Hi Sandstein, thanks for this file - a very nice addition to our articles ! Looking quickly at it, I saw a couple of mistakes, in case you wanted to upload a new version at some point:

  • "parlamentaires" should be "parlementaires";
  • fr:Luc Recordon represents Vaud, not Geneva;
  • "1. vice-président" should be "1er vice-président" ("1er" being ok too); same for "2." and "2ème".

Cheers, Schutz (talk) 23:06, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'll fix that later. Heh, long live my français fédéral... Sandstein (talk) 06:57, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh well, you would not like to hear what my German sounds like, so I am not likely to cast the first stone... Schutz (talk) 07:57, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, done. I also made another update: it seems that Markus Stadler has joined the PVL. Sandstein (talk) 18:01, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Sandstein!
Tip: Add categories to your files
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.

Cavalry cats[edit]

Hello, hello Sandstein ! The general idea was to use only pics of preserved pieces of equipement and not drawings, paintings, etc - things that can be found in the present "Horse armour" cat ( the reason why I avoided to label it as a sub-cat of "cav' equipment" in fact ). Just check out : only that kind of document in that category. What do you thing ;) ? Thib Phil (talk) 22:00, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You are the uploader of File:Matthew Scurfield (ca. 1975).jpg. Could you have a look at my request at Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard#File:Matthew_Scurfield_(ca._1975).jpg concerning theOTRS ticket , please ? Teofilo (talk) 15:53, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia LOONA (Marie-Jose van der Kolk)[edit]

Lieber Sandstein, vielen Dank für das Einstellen der beiden LOONA Fotos vom Westside / Bern. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loona Ich, Alex Sinner (Büro LOONA (Marie-Jose van der Kolk), info@loona.com) würde mich im Namen von Marie-Jose (LOONA) sehr freuen, wenn Sie so freundlich wären und uns behilflich sein würden, nämlich 2 andere Fotos von LOONA in ihrem Wikipedia einzustellen (ich würde Ihnen die 2 Fotos senden, (c) liegt bei uns, www.loona.com ) Gerne veröffentlichen wir Ihre Fotos vom Westside (waren Sie selbst dort auch vor Ort im Sommer 2009???) auf der LOONA Website www.loona.com aber für Wikipedia wünscht sich LOONA sehr gerne ein oder 2 andere Fotos... es wäre superlieb wenn Sie uns hier weiterhelfen können!!! Herzlichen Dank im Voraus!!! Beste Grüsse, Ihre Alex Sinner

Ja, ich war selbst vor Ort und habe diese Fotos gemacht. Wenn Sie andere Fotos von Frau van der Kolk zur Publikation auf Wikipedia anbieten möchten (bitte in der höchsten verfügbaren Auflösung), können Sie diese entweder selbst hochladen (s. Commons:Erste Schritte) oder an photosubmissions@wikimedia.org mailen. Im letzteren Fall müssen Sie in der E-Mail erklären, dass Sie der Urheberrechtsinhaber sind und die Bilder unter der Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0) freigeben. Dass diese Fotos aber tatsächlich verwendet werden, können wir nicht garantieren; darüber entscheiden die Autorinnen und Autoren der Artikel der einzelnen Sprachversionen. Sandstein (talk) 20:32, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vielen Dank für die ausführlichen Infos!!! Ich werde das dann mal versuchen :-) PS: Dürfen wir Ihre Fotos dann auch verwenden für die LOONA Webseite www.loona.com ??? Wenn ja würde ich mich freuen wenn Sie mir ein paar Fotos mailen können an alex@loona.com oder info@loona.com HERZLICHEN DANK im Voraus!!! LG Alexandra Sinner

Sie können alle Fotos in Category:Loona herunterladen und gemäss den dort angegebenen Lizenzbestimmungen (d.h., Angabe der Lizenz und Quelle erforderlich, Weitergabe unter derselben Lizenz) zu beliebigen Zwecken verwenden. Sandstein (talk) 15:56, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vielen Dank auch für diese Info! Habe eben gesehen, dort steht ein falsches Geburtsdatum von Frau Marie - Jose van der Kolk : Categories: Female vocalists from the Netherlands | 1973 births

1973 ist falsch: Marie-Jose van der Kolk wurde 1974 geboren, siehe auch : http://www.loona.com/Facts.html

Könnten Sie das netterweise verbessern ??? Das wäre supernett!!! Vielen Dank, LG Alex

DANKE für das berichtigen des Geb. Datums lg alex

Lieber Sandstein, ich habe nun ein offizielles LOONA Presse Foto hochgeladen : http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Loona_008.jpg (kurze Info ob so alles korrekt ist wäre nett!!! Wird das Foto (nach Freigabe etc.) dann automatisch der LOONA Wikipedia Seite (engl. / deutsch) zugefügt oder muss man das dann nach Freigabe von Wikipedia manuell machen ??? Herzlichen Dank im Voraus für Ihre Infos!!! PS: Die Fotos von Ihnen (Westside) habe ich runtergeladen und werden wir kommende Woche auf www.loona.com mit (c) Angabe von Ihnen veröffentlichen, vielen Dank nochmal !!! LG Alexandra — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex Sinner (talk • contribs)

Ja, das hochgeladene Bild ist korrekt, aber es sollte noch der Kategorie "Loona" zugeordnet werden (Category:Loona). Ich habe das nun getan. Hochgeladene Fotos müssen manuell in den verschiedenen Wikipedia-Sprachfassungen eingestellt werden. Siehe dazu de:Hilfe:Bildertutorial/4. Sie sollten beim Bearbeiten des Artikels die Hinweise unter de:Wikipedia:Interessenkonflikt beachten. Sandstein (talk) 14:11, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Who the hell do you think you are[edit]

"This text makes little sense and does not address the conduct that triggered this block" A I think you find my response does. B) I ain't repeating myself I ain't my fault that your thick and can't read further up the page. And C) when has grammer spelling and being coherent when you got the meaning a reason to turn something down. More like shit stirring and shit poking in my eyes from you. Consider yourself warned. And no I am not going away so talk to me, I will not be bullyed. And I ain't going away until you applogise and unblock me KnowIG (talk) 22:14, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This concerns your block on the English Wikipedia where I as unblock reviewer have removed your access to your talk page because you abused your talk page (en:User talk:KnowIG). I have previously removed from this page a message similar to the above ([1]) but you have reinstated it ([2]). Your message is disruptive because it contains personal attacks. I do not respond to disruptive messages and to messages that relate to another project. You have been advised to contact en:WP:BASC for a further review of your block on the English Wikipedia. If you continue to carry over your disruption from the English Wikipedia to this project, you may be blocked here as well. Sandstein (talk) 05:47, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah didums is somebody throwing their toys out of the pram cause they're being challenged? I think so. Typical admin behaviour and as I said I'm not going to stop untill you talk properly and behave yourself. And no you've already started dialouge so going around banning people because I don't like is exactly the type of admin person you are. A pathetic one who drives users away from wikipedia. So man up stop acting like a dick and behave yourself and talk to me. I am not stopping so unblock me. I won't be here if you weren't so pathetic, it's my talk page and I will do as i like. If you want to go round decline unblocks for LAME reasons then don't bloody moan at the reaction. This reaction is exactly what it deserved as you cannot go around telling me what I can and cannot do on my talk page.
  • No admins should post winding up/poking/point or sarcastic comments.
  • no admin should keep moving the goal posts (another favourite) and not to keep pushing the issue.
  • Other than that any sensible constructive comment will be accepted and or challenged depending on what was said and the ignoring of the evidene or swatting it away with a tedious answer of you haven't said sorry havent' addressed the block or you don't understand (exuse me you don't know me so don't talk for me) etc is not allowed

Oh look you broke 2 of KIG's admin behaviour rules. What have you got to say for yourself. KnowIG (talk)

You are indefinitely blocked. See your user talk page for an explanation. Sandstein (talk) 09:49, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's not hard to talk to someone I suggest you talk and reason with them instead of being antagonistic. Even if it means talking on here.

Alela Diane Wiki Image[edit]

Hi there,

I manage social and digital media for Alela Diane -- it looks like you posted the current photo of Alela that's on her Wikipedia page. She's told me that she really dislikes the photo and that it's out of date -- I'm trying to upload a new photo, but have heretofore been unsuccessful. Would you be interested in helping me get a new image up? I have the file on my harddrive and uploaded into Wiki Commons, but now cannot even find it in the commons...

Thanks for posting an image a few years ago, and thanks in advance for any help you can offer us. Alela and I both appreciate it!

Valentine Freeman valentine.freeman@acehotel.com

Hi. All images of Alela Diane should be accessible through Category:Alela Diane. If the image you seek is not there, you should create a user account via Special:UserLogin/signup. This will allow you to then upload the new file through Special:UploadWizard. Sandstein (talk) 06:18, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Utterly Butterly wingwalkers?[edit]

Please help me. Why don't the Utterly Butterly and Crunchie aircraft (1996 images) belong in Category:AeroSuperBatics Ltd ? Do they need their own cats? --Hroðulf (talk) 12:05, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that File:Antonov, City of Derry Air Show, May 1996 (01).jpg is not a plane of AeroSuperBatics Ltd, but some other Utterly Butterly advertising airplane. It's a closed-cockpit Antonov biplane with no wingwalking installations on the wing. Compare with File:Wing walking on a Boeing Stearman, Waddington - geograph.org.uk - 1139090.jpg, which shows the Boing Stearman biplane used by AeroSuperBatics. Sandstein (talk) 12:07, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. This looks interesting - it is a rumour that HA-MEP travelled to airshows alongside the Stearmans http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1264779/ --Hroðulf (talk) 12:19, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IQWIGundCo.pdf[edit]

today you deleted IQWIGundCo.pdf, arguing that it is not in use in any project. yet, there are a couple of links directing towards this file, from inside de.wikipedia as well as from the public (blogs etc). thus the reasoning leading to the deletion is faulty. could you please restore this file again? thanks--TobiasKlaus (talk) 17:30, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you deleting this file without any discussion? I restored it, since your deletion can be considered disruptive. The file is widely cited on de.wikipedia.org using direct links and even the German magazine "Der Spiegel" has printed an URL to another version of this document today. We can assume that there is a certain public interest, from Wikipedia users and other internet users as well. Thank you, --Polarlys (talk) 17:54, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Questions re: image[edit]

File:Richard Tucker Ricardo.gif I see that it has no source and is attributed to Decca/Polygram Klassik. Today I uploaded File:Richard Tucker Rigoletto Metropolitan Opera 1971.JPG, and though the other image is quite small, it appears to have the signature of the Met photographer, Louis Milanconi, as the one that is sourced to the Met. The 1971 image never had any copyright marks, as you can see from the non cropped image. In short, I think this is a photo from the Metropolitan Opera, but the copyright status and dating are unknown; am just not certain where to go from here with what I believe. Thanks, We hope (talk) 03:50, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Purge d'historique[edit]

Salut !

Je n'ai pas trouvé la page pour faire cette demande, alors je le demande à un administrateur :

Je voudrais que tu purges l'historique (que tu supprimes des lignes de l'historique) de cette page. Les lignes 29 juin 2012 à 19:00‎, 7 juillet 2012 à 15:04‎ et 7 juillet 2012 à 17:58‎.

Merci. --Orikrin1998 18:13, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notifying you of an image removal under the DMCA[edit]

An image that you uploaded to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Claes_Oldenburg,_Balancing_Tools.jpg was removed based on the receipt of a takedown notice made pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 512 (the “DMCA”). The Wikimedia Foundation (“WMF”) takes alleged copyright infringement very seriously and carefully examines each takedown notice received and the image in question for compliance with U.S. copyright law. This image was one of 59 photographs included in a DMCA takedown notice received by WMF of various publicly-installed sculptures around the world created by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen.

Some of these sculptures are located in countries that recognize “freedom of panorama” for sculptures, while others are not. Currently, U.S. copyright law does not recognize freedom of panorama for works of art, such as sculptures, and thus the copyright holder of a sculpture has the right to exclude others from publishing images of that sculpture, so long as it still enjoys copyright protection. While it is true that some of the sculptures in question here are located in countries whose copyright regime conflicts with the U.S’s regime, current U.S. conflict of law principles indicate that U.S. copyright law would apply in evaluating the scope of a copyright holder’s rights.

WMF strongly supports a change in U.S. copyright law that would extend freedom of panorama to artwork so that more people can experience beautiful and thought-provoking works of art that they would not otherwise be able to enjoy. However, WMF is a U.S.-based organization that must comply with U.S. laws as they presently exist, including U.S. copyright law, conflict of law principles, and the DMCA.

What can you do?[edit]

If you feel that this particular image does not infringe the alleged copyright holder’s rights, you can contest the takedown notice by submitting a “counter-notice” to us. Before doing so, you should understand your legal position and you may wish to consult with an attorney. If you submit a counter-notice, the alleged copyright holder can stop us from restoring the content by suing you. Please note that WMF will not be a party to any legal action that arises from you sending a counter-notice, and that WMF is unable to provide you with legal advice.

More information on DMCA compliance may also be found at:

Filing a Counter-Notice[edit]

If you choose to submit a counter-notice, you must send a letter to legal@wikimedia.org asking WMF to restore this image. The letter must comply with DMCA standards and must contain the following:

  • A link to where the content was before we took it down;
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe the content was taken down mistakenly;
  • Your name, address, and phone number;
  • If your address is in the United States, a statement that says “I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in the district where my address is located, and I will accept service of process from the person who complained about the content I posted”; or if your address is outside the United States, a statement that says “I agree to accept service of process in any jurisdiction where I can be found”; and finally,
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Pursuant to the DMCA, WMF must inform the alleged copyright holder that you sent us a counter-notice and give the alleged copyright holder a copy of the counter-notice. We will restore this image within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days, provided that the alleged copyright holder does not give notice of suit to restrain re-posting of the material.

File:Macaca nigra self-portrait.jpg[edit]

The problem with your line of argument is that it ignores the fact the issue that COM:ART stuff is created with the intent of reproducing the original image. In this case the there was no intent to recreate the original RAW file in particular there is an argument to be made that there was enough creativity involved in the rotation and the cropping to qualify for copyright.Geni (talk) 18:29, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The monkey's shot an unprocessed RAW file. It would have been in a different aspect ratio to the final image (634*894 isn't consistent with any standard digital camera ratio I'm aware of). So ja creativity. The photographer also claims to have done some cloning but I have no idea of what.Geni (talk) 09:21, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open[edit]

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

delete warning for 'File:WW Einstellgeraet 69.jpg'[edit]

Hallo Sandstein, für ein hochgeladenes Bild habe ich eine Delete Warning erhalten. Bisher hatte ich noch kein Problem mit Bildern, da ich bisher immer eigene Produktionen hochgeladen habe. Dieses eine Bild stammt von Kartsen Naumann (kein User, kein Mitglied, 'kein Interesse an dem ganzen Zirkus' (sorry, seine Worte)), der es mir aber vollumfänglich für meinen Wikipedia-Artikel 'Weitwinkeleinstellgerät' zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Das Gerät hat er längst verkauft und das Bild gelöscht (ich hatte es zuvor aus der Auktion gesaugt), mir aber auf Anfrage über das Ebay-Kommunikationssystem schriftlich mitgeteilt, daß er an dem Bild kein Interesse mehr hat und mir die Nutzung voll überträgt - auch und gerade für diesen Artikel. Diese Kommunikation habe ich als Screenshot.jpg mit eingeschickt, den author auf own gesetzt, aber zumindest eine attribution habe ich auch angegeben. War wohl falsch... Meine Güte, warum wird das jetzt nicht akzeptiert? Herr Naumann wird ganz sicher keine Email an Wikimedia senden und sich vorher auch noch fachjuristisch mit den Lizenzvariationen auseinander setzen und sich womöglich beraten lassen. Er ist ganz einfach einverstanden. Ich selbst bin langsam auch überfordert, da wohl nur englischsprechende Nationen in den Genuß kommen, diese Fach-Anweisungen zur Lizenz-Korrektur auch in ihrer Landessprache zu bekommen. Gruß Frank Gosebruch (talk) 12:02, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FLIEGER·FLAB·MUSEUM[edit]

«Unklar was der Zweck des Hinweises ist, Informationen über das Museum und seinen Namen findet man im Artikel»

Klarer als durch meine Begründung kann es wohl nicht sein. Bei komplett gross geschriebenen Begriffen wird oft im Artikel ein Hinweis gegeben, dieser fehlt «drüben». Und ich meinte (bisher) der Zweck hier wie bei WP sei, möglichst komplette Informationen zu geben. Leider gibt es hier wie drüben die «unverbesserlichen Besserwisser». Was hätte dieser Satz denn gestört? Dreimal nichts! Er störte während vier Jahren niemanden. Produktiv und motivierend sind solche Korrekturen jedenfalls nicht. --Хрюша ?? 08:50, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ich bin der Meinung, dass Commons nicht der richtige Ort für Informationen und Diskussionen über Details zum Thema wie die Schreibweise des Namens ist. Wir sind für Bilder da, Informationen findet man bei Wikipedia. Sandstein (talk) 10:23, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Dir ist aber schon bekannt (rhetorische Frage, ich kenne deinen Status), dass Commons nicht nur für de:WP da ist und es hier der deutschen Sprache mächtige gibt, die für andere Sprachen arbeiten? Warum wird denn in keinem der drei Artikel im Einführungstext die richtige Schreibung verwendet? Dass es im Lemma nicht geht, weiss ich. Aber mit Leuten wie dir argumentieren zu wollen, heisst gegen Windmühlen anzugehen. Ich halte übrigens essentielle Informationen in einer Kategorie, die bilderübergreifend wirken, für wichtig und richtig und werde diese wie bisher auch weiterhin eintragen. --Хрюша ?? 10:42, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wenn es die von Dir bevorzugte Schreibweise in den Wikipedia-Artikeln keinen Konsens gefunden hat, halte ich es für verfehlt, diese Schreibweise in anderen Projekten durchsetzen zu wollen. Wir sollten auf Konsistenz achten. Sandstein (talk) 15:06, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Woher hast du denn diese Erkenntnis? Es war so nie eingetragen, ist aber in Gottes Namen die offizielle Schreibweise. Aber lass gut sein, ich habe mir längst abgewöhnt, mich in der WP wegen so was unnötig zu engagieren. --Хрюша ?? 15:40, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Violating Copyright![edit]

The monkey selfie is violating copyright, the authors do not want for it to be used. It is unfair that you used it. I would remove it.

This has been discussed in detail in various community fora, and the Wikimedia Foundation has maintained through their legal counsel that they consider that the photograph at issue is in the legal domain. I can't and won't overrule the Foundation, and I agree with their view, and will therefore take no action. Sandstein (talk) 17:32, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccuracy in the flag of NATO[edit]

The inaccuracy is at the corners of the star. Try comparing:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/3/37/20151130233805!Flag_of_NATO.svg
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/37/Flag_of_NATO.svg
It's a fairly large inaccuracy as the corners do not meet to a point. I don't know how the vector I found was formed, but the inaccurate file was formed from a small raster graphics. Thanks a lot.

So quick question regarding the keep decision on this. Wouldn't a driver's license photo fall under the Florida Department of Transportation? And if so wouldn't it be subject to copyright per {{PD-FLGov}}? Florida DoT is listed under the "Agencies permitted to claim copyright" section of that template. It definitely falls under a public record so that isn't a problem. But if it is DoT then the image would be copyrightable. Or am I reading that wrong? Drivers licenses in Florida are issued under the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Is that a child agency of the DoT? Or is it is own agency? --Majora (talk) 21:36, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File renaming für File:Höhengaststätte(.......)[edit]

Hallo, ich habe mir diese Seite angeschaut, bin aber nicht recht schlau geworden, was man als nicht-Admin zu tun hätte. Es gibt da nämlich:

Schon File:Höhengaststätte Katharinenlinde, Esslingen, Aussichtsturm vom Schwäbischen Albverein, 1957 errichtet.jpg wäre ja recht lang. Kannst Du eine Umbenennung in die Wege leiten?

Thanks for uploading File:Pierre Alechinsky (1965) by Erling Mandelmann.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:Pierre Alechinsky (1965) by Erling Mandelmann.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

De-adminship warning[edit]

This talk page in other languages:

Dear {{subst:PAGENAME}}. I am writing to inform you that you are in danger of losing your adminship on Commons because of inactivity.

If you want to keep your adminship, you need both to sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section within 30 days of today's date, and also to make at least five further admin actions in the following six months. Anyone who does not do so will automatically lose administrator rights.

You can read the de-admin policy at Commons:Administrators/De-adminship.

Thank you--B dash (talk) 08:07, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Town of Weslake[edit]

Greetings, Sandstein. A query has arisen regarding a file you uploaded, which has been used in a by-country Gallery without the photo's location being verified. Your comment is invited on File talk:Town of Weslake manhole.jpg#Undetermined location. -- Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 09:15, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

De-adminship[edit]

Hi Sandstein — in line with the above de-adminship warning, I'd like to let you know that the admin inactivity run for August-September 2017 has now finished. As you had failed to indicate willingness to retain your admin privileges or to perform the required number of admin actions, I submitted a request on Meta-Wiki to have your adminship revoked as required by our inactivity policy.

A Wikimedia steward has already attended to this request, and you have since been added to the autopatrolled user group as you are a trusted and experienced member of the Commons community. I'd like to use this opportunity to thank you for the many years of your service to Commons; while it is disappointing that you're no longer as active as you used to be, I hope you will come back to us one day and will continue contributing to the project. Of course, please do feel free to re-apply for adminship when this happens :-) Thanks again! odder (talk) 22:10, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Schreibfehler im "file name" von Maler Alexander Kircher[edit]

Hallo Sandstein, es ist schon etwas her das Du den "File:Eskadermanöver in Kiel (Alexander Kirchner, 1890).jpg" eingestelt hast. - Da ist Dir ein Schreibfehler unterlaufen, dem ich in der Vergangenheit leider schon oft begegnet bin und das natürlich häufig auch außerhalb von Wikipedia. - Bei Kirchner (mit n) handelt es sich um den Impressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner und bei Alexander Kircher (ohne n - und den hattest Du ja gemeint) um den Marine- und Landschaftsmaler. - Vielleicht kannst Du diesen Schreibfehler jetzt im nachhinein verbessern. -- Buonasera (talk) 14:40, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2017 is open![edit]

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2017 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in R2.

Dear Sandstein,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2017 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the twelfth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2017) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top 2 from each sub-category.

In the final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2017.

Round 2 will end on 22 July 2018, 23:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 11:33, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Boy with rainbow-colored hair.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.

(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.

Permission to use an image for editorial purposes[edit]

Sir

I would like permission to use your image of the Liebefeld-Steinholzli public school. For my our protection I need a written permission from you. I can explain to you how it would used. There is a little urgency to this request.

If you are interested please feel free to write to me at boanthropy1@gmail.com Thank you, Francois Duckett — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.129.117.16 (talk) 17:25, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Photo Removal of girl doing harvesting in Yadav title wikipedia page[edit]

Good Evening, Please remove the girl photo doing harvesting on Yadav title Wikipedia page. It makes our whole caste look like same and having the same occupation. Many higher caste people tease us by saying that all Yadav are poor people. It really hearts our sentiments and makes us feel like inferior people. Since in this modern time many of our Yadav community people are trying hard and working hard to remove our tag of backward class people. Now we are in every field like academic, sport, politics, literature, cinema, etc. This photo pulls us down and works as an example for other caste people to make us feel inferior. So it's a humble request to you please remove the photo. I have attached the link to the photo at the bottom. Hoping you will feel our emotions and bring down this photo. RakeshYadav741 (talk) 14:55, 1 April 2021 (UTC) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yadav#/media/File:Ahir_woman.jpg Thanking you.RakeshYadav741 (talk) 14:55, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RakeshYadav741, sorry, but this file is in use by multiple Wikipedia projects. As such, as we cannot remove it as long as it remains in use. Moreover, Wikimedia Commons is not censored because of anybody's sensibilities, so we won't remove images on such grounds. Sandstein (talk) 16:10, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback[edit]

Hello. Thanks for your anti-vandalism work here! Do you want rollback to make things easier? --Minoraxtalk 13:33, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Minorax, sure, thanks. Sandstein (talk) 14:13, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Commons:Rollback. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. Minoraxtalk 14:31, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
