[edit] Please help to make your images useful!

Hello - thank you for providing images to the wikimedia commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the commons should be useful to all users of wikimedia projects - this is possible only if the images can be found by other people. To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should either place the images on topic pages (galleries) or put the images directly into a category, or do both. To find good categories for your images, the CommonsSense tool may help.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There is a large number of completely unsorted images on the commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do! Thank you. -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 00:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I will sort them out! ~Linuxerist L / T 01:27, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Different images

Hello, please don't upload an image with a completely other motif under an already existing file name. It would be nice if you could re-upload your version of Image:Preferences-desktop.svg with a new name. The original coloured image is used on several projects, and if you change the content (the motiv) it changes there too, of course. Thanks for your understanding. Greetings --Überraschungsbilder 11:26, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps it was a mistake Linuxerist? I don't think the image you uploaded exists on Commons, so you might want to upload it under another name? --Ysangkok 20:46, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your UNIX-category image.

I saw you replaced my unix-category image on wikipedia :) Thanks, the version I was made was made with php and gdlib as I did not have a graphical envirorment back then, so I'm glad someone replaced it :) However, I see you've included the xml on the image page. This is plainly wrong. Yes, GPL requires source, but image and source is one - as it is with a python script or a shell script. I'm not going to remove it, but I'd like to encourage you to remove the code from the description page, since it is not needed. 83.108.118.78 19:31, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Note: I'm vidarlo on the en wikipedia, And I'd be glad if you replied at My talk page there

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Xbox and controller.jpeg

No problem... I was patrolling recent changes. Maybe I need to be less quick on the trigger! Cary "Bastique" Bass ^parler _voir 02:15, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I noticed your question at User talk:Bastique#Grr. Yes, it's possible to have text not show in the "File history" but still be in the initial page code. Just do the following:

Real upload summary, to show in the history <followed by 256 spaces>

This stuff on the second line won't appear in the file history, but will go on the page.

The reason is that the file history only shows the first 256 characters of your upload summary. Of course, that's not very convenient; I never do it. I just do what you do, apply the tag afterwards. I've gotten deletion warnings, too. Don't worry, no one's keeping score! ;) User:dbenbenn 03:27, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion, though I think I will merely continue the way I have. There needs to be a different box in my opinion for the file history note. Also, thanks for tagging Image:Xbox 01b.jpg as Commons, but I found in the XBOX cat, there was Image:Xbox 01b.jpg. How should I go about deleting this? Sorry for my noobness, but I am new to Commons really. ~Linuxerist L / T 10:52, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

You can use {{speedydelete}} to get an image deleted. User:dbenbenn 15:33, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Comedyfilm.jpg

Hi, I removed the speedy deletion tag and put it on Template:Deletion_requests#Image:Comedyfilm.jpg. You may be right but I don't think it makes it speedy criterion... so, please comment there. Thanks. gren 03:14, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Sorry in progress.jpeg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Sorry in progress.jpeg. 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 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.

[edit] Anarchy symbol a little inaccurate.

Hey there.

This is a fine rendition of the typical anarchy symbol. However, I have created a Christian Anarchy symbol to be more accurate in representing the, well obviously, Christian Anarchy.

I cannot figure out how to have my symbol displayed on the Wikipedia page 'Christian Anarchism'.

Can you help?

[edit] File source is not properly indicated: Image:Start-here.svg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, Image:Start-here.svg, 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 {{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-1.0+}} or {{PD-self}} 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.

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!

[edit] Please link images

Hello Linuxerist!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Commons images are used by editors on many projects in many languages. Each image is put into categories. This helps other editors find them. Please add categories to each image you upload.

To add an image to a category, add the following code to the end of the page.

[[Category:Category Name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbit of comets, add the following to the image description page:

[[Category:Astronomy diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories: Astronomy diagrams, Comets.

For further information on categories read Commons:Categories.

The CommonSense Tool often helps you find the best category for your image.

Here is a gallery of your images. Please check that each image has a category. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the help desk. Thank you.
