Copyright status: Image:Monoplanes.svg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Monoplanes.svg. 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.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Steelpillow!

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.

Quality

About  this  current  discussion,  at  first  there  is  one  point  I should like you to understand:
we have not to exhibit a credential to justify an edit on Wikimedia, and it would be unsound to pretend
that the quality of a contribution has something to do with the birth place of its author.  And then, I invite you
to write reasonable arguments in favor of your recent action,  including  your  come  back
to  "Category:Pythagorean theorem"  ( see #Categories ).

PDF Functionality

Are you familiar with MW:Reading/Web/PDF Functionality?

I ask, because I just received an email documenting a comment you made on Maniphest Updated T135643: Show tables in pdfs (#9). I don't see that either T135643 or MW:Web/PDF Functionality mentions the other.

Thanks for your support of Wikimedia projects. DavidMCEddy (talk) 14:18, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. It looks as if my memory fails me over the old Tables rendering, my apologies for that. But the basic issue remains. The page you refer me to states that "Books will contain all elements from single article format". At present, they do not because the tables are missing. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 14:28, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
