Image deletion warning

Image:BlankMap-World-Subdivisions.png has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this image, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. If the file is up for deletion because it has been superseded by a superior derivative of your work, consider the notion that although the file may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new file. In all cases, please do not take the deletion request personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

File:Africa-countries-WAMZ.png

Hi Wiz9999, according to your deletion request: You added the following text to the page:

{{Delete
|reason=File superseded by a new SVG file
|subpage=
|day=14
|month=January
|year=2009
}}

Thats problematically because you provided an empty subpage, so the image is sorted to the Category:Deletion requests, but it is not listed on the log. Propably no-one will ever check the category, so the subpages entry at the log is very very important. Please follow the instruction in {{Delete}} in future, only step 3 is not required because its a request on your own upload. I saw, that you are the uploader of both files and you replaced all uses, so there is no dispute in deleting the file and i will delete it per your request - i just wanted to inform you about the incomplete deletion request. Greetings, --Martin H. (talk) 00:10, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Wiz9999!

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.

File:Treaty of Lisbon ratification.svg‎

OK, I have nothing against this change; it's just that calling it a spelling mistake didn't make any sense to me. –Tryphon^☂ 22:42, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I did not call it a spelling mistake, that was some anon. –Wiz9999 (talk) 23:13, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:BlankMap-World.png

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:BlankMap-World.png, 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!

I have no idea where it came from but i do believe it was released under GNU, ask the original uploader Vardion. --Wiz9999 (talk) 20:23, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
