This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cute tiger cub cropped.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.

Please stop edit

Editwarring with another user, like You did here, I don't see any reason why to not have it on commons, it is for a wmf project, maybe other nl.projects want to use it too, many thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 13:21, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I am the one writing the manual which is using the pics. I don't intend a seperate manual for other nl projects. I will start the normal procedure, if someone would point that out. Thanks. Zanaq 13:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Upload form edit

If you already have a {{Information}} template ready for copy/pasting into the form and thus would like to have the old form layout back, edit your Special:Mypage/monobook.js and add the following line:

var UploadForm_forcebasic = true;

The save and force a reload (shift-reload on Firefox, ctrl-reload on IE).

And if you could translate the follwing into Dutch, I could add it to Commons:Upload/nl:


For experienced users:


Cheers, Lupo 08:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much: I have implemented this solution, and it works fine. Saludos. Zanaq 08:57, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I will put the translation below: Zanaq 09:05, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply


Voor ervaren gebruikers:


Om altijd het basisuploadformulier te gebruiken kun je aan Special:Mypage/monobook.js de regel var UploadForm_forcebasic = true; toevoegen. Na het opslaan moet je nog wel even de cache legen. (shift-reload in Firefox, ctrl-reload in Internet Explorer)

Please help replace this outdated license edit

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.

The images we would like you to check are:

File:Jabba the Hutt.jpg edit

 
Wikimedia Commons does not accept fair use content.

We do this because Commons is a shared media repository. Downstream wikis have different policies based on local laws. Uses that are acceptable under US law, for example, may not be acceptable in many other countries with more restrictive rules.

In addition, fair use is not compatible with our aim as a collection of freely distributable media files.

Therefore, Commons cannot legally rely on fair use provisions.

Non-free content that may be used with reference to fair use may be uploaded locally if your project allows this.
