Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:

• 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.

Chinese translations needed

Hi! I contact you as you speak English and Chinese.

Jastrow and I are working on autotranslating {{Meta information museum}}, the meta-template we use for many museums, like {{Information北京石刻艺术博物馆}}. Could you please help us find Chinese translations for every tag name:

   * artist/maker
   * description
   * dimensions
   * credit line
   * accession number
   * location
   * source/photographer
   * references
   * other versions

"Credit line" is mainly about the mode of acquisition: what collection does it come from? Did it join the collections by gift, purchase, on loan, etc.?

Thanks for any help. Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 08:28, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your answer. "References" is used to cite scientific articles or studies where the object is described and analyzed; it is used for some specific purposes, when a whole kind of artwork is inventorized in independant publications—which is the case for Greek ceramics, see for example File:Andromeda BM E169.jpg.

So it's not exactly like "References" in wiki articles, but not exactly different too... Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 14:15, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I did the changes so that you should normally see {{Information北京石刻艺术博物馆}} in Chinese (if this is your browser default language). Thanks for all! Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 09:07, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Bencmq!

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.

We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, 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. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Flickr human review

Dear trusted user Ben,

If you have a bit of time, please try to mark some of these flickr images which need human review. That is all I ask. Thank You for any help which you can give. Its midnight here in Canada. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 07:50, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

 Done --Ben.MQ (talk) 11:37, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

• Thank you Ben. This was a one time request. Some of these pictures (of people) were uploaded by user Nehrams who is excellent at licenses and images...but it is not good if only 1 person marks them. There should be two at least. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 18:53, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Comment

Whether or not you become an Admin -- I won't jinx it by predicting anything, but we can both read the voting ;-) -- may I suggest that where there is smoke, there is fire. While looking over your contributions before voting, I just followed up on all of the contributions of

• User:Thiago Puga,
• User:Zenyu pacific, and
• User:SladeKemmet

who don't seem to understand copyright or that they cannot simply reload images that have been deleted.

Also, I think you will find User:Jameslwoodward/Commons notes for administrators useful -- comments and additions are always welcome.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 12:34, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

That is definitely helpful! Thank you for the note, cheers --Ben.MQ (talk) 12:55, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Bad Name

Dear Ben, you are correct. I was too fast, I have already asked for a speedy deletion - before I read your comment. As for the information, I sometimes (and would have with this picture) copy paste the information from files I have already uploaded, after the upload. AdMeskens (talk) 10:34, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

BU West Pictures and Fair Use

I see that my two BU West pictures have been deleted from Commons. I'd like to upload one to en.wikipedia under fair use (as the sign is outdated and the text not fully readable in my picture) and then several more in the future, from the backlog on my hard drive.

As a new file patroller, I assume you've come across other pictures that were deleted for similar reasons. Do you have any experience / tips with fair use files; if so, would you be able to guide me through the process on my first upload?

(Feel free to respond here; I will watch your talk page for a few days.)

Thanks for your work; you've made my first deletion understandable and less painful. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:22, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm sorry I seldom edit English wikipedia, and the fair use templates/file description requirements seem to be very different from my home wiki. I recommend you post at w:Wikipedia:Media copyright questions or w:Wikipedia:Help desk. Regards --Ben.MQ (talk) 04:20, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

That's alright; I'll ask there. Thanks again. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:43, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Bencmq, according to your change here: The correct name in english is Patchcable Black 20m. In German it is Patchkabel Schwarz 20m. I suggest to chance the Filename into the english one. Thanks and regards, {{subst:User:Elvaube/signatur}} (talk) 13:12, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Administrator

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades...

Bencmq, congratulations! You now have administrator rights on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard and Commons:Deletion requests), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons on irc.freenode.net. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators:#wikimedia-commons-admin.

You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading.

Please also check or add your entry to the List of administrators and the related lists by language and date it references.

Flickr human review

Dear Ben,

Congratulations on being an Admin. I know you are likely busy...and that you are not paid in this position. (since you are a volunteer here) But if you have a little time, please try to mark some images in flickr human review once in a while. Don't forget about this category. Even 8 or 9 images is beter than nothing. I can't do it by myself and as I said in your RfA, many Admins forget to mark images here once they become sys ops. I don't know why. Thank You from Canada, --Leoboudv (talk) 05:31, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

"Since it is {{PD-old}}" WTF? Yes, the uploader has put it under PD-old but that's exactly what my DR is about. The uploader himself mentions "Möbius" as photographer which most likely refers to Walter Möbius as stated in the DR. Möbius died in 1959 so why was this uploaded as PD-old? --X-Weinzar (talk) 14:54, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Those two files are in Japanese, not Chinese, and I can't read them. Anyway there seems to be no indication of a cc license. Submit for DR if unsure, just to be save. Regards--Ben.MQ (talk) 07:33, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I really don't think this barnstar is a copyright violation, this type of use of the Hadoop logo falls under fair-use and is consistent with Apache's licenses. Best, Diederik

When closing DRs, please be sure to follow links and such in the nomination. If you did, you would have seen the original image with the "Copyright 2001 by Amy L Reid" watermark that was eliminated by the uploader. I do apologize for not being clearer in my nomination, but I figured the copyright issue was obvious. Regards, howcheng {chat} 23:03, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Dear Ben,

Didn't you check the UBC wikilink I inserted in the picture or see the image's many categories? The University of British Columbia (UBC) is in Vancouver, Canada....where I'm based. The 2010 Winter Olympica was also held in Vancouver, Canada where we have full FOP for 3D art objects that are permanently installed. And this has been permanently installed on UBC campus for many years. I just now said in the picture that this object is in Vancouver, Canada because of your statement...but next time, please check the UBC (and now 'Vancouver') wikilink. UBC is in Canada, not the US. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 23:43, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

erm, just to clarify, you wish me to assist you in nominating these images on Chinese Wikipedia as featured image candidates right? --Ben.MQ (talk) 16:03, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't understand the Chinese language (zh-0) and i can't make a nomination itself. If it is possible, make a nomination on own behalf. -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 16:10, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Well, I'm not so sure about that - I have no profesional understanding about photography, so I'm a bit reluctant in doing that for you. However it is extremely easy to nominate for featured photo on zhwiki. Please just do the following:

1. Go to w:zh:Wikipedia:特色圖片評選#create, replace the <xxxx> with a name that is appropriate. You can use the Chinese name of the article that image is being used. Just copy&paste. Create one for each file.
2. Fill out the template, the parameters are in English, it should be easy to understand. For caption, use the Chinese one if available. Title and caption can be the same. Do not add the prefix 'File:' in the image parameter.
3. Should there be anything you can't understand, use English and I'll translate it for you very soon.
4. Transclude the new page here, put your nomination at the top.

Best regards --Ben.MQ (talk) 16:21, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

• All of them are used in articles the Chinese Wikipedia.
• All photos is Featured Pictures on Commons Wikimedia.

Not really. The file was deleted as copyvio because the topmost image used is All Rights Reserved according to flickr file --Ben.MQ (talk) 16:06, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

File:Wikipedia for World Heritage logo en.png

Hi there, do you still wish to delete File:Wikipedia for World Heritage logo en.png? I saw that the template on meta is not changed yet, and I have no idea what to do to fix that :/ --Ben.MQ (talk) 03:46, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

There are two possible outcomes. 1) Rename logos in Category:Wikipedia for World Heritage to follow Wikipedia for World Heritage logo xx.png naming scheme or 2) deleting it. I'd prefer a rename but I don't know how difficult it would be to pull that off. -- とある白い猫 ^ちぃ？ 21:55, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure if moving the file (with redirect behind) will affect any direct link to the image? If not I guess we can move straightway, otherwise maybe create unified redirect names... --Ben.MQ (talk) 04:59, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Move could be done with User:CommonsDelinker/commands followed by an actual image move here on commons. Images like "Wiki AL French.png" would be moved to "Wikipedia for World Heritage logo fr.png" etc. This would replace the file on all wikis. Queue seems empty so bot will be responsive to new commands. -- とある白い猫 ^ちぃ？ 06:21, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

I moved all, except the 3 Thai images because none of them are used anywhere and I'm not sure which should be used. --Ben.MQ (talk) 06:56, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Renaming global user name

Hello Ben

It's me Hoangquan hientrang. I have had my name changed to Blue Marble (What do you think about it?) and I need to renaming my global accounts. You are now a steward so I wonder whether stewards can do it. By the way, congratulations and keep on good work on Wikimedia projects. Good luck. Best regards--Quan (talk) 15:50, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Global account cannot be renamed. It will be left behind (so people will not be able to create the old name and pretend to be you). I can assist you in renaming your existing accounts on wikis without active bcrats. Let me know if you wish to do so, and all the best. (Oh you can leave a request on m:SRUC) --Bencmq (talk) 16:35, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Oh btw, you haven't created your new global account. Visit your preferences and get it ! --Bencmq (talk) 16:38, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

 Done I have created it. So can you help me rename my accounts on English and Vietnamese Wikipedia. Thanks--Quan (talk) 16:45, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

OK, I have decided to post my request on Meta. Anyway, thank you very much. Best regards--Quan (talk) 16:55, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Stewards help you in rename only on projects with no active Bureaucrats. English and Vietnamese Wikipedia surely have active bureaucrats so you need to request on their respective pages. m:Index_of_pages_where_renaming_can_be_requested will tell you where to go. Stewards can help you, for example, in renaming your account on angwiki. angwiki has no bureaucrat but you have 1 edit there. If you do not want to change it, it is fine, but nothing we can help then :) --Bencmq (talk) 17:24, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ben.MQ!

Thanks for testing and using AxUserMsg.js . This is essentially important for developers and highly appreciated. The script is now available in your preferences. This will also speed-up page loading.

Please remove the line importScript("User:Rillke/AxUserMsg.js") from your common.js before activating the ordinary gadget.

If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask me or put them here. Even if you dislike a new feature.

File tagging File:Dim Sum Dollies at Pink Dot 2011.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Dim Sum Dollies at Pink Dot 2011.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:Dim Sum Dollies at Pink Dot 2011.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
