Nice pictures Sven... but the watermarks are really distracting. Do you have versions without the watermarks, or shall I remove them for you? See Commons:Watermarks#Website_addresses for more info. Azoreg (talk) 18:00, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Wikimedia Commons has a specific scope
edit
Thank you for your contributions. Your image or other content was recently deleted, or will soon be deleted, in accordance with our process and policies, because it was not, or is not, within our scope. Please review our project scope, but in short, Commons is targeted at media files including photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text and video clips. Wikimedia Commons does not contain text articles like encyclopedia articles, textbooks, news, word definitions and such. Each of these other kinds of content have their own projects: Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary and Wikiquote.
If the content seems to fit the scope of one of those other projects, please consider contributing it there. If you think that the deletion was in error because the contribution really was in scope, you can appeal it at Commons:Undeletion requests, giving a reason why it fits our scope to help others evaluate the matter. Thank you for your understanding. Herby talk thyme 06:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images
edit
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.CategorizationBot (talk) 13:57, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

- Hi, thanks for the hint, I will do my best to categorize each of them. But I encounter a problem using the image gallery. The error message says:
- A database error has occurred Query: SELECT cl_to as cat FROM categorylinks LEFT JOIN u_daniel_cache.commonswiki_nontopics ON namespace = 14 AND title = cl_to where cl_from = 16295405 AND id IS NULL Function: getCategories Error: 1146 Table 'u_daniel_cache.commonswiki_nontopics' doesn't exist (sql-s4)
- This error message should be forwarded to the technical staff of Wikipedia.
- I will try to find a comprehensive list of categories, and add the right ones.
- Hi Sven, hast Du eigentlich in Deinen Einstellungen Deutsch als Sprache der Benutzeroberfläche angegeben? Dann werden die meisten Benachrichtigungen auch auf Deutsch angezeigt. Nur so als Tipp.
- Die Galerie hat seit einigen Tagen ein technisches Problem, es wird schon daran gearbeitet (zwischenzeitlich ging sie bei mir wieder). --Schwäbin (talk) 16:49, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
- Ja, klar, ich als Berliner habe "Deutsch" als Sprache gewählt, Schwäbin. :-) Ich bekomme die Mitteilungen ja auch in deutsch. Aber selbst auf Englisch ist es kein Problem für mich.
- Dann ist's ja gut. Ich war nur nicht sicher, weil Du so englisch dahergeredet hast ;-) --Schwäbin (talk) 19:30, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Sven.Littkowski.Book.Publications.2of3.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Sven.Littkowski.Book.Publications.2of3.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |
