With the help of a user on a London Underground forum, this device has been identifed as a "laser reflector generator" used to determine if the major work at sub-subsurface level is causing the deep level tunnels to become distorted. 195.92.40.49 12:47, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

What species is the frog?

Hi Salimfadhley

I was using your frogpicture:

And I wonderet what kind of frog it was. Do you know it? Can you give us some more informations about the place you took the photo so wee can help figuring out what kind of frog it must be?

--GunnerPoulsen 22:37, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps I can help: If the picture was taken somewhere in Europe/Britain (unfortunately no information about that!), this should be a Grass Frog or Common Frog (Rana temporaria). -- Fice 12:31, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Salimfadhley!

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.

Hi Salim,
somebody has tagged File:Frank key bring me the head of derek the dust particle.jpg as possible copyvio, whereby I became aware of it. Did you really draw this this image or did you just scan it from the book cover? As you have a lot more images related to the authors of that book on your Flickr page, may I ask, are you associated with them and do you have the rights to post these images under a free license? --Túrelio (talk) 08:35, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

The images were licensed as creative commons by the original artist, Frank Key who is a close friend of mine. These are scans of book covers which are long long out of print. He provided me with the original paper copies to scan and publish, initially so that he could use them to make a flikr gallery on his own web-page. Later we found that having CC licensed images of all the out of print covers drove up the price of the few remaining books, since people could use them for eBay auctions. Having the book covers on Commons + Flicr in a form which anybody can use is very valuable to him. Feel free to verify, the artist's web-site is [1] --Salimfadhley (talk) 11:05, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

D'oh

Somehow missed the info on Frank Key CC release of that image e.g. the earlier keep result for File:Frank key unspeakable desolation.jpg. Sorry about that. Have requested to withdraw the deletion request, but you may wish to watch that discussion. Dl2000 (talk) 03:48, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

File:Kings cross tunnel.jpg

We wanted to let you know that we've used one of your pictures in a project of ours: http://litpics.tumblr.com/post/6084591278/lit-a-daughter-of-the-forest-by-evelyn-raymond

We created a computer program to generate random pairings of sentences from public domain texts and public domain / creative commons images. Some of the pictures we've selected come from the Wikipedia Commons. All the pictures we select ourselves, but the pairings and the text are random. Of these pairings that are generated, we only post the most interesting combinations.

We welcome any feedback about our site.

Thanks for sharing your pictures,
Samantha and Patrick

File:Norman Lovett at the Hampstead Comedy Club.jpg

---

Hello Salimfadhley,

I noticed you've uploaded multiple images that differ only in size, and I thought I should draw your attention to a certain feature of our software. MediaWiki, the software which drives Commons and other projects like Wikipedia, is able to handle reducing the size of the images automatically. For example, even though File:Red Apple.jpg is a very large picture (2418 × 2192 pixel), MediaWiki can automatically generate thumbnails in all sizes (example: 50-pixel thumbnail).

You can include a resized thumbnail of any image in a Wikipedia article using [[File:Red Apple.jpg|thumb|Description here]]

For a narrower image – those in upright or portrait aspect ratio  – use [[File:Red Apple.jpg|thumb|upright|Description here]]

Thanks to this feature, you only need to upload the highest-resolution image you have available. That's why File:Norman Lovett at the Hampstead Comedy Club.jpg has been deleted, while your larger image will remain available for use and resizing. I also recommend reading the picture tutorial, you will find answer for nearly all your questions regarding use of images there. Thank you and happy uploading.

Please also retain all authorship information when reusing images.—Wuzur 15:15, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks --Salimfadhley (talk) 15:33, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Please properly use the "source" field

Hi Salimfadhley, Thank you for your contributions to Commons! It looks like a file you uploaded to Commons has an invalid entry indicated for its "Source" on File:Stuart Lee at the Kings Head.jpg. It is important that the |Source= field, which is the record of where a file came from, be accurate and as machine-readable as possible so that others can verify its license and be able to reuse the file under the correct terms. For example, sources such as "Me", "Self" or "My camera" should be replaced with the template {{Own}}; sources such as "Google", "The Internet", etc. are not considered valid and may result in deletion of the file. If you did not generate the file yourself, then you may want to revisit the file and be as specific as you can in identifying your source: ideally, this might be a stable link to the exact webpage that the image or file came from, or perhaps the title, year, and page number of the book where you found it (a link to a website in general is not usually considered specific enough, nor is simply restating the name of the author). For guidance on indicating your source please visit the page COM:SOURCE.

—Wuzur 15:27, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

It looks like this image was deleted, hence there's not much I can do to rectify it. I suspect the deletion was unwarranted given that last time I saw it, the pic was identified as my own work. --Salimfadhley (talk) 15:32, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, that was my mistake. I deleted the image as a duplicate of the older File:Stewart Lee.jpg. I haven't noticed that you are the Flickr user that uploaded the photo originally, which was then transferred to Wikimedia Commons by another user. —Wuzur 16:30, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Haley McGee.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that. The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
