Gengiskanhg

HI - thanks for contributing to the commons. I just noticed the (extreamly nice) image Image:DivingCubaMariaLaGorda.jpg - you tagged it as GFDL, saying "Image by Diving Institute of Argentina". Are you sure that institute released that image under the GFDL (only the photographer can do that!) - probably the image was released for public use, not under a specific free license. In such a case, please use on of the PD or CopyrightedFreeUse tags - see Commons:Copyright tags for details. If the institute did indeed release it under the GFDL, please link to the page that sais so. -- Duesentrieb 11:16, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

About chess board ideas

Hi my friend, please read [1] for my ideas about chess boards.

Congratulations for your transparent idea!!! Is there a template where you used it?

--Gengiskanhg 18:43, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

See w:Template:Chess position t. Alas, the transparency doesn't work in Internet Explorer 6; see w:Template talk:Chess position t for discussion. I hate Microsoft so much. dbenbenn | talk 18:48, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi again Gengis. Although transparent PNGs don't work in Internet Explorer, transparent GIFs do, as in the image to the right. What do you think? If I replace the large transparent PNG chess tiles with GIF versions, we won't need all the versions in Category:Chess tiles with different background colors any more. dbenbenn | talk 18:20, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

You should know than GIF format is not free, and wikipedia has problems with this type of no free format.

--Gengiskanhg 00:16, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

I am very interesting in collaborate with you in order to create a great chess board template. Now the big problem we face is the i-explorer incompatibility to png files, I can`t understan why if free software community supports their privative formats they can`t do the same supporting the great png format.--Gengiskanhg 00:20, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

GIF is free now. According to w:GIF, "the Unisys patent has ... expired". The Commons has no problem with GIF; see Category:Animation, for example. dbenbenn | talk 13:47, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Revisa la imagen, pusiste que es de dominio público pero no pusiste el origen. Si lo hiciste tú basta con cambiar PD por PD-self.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Gengiskanhg!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

• Image:Chess tile xo.png is uncategorized since 6 May 2009.

Please help replace this outdated license

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:

If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so.

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Coatepantli signboard-Tollan-Xicocotitlan-Hidalgo Mexico.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar.
