Jazin~commonswiki
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. 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. |

Your account will be renamed
editHello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jazin. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jazin~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

License of SVG Cycling Jerseys
editDear Jazin~commonswiki,
You uploaded a cycling jersey SVG icon to Wikimedia Commons. Great work, thanks for that! It is the file:Jersey bluedot.svg .
However, the shape is exactly the same as the file:Jersey polkadot.svg that I created, and uploaded under CC-BY-SA. This means that if you create derivative works, you must
- credit the original creator(s), and
- share it under the same license
You did not credit me as the original author of the work you made a derivative of, ánd you did not use the CC-BY-SA license.
Could you make changes to the images you uploaded? You can do this very simply by adding the following lines to the icons you originally created (and removing the current license template line)
{{Self |1= cc-by-sa-4.0|author=Jazin~commonswiki |attribution= Shape based upon [[:file:Jersey polkadot.svg]] by [[User:IIVQ]]}}
{{Template:Change-of-license}}
and if there is a summary table, change the line that reads |source={{own}}
with a line that reads something like
|source={{own}} Shape based upon [[:file:Jersey polkadot.svg]] by [[User:IIVQ]]
If you based this icon on another icon than File:Jersey polkadot.svg, you can substitute that and credit the creator thereof as well as the authors of the work they based their work on.
