Image-Hvidbroget ravn.jpg

Hi,

you took the very nice Image-Hvidbroget ravn.jpg in the Føroya Náttúrugripasavn, Tórshavn, it seems. This is interesting, because the sources I used to write the Pied Raven article do not mention such a specimen. But being a small museum, this could have been overlooked (maybe the bird was until recently in a private collection?), or they got one of the 6 Copenhagen specimens. Do you know anything about this?

Hej

The Pied Raven in Føroya Náttúrugripasavnis is not real, but a copy. Raven -white hen I wil try in Januar to take a photo from the real Piedraven on Zoologisk museum in Copenhagen 12:11 18 December 2006 (UTC) Erik

Nordic photography

I am a great fan of your photography - a great asset to the Faroe Islands on wikipedia. Keep up the great images!! 81.102.25.233 22:53, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Hej Erik, just a spontaneous short but warm thank you for your photos – very great and impressive work! :-) --Überraschungsbilder 22:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Klipfisk

Hej Erik, I have uploaded this photo from the german wikipedia: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Klipfisk.jpg where it was stated that you were the author, even though it was uploaded by another user. However, somebody noticed there was no explicit consent from you regarding the license. Can you please confirm the license is as it is supposed to be, so that the photo doesn't get deleted? Many thanks in advance. I am also using it in an article about faroese food in the portuguese wikipedia (http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culin%C3%A1ria_das_Ilhas_Faro%C3%A9s). —Adriao 19:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Trøllanes

Hi Erik, Beautiful pictures you have from the Faroe Islands! But I think your picture: File:Trøllanes.3.jpg is actually Mikladalur and not Trøllanes; only Mikladalur has a small forest. Please check. --Loranchet 10 april 2011.

Hello Erik Christensen, the following content you uploaded violates one or more of our policies and therefore has been or will soon be deleted:

File:Der Spiegel.28.12.09.jpg

The Wikimedia Commons (this website) only hosts media files with a realistic educational purpose and that can be used for any purpose, including:

• use in any work, regardless of content
• creation of derivative works
• commercial use
• free distribution

See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.

Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Erik Christensen!

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.

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.

Thank You for the Wikipedia Pictures

Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware pictures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ærøskøbing_1.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Beinisvord,_westcoast_of_suduroy,_faroe_islands.JPG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hvalba_scenery.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Klaksv%C3%ADk.2010.1.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:New_smyril_11.56.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tinganes.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tórshavn_skansin_8.jpg). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm

Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.

Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely,  Duane Hurst in Utah, USA

File source is not properly indicated: File:Island-Geir haarde.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Island-Geir haarde.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Island-Geir haarde.jpg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Copyright status: File:F Marstal 2.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:F Marstal 2.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Nydam.Gottotorp.8.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:Nydam.Gottotorp.8.JPG]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
