Image Tagging Image:Image-IPod_5G,_nano_2G,_shuffle_2G.png[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Image-IPod_5G,_nano_2G,_shuffle_2G.png. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Please tag your images[edit]
Thank you for providing images to the Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on the 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 Wikipedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best 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.

Can you email a copy of the circle slash graphic with transparent background to funzo@mail.com, for editing in photoshop.
Please delete this message after reading, thanks.
I just saw you did this one, and would like to know if you can make another with the text No drugs in it. And I'd like to know if you can do a vectorize one of this. With and without text and both with transparent background. I want to use them at Wiki-pt. If you can't, there is no problem. thanks for your conttribution. best regards. Mizunoryu 大熊猫❤小熊猫 (talk) 17:50, 28 October 2008 (UTC) Actually I m not able =(. I tried Inkscape, Gimp but I am not able to even vectorise a simple image. I tried so hard just to get angry --'. That's why I'm asking you. All I can do here is ask permissions =/. Take your time! I'm not in a hurry. Thanks for the attention. Mizunoryu 大熊猫❤小熊猫 (talk) 12:54, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
you mention that you have an inkscape version of this image with a seperate bar and circle - my I have a copy please I plan to use it, at a hackspace to create a "Please Hack/Repair this" label, but also using your red strike out version i.e. "please DO NOT Hack/Repair this" label. If I manage to create something appropriate should I mail you a copy?

WTF?[edit]
What are you doing to my map? Please tell me where you found this standard where they are named "x House elections"? If there was a problem, it might just be better to let me know rather than stealing my image and then uploading it yourself. ——Mr. Matté — 'pedia talk 22:46, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- I don't see anything about a standard at the link provided. ——Mr. Matté — 'pedia talk 01:03, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Colors for 111th US Senate composition.svg[edit]
Could you please change the Ind+Dem color for File:111th US Senate composition.svg? It is currently striped grey and blue, but because of the fact that the states are small and that the image is displayed at a small size, the stripes are not only unclear, but break up the shapes of the two states (Vermont and Connecticut). The older map used green, which makes a certain amount of sense since it combines blue (for Democrats) and yellow, sometimes used for independents. -Rrius (talk) 23:51, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Tip: Categorizing images[edit]
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.BotMultichillT 02:33, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed[edit]
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called SteveSims. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name SteveSims~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

File source is not properly indicated: File:110th US Congress House of Reps Current.png[edit]
This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:110th US Congress House of Reps Current.png, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:110th US Congress House of Reps Current.png]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |
