Re:Eurocoins edit
The coin images that were deleted were all from the website of the European Central Bank, and were deleted per discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Eurocoins (as the deletion summaries state). The images from that site are under a license which is not within Commons licensing policy; it is very unfortunate that so many had to be deleted, but we cannot keep pictures here that are under unfree licenses. The images are replaceable, whether from another site that has photographs under a truly free license or by users photographing the coins themselves. -- Editor at Large • talk 17:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- The images on EN as en:Image:2ec por.png are within Commons licensing policy? Or they are not within Commons licensing policy, but they are within EN wiki licensing policy? - UP3 17:16, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- No, they're not within EN nor commons licensing policy, I nominated them for deletion on the English Wikipedia too. Yonatan talk 18:26, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Regarding your question "Can I ask? What about this site pictures? I would like to find some substitute of the deleted pictures, that has an acceptable licence." ... I don't see any copyright information on that site other than "Design and construction © 2007 The Euro Information Website". If you could link me to a specific page referring to copyright that would be helpful. For now all I can say is that those images look like the ones found on the ECB site; if the ibiblio.org/theeuro site uses images from there they would still be under the same restrictions as the original images found directly on the ECB site. Unless the ibilio site created the images or had them released under a free license or got them from another site that has a free license, they are not useable either. If you can find more info let me know and I'll see what we can figure out :) -- Editor at Large • talk 01:14, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- The images of the coins from this site are not the same as those from the ECB website; 'this site' belongs to me. I've uploaded numerous euro images to wikipedia in the past, which have not been deleted. So therefore, I'm going to just upload all of the other images to wikipedia in the same way I have done so for those images.

- Do you not understand that the ECB allows use of the images of the euro coins. What about the ECB allowance is unclear? It is a bit difficult to understand, so I can sort these things out for you- I have an office at the ECB and know first hand that the images are in fact allowed to be used for this sort of thing. So before you go deleting more images that cause the rest of us extra work to get them back online, please discuss the situation with me first. I can probably help you to understand what the ECB does allow and what it does not allow- and for understanding copyright restrictions in general.
- Basically- nobody- even the ECB can claim or otherwise impose a copyright restriction over any of the euro coin images. The only way this would be remotly applicable is if someone put a euro coin on top of a patterned cloth, photographed it and called it a photographic work of art. But then, the ECB does not allow for that, because NOBODY CAN CALIM COPYRIGHT OR RESTRICTION OVER ANY OF THE EURO COIN IMAGES.
- The ECB does not allow the image to be modified in any way and requires the statement that the images are available for free from the ECB website. You can even use the image of a euro coin in an advertisement. You can use an image for the cover of a book that sells for 1.000 euro. You can even use the image for the subject of an artistic work. The source of the image is irrelevant because it is only the image of the coins themselves that are made available. What is done to them afterward- graphically altering and such- are what the ECB has a poblem with.

Image Tagging Image:20cent-n.jpg edit
Thanks for uploading Image:20cent-n.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 content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
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 {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license 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.

File:10cent-n.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.

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 UP3. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name UP3~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
