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) 12:24, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:John Tate.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 (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). 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. |
RE rillke questions? 21:33, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
This file is from the George Bergman Collection at Oberwolfach and has the same GNU License Status as the other Bergman Files here in Category:Pictures from Oberwolfach Photo Collection (Bergman).--Claude J (talk) 22:59, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, I didn't know that. So I triggered a false alarm. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to the uploader. Nageh (talk) 00:13, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- Question: Why are many of the files in the Bergman category tagged with a CC license, sometimes in addition to the GNU license? Nageh (talk) 00:20, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. The guys (including me) simply dont know what license to put in in the upload process (there are schematic lists). They choose one of the CC licenses. I then replace it afterwords with the Licenses in the George Bergman Category. There are three kinds of Oberwolfach pictures, the ones from Bergman and the pictures with Copyright MFO have all a suitable license, for the others you have to ask for permission. The pictures with Copyright MFO have a german sharealike CC license (cc-by-sa-2.0-de) (see for example the picture of Ingo Lieb or Oberwolfach License Information)--Claude J (talk) 07:34, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, I have fixed the licensing information now according to the information displayed in Category:Pictures_from_Oberwolfach_Photo_Collection_(Bergman). Hope that is alright now. Nageh (talk) 09:09, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Category:Paul_Lorenzen
editHi Baroc, I noticed hat you have created Category:Paul Lorenzen - I have added many more categories and interwikis. Before creating a category it is useful to call the Categorizing tool CommonSense which already suggests some Commonscategories - works best for images which are in use in a Wikipedia. However, it works best if the category at Commons is not created already so it needs to me called before. ;-) Just a tip. Ciao --Saibo (Δ) 03:17, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
Trasferimento immagini
editCiao, ho visto che stai trasferendo immagini da it.wikipedia a commons. Stai attento a riportare la licenza corretta, ne ho trovate un paio dove hai messo una licenza diversa. Ti consiglio di usare http://toolserver.org/~magnus/commonshelper.php Ciao --Cruccone (talk) 14:21, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
- Perfetto! Grazie mille e buon lavoro! --Cruccone (talk) 16:12, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
File:Peter Topping.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 file, 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. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. |

File:Arnold Ross.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added may soon be deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please replace the copyvio tag with {{subst:OP}} and have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you disagree that the file is a copyright violation for any other reason, please replace the copyvio tag with a regular deletion request. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Copyright status: File:Jacob Rosanes.jpeg
editThis media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Jacob Rosanes.jpeg. 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. |
