Gavin.C~commonswiki

Hello - thank you for providing images to the wikimedia commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the commons should be useful to all users of wikimedia projects - this is possible only if the images can be found by other people. To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should either place the images on topic pages (galleries), or put the images directly into a category, or do both. Which of those possibilities is preferred is however a matter of debate, see here.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There is a large number of completely unsorted images on the commons right now, see Commons:Really unused. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do! Thank you. -- Duesentrieb 11:47, 5 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hi ich kann auch deutsch :-) Ich sammle meine bilder in der Deutschen Wikipedia unter dem selbrn benutzernamen unter Gallerie kannst du sie angucken! Grüße Gavin.C 11:53, 5 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Das da oben ist ein Standardtext, den brauche ich ziemlich oft, sorry. Es geht darum dass die Bilder gefunden werden können wenn jemand nach Bildern zum Thema XY sucht - um ein Bild zum Thema zu finden kann man ja schlecht die Privatgalerien aller Benutzer durchsuchen. Genau wie alle Artikel in der Wikipedia kategorisiert und verlinkt sein sollten, sollte das gleiche für alle Bilder auf den Commons zutreffen. Bilder die so nicht gefunden werden können sind nutzlos für andere. Bitte füge die BIlder also in themenspezifische Galerieseiten oder Kategorien ein. Danke! -- Duesentrieb 12:20, 5 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Anfrage wegen Erweiterung des Copyrights von Bildern in Wikipedia edit

Hallo,

im Rahmen des freien Reiseführers Wikitravel arbeite ich derzeit an einem Artikel über Dublin. In dem Artikel über [Dublin] in Wikipedia habe ich ein von Dir unter „GNU-FDL-Lizenz“ eingestelltes Bild gefunden und zwar das Wappen der Stadt. Dieses Bild würde den Beitrag in Wikitravel sehr gut ergänzen.

Obwohl das Bild der Öffentlichkeit zur Verfügung gestellt wurde, ist ein direktes Übernehmen von Inhalten aus Wikipedia in Wikitravel nicht möglich, weil die in Wikitravel verwendete Lizensiersung „Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0“ (CC-by-SA) mit der in Wikipedia verwendeten „GNU-FDL-Lizenz“ nicht vollständig kompatibel ist. Links zu Artikeln was „CC-by-SA“ ist und warum das so kompliziert ist, findest Du unten.

Es wäre schön, wenn das Bild auch in Wikitravel zur Verfügung stehen würde. Dazu müsstest du dich bereiterklären, das Bild mit einer Doppellizenz zu versehen. Das ist ganz einfach und schnell möglich, indem Du die Lizenzfreigabe für das Bild in Wikipedia ergänzt. Du brauchst dazu nur den Lizenzhinweis auf der Bildseite um den Textbaustein {{Doppellizenz cc-by-sa }} ergänzen. Fertig!

Du kannst das Bild natürlich auch gerne selbst in Wikitravel einstellen. Wir freuen uns über jeden neuen Mitarbeiter!

Vielen Dank im Voraus.

Mit besten Grüßen,

[Hrothgar]

So geschehen bei Image:M1A1.jpg --Denniss 02:06, 12 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Jo sorry ich wusste net das es schon ein bild mit dem Namen gibt! Grüße Gavin.C 16:20, 15 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Wird Dir aber beim Hochladen angezeigt das ein Bild mit gleichem Namen vorhanden ist und das man das vorhandene Bild bitte vor dem endgültigen Hochladen in Augenschein nehmen soll. Bitte beim nächsten Mal nicht einfach weiter auf Hochladen klicken sondern das vorhandene Bild kontrollieren ! --Denniss 22:01, 22 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps I'm wrong but doesn't it say "Copyright EXPN" in the lower right corner? Thuresson 20:19, 22 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Image deletion warning

Image:Tony hawk crossbone.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. 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!

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Elalameinminefield.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Hello, Gavin.C~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.

Your account will be renamed edit

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 Gavin.C. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gavin.C~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

Renamed edit

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

File:Omar Nelson Bradley.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.

The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
