Typo on File:East Prussia 1923-1939.svg (Fee City of Danzig)

I think there is a typo in the caption box on the map showing East Prussia from 1923-1939 that you uploaded on May 19, 2017. The key at the top left says "Fee City of Danzig". Shouldn't it be "Free City of Danzig"? --Workman (talk) 16:37, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:John Crome memorial.jpg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:John Crome memorial.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!

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Map of Norwich 1781.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.

Hello Amitchell125, the following content you uploaded violates one or more of our policies and therefore has been or will soon be deleted:

File:John Crome memorial.jpg

The Wikimedia Commons (this website) only hosts media files with a realistic educational purpose and that can be used for any purpose, including:

• use in any work, regardless of content
• creation of derivative works
• commercial use
• free distribution

See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.

Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.

Image without license

File:Image of Julian of Norwich (St. Julian's Church, Norwich).jpg

---

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? 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. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Túrelio (talk) 13:32, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Amitchell125, your recent edit doesn't really help, as the source-site is also (C) ... and doesn't provide a specific permission for the poster-image. If this poster is really from 1922, it might well be in the PD. However, a rationale and evidence needs to be provided for that. Currently, I see no evidence for your chosen CC license. --Túrelio (talk) 14:28, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the message, the link provided on the page—https://archive.org/details/Flight_International_Magazine_1922-06-22-pdf/page/n1/mode/2up —shows the same image appearing in Flight in 1922, the year of the pageant, so I can't see why it's not public domain. Can you help me by explaining what "rationale and evidence" I need to provide, or would it just be easier to upload the image on the English Wikipedia? Amitchell125 (talk) 16:23, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

"Rationale" means per which copyright rule/law exactly it is (or should be) in the PD. Today, this usually requires the author to be dead since >70 years. However, here we seem even to have no author. Is the cited Flight a US magazine? If yes, then we could use {{PD-US-expired}}. If it was first published in the UK AND really no author is known, we can use {{PD-UK-unknown}}. --Túrelio (talk) 20:21, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, I've used the UK tag, as the poster clearly originated from Britain. Amitchell125 (talk) 05:45, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

File tagging File:Borys Lyatoshynsky.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Borys Lyatoshynsky.png. 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). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you.

File:Eunice Foote's signature.png

 

Pay attention to licensing

Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. File:Eunice Foote's signature.png seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file. If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

Please do not apply Creative Commons licenses to public domain images. Photographs or works published before 1927 in the United States are in the public domain, and nobody can claim copyright or require attribution. I also fixed the license on File:Mrs. J. B. Henderson, née Mary Foote.png, which was also identified as the wrong person. ----Animalparty (talk) 06:25, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

"Undated maps of..."

Hi, I just noticed that you created categories that are named "Undated 1620s maps of Ukraine" and the like, just last week. There are several issues I have with that: First, "Undated 1620s maps..." is a contradiction: They ARE dated, in this case with a time of "1620s". You are creating a superfluous category, because they have already been fine in "1620s maps..." before. If the uploader isn't giving the publishing date, it is highly unlikely that it can be found out later, especially in the case of 400 year old maps. As a side note, category-keys can even be used to sort maps chronologically within the same category, please try that out!
Second, the categories I have already found, are filled with a single file. We are using categories in Commons to group similar maps together, in this case maps from a similar period in time of the same region. Separating them into single-file categories runs counter to that idea of grouping.
Thirdly, especially with pre-industrial publications, the plates were often republished in later years. Just today I found this piece, which was published around 1715 and then again in 1726 and 1745. That is an extreme case, but many maps were in publication for a decade or longer unless there has been a major change in borders. That is another reason why it is unnecessary to categorize too finely.
Please don't take this as a personal critique - I have seen others doing similar things, and I have recently been working to correct things in that regard, trying to move single-file categories back into actual group-categories. --Enyavar (talk) 23:53, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

File:The Early Muslim Conquests 630s to 820s.svg

Hi! There are some errors in the map File:The Early Muslim Conquests 630s to 820s.svg: 'TRIPLOI' should be 'TRIPOLI' (or rather, 'TRIPOLITANIA'), 'CYRUS' should be 'CYPRUS', 'IBERIA' is placed far too much to the east (it should be over modern central/western Georgia), there appears to be a piece of Caspian coastline missing below Baku, 'TABARISTAN' should be directly south of the Caspian Sea, 'FERHANA' should be 'FERGHANA'. Also, if the map represents conquests till the 820s, then Sicily and Sardinia do not belong to it (and Crete is a marginal case). The original base map (File:Arabische Eroberung 2.jpg) is also quite a bit exaggerated on the extent of Muslim control in Africa and the east (cf. File:Caliphate 740-en.svg or File:Abbasid Provinces ca 788 improved.png for more accurate boundaries). Cheers, Constantine ✍ 19:31, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for this Constantine, I've amended the map accordingly, but will contact User:Al Ameer son about Sicily, Sardinia and Crete, as well as the base map exaggerations, as he made the original request. Amitchell125 (talk) 08:45, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the swift response. I am satisfied with User:Al Ameer son judging on the remaining issues. Constantine ✍ 14:40, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

@Cplakidas: Funny enough, I wanted to hear your input on this map when Amitchell125 was drafting it but was rushed because of the FAC. This was indeed based on the older map. However, I have no issue limiting the scope of this map to circa 720 and excluding Sicily, Sardinia and Crete. My familiarity with the conquests of those islands is not very good but clearly these occurred outside the 'great conquests' that took place over the course of the first Islamic century (circa 622-720), which might be a better scope for this map. Al Ameer son (talk) 22:21, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

@Al Ameer son: Let me know what has amendments you want and I'll go ahead and do them. Amitchell125 (talk) 06:44, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. Please remove the conquests of Sicily, Sardinia and Crete and limit the scope of the map to c. 720. Al Ameer son (talk) 04:41, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

File:Letoon Temple of Apollo 5340.jpg

I have a reputation to lose as a (amateur) photographer. As I have a number of sites of my own I can claim that my pictures have been used in over 120 publications, some by the most renowned publishers in the world. I edit each of my pictures (using a calibrated monitor, taking pictures mainly in raw-format before making them jpg) before publishing them. So if someone claims "quality enhanced slightly" I check if I agree. In this case, I don't.

I have dug up the raw (NEF in Nikon-speak) original picture in my archive. I used the Nikon program Capture NX-D to turn it into a jpg, not using the Photoshop raw-conversion I often use. The result I published in the category “Temple of Apollo in Letoon”. For good measure I added pictures of the original in the Fethiye museum that I had. I edited them in Photoshop and have to admit I am not quite pleased, but that is because of the artificial light in the museum. So you can see raw material.

Now my reasons for not liking your “enhancement”. You can see I had to turn and perspective-crop the mosaic. Also, that the original picture was somewhat dusty, and the mosaic had mild, almost pastel, colours. I used mild exposure correction and some extra contrast to get to my ultimate picture, and probably some mild unsharp mask. In my pictures I strive for clarity with as much of the original impression as possible. When it rains, it rains, when sunlight is harsh I leave it like that, but for the sake of clarity I may brighten shadows somewhat.

Now to your enhancement. I claim you overdid it in saturation and contrast, as well as in sharpening. It hurts my eyes. Quality, in my mind, is deteriorated, not enhanced, and not “slightly”.

I can revert your action. But I think it is fair to suggest you do it yourself. If you are convinced your version is better, in addition please copy my edited version, name it slightly different, do your thing and publish it again, but then as your product of my picture.

The reason why I ask you this is, that as I grow older, I try and publish all of my, highly appreciated (see my talk page) pictures. I publish them as my ultimate high-resolution versions. I want to leave my pictures for the future to the best of my ability. I hope that if, after my death, someone wishes to use the pictures, they do not have to write to my heirs for permission, and can find the best edit on commons. To see other people overwrite them is an infringement of my project. I took a look at some pictures you published, for instance some of what seems to have been a recent stay in what I call Kaş and you call Antiphellus. We both took a picture of the Lycian tomb in town, you as “Antiphellus - King's Tomb.jpg” and my I as “Kaş Monument Tomb 6072.jpg. My picture is somewhat older, from before some damage at the bottom was repaired. For the rest they are quite similar. You can see your saturation is higher, your red is redder. I prefer my version, you probably yours. I found some more pictures we both took, all with that difference. So we have different perceptions, and I ask you to let my perception alone.

The Crusader States in 1135.svg translation

Hi! File:The Crusader States in 1135.svg appears to have "County of Edessa" text label untranslatable. Can you fix it? Thanks in advance! Manlleus (talk) 12:30, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Labels on File:High and low Q factor.svg

Is the 'low Q factor' label pointing to the correct part of this graph? It appears to be pointing to the intersection of the two green regions, which would suggest it's the same bandwidth but lower amplitude. Should it instead point to the low-but-broad green region (wider bandwidth)? DMacks (talk) 16:59, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Many thanks - now sorted. Amitchell125 (talk) 17:13, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick fix! DMacks (talk) 06:36, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
