Hello, Azylber!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

Warning sign
This media was probably deleted.
Thanks for uploading File:Reconstructed real face of Simon Bolivar.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:Reconstructed real face of Simon Bolivar.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Hi Martin, take a look here, this is their website: http://www.simonbolivar.gob.ve/

Public download or free access has nothing to do with public domain. Published does not mean that something is free of rights or that anyone can take something and make copies. There is no note on the site that the work is free. See COM:L and COM:PRP. --Martin H. (talk) 10:53, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
May be public domain is not the right kind of licence, I have no idea. Can you help us to find the right option to choose? The government have made the file available and encouraged people to download it. It has been used by media all over the world. Which one should we choose? Azylber (talk) 10:57, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Unless the copyright holder agreed to the required licensing terms described in Commons:PS#Must be freely licensed or public domain the file cant be hosted on Commons. Evidence is required that the copyright holder agreed to this, the page does not give such evidence. A free content license allows anyone to reuse it for any purpose, reuse by others - or in this case only a limited circle of reusers - is not an evidence for a free content license or for a permission for anyone to reuse the file. --Martin H. (talk) 13:04, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So what can we do? Can I write to them to ask for permission? Also, could you please put my talkpage on your watchlist so we have talk more easily? Thanks Azylber (talk) 17:54, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Have your page on your list, but I only check once a day. Asking the copyright holder for permission is the only possibility for having it on Commons. --Martin H. (talk) 17:56, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. Can you more or less tell me what the procedure is, so we do it right? What exactly do I need to ask, what format/media does it need to be in, etcAzylber (talk) 18:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Commons:OTRS#If_you_are_not_the_copyright_holder explains all. Of course all media, all formats, free for anyone for all kind of usage (including commercial use and modifications). Free content, thats what all this Wiki projcts is about. --Martin H. (talk) 18:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

[edit]

Dear 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:

  1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 0000 [UTC].
  2. 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.
  3. 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
