User talk:Exnihilox

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Exnihilox!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Wikimedia Commons has a specific scope

---

Thank you for your contributions. Your image or other content, User:Exnihilox, was recently deleted, or will soon be deleted, in accordance with our process and policies, because it was not, or is not, within our scope. Please review our project scope, but in short, Commons is targeted at educational media files including photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text and video clips. The expression “educational” is to be understood according to its broad meaning of “providing knowledge; instructional or informative”. Wikimedia Commons does not contain text articles like encyclopedia articles, textbooks, news, word definitions and such. Each of these other kinds of content have their own projects: Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary and Wikiquote. If the content seems to fit the scope of one of those other projects, please consider contributing it there. Otherwise, consider an alternative outlet. If you think that the deletion was in error because the contribution really was in scope, you can appeal it at Commons:Undeletion requests, giving a reason why it fits our scope to help others evaluate the matter. Thank you for your understanding.

I am unclear on the aforementioned. My edits were for clarity and I see no relevance in the data sent. Kindly clarify - many thanks! My edits were structural and for clarity - if there is a formal process - please let me know. No content was modified. The articles I modified are factually VERY badly written - it is not clear from the aforementioned what you are actually stating! Exnihilox (talk) 13:58, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Undeleted and tagged for regular deletion, so it can be discussed for one week. Of course you are invited to add your comments on Commons:Deletion requests/User:Exnihilox. Regards, Achim55 (talk) 14:42, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Deletion request withdrawn. --Achim55 (talk) 15:40, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Communication

You mentioned communication problems due to possible poor English language skills. The situation is that if an admin perfoms, say, 3,000 edits a month 1,000 of which are administrative ones they are lacking the time to give detailed explanations. Instead they make use of a bunch of standardized notification templates that are translated automatically into the respective recipient's language. Yes, maybe these templates might be improved... All the best, Achim55 (talk) 15:40, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

With great respect - as stated - I respect your role, but as to wasting time - I'd state you have done a great job with all of the noise created. I always intended to refine the upload. And you have been exceedingly unclear in your communication. Respectfully BJK/ Exnihilox (talk) 17:07, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Oh, I just noticed: The character '' you used on your userpage isn't displayed correctly on many systems. Better try a * or something else. --Achim55 (talk) 15:40, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

I think you are now being a little silly and petty - I'll likely modify this many, many times - personally, I would focus on bigger matters. Thanks. Exnihilox (talk) 17:11, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

I do think I should apologize upon re-reading my acerbic remarks - actually, I thought this was in the main Wikipedia section - I have MUCH to learn about the system. There are articles that really need major re-writing and as I just retired I now have the time. Cheers - BJK. Exnihilox (talk) 17:37, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

File tagging File:Wild Horse on Vieques, Puerto RIco - Original Image by Bryan J. Kelly.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Wild Horse on Vieques, Puerto RIco - Original Image by Bryan J. Kelly.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Wild Horse on Vieques, Puerto RIco - Original Image by Bryan J. Kelly.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
