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 put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 10:13, 31 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Unlinked images of yours that I found are as follows:

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

TeVe, congratulations! You now have 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 admins, 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.


Per the results of Commons:Administrators/Requests and votes/TeVe... I would ask and advise you to participate in the community, seeking input and feedback, so that the concerns of those that opposed or were neutral will be allayed. If I can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to ask. ++Lar: t/c 19:29, 10 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Congrats!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 03:07, 14 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Requesting removal of admin privileges edit

Oulun kaupunginosat edit

Hei! Olet tehnyt aikanaan kartat Oulun kaupunginosista ja suuralueista. Oulun kaupunginosakartta menee kuitenkin vuodenvaihteessa uusiksi Ylikiimingin kuntaliitoksen myötä, joten olisiko sinulla aikaa tai innostusta päivittää karttoja? Oulun kaupungin www-sivuilla[1] on nähtävillä jonkinlainen kartta lähteeksi. Vaihtoehtoisesti, onko sinulla olemassa vanhoista kartoista muokattavia (vektorimuotoisia) versioita, joita joku muu voisi käyttää päivitystyön pohjana niin, ettei tarvitsisi keksiä pyörää kokonaan uudestaan? Lisäksi tällöinhän uudet kartat voisi julkaista suoraan SVG-muodossa. --Apalsola tc 17:15, 30 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Eli joku IP on sitä mieltä, että kuva on muka tylsä ja pitäisi siksi poistaa. En kuitenkaan viitsi suoraan poistaa {{Delete}}-mallinetta, että menee käytännön mukaan. --Apalsola tc 10:22, 14 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ole hyvä käytä svg muotoa edit

Hei, olit lisännyt oulusta ainakin jonkun kaupunginosan kartan. Jos mahdollista voitko tehdä kartat svg-muodossa niin niitä pystyy suurentamaan paremmin? --Olli (talk) 07:54, 25 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
