Thanks for uploading File:Nepenthesbicalcarata1.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). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you. |

[edit]Nepenthes rafflesiana giant upper pitcher.jpg which you uploaded has been tagged with {{OTRS pending}} for more than 30 days. This tag indicates that an email setting out permission to use the file was sent to the Volunteer Response Team. Unfortunately, we cannot find any record that such an email has been received, and accordingly the file remains without permission. Unless the Volunteer Response Team receives evidence that permission has been granted within 15 days of today's date, the file will be deleted. If you have already sent the permission, please re-send it to [email protected] now. Please quote the file name ("Nepenthes rafflesiana giant upper pitcher.jpg") in your email.

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.BotMultichillT 20:16, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Updating the colossal squid image
[edit]Hi Meso--
I have edited this image here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Calmarcolossal.jpg to make it accurate using actual measurements rather than eye-balling, as the original creator did.
As you no-doubt noticed, the original newspaper article on which the proportions were based is totally inaccurate. However, instead of seeing the "Upload a revised version" link, I get a "you are not allowed to modify" note on the corresponding image page in Wikimedia commons, perhaps because it was in the deletion queue at one time?
Since this image is so widely cited, I think it is important that it get revised, but I'm not sure how to achieve this.
I have uploaded my edited version here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Calmarcolossal2.jpg
Thanks for the help...
