Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. 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. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed?

File tagging File:Login USENIX Newsletter feb1983.djvu

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Login USENIX Newsletter feb1983.djvu. 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.

@EugeneZelenko: , not sure what this is about... I used IA Upload to upload a USENIX newsletter from the official archive of the newsletters on archive.org where the file is clearly marked as being public domain. Not sure where the lack of permission issue crops up. Any help/clarification would be appreciated. Regards.Sohom data (talk) 15:15, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Publication is obviously not 70 years old. archive.org is unreliable source of copyrights statuses. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 18:31, 3 November 2020 (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. Abzeronow (talk) 15:51, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

timeout or storage issue with CropTool

Hi Sohom Datta, thanks for your work on the CropTool. It's good to see it still running on the new servers. At Commons_talk:CropTool we noticed some issues with larger files (or possibly many concurring crops). That it may not work with very large files isn't surprising, but it also fails on files where it previously worked, e.g. File:1165 Murten.jpg, a file that was uploaded by @Yann: , among other things, to simplify crops. As I'm not a programmer, I can't fix it myself, but from the symptoms we noticed in the discussion, it may be a storage space or timeout issue (the tool loading the file from Commons). If you have a moment and recall settings for any of these can you try to increase them? Enhancing999 (talk) 12:09, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
