Admin[edit]
You are now an admin here on Commons. Congratulation! villy 06:20, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- A great present for the end of my vacation. Thanks! BrokenSegue 17:05, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Beginners mistake[edit]
I red that you are an administrator, and I wonder if you could delete the image “Image:Södertälje logotyp.jpg”. The image qualifies as fair use, and I was unaware that commons didn’t accept material under that licensing. //Laserpekare 12:54, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
del pic[edit]
hi, can please del this pic, i'd like to put a new one which isn't copyrighted. Matanya 27 June 2005 18:09 (UTC)
- done BrokenSegue 27 June 2005 18:11 (UTC)
- thanks, but i can't upload it because i'm getting logged off the whole time, what can i do? 209.88.190.131 27 June 2005 18:16 (UTC) (i asume it won't work)
- That one I can't help you with. Perhaps it's your browser? I'm not getting logged off. If the image is somewhere online I could upload it for you. Or if you can log onto another wiki and uplaod it there (wikibooks or some free image server) I could move. I'd ask on COM:VP for help to fix the bug. BrokenSegue 27 June 2005 18:18 (UTC)
- maybe, the image is here, i'll try login later. thank you.
- I moved that image over. BrokenSegue 27 June 2005 18:28 (UTC)

Zappa[edit]
Thanks for the heads up on fair use. Tell me this then. How do I link an image from wikipedia to wikiquote? Sveden 18:24, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- Nope not allowed on wikiquote either. Plus they are thinking of getting rid of the upload image feature all-together. Sveden 14:44, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
Category:White Mountain art[edit]
Thanks. How does this category get listed under By type: Paintings? Also, how do I find the major categories? JohnJHenderson 23:49, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm still confused. How do I, myself, add catagories and sub-catagories? There seem to be no "edit" on the category pages.
Also, I'm now checking for message at two sites, wikipedia and wikimedia. Actually, I'm pretty lost most of the time. Is it me? JohnJHenderson 03:11, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for continuing to steer me in the right direction. Is there a standard format for describing paintings? See how I did it on Image:SGerry, Mount Washington (JJH-SLG100).jpg. JohnJHenderson 15:02, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Commons-l subscription[edit]
Hello BrokenSegue,
as per Commons talk:Administrators, I am asking all admins to subscribe to commons-l, a mailing list for Wikimedia Commons policy and project discussion. Since many admins are only on Commons infrequently, this is a good way to alert people about important happenings. The mailing list is nominally multilingual, but predominantly English.
If you are already subscribed to commons-l, I apologize for bothering you, and you are free to ignore this message. If you don't want to use your regular e-mail account, feel free to leave me a message, and I can send you a GMail invite. Traffic on the mailing list is relatively low, and we do not expect admins to read all messages to the list, but it would be nice if you could check on it at least every few weeks. Thanks for your time,--Eloquence 22:53, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Image:SPolgar Signature.jpg listed for deletion[edit]
Image deletion warning | Image:SPolgar Signature.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this image, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. If the file is up for deletion because it has been superseded by a superior derivative of your work, consider the notion that although the file may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new file. |

Image Tagging Image:Staunton_chess_set.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Staunton_chess_set.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.

Administrative notice[edit]
Hi. This message is sent out to you because you are an administrator on Commons, and you made little use (or no use) of the admin tools lately: less than 5 times in the last five months.
Commons has a new policy on admin activity, Commons:Administrators/De-adminship, taken into use on June 13, 2007 (after a poll among users). According to that policy, admins who use their tools infrequently will be asked whether they still need their adminship, and if they do not respond or require them the removal of the tools will be requested.
If you feel you still need your admin tools, please sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section within 30 days from the date this message was sent out. However, if you then don't make 5 admin actions in the following 5 months, you will lose the adminship without any notice.
This is not a comment on the considerable help you have given to the project in the past but reflects the wish of the community to see active administrators and to ensure that possible security breaches are minimized.

Please help replace this outdated license[edit]
Hello!
Thank you for donating images to the Wikimedia Commons. You have uploaded some images in the past with the license {{PD}}. While this was a license acceptable in the early days of Wikimedia, since January 2006, this license has been deprecated and since October 2008 no new uploads with this license was allowed.
The license on older images should be replaced with a better and more specific license/permissions and you can help by checking the images and adding {{PD-self}} if you are the author or one of the other templates that you can see in the template on the image page.
Thank you for your help. If you need help feel free to ask at Commons talk:Licensing or contact User:Zscout370.
The images we would like you to check are:

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) 11:34, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- Image:Comet animation.gif was uncategorized on 9 August 2010 CategorizationBot (talk) 11:34, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
File source is not properly indicated: File:George_Washington_(2).jpg[edit]
This media may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:George_Washington_(2).jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |
