to, so I can take care of the permission? — Huntster (t @ c) 10:52, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
- Just to note, I'm assuming you're referring to File:Gliese 581g.jpg, but I just want to make sure. Also, if you have a suggestion for what File:485014main orbit comparison full 946-710.jpg should be renamed to, I'll take care of that issue as well. — Huntster (t @ c) 10:55, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, it concerns just File:Gliese 581g.jpg. I would forward to permission but I would probably have to write up a fair use rationale at the same time or subsequently because the "non-fair use with permission" template can apparently only be used with a fair use template. I was thinking that if I ever heard of someone moving it over as Fair Use, I'd submit the permission as further "backup", but until then I was just going to let it go. So I'm satisfied with just close deletion discussion with "delete" but I'll forward the email communication I received from the creator and copyright holder if an admin like yourself were interested in doing something with it. re File:485014main orbit comparison full 946-710.jpg, if it could be renamed to "Gliese 581 system compared to solar system" or "Gliese 581 compared to solar system" or "Gliese 581 orbits compared to solar system orbits", it would identify what is being compared to what and I would say thanks a lot for that.Bdell555 (talk) 23:28, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, there's no need to send it to me. Just forward it to permissions-en wikimedia.org, and let me know so I can note it as filed. I'll also port the image over to en.wiki and deal with the fair use stuff. I'll get to the renaming and name porting when work allows. — Huntster (t @ c) 06:13, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- I forwarded under subject title "Wikipedia only permission for http://www.nsf.gov/news/mmg/media/images/goldilocks_planet1_h.jpg" but didn't get an auto-reply or anything (yet).Bdell555 (talk) 07:53, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, found it and locked it. As soon as I have a moment, I'll upload the image at en.wiki, flesh everything out, and send a formal reply to you and Ms. Cook. Thanks again :) — Huntster (t @ c) 08:24, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

- Hey Bdell, I thought I should follow up with you on this issue, and I apologise for not doing so before now. I made the decision to not upload the image at Wikipedia for two reasons: first, because multiple free images already exist in Gliese 581 g, so there's no reason to upload a *non*-free image that doesn't really add anything; and second, because there was some mentions during the deletion discussion that the image is quite inaccurate (planet being tidally locked would mean a drastically different appearance). If, in the future, there's any agreement that the image would be appropriate for the article, we still have the wiki-only permission archived for use. If you have any questions, please let me know. — Huntster (t @ c) 04:10, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, I wasn't keen to see it get uploaded either.Bdell555 (talk) 07:50, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open
editDear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:
- Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 0000 [UTC].
- This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
- Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).
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. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.
To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons
Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
