User talk:Meenalraut

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Meenalraut!

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.

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? 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. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

This message was added automatically by Nikbot, if you need some help about it please read the text above again and follow the links in it, if you still need help ask at the → Commons:Help desk in any language you like to use. --Nikbot 13:21, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

File tagging File:All Stars Football Club, 2013.png

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:All Stars Football Club, 2013.png. 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:All Stars Football Club, 2013.png]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Please use OTRS and the Wikimedia Commons when uploading free images

You have uploaded 8 files to the English Wikipedia (log) and 2 files to the Wikimedia Commons (log). Of the 8, 5 have been deleted, one has been deleted but a file by the same name was uploaded by you to the Commons, and 1 will likely be deleted because there is no evidence that the copyright owner gave permission and it its current usage does not qualify as a "non-free" image ("non-free" images of living people are generally not allowed on pages about that individual). Of the 2 files uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons, one has been deleted and the other will likely be deleted because there is no evidence that the copyright owner gave permission to license it under a Commons-compatible "free" license.

Given your history, I would strongly urge you to restrict yourself to non-free images when uploading files to the English Wikipedia, paying very careful attention to Wikipedia's copyright-related policies and guidelines, especially en:WP:Copyright and en:WP:Non-free content criteria.

If you do upload something to the Wikimedia Commons as a "free" image and it is not blatantly obviously in the public domain, I highly recommend that you use the file's talk page to clearly demonstrate why it is in the public domain or that it has been published by the copyright owner under a free license, OR have the copyright owner "donate" the material to Wikipedia and log the donation through the OTRS system. Please see Commons:Donate to the public domain and Commons:OTRS for more information.

Important note: Even if you are the copyright holder and the instructions on the Commons say that the copyright holder does not need to use the OTRS process, because of your past record of uploading files that were later deleted I highly recommend using OTRS anyways. Using OTRS typically "bullet-proofs" your uploads on the Wikimedia Commons from deletion if the only reason for the deletion was a copyright issue. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 20:47, 19 January 2014 (UTC) Updated for the Commons.
