Re Category:Yosemite National Park - too crowed - see notice at top of category[edit]
I only moved it because [[:Category:Yosemite National Park] shouldn't have images added directly to it. See notice at the top of the category.
This category has become too crowded. It should list very few images directly. Files should be moved to subcategories where appropriate. New subcategories can be created. Some files need to be moved elsewhere. Search for more categories: fulltext, Main Page, topics, meta categories. Please remove or replace this tag afterwards.
So that's the reason. It needs to be moved. So please be nice to the Commons! Help clean out the category! Thanks, EChastain (talk) 20:12, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
re Category:Yosemite National Park - reason for moving image in the notice at the top of the category - please read and compy[edit]
Thanks, EChastain (talk) 20:15, 15 March 2015 (UTC)\
- I think you may be interpreting the notice too strictly. We shouldn't be violating Commons guidelines in order to empty out the category. Namely:
- Commons:Category says that every image in Commons needs to be in a category: your edit to File:Tuolumne Muir Gorge.jpg left it out of any categories.
- Commons:Category says that images should be categorized with "where" they were taken. Your edit to File:Granite Yosemite P1160483.jpg removed that information
- Notice that the notice at the top of the categories suggests creating new subcategories. If you find that Category:Yosemite National Park is too crowded, then create new geographical subcategories (like Category:Bishop Pass is to Category:Kings Canyon National Park, and reclassify the images into the subcategories. Don't simply remove the super-category and leave nothing in its place. — hike395 (talk) 20:29, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hike395, sorry about that. I should have put it in Category:Granite. But whatever. I'll leave it for another editor to clean out. Thanks, EChastain (talk) 20:37, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hike395, and I did create several different categories, EChastain (talk) 20:39, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Important message for file movers[edit]
A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect
user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.
Possible acceptable uses of this ability:
- To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
- To perform file name swaps.
- When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)
Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.
The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect
user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks![edit]
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

commons sitelinks in Denmark[edit]
Please leave commons sitelinks in Denmark, ok? --Hjart (talk) 21:51, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Hjart: Not sure I understand? I'm making the sitelinks point to a gallery, rather than a category, as I attempted to explain on your Wikidata talk page. — hike395 (talk) 21:53, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Did you see those galleries? Fairly crappy IMHO. In such cases the categories are a much better choice. --Hjart (talk) 22:02, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks a lot![edit]
Thanks so much for moving the PCT images to the new categories! I've been working on the PCT article on the German Wikipedia for a while and I'd like to link to subcategories from the table that contains the route information. You've helped me a lot! All the best from Chico, California, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 18:10, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

We need your feedback![edit]
Hello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!
I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.
We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.
Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.
Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.
Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2022 voting is open![edit]
Read this message in your language
Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
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. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 1 will end on UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
You are receiving this message because you voted in the 2021 Picture of the Year contest.

Copyright status: File:Ponderosa pine prescribed burn.jpg
This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Ponderosa pine prescribed burn.jpg. 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. |
