Hello, The Big Bad Wolfowitz!

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:Tmthyzhn.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

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. INeverCry 18:36, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Please, help me. The File:Chaplin - Modern Times.jpg is ok? If yes, I may upload this picture from the same film? Thank you for your answer. --Regasterios (talk) 14:57, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy DRs[edit]

Hi, Speedy deletion requests are not appropriate for complex cases, such as "no notice" or "no renewal". So I converted your DRs to regular DRs. Thanks, Yann (talk) 23:09, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Reason for Deletion of File:Circuminsession Adrienne von Speyr gravestone autobiography bookcover art.jpg[edit]

Please provide a reason for your deletion of my own photograph of my own copy of this book, as I could find none listed on the Deletion log at the timestamp given

16:04, 20 February 2017 Jmabel (talk | contribs) restored page File:Girl 14.jpg (3 revisions and 1 file restored: Temporary undeletion so original uploader can recover this.) (global usage; delinker log)

on the notice you appended to my MrsKrishan talk page. Indeed using the Deletion log's "Search" function no record of any of my files ever having been deleted for any reason are listed. MrsKrishan (talk) 08:55, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE Ignore Request: researched the skeletal remains at :File:Circuminsession Adrienne von Speyr gravestone autobiography bookcover art.jpg and found this notice,

20:06, 20 February 2017 Jcb (talk | contribs) deleted page File:Circuminsession Adrienne von Speyr gravestone autobiography bookcover art.jpg (Copyright violation: No valid license. Release from the copyright holder for the book cover is required; release from a bookseller who took a photo of the cover is insufficient) (global usage; delinker log)20:06, 20 February 2017 Jcb (talk | contribs) deleted page File:Circuminsession Adrienne von Speyr gravestone autobiography bookcover art.jpg (Copyright violation: No valid license. Release from the copyright holder for the book cover is required; release from a bookseller who took a photo of the cover is insufficient) (global usage; delinker log)

and then verified in Deletion log at that timestamp and can confirm that Jcb is who I should address my request, so apologies seems some confusion over who actually deleted the file, but not over why the file was deleted.MrsKrishan (talk) 09:08, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification on my User_Talk page, will proceed to "permission" process with German/Swiss publishers (I speak German, so hopefully will not be too protracted). MrsKrishan (talk) 12:45, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User Galaron88 and Mr. Eugenio Benedetti page[edit]

Dear The Big Bad Wolfowitz, as you have correctly supposed I am the professional in charge of Mr Benedetti’s website on Wikipedia, where I am loading some material also published on his Facebook page. The reason is that all this photographic material belongs to the subject in question and the Author has personally authorized me to post it as a support to what is told on his past life and current activities. That’s why I am going to post these pictures again on this page. If the accuracy and the authenticity of that material are called into doubt once again, I will need to protect my interest and my client’s by resort to other means at my disposal, including legal action.
