Autopatrol given

edit
 

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Trijnsteltalk 15:25, 4 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello Trijnstel! Thanks for granting autopatrolled. Since I work with requesting renaming files, can I be kindly given access to the filemover right? It'd help me a lot, rather than having to sit and tag pages. My contributions denote a well-understanding of the renaming policy. I usually mass tag files for renaming (criterion two) and this sometimes creates a backlog in the category. Thanks! Ethically Yours (talk) 16:05, 4 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Hi Ethically Yours. I'm not sure. You certainly do great work on Commons, but I'd like to see a bit more experience with renames. (ping Alan) Trijnsteltalk 16:45, 5 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
It isn't anything like it will be the biggest help; but with over 50 successful rename requests; and when I mass tag pages for renaming, there's always a backlog, I asked for it. None of my rename requests were ever unsuccessful. I don't think so that I'm gonna be somewho who abuses it. Ethically Yours (talk) 16:47, 5 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
We only give out the right to people with either much experience on other projects (much experience with renaming files) or when people have approximately 1,000-1,500 edits and have shown a need for the tools. Keep up the good work and request the rights after a few months again if you still need it. Trijnsteltalk 17:02, 5 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Hi. For me it seems too early (~200 editions, < 2 months). In my opinion still lack some experience, but the work is good. Regards. Alan (talk) 19:38, 5 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Cut made in the image: File:NGC_6946.jpg

Hello. I made a slight cut in the picture because had black spots on the edges of the image, and if possible, you could leave the image most sharp. Thanks. ArionEstar (talk) from Google Translate. 15:27, 16 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Hi Ethically Yours, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

  • Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
  • Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
  • Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Your additions to landscapes.

edit

You recently uploaded a lot of images to the landscapes category, most of which clearly do not belong there. Images of people sleeping, clouds, tree trunks etc are clearly not landscapes by any definition. As the page itself notes, "especially buildings, mountains and forests do NOT belong into this category". Landscapes is not a dustbin category for anything that can't be placed elsewhere. The category constantly becomes overcrowded by editors using it that way, and it takes a lot of editors a lot of work to keep it useable and uncrowded.Mark Marathon (talk) 00:25, 16 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

The categories were added automatically by the tool. I will try to fix it. Ethically Yours (talk) 01:15, 16 February 2015 (UTC)Reply


Congratulations, Dear license reviewer

edit
 
If you use the helper scripts, you will find the links next to the search box (vector) or as single tabs (monobook). They are named license+ and license-.

Hi Ethically Yours, thanks for your request for license reviewer status. The request has been closed as successful, and you've been added to the list of reviewers. You can now start reviewing files – please see Commons:License review and Commons:Flickr files if you haven't done so already. We also have a guide how to detect copyright violations. Potential backlogs include Flickr review, Picasa review, Panoramio review, and files from other sources. You can use one of the following scripts by adding one of the lines to your common.js:

importScript('User:ZooFari/licensereviewer.js'); // stable script for reviewing images from any kind of source OR
importScript('User:Rillke/LicenseReview.js'); // contains also user notification when review fails, auto blacklist-check and auto-thank you message for Flickr-reviews.

You can also add {{User license reviewer}} to your user page if you wish. Thank you for your contributions on Commons! 1989 22:17, 16 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
