Can you change my username to Snow White Queen, the name ı use in Turkish Wikipedia?--Ms. Naz (talk) 16:20, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Well Kimse isn't a bureaucrat, but the easiest thing to do would be you creating a new account, with the above username or you can go to changing username. Best regards, --Kanonkas_(talk) 16:29, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Help in translation

Hi, I'm Giorgio. I'm italian and, among all the other things that I'm doing here in Commons, I'm following the project related to the italian admiral Ernesto Burzagli. At the moment we are scanning all his material and uploading it on commons. Recently we found a document written in russian or, at least, in cyrillic alphabet. Can you help us with the translation or do you know somebody that can help us with it? Here the link: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Rusaw.jpg. Thank you--Giorgiomonteforti (talk) 21:55, 22 October 2008 (UTC) Thank you very much!Whatever you need, and I can do, just ask.--Giorgiomonteforti (talk) 10:05, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

i informed all of the authors and their reply to me was simply to use the image and change the license. "ok you may upload it pls recognize me as the author thanks" rodrobles. "I also have a Wikipedia account so I had the photo uploaded using my username. Feel free to use the image in any related Wikipedia article" crazyangelblue. "Regarding the picture of the Naga cathedral, I am honored by your choice of my picture. Feel free to use it for your needs... Sorry for the late reply, haven't been reading my flicker lately" goriob. "no worries. my license covers attribution only. meaning just ask my permission and give me credit and you can post my photos. my only request is to give me a link to where the photo was used" ~MVI~. "Thank you for your email and interest in this particular photo. I've already changed it's license so you may upload it in your said website. I'd be glad to see one of mine there.

File:Almaty Torch Relay.jpg

Здравствуйте, Kimsə! Не очень приятно, что мой снимок удалили с Викисклада, обосновав это отсутствием свободы панорамы в Казахстане. А кто пострадал-то? Кока-Кола или МОК? Если они так страдают от моего снимка, пусть экспонируют свои биллборды в закрытых помещениях, взимая плату. Если я не прав, прошу разъяснить, где именно. Или этапы эстафеты Олимпийского огня проходят еженедельно и в каждом городе? Спасибо! Ds02006 (talk) 13:59, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Image rename using bad name template

Hi. Thank you for the welcome message. One image needs a rename for which I have used {{Bad name}} template. It showed a delete request on the page. I am assuming the admin will be doing a correct move, as the target name does not exist. Rename from Image:சுபபந்துவராளிShubhapanthuvarali_scale_Tamil.svg to Image:சுபபந்துவராளி.svg. I am also planning to request 6 on renames where the uploaded name is in English, but preferred will be in Tamil. I think that will be best, as they are specifically in Tamil. Please let me know guidelines for these (if there is separate one for multiple renames). Thanks. VasuVR (talk, contribs) 04:05, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Kimse. You have new messages at VasuVR's talk page. You may remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Sticky & Sweet Tour and other images

For example, the pics from Virgin Tour, Re-Invention Tour and Confessions Tour were taken by other Madonna fans, which are my friends and let me upload them. Do you think one rememberes what camera did he had years ago? - regarding the Viring Tour. And I don't know what camera did I use for the Kylie, Juanes, etc pictures since I've borrowed from a friend of mine. Just wait a couple of days until I find out what camera does he have. And don't delete them ;). Alecsdaniel (talk) 12:10, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, what kind of proof do you want? I don't think I can prove anything unfortunately. I really don't know what to say about that picture..Maybe it was really stolen...I'm sorry for that. Regarding those other ones, just tell me what do I have to do to save them, please. Alecsdaniel (talk) 10:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Numele imagini

Dragă RomânescEsteLatin! În legătură cu numle imagini Image:2980116171 9f406e3c20 b.jpg etc. ar fi mai bine să schimbi numele pe un nume mai uşor de reţinut. Înainte de a trimite un fisier poţi schimba numele imagini. Dacă numele imagini nu este bun, sau din oricare alt motiv vrei să-l schimbi foloseşte formatul: {{rename|aici scrie numele nou}}. Toate cele bune.--Gothika (talk) 13:54, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Bouchard

In the image Image:Bouchard.gif I have replaced the tag with "no source" because the image description does not provide source information to justify the portrait being public domain. Don't get confused, the years provided are not the author's lifetime but the lifetime of Hipólito Bouchard himself. It is the author, not the man despicted in the portrait, the one who must have died 70 years ago or more; and the image description does not even mention who is the author. For what we know, the portrait could have been made 10 years ago by a still living man.

Perhaps, if we investigate the image and finally locate the author, we may find that it was public domain anyway. But we may also find that it wasn't. And, when we have not enough nformation to verify either thing, the Precautionary principle applies and the image gets deleted (wich does not stop it from being re-uploaded in the case such PD informaton finally appears) Belgrano (talk) 12:13, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Open proxies

Good day, Kimse. I'd like to just leave you a note that open proxies aren't always open proxies, they tend to change. Some change in days unlikely but possible. Usually they tend to stay up to some months, 1 year or longer so please don't block them indefinite. However a webhost usually stays longer. As a last note, it isn't much open proxy abuse here and there are good contribs from these so please only block abusive open proxies if you would. If you have any questions feel free to ask! Best regards, --Kanonkas_(talk) 13:33, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Just to say that I was coming to say the same thing. Commons do not block IPs on an indef basis (last time I looked there had been three in the past 4/5 months) - the internet is changeable & getting a block removed is about impossible. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 16:42, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I see, thanks for the info. I was thinking in terms of "preemptive block," but I guess Bush Doctrine has many flaws. What's the best way of dealing with the above mentioned open proxies; should they rather stay unblocked as long as they're not used for vandalism? --Kimsə (talk) 01:23, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Solely my own views :) (& they didn't start this way!).

The internet is a changing place - IPs get reallocated over time, the Meta "unblock open proxy" page is basically ignored from what I've seen.

I now feel that unless there is abuse blocking an IP is maybe unnecessary - quite a few decent edits come from Open Proxies and in some parts of the world they are almost essential. If there is abuse then block by all means (& quite a bit of abuse comes via CU list/evidence etc).

As to length - folk vary. A year is fine (they can always be blocked again after that time), so is two years to me. I know others would go for five years, personally I think that is quite a long time - I've worked on wiki for half that & it feels like a very long time :).

File source is not properly indicated: File:Geraldine_Ferraro.jpg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Geraldine_Ferraro.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

File:Ahmed Abdallah Sambi, President of Comoros.jpg

Hi Kimse, You have deleted an image I posted of Ahmed Abdallah Sambi, the President of Comoros. Why? I took that picture on the streets in Comoros, and self-made pictures of "public figures" are explicitly allowed by Wikipedia. As President of a country, Sambi definitely is a public figure. If anything, it would be up to the person in question, or his political party, or the Comorian Government, to contest an infringement of any portrait or copyright, and in such case, I would of course remove the picture. But to see it removed by a third person (with all due respect) seems a bit overzealous to me, espcially, since I already said, it's a picture of a public figure.

De-adminship warning

Deutsch | Español

Dear Kimse/Archive 4. I am writing to you to inform you that you are in danger of losing your adminship on Commons because of inactivity.

If you want to keep your adminship, you need both to sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section within 30 days of today's date, and also to make at least five further admin actions in the following six months. Anyone who does not do so will automatically lose administrator rights.

You can read the de-admin policy at Commons:Administrators/De-adminship.

Thank you

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Kimse!

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.

I would like to say that I'm deeply thankful for all the hard work you've done here on Commons, and I'm sure the complete communety agrees with me on this. I would love to see you again as active user, or administrator on Commons in the future.
