Thanks for uploading File:SECupp-HS5.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.

Hi!
My name is Edoardo Bit, I am an architect and also a “young researcher” of the University of Ferarra (Italy). I am writing a book on the “green walls technologies” and I have found very interesting a photo in your page. So, I would kindly ask you if I can use it in my book. Obviously, if you gently decide to grant me the permission, your name (or your nickname) and the link of the picture will be correctly cited in the credits of my publication. The photo which I would use is: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MonkeyGrass-3001.jpg Thank you very much! I hope you will attend my request… My e-mail is: edoardo.bit@gmail.com Bye, Edoardo Edoardo.bit (talk) 10:37, 10 June 2012 (UTC) |

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open
editDear 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:
- Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
- 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.
- 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

Bobcat kittens photo
editDear Mr Tribble, A while back, you uploaded a small set of photos of bobcat kittens up a tree to Wikipedia, one of which went to WP:FP (for which I voted - ultimately in vain, alas). Anyway, I kept the pic on my user page and so - having just done some editing of said userpage - just thought I'd leave you a message to say how very much I like those photos and to thank you for making them available to all. Best wishes, Plutonium27 (on WP), @ 23.10, 29/6/13

Dear Loadmaster,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2017 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the twelfth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons.

IPv4 address image
editHello Loadmaster, you have edited the image File:Ipv4 address.svg in the past. It represents an IPv4 address, which in itself it is perfectly fine. However, the address that is depicted should not be used as an example, since there are specific addresses reserved for that. Could you (and are you willing to) edit this picture again, or tell me how to do it myself? Thanks in advance, Dandorid (talk) 11:28, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
- To edit, view the original SVG image, then examine the source code for the page. Save it as a text file, modify the
.svg
source file appropriately, then upload the new version. You may have to tweak thex
andy
coordinates to get the changed text to align properly, which will probably require some amount of guesswork if you do not have an SVG editing tool (which I do not). Loadmaster (talk) 21:18, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
