User talk:Agustin.palacioslaloy~commonswiki

If you have learn how to read, please, before tagging images for deletion read their licencing information and description—the preceding unsigned comment is by Agustin.palacioslaloy (talk • contribs)

Yes the copyright holder allows free use. But you must clearly who the copyright holder is, where the image is from and why you believe the image should be licensed under the selected license.

That is pretty much which the above template tells. So I suggest you learn how to read before telling others to do it. --|EPO| 19:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok then I copy the description here : Image is made by and belongs to the Ecole des Mines de Paris. That's the copyright holder, isn't it? Do you want me to spell it ? To your demand I have added some stuff for justifying the type of licence. Please note that the help lacks of a clear and exact enumeration of what has to be justified for a particular type of licence. For people like me who try to mantain a bunch of wikipedia articles it is really demotivating to see that not only we have to deal with degradations of vandals but also with the ones of overcaring administrators. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Agustin.palacioslaloy (talk • contribs)

Thank you for that link. That page describes pretty good what they allow and what they do not allow. For an example they write that sale and third party use is not allowed.

So I start to wonder why you believe that justifies a template reading "Redistribution, derivative work, commercial use, and all other use is permitted."

The rules of Commons is quite clearly stated in Commons:Licensing, which is linked from the upload page. The top box sums up what you should do: "All information required by that license must be given on the description page. The information given on the description page should be sufficient to allow others to verify the license status."

It should not be the responsibility of administrators or experienced users to tell what the rules of Commons are. It is expected that people sit down and read the rules before they upload content.

The upload page also tells people to seek advice if they are in doubt. So I can't see your problem. --|EPO| 18:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

These rules leave too many space for free interpretation. For example : description page should be sufficient to allow others to verify the license status: ok, but by which means ? As soon as you know that the copyright holder is the School XYZ you can find their mail in one click and ask the question. So the rule is not clearly stated. In practice I guess the real rule could be written provide a link to a credible webpage which indicates the precise license conditions (something which proves nothing as I can create a good fake web for it, but never minds). In any case, I think that a lot of improvement can be done for informing users of practical conditions you are applying.

I perfectly understand that you are fed up with all these images with incorrect licencing info. However, I guess you understand that my images: 1) Were linked to several wikipedia articles. 2) Were marked for one week deletion with a plain, unexplicative commentary after being for several months here, and after being moderated and accepted again by your colleages months ago. 3) Were deleted yesterday in spite of the changes made and without any explanation and not even a watching list event. That's the trouble. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Agustin.palacioslaloy (talk • contribs)

Required permissions for use at the Commons

I regret that you find our policies difficult, however, sometimes images last for some times before someone has the opportunity to review them. There are too many uploaders and not enough people around to check everything all the time.

In order to be hosted at the Commons, images must be explicitly or at the very least implicitly released for reuse and commercial use. The source of these images specifically states that the owner does only allows non-commercial and non-third party use. This alone negates our ability to host them at Wikimedia Commons. Some individual projects, such as the English Wikipedia allow limited fair use images, but you have to check with their policies.

In order for us to be able to host these images, the owner of the images must specifically release them under a license that allows commercial use and allows derivation. This should be done via email from an authorised source permissions-commons (a) wikimedia (dot) org. More specific language is available at Commons:Email templates.

Furthermore, they must be able to serve a purpose, that is, to be usable in legitimate article content. See Commons:Project scope for that information.

I hope this has proven useful. Cary "Bastiq▼e" Bass ^demandez 19:01, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

It is clear by now. As you suggest, I am checking with some individual wikipedia project sites. I regret the principles i supposed to be beneath the wikipedia concept (make it simple, make it collaborative, make it as good as possible) being strongly questionned by these policies. Anyway, thank you for your help, and pardon for the inconvenience.

File source is not properly indicated: File:ColegioElPilar.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:ColegioElPilar.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:ColegioElPilar.jpg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 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!

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Agustin.palacioslaloy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Agustin.palacioslaloy~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
