Message for Ranveig

Since you are a trusted user, have you considered typing in a Flickr pass for most or all of these 50+ images which you uploaded from Logelin's flickr account: [2] They are really taking up space in the "possibly flickr unfree" category. I'm sure they were free when you uploaded them. If you type in a pass, no one will nominate them for deletion. This what Sandstein did for 1 important image: File:Jokulsarlon lake, Iceland.jpg Just an idea. --Leoboudv (talk) 05:22, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, that's a very good idea. I never really thought about it since I didn't know if one could pass one's own files. --Ranveig (talk) 07:20, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

• Yes you can type in a flickrpass for images you uploaded which you know were licensed freely when you uploaded them on Commons because you are a trusted user. When you have 50+ images in the 'possibly unfree category reviewed by Flickrreview' from just one flickr account, I think you should act. Because if you don't other, users who don't know you will think you are not trustworthy...which of course is just wrong. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 07:47, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

•  Comment: If you have some time, I would say that these 8 images are ones you should consider passing. They are either in use, or are good, quality images. Plesae try passing them. Thank You,

But that's just advertising! "See what good teeth I have!"

Anyway, it was a huge task, but I'm glad it's accomplished. Thanks for prompting me. --Ranveig (talk) 21:36, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

These 2 images

Dear Ranveig,

You may wish to type in a pass for this image which you uploaded:

• File:Mountain view from home2.jpg

As for this second image, something seems to have gone wrong with the bot upload: File:Howitzer fired in Afghanistan.jpg I think you uploaded it too. Strange.

Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:26, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah, the upload bot can contract hiccups, probably more often in the early days. Both fixed (except I still don't know the name of the mountain). --Ranveig (talk) 09:19, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks for fixing the 2 problems. No, I have no idea what mountain it is since I'm in BC, Canada. But the picture is quite high resolution. Cheers, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:56, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Comment

Here are 2 reasonably good images you may wish to type a pass in since you uploaded them. This guy--Butterfield--licensed many images freely years ago. Some are even uploaded via FlickrLickr:

• File:Stewart-Baseball.jpg
• File:Stewart-Rockface near Squamish.jpg

Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 04:15, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

These 3 images

Dear Ranveig, Please consider marking these 3 important images which you uploaded.

• File:Hiroshima Flame of Peace.jpg
• File:Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.jpg
• File:Hiroshima Pond of Peace.jpg

Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 02:15, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks for your kind help here. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

3 more images

Please help pass these 3 more images you uploaded. The flick owners all deleted them sadly when they were inspected.

• File:Stewart-Beau Dick mask.jpg
• File:Prayer before leaving.jpg
• File:Stewart-Fireworks bay.jpg

Thank You Ranveig, --Leoboudv (talk) 05:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh dear, I went through the category of problematic files but failed to spot these. Sorted. --Ranveig (talk) 10:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks. I recognized the third image as the HSBC Celebration of Lights in Vancouver where I live and gave it a description. With kind Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:50, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment: There are a few more images here uploaded by you. All their file names start with "Stewart." Just in case you want to mark them. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 21:58, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I did three or so. The rest are of too poor a quality for today's standard, I think. Probably better to delete them. --Ranveig (talk) 23:04, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

• Yes I had the same impression too. Many of this person's images are mediocre sadly. I'll consider filing a DR on them. As an aside, I hope someday someone will use my high resolution photos here Maybe someone likes native or European art or scenery. With kind Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:39, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

• File:WBC-pouring split.jpg

Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 07:49, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks Ranveig. Its a pity Mac9 never applied to be a trusted user. If not, he could pass the many pictures uploaded by him now resting in the possible unfree category...because the flickr owners changed the license or deleted the pictures like this image: File:Zabid flickr01.jpg But he has apparently left Commons now for almost 1 year sadly. Cheers, --Leoboudv (talk) 05:04, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment It seems the flickr review bot is down. It has not marked images for 2+ days now and the backlog is more than 100 photos What a shame. --Leoboudv (talk) 05:08, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Ranveig!

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations"). Pro-tip: The CommonSense tool can help you find the best category for your image.

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

• Thank you --Leoboudv (talk) 19:20, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:

• Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
• State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
• If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
• Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
• Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Thank you.

Please help replace this outdated license

Hello!

Thank you for donating images to the Wikimedia Commons. You have uploaded some images in the past with the license {{PD}}. While this was a license acceptable in the early days of Wikimedia, since January 2006, this license has been deprecated and since October 2008 no new uploads with this license was allowed.

The license on older images should be replaced with a better and more specific license/permissions and you can help by checking the images and adding {{PD-self}} if you are the author or one of the other templates that you can see in the template on the image page.

Thank you for your help. If you need help feel free to ask at Commons talk:Licensing or contact User:Zscout370.

The images we would like you to check are:

Request for comment - corn or maize?

It's a very old story that began with creation of Category:Corn-based food in 2005. Now you're invited to resolve the Maize vs. Corn contest at Commons:Categories for discussion/2011/02/Category:Corn. NVO (talk) 08:30, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

2011 Egyptian Protests

Hi there, I noticed the subcategory Category:Egyptian Revolution of 2011 to check which you created, and would like to help out. I assume "checking" entails describing and categorizing the images. Or does copyright status need to be checked as well? --Ranveig (talk) 20:38, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Yes of course, you could help. I upload those pictures from flickr. The licenses seem faithful. But the description (with the template {{en}} for instance) and the category need to be modified. - Zil (d) 07:27, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
