Hi, you have to attribute the original author if you modified a GFDL'ed work. Furthermore the template for GFDL is {{GFDL}} not {{GNU-FDL}} --Baikonur 22:18, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

File:Pompeii the last day 1.jpg

Hm.

Hi,

This image is cool, but I think you need a real statement in writing from the copyright owners that they are releasing it under the GFDL. The current conversation thread you posted is very ambiguous, and clearly shows that the person who wrote it thinks that he has given permission for it to be used on Wikipedia, which is of course forbidden. I realize that you note that you had a phone call with him that he knows it can be copied, but I think you need it in writing. 208.57.241.20 22:52, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

About map

Hi, i'm id-wiki user. I know very little about ArcView. How to make a good and artistic map, is there any template for making map in wiki? Which software should I use? (I'm Windows XP user). FYI, these map I've made are very bad, huh? Look at this: locator and county-division. Please reply to my id-wiki discussion page. 203.130.254.69 04:34, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this image, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. If the file is up for deletion because it has been superseded by a superior derivative of your work, consider the notion that although the file may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new file. In all cases, please do not take the deletion request personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

Congratulations, Dear Administrator!

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades...

Danny~commonswiki, congratulations! You now have the the rights of administrator on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard and Commons:Deletion requests), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other SYSOPS, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons @ irc.freenode.net. Cary "Bastiq▼e" Bass ^demandez 03:24, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

:Image:Semen2.jpg

Regarding:[1]

Please return the image immediately! It has been used for some time in the en.wikipedia semen article, and was an excellent example of the topic. It had been hotly debated in that article, and a consensus was reached some time back on its validity and value to the article. How is it that you think you can summarily delete the image without any due process or discussion through the established process? Had you followed the process appropriately, you would have found out that the image was being used actively, and had strong consensus for use within the proper context.

Illuminated letters

Hi Danny. I think it would be helpful for others if you provided the URL that you obtained the original images from for the illuminated letters you've been uploading. Then others, if they're curious, can see the letters in context, and can look for other useful stuff themselves. Thanks :) ~MDD4696 02:13, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I have been pulling them from magazine articles in the Making of America project, which collects old magazines, at Cornell University and the University of Michigan. I upload them as I find them in articles I am working on for wikisource. The complete list of magazines is here. Mine were taken from Century Magazine. You can see an example of how I used them here. Hope this helps. Danny 02:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Please clarify your admin position

Hi Danny. There is confusion as to whether you are still an admin; and if you want to be one. You still have your admin capabilities, yet in a recent request for adminship you stated you wanted to wait to apply for adminship for a while. I asked on meta for a removal of your admin status (because you have stated you wanted it removed) but was told you should make such a request yourself. [3] Could you please clarify if you want your admin status removed, or if you want to keep it? There will be no controversy if you want to keep it, I am just asking where you stand... Thank you.

Administrative notice

Deutsch

Hi. This message is sent out to you because you are an administrator on Commons, and you made little use (or no use) of the admin tools lately: less than 5 times in the last five months.

Commons has a new policy on admin activity, Commons:Administrators/De-adminship, taken into use on June 13, 2007 (after a poll among users). According to that policy, admins who use their tools infrequently will be asked whether they still need their adminship, and if they do not respond or require them the removal of the tools will be requested.

If you feel you still need your admin tools, please sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section within 30 days from the date this message was sent out. However, if you then don't make 5 admin actions in the following 5 months, you will lose the adminship without any notice.

This is not a comment on the considerable help you have given to the project in the past but reflects the wish of the community to see active administrators and to ensure that possible security breaches are minimized.

This message is sent out by bot. If you want to give feedback on it, you can do so here — 08:50, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Danny~commonswiki!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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").

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.

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.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Danny. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Danny~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
