STOP! If your question regards things like Copyvio, License and Something-like-that, please read this!. Please also note that I'm using a Bot to put the messages in your talk page so excuse it if it makes errors. Usually, if you are the author of the picture it can be enough to add only {{PD-Self}} otherwise search the license here! And all will be ok. If the problem regards Bot-Problems (for example, if it's too fast or something like that..) or something else, don't be shy and notify me ASAP.

[edit] Flickr promoting

Good day, Mifter. Please do not close these requests, it's up to admins to close these requests and find if there is consensus for them to be a flickr reviewer. Best regards, --Kanonkas_(talk) 07:04, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect, see the instructions: "After a few days, a reviewer or administrator determines whether there are no severe objections to the candidate." (emphasis mine) How do you turn this on (talk) 11:05, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

My bad, apologies for any inconvenience this created for you. Best regards, --Kanonkas_(talk) 13:56, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] checkimages.py

Hi, I don't think that the situation regarding the images on en.wiki is a lot harder than here on commons, so you should try to do as I've done for commons, i.e. add the english category here:

category_with_licenses = {
        'commons': 'Category:License tags',
        'en'     : None,

There should be a category with (almost) all the licenses allowed on en.wiki. The same you should do for PageWithHiddenTemplates and PageWithAllowedTemplates. In the first you can add a list of templates that are not licenses, in the second a list of templates that instead are licenses. But please see that the bot checks if in all the templates in the image's description there's a valid license. For example, if I create a template named "User:Filnik/my-pd-license" with {{PD-Old}} in it, the bot will see the pd-old and will let the image as "OK". To put all the templates will make you waste a lot of time but then the bot won't make mistakes. I still need to put some templates, indeed my report is a bit "full", as soon as possible I will clean it and put all the licenses in the right place.

If you still have questions, problems, other, feel free to ask :-) --Filnik^{\b[Rr]ock\b!?} 12:50, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] File:Jimmy Wales Fundraiser Appeal.JPG

Hi, i marked the image as missing source/permission information till the change of license seems to be unclear to me. I asked User:Rjd0060 on this. --Martin H. (talk) 03:43, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alisa images

How could it be that two of four Alisa images were deleted, while all four are under the same license? It is CC-BY, as you can see there and there, so there's no copyright violation. --Beaumain (talk) 07:22, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Image flickr

Hi Mifter, this picture http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Occidente.PNG is not on flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/14008778@N00/336371204/ , then it must be deleted from commons ? Lockon (talk) 18:50, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

No, to my knowledge, it doesn't have to be deleted, because a creative commons license is irrevocable (Once you post it to flickr under a CC license, if someone copies it and then you delete they are under no obligation to delete the photo) and when I checked it on July 21st, it was available a CC-BY license which means that it was licensed under a CC-BY and is doesn't have to be deleted from Commons, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask me or at the Commons:Help Desk. Thanks and All the Best, Mifter (talk) 22:45, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Help needed - mass license change

I found that one user had uploaded lots of Israeli stamps, which were deleted because of commons' bureaucracy - the stamps are PD, but they weren't written in Commons:Stamps/Public domain, so after a negotiation, the PD statement was written (Commons:Stamps/Public_domain#Israel) and all stamps must be tagged by {{PD-IL-exempt}} instead of {{PD-because|copy or scan of a banknote or stamp in Israel are part of the public domain. See: Category talk:Stamps of Israel}}... Since I was starting to feel like a bot (or like Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times), I've started to look at the bot list. Could your bot help me, since there are still more images to restore? Yuval Y § Chat § 16:38, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Never mind, I've done it myself. Yuval Y § Chat § 20:17, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
