Hello Omondi!
Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!
Thank you. BotMultichillT (talk) 09:12, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

No fair use on Commons
edit |
Wikimedia Commons does not accept fair use content.
We do this because Commons is a shared media repository. Downstream wikis have different policies based on local laws. Uses that are acceptable under US law, for example, may not be acceptable in many other countries with more restrictive rules. In addition, fair use is not compatible with our aim as a collection of freely distributable media files. Therefore, Commons cannot legally rely on fair use provisions. Non-free content that may be used with reference to fair use may be uploaded locally if your project allows this.

- File:Notyet.gif was from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Notyet.gif, the source clearly says that the image is NOT free for every use including commercial use. --Martin H. (talk) 14:40, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

| This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Mombasa-fortifications.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Mombasa-fortifications.jpg]]).
If you created the content yourself, enter 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.

Files you uploaded may be deleted
editThe files listed below, which you uploaded, have been tagged {{OTRS pending}} for more than 30 days. This tag indicates that an email setting out permission to use the file was sent to the OTRS team. Unfortunately, we cannot find any record that such an email has been received, and accordingly the file remains without permission. Unless the OTRS team receives evidence that permission has been granted within 15 days of today's date, the file will be deleted. If you have not sent the permission, please send it to "permissions-commons
wikimedia.org" now. Please quote the file name in your email. If you have, please leave a message at the OTRS noticeboard, quoting the file name, so that a volunteer can follow this up. Alternatively, you can contact an OTRS volunteer directly. Please note that this message is being left by an automated bot, whose operator is not an OTRS volunteer, therefore please do not send this information to me, as it will not save your images from deletion. Thanks for your time! Please help translate this message! HersfoldOTRSBot(talk/opt out) 01:51, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
- Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
- State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
- If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
- Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
- Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.
If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.
It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.
You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.
Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.
Thank you.This message was added automatically by Nikbot, if you need some help about it, ask its master (Filnik) or go to the Commons:Help desk. --Filnik 21:02, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

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. INeverCry 01:28, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

comment utiliser une carte dans un infobox?
editBonjour, Omondi voila j'ai une petite question pour toi. Vu que tu as importer [1] et qu'on peut l'utiliser dans l'infobox des lieu de Liège, pour le localiser, et que pour l'utiliser, il suffit de mettre Liège dans géolocalisation, je me demandais comment faire pareil avec une autre carte style [2]--Zergori (talk) 15:40, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Bonjour Zergori. Je suppose que ta demande concerne le projet Wikipédia et non pas celui de Wikivoyage qui le champion toutes catégories de la géolocalisation de centaines de POI (Points of interest) et d'itinéraires surlignés sur une seule carte interactive. Reprenant tes deux exemples : le premier possède un modèle Géolocalisation/Liège ; il faut donc créer un modèle similaire pour le second que je viens de faire sous le nom de Géolocalisation/Liège (grand ring). Tu peux créer ce genre de modèle à partir de n'importe quelle carte présente sur Commons. La syntaxe est « Modèle:Géolocalisation/Nom de l'article sur Wikipédia ». Si tu veux géolocaliser plusieurs points sur ta carte, tu peux lire l'aide sur les cartes complétées ainsi que l'aide sur la liste des modèles de points pour personnaliser les POI. Cordialement et bonne continuation sur Wikimédia. --Omondi (talk) 16:26, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Merci pour ta réponse ainsi que pour tes explication et la création de Géolocalisation/Liège (grand ring) que je me suis empressé d'utiliser, cependant je crois qu'il y a une erreur au niveau de centre de la carte qui se trouve dans la banlieue près de Beyne-Heusay et donc quand par exemple j'essaie de localiser la Stade de Rocourt, le point pour le localiser se trouve au dessus de la carte.--Zergori (talk) 00:56, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Zergori : voilà qui devrait être corrigé. --Omondi (talk) 06:42, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Carte montrant la couleur politique des bourgmestres bruxellois
editBonjour Omondi, Il me semble qu'il y a une inversion entre Auderghem et Watermael-Boitsfort sur la carte File:Bourgmestre-Evere-2012.png. En effet, je vois Auderghem en vert et Watermael-Boitsfort en amarante. C'est l'inverse : Auderghem est dirigée par Didier Gosuin (ou son remplaçant), DéFI, et Watermael-Boitsfort par Olivier Deleuze, Ecolo. --Delsaut (talk) 23:18, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delsaut : bonjour et bien vu. Ce devait être la journée mondiale des daltoniens lorsque j'ai créé ce fichier
. J'ai corrigé et versé une nouvelle version. Cordialement --Omondi (talk) 10:08, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2017 is open!
edit
You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2017 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in R2.
Dear Omondi,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2017 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the twelfth 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 (2017) 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. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top 2 from each sub-category.
In the final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2017.
Round 2 will end on 22 July 2018, 23:59 UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 11:33, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
Please be more careful in future with your image sources because you provided the wrong url for this image, so the FlickreviewR bot could not find it, which meant human volunteers had to do a manual review. You uploaded it in a low resolution size instead of the best resolution which on Flickr is known as the "original". You can avoid such problems in future by using the flickr2commons upload tool and it save everyone time and frustration. I found the proper file, upload the highest resolution version and asked the bot to re-review it, which it has done and given a good review. All is now well but please take a bit more care. Thanks Ww2censor (talk) 10:50, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

| This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Sault banner.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. 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. 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! |

 Bonsoir!
Merci d'avoir déposé des fichiers sur le serveur. Saviez-vous que le format de fichier SVG offre plusieurs avantages ? Évolutivité, absences de pixellisation, bonne maniabilité, traduction des textes facilitée, etc. Aujourd'hui, de nombreux nouveaux programmes offrent la possibilité d'exporter au format SVG, mais le résultat n'est pas toujours satisfaisant.
