Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Emdosis!

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.

Copyright status: File:Dramaticchip.jpg

Copyright status: File:Dramaticchip.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Dramaticchip.jpg. 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.

In addition, I noticed that you've made a malformed deletion request, also here: not creating the subpage, naming the subpage badly, and not transcluding. Here, {{Delete}} is not for speedy deletion, please see COM:DP. When you want to delete a page by manually using the {{Delete}} template (rather than the automatic Nominate for deletion tool in the Tools menu on the sidebar per COM:DR#Starting requests), please remember to follow the instructions in the template, including the "Click here to show further instructions" portion (or Commons:Deletion requests/Listing a request manually policy), otherwise you will create a lot of work for other people.

not creating the subpage

I didn't create the subpage because I don't think a deletion request is needed at all and was waiting for Omphalographer to see my comment.

naming the subpage badly

I named it the same way as the previous deletion request. Was that malformed too?

not transcluding

I don't know what you're talking about. Transcluding where? I'm sorry I'm technically a newbie. You don't have to bite my head off.

Warning: such edits are not tolerated and have led to account blocks, as "We cannot work here with people who are not willing to follow our procedures, in particular for deletion requests."

Thanks, for the warning.. I guess...

Edit: While writing this I seem to have followed the instructions laid out here. I must have clicked on it instead of the link just above that (the same one you linked) by mistake. I apologize for that and for any inconvenience caused. But please, go easy on the warnings, jeez. Emdosis (talk) 06:00, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

File tagging File:CuteHedgehog.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:CuteHedgehog.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:CuteHedgehog.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

There is no "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag. Emdosis (talk) 12:52, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Please do not overwrite files

---

I noticed that you uploaded a file using the name File:CuteHedgehog.jpg. A file by this name already existed on Commons. Overwriting an existing file should not be done except when making minor, uncontroversial corrections, so the file has been restored to its previous version. If the file that you attempted to upload is within our project scope and is in the public domain or published under a free license, please upload it again under a different name. Thank you. For more information, please see Commons:Overwriting files.

--0x0a (talk) 06:20, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

You literally nominated it for deletion; that's why I changed the image. You didn't respond to my comment either. What on earth is your problem? Emdosis (talk) 06:35, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

@Emdosis This is your problem. You uploaded Kenny Belue's photo without asking him for permission. So, I tag it with "No permission" in order to give you one week to contact the author for permission. Instead of doing that, you overwrited that file with an AI image, which violates our rule. I process dozens of images everyday, and I can't keep an eye on everyone's talkpage to see what they relied. If you want to leave a message for someone, use{{Re|username}}. 0x0a (talk) 06:54, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

@0x0a: If it's going to be deleted anyway I might as well replace it, no? It's not my fault Wikimedia websites are so restricted that people can't even delete images they uploaded themselves. Sure, now that I think about it, I could have requested a move before uploading (which I'll do next time). But I don't understand why you can't just delete the first image... Emdosis (talk) 07:36, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Do you mean you want to stick with the filename "CuteHedgehog.jpg"? Generally, the newer file will be moved to "<<old_name>> (1).jpg". 0x0a (talk) 08:04, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

@0x0a: Yes, I wanted to keep the filename (logically so, otherwise I'd have to change the link manually wherever this image is used). Now that Sreejithk2000 split the image and named the new image cute_hedgehog. I'll have to change the image when it invariably gets deleted (it was uploaded after 2018 so it has the revised pexels license which disallows it being uploaded to 'other stock photo or wallpaper platforms').

It's a mix of 2 'twemojis', the copyright belongs to twitter. I removed the template. Please let me know if that's ok with you. Emdosis (talk) 22:29, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Where a novel image is created from several public domain components, the person who combined them would hold the copyright over further use of that particular image. Belbury (talk) 12:38, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

They're not public domain images. Emdosis (talk) 22:00, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm giving the plainest example. The same would go for a novel image created from several CC-BY images, etc. If someone wanted to combine various CC-BY works and CC-BY-NC licence the result under their own name (in addition to the sources), we'd respect that rather than erasing the new name and treating it as CC-BY because the original works were already freely licenced.

Copyright violations

---

Hello Emdosis. You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful. This is your last warning. The next time you upload a file that violates copyright, you will be blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions.

  — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:45, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

If you actually had gone through the effort of going case by case through all messages on my talk page, you'd have realized that I never actually uploaded anything that contributed a "copyright violation". At worst, I uploaded sth that was unclear whether it had copyright protection or not, and the other uploads had various licenses to share, just not good enough for commons. If you paid attention, you would've noticed that I never actually made the same mistake twice. But thanks for the warning anyway... Emdosis (talk) 21:57, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

File:CuteHedgehog.jpg was deleted as a copyright violation and File:Dramaticchip.jpg was deleted because it had no license. I read the logs of every one of your deleted files. Please take back your accusation that I didn't.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:12, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

File:CuteHedgehog.jpg was deleted because it was uploaded 2 years to late (obscure pexels rule because their license changed post 2018).

File:Dramaticchip.jpg was deleted because when I realized that the CC-BY license also mentioned Non-commercial/no derivatives I removed it. Once again, not a copyright violation in the slightest.

I take back that you didn't do your due diligence, but throwing around warnings like this when they're wholly unnecessary is going to lead to uncomfortable situations like this.

regards

Emdosis (talk) 12:24, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

When the designer of File:Dramaticchip.jpg sues the WMF and you personally for having that file on this site without a free license, you may sing a different tune. See also COM:LJ. Every page on pexels.com features a "License" link to here. That page and {{Pexels}} are crystal clear. How is that obscure?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:45, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

I think you're highly overestimating the possibility that an inactive Deviantart user is going to sue the WMF for Death Note fanart being on commons but leaving that aside for a moment:

I didn't "have the file on wikimedia commons without a free license" for a week. I uploaded a work with a CC-BY license. Then realized later that it was released as non-commericial/no derivatives so I changed it. Because I'm honest. I could have easily left the CC-BY license and no-one would have noticed, probably for years, but I changed it to CC-BY-ND (which isn't valid on commons), and it got deleted 7 days later as a result.

"Every page on pexels.com features a "License" link to here. That page and {{Pexels}} are crystal clear..."

I'm sorry but that part (on their website) about databases is easily overlooked. And you think I new about the pexels template? Seriously?

I didn't even know about this page all together. Let alone about Bad sources. Why on earth would I assume there are special licenses for specific websites? Or specific templates? That template isn't even linked on any Commons guideline page! The only way to know about that template is too look at other uploads that have the tag... Emdosis (talk) 14:36, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
