  • You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads.
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~.
  • To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg.

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)[edit]

Please use SVG
Thank you for uploading some images! Did you know that Wikimedia Commons recommends the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format for certain types of images? Scalable Vector Graphics are designed to look appropriate at any scale, and SVG images are easier to modify and translate, helping Wikimedia to distribute knowledge to all of the world. A lot of modern programs support SVG export. If you encountered problems or have questions, don't hesitate to ask me, a member of the Graphic Lab, or the Graphics village pump. Uploading images in SVG format isn't mandatory, but it would help. (To avoid any misunderstandings, please don't just put raster images into an SVG container as embedded raster.) Thanks, and happy editing!

Suggested rename[edit]

Hi, I am here to suggest to rename File:Logo of Changsha Metro Line 4.png to File:长沙地铁4号线线标.png to sync with the other 2 files (File:长沙地铁1号线线标.jpg & File:长沙地铁2号线线标.jpg) 大诺史 (talk) 05:45, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, if you are able to upload an svg version of the files named above, it will be way better as the current png/jpg are quite blur. :) 大诺史 (talk) 05:47, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@大诺史: thank you for your suggestion and I have requested to rename, regarding SVG, sorry to say that I could not get any SVG version of it.--Hamish (talk) 10:55, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reg. Copyright permission[edit]

Hi Hamish, I have requested the copyright holder of this media work you flagged, to send a permission letter to OTRS. Thanks for the check! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lipimehta (talk • contribs) 13:32, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lipimehta: Thank you for your notice and contribution, once OTRS checked that permission, the flag will be removed.--Hamish (talk) 14:58, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrol given[edit]

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. 1989 (talk) 17:35, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hamish, the copyright holder of media work you flagged has already sent a permission letter to OTRS. I had uploaded the photo on his behalf. Template:Abhaysingh1978 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhaysingh1978 (talk • contribs) 07:18, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Abhaysingh1978: Thank you. I've tagged as OTRS received. --Hamish (talk) 15:31, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File deletion[edit]

Hello Hamish, you marked my file https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mystykal_Kut.png for speedy deletion, i uploaded this file for a wiki page i'm creating (it's the France champion DJ). Is it possible to undo that? Sorry if i did anything wrong, i'm new here. Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stloli (talk • contribs) 15:55, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Stloli: Thanks for the attention, your file is involved in both copyright and quick deletion problems, if I undo the current request, there should be another request to ask you to send permission to OTRS for license review. --Hamish (talk) 15:59, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Hamish: i took that picture, how can i fix this copyright problem? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stloli (talk • contribs) 16:06, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Stloli: If you indeed took the picture, I suggest you uploading the original file.--Hamish (talk) 16:10, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:The story of the Ugelstad beads.jpg[edit]

Hello, Hamish. What is happening with this file? Did you revert the moving of the file because the OTRS-"stamp" is not yet in place? If so, it is OK with me. The copyright clearance mail has been forwarded to permissions-no, so hopefully it will not take long. If there is another reason: Please inform me. A strange thing: By reverting your edit, the file that now comes up, is the one I uploaded first (with the info on José Carrera), not the current version. Can you change that? (Yes, I have cleared the cache). Another thing: Is the File:The story of the Ugelstad beads.jpg now on your watchlist, or will I have to inform you when the OTRS permission is OK? Kjersti L. 08:20, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

@Kjersti Lie: Yes, since OTRS has not confirmed your permission, there is a copyright issue and I cannot move it. As above, I declined your request and please file another request to do the renaming. For your another question, I am sorry that I don't quite understand, would you explain it? --Hamish (talk) 09:00, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now it is I who do not understand. What do ou mean by "my another question"? Is it this: «A strange thing: By reverting your edit, the file that now comes up, is the one I uploaded first (with the info on José Carrera), not the current version. Can you change that?» If so: When you look at the Wikimedia Commons file now you will see that I uploaded a new version of the timeline this morning, without the (not confirmed) information on José Carrera. The link should go to the CURRENT version, not the first version. Can you fix that, or is that also because of the "copyright issue"? Kjersti L. 09:06, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Yes, that is. I think I know what you meant. Let me confirm, you can only see this version, which you use the first version to refer to. If yes, I'm telling you that it shows this version, which you use CURRENT version to refer to. --Hamish (talk) 09:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your answer. We seem to have som language problems here, – AND the two links you included in your text, are identical. None of them show the current version. Both show the first version with José Carrera. On my MAC, at least.Kjersti L. 10:17, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Hooray! Now everything seems to be OK! The link leads to the current version of the file! Kjersti L. 12:53, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
@Kjersti Lie: Emmm...Obviously they don't, my first link shows a photo between 1983/84 and 1986/87, but the second one doesn't. And I consider I know what you meant, I'm sure that it must be the cache error or something like that. --Hamish (talk) 15:52, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Asian drongo"[edit]

I requested to rename both these files of Fork-tailed Drongo-cuckoo (Surniculus dicruroides):

because the common name "Asian Drongo-cuckoo" is misleading, being usually used also for another species, the Square-tailed drongo-cuckoo (Surniculus lugubris) (criterion 3) Could you explain me why you considered the request not compling with renaming guidelines? --Esculapio (talk) 17:11, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Esculapio: The description in File:Asian_Drongo_Cuckoo.jpg says it is also known the Asian Drongo-cuckoo, and you also says it is its nickname, thus it is identified correctly, just like some people are given the same first name and we call them that, but they are actually different from each other, --Hamish (talk) 04:28, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The common name "Asian dongo" is ambiguous as it could refer to 2 different species; the ambiguity of the name involve that, for example, the two above mentioned files, both referring to Surniculus dicruroides, were used in wikidata page referring to Surniculus lugubris. I invite you to reconsider the request of renaming (criterion 2 - change from a meaningless or ambiguous name to a name that describes what the image particularly displays). --Esculapio (talk) 06:49, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Esculapio: I accept your invitation and renaming request. Kindly tell me if there is anything I could help. :) --Hamish (talk) 09:49, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
