from User talk:Traders 21#Do you have a better version of Image:Angellocsinatmoa.jpg?

Sorry but, its original size is really what it is now. Anyway your welcome Traders 21 (talk) 04:13, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

So, you are saying that you are the photographer, resized the image and then deleted the original version? --Bluemask (talk) 10:09, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

from User talk:Wynchard Bloom#Image:Sam Milby.jpg re Image:Sam Milby.jpg

Hello Bluemask, I Think it is already compatible. Your Welcome. Wynchard Bloom (talk) 01:18, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I am sure this is not the original resolution. If you are the photographer, please upload it. --Bluemask (talk) 01:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean, no! This is the real version, the original! Wynchard Bloom (talk) 01:33, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I Already upload its full resolution, but i also upload its duplicate, can you delete its duplicate? Traders 21 (talk) 02:38, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Angellocsinattrinoma2.jpg

from User talk:Traders 21#Image:Angellocsinattrinoma2.jpg re Image:Angellocsinattrinoma2.jpg

I Already upload its full resolution, Thanks for informing me. Thanks a lot!. Traders 21 (talk) 02:39, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

How about uploading the original (not resized) version? The original version contains the metadata that confirms that it is not from some website. --Bluemask (talk) 03:31, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Bluemask!

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:Image004JSAlano.jpg

Hi! Thanks for the much needed help. I appreciate it a lot. I just need a lot of guidance re: technicalities and stuff. On the matter of the JS Alano photo... this photograph has been in the possession of my family ever since I can remember (the picture is of my Great Grandfather - J. S. Alano - who died in 1966). I scanned the picture from a family album and posted the same on wikimedia commons. We have no idea who took the photograph which was taken around the 1950s. Thanks again! - jjarivera

Can you upload the scanned version with no enhancements like the drop shadow? --Bluemask (talk) 04:14, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

File:NB Oathtaking1.JPG

Hi again! Re: NB Oath taking pic... I own the photograph (which includes myself in the group pose). I asked somebody else to take the picture, of course, but using my own digital camera. Thanks!- jjarivera

Did you edited the photo? The meta data is missing. Can you upload the original high resolution version? If you do, nobody will doubt the copyright of the image. --Bluemask (talk) 04:15, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

File:The Great Seal of JCI Basilan.jpg

Hi once more! Re: The Great Seal of JCI Basilan... how is this a copyright violation? I am the current Secretary General and also a Past President (2004) of the organization (JCI Basilan Inc.) that owns it, and we are releasing the image into the public domain for general reference and use. The use of the JCI logo embellished with localized features has been previously approved by Junior Chamber International and Junior Chamber International Philippines as well. Thanks! - jjarivera

It is a copyright violation because the copyright holder is the organization, JCI Basilan Inc. As such, the organization will be the one who must release the image to public domain not just a member of the organization. Since the copyright is not yours to begin with, tagging the image with {{PD-self}} is not allowed. --Bluemask (talk) 04:20, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. INeverCry 01:21, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
