User talk:Calvinkulit/Archive 1

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Calvinkulit!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

File:TM7000LEDS.jpg

File:TM7000LEDS.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.

Commons is not for Wikipedia articles

---

Hello! I noticed that you tried to create a Wikipedia article on Commons. Please note that Commons is not Wikipedia, and does not host encyclopedia content - Commons only hosts media (photographs, videos, etc).

To create a Wikipedia article, please go to Wikipedia's article wizard. You might also find Wikipedia's new contributors' help page useful.

If you have any questions about contributing media to Commons, please see Commons' Help Index, and if necessary ask for help at Commons:Upload help. Thanks.

This includes the redirects you made in the mainspace that’s meant for galleries. --1989 (talk) 16:53, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

@1989: Thank you for telling me about that. Calvinkulit (talk) 08:26, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Transfers from other wiki projects

Hello. Could you do me a favor and make sure you clean up the transfers after moving a file from English Wikipedia? The scripts are perfect and we expect transferrers to do their part. This and this both have markup errors due to transfer.

Thanks. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 01:46, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

@Magog the Ogre: I will try to, but I am quite lazy when it comes to exporting WP files to Commons. Calvinkulit (talk) 04:37, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Well, perhaps an even lazier administrator will come along and just delete your files instead of fixing them and providing a polite note for you. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 01:39, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Well perhaps, I shouldn't be hasty with exports from the English Wikipedia. Calvinkulit (talk) 09:02, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Yes, please! Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 02:22, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:GW split.svg

Copyright status: File:GW split.svg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:GW split.svg. 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.

Don't edit archives

Hii I've reverted your edit to Commons:Requests for rights/Denied/Others/2011, you shouldn't edit archives because they are kept as historical purpose. And also don't archive requests on Commons:Requests for rights by yourself, it's admin's work. Thank you! -- CptViraj (📧) 11:23, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

@CptViraj: Thank you, sorry about that. Calvinkulit (talk) 11:26, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
