Please stop editwarring over this. Can you both agree on the use of {{Vector version available}} or just inserting a plain text link (An SVG version of this image is Image:xxxx?)? Thanks in advance. NielsF 23:49, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Flickr pages[edit]

Hello, I think, I really haven't been understand to use this Flickr pages. How can be the photos licenced from an open-source site and with writings "This photo is public" on the right and bottom of the page? Perhaps, you can explain me, which one I must believe, "This photo is public" or "All rights reserved" (that has been writings on the same place)([for example])? Sorry for my English, and thanks for helps. The cat 08:21, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

Could you please explain what this is about? —David Levy 13:59, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The image contains a license that isn't commercially free as well as GFDL. There is a license conflict which only the copyright holder (User:Erin Silversmith) can resolve. Nothing too serious. -- Cat ^ちぃ？ 14:12, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:The_Creation_of_Adam.jpg. 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|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version 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.

Hello, David Levy!

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.

En.wikipedia main page images[edit]

Hello, I noticed that you protected main page images of the English language Wikipedia. While I can understand the protection and am perfectly fine with the protection, I was just wondering if you could protect them only from uploading, which is now possible with the MediaWiki software. You need to press "Unlock move permissions" and then you can set who is allowed to overwrite the file. Then, set the edit protection to all users, move protection doesn't matter as only sysops can move files anyways. Since the English Wikipedia main page wouldn't suffer if someone vandalizes the image description page, I'd be happy if you could make them editable when they're on the Main Page. Thank you. --The Evil IP address (talk) 13:10, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice! I've adjusted the image's protection accordingly, and I shall do so from now on.

Note, however, that some of the English Wikipedia's main page images are protected via cascading protection applied at this page. —David Levy 15:06, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please help replace this outdated license[edit]

Hello!

Thank you for donating images to the Wikimedia Commons. You have uploaded some images in the past with the license {{PD}}. While this was a license acceptable in the early days of Wikimedia, since January 2006, this license has been deprecated and since October 2008 no new uploads with this license was allowed.

The license on older images should be replaced with a better and more specific license/permissions and you can help by checking the images and adding {{PD-self}} if you are the author or one of the other templates that you can see in the template on the image page.

Thank you for your help. If you need help feel free to ask at Commons talk:Licensing or contact User:Zscout370.

The images we would like you to check are:

We need your help at the Wikiproject medicine[edit]

Hello, Sorry for spaming your talk page, but this is very important. On the behalf of the Wikiproject medicine at the en.wikipedia, I am inviting you to be a part of the discussion going on the project's talk page about Patient images, The discussion started after I obtained a permission to more than 23000 dermatology related images, and about 1500 radiology images. As some editors of the Wikiproject medicine have some concerns regarding the policy of using patient images on wikipedia, and regarding patient consents. Also they believe that common's policy is not so clear regarding the issue. And since you are the experts please join us at this very important discussion -- MaenK.A._Talk 14:20, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.png[edit]

David, can you upload a revised version of File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.png for me? The file is here. The change is very minor. I have modified the default background color to be #f6f6f6 for display in older browsers like IE6. That color better matches the default skin. You can see the difference at [1]. It does not effect display in other browsers. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers --Svgalbertian (talk) 18:16, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, David. I'm sorry that I didn't talk to you about this one; I didn't even notice who placed the image here. I was e-mailed at my staff account about the matter, which puts me in a strange position because of the separation of duties. When approached as staff, I need to bring issues like this to the community to handle and not engage as a volunteer. Since my correspondent pointed out it was on the front page and needed an answer quickly, I ran it past an OTRS admin (who recommended the administrators' noticeboard) and then IRC. (Even as a volunteer, I'd have been taking it to somebody else, since image issues are not really my major area. :)) In retrospect, I wish I had looked into it at least deeply enough to drop personal notes to those involved; I must admit that the pressure to finish up a project I had due today kind of blinded me to that. Not very collegial of me! :/ Again, I'm sorry for that. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:07, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it's quite alright! In such a circumstance, resolving a potential copyright problem is of the utmost importance.

I wasn't at my computer at the time anyway, so contacting me wouldn't have made a difference. When I noticed that the image had been added to and removed from the English Wikipedia main page (with the latter due to a copyright concern), I responded to the speedy deletion request on the image's talk page and then proceeded to seek advice at the Commons administrators' noticeboard, where I saw your exceedingly friendly message. :) —David Levy 21:40, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Wangari Maathai portrait by Martin Rowe.jpg[edit]

If I got this correctly now: this low quality file uploaded by User:Get It in 2005 is deleted for copyright violation as well as a high quality version File:File-Wangari Maathai by Martin Rowe.jpg/renamed File:Wangari Maathai by Martin Rowe.jpg uploaded short time ago by User:Jan Arkesteijn. Why?
p.s.: avoid redirecting files to different files. It might be ok for the first of the aforementioned files, but its uneccessary for that file that only existed for 14 day without any usage on the project. It only makes things complicated, it gives a false impression of what the deleted file looked like and I first thought that the redirect target is a surviving version of the copyright violation. --Martin H. (talk) 09:21, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am surprised to find these files deleted, without there being any protocol. Who requested the deletion, and why? Where is the nomination page and discussion? Shouldn't the uploaders at least have been notified? Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 10:19, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In your direction, Jan, I have the question: Where did you get the large quality version from, where is it published under a free license? In the permission field you added a link to the 2005 small quality upload, having however a small size version published under a free license does not mean that the large size version in other unfree publications is also free. --Martin H. (talk) 10:23, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Searched for the full quality, its from http://greenbeltmovement.org/gallery.php, scroll down to media section and enter it. Its not free indeed. And according to internet archive it never looked different and never was free. --Martin H. (talk) 10:35, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is why this should have been discussed in a more public space than this discussion page. I referred to the copyright status of the smaller image. Copyright applies to intellectual property, i.e. the image, not the medium and it's properties. If the high res image is protected I am not allowed to rescale it to the small size and release it in the public domain. The small size image therefore cannot be in the public domain when the hi res image is not. Only fair use covers such a situation but we don't allow that here. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 11:17, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The small size can if a license was arragend for the small size. Such a license contract will allow anyone to reuse the small size, it will not have any implications on the full size. --Martin H. (talk) 11:30, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, based on the protection of the hi res image I am not allowed to scale it down to the exact smaller size. It is still protected. Even Peter Row can not put copyright on bits and bytes, only on the intellectual image. If he released the smaller size in the public domain, so did he do that for the hi res image. It is to bad the images where deleted so quietly. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 11:41, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you give a contract that anyone can reuse a version of 123x321px of the file then anyone can reuse a version of 123x321px of a file and not a larger version. If you ask a copyright holder to release a published file under a free license (example: "Can you provide a free licensing for http://greenbeltmovement.org/images/gal/s/gbmwm03.jpg?") then this license applies to the published file, not to any other publication of the file and not to unpublished versions. But it looks like the original uploader never got such a contract. In any possible case how the small size found its way to Wikimedia Commons, the later upload of the full size is copyright violation.

If the source is free then we should have replaced the small size upload with the full size years ago already. Regretably the source is not free. I agree however that a more clear deletion reason was required. --Martin H. (talk) 11:49, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But you pass over in silence the contradiction. If I rescale the larger protected image to 123 by 321 pixels I have the exact same image but it is still protected because the source is. However, now I have two exactly the same images, one is protected, the other is not. It is a contradiction, that cannot exist, legally. Copyright is given for intellectual property, not bits and bytes, paper and ink, etc. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 12:20, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You 'contradiction' is based on the idea that the original small size upload was free. It was/is not. --Martin H. (talk) 12:41, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1. I discovered the copyright issue last month when the image appeared on the English Wikipedia's main page. At that point, I contacted the user who uploaded it there in 2005. (User:Get It merely transferred the file to Commons.)

I finally heard back from that individual, who has a history of image copyright problems and possesses no recollection of the file's unstated source. Having scoured the Web last month (which brought me to the same high-resolution version later uploaded by Jan), I found no indication that any form of the photograph ever was released into the public domain. (All such claims are based on our PD tag.)

2. As of last night, both files were in use. I assume that someone subsequently orphaned the newer one.

Note that I also visited every listed page, purged several dozen caches to fix broken transclusions, and edited pages to correct the sizing wherever I knew how to. (Template syntax varies from wiki to wiki.)

3. My apologies for not making the situation clearer. As you cited the original file's copyright status as the basis for the PD claim, Jan, I assumed that you would understand that the deletions in no way reflected on you. —David Levy 12:47, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the research, and if uploader doesn't know, then we have to assume the image is protected by copyright, so deletion is justified. I thought it was strange, though, that it happened without leaving any notifications. Under the given circumstances, the discussion about the copyright status of an image, which has a copy released in the public domain, will bleed to death, unfortunately. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 17:56, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In retrospect, it would have been helpful if I'd left a message on your talk page (noting that I was in touch with the original uploader and explaining the copyright problem's nature). I apologize for not taking the time to do that. —David Levy 19:55, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Cmglee ArcelorMittal Orbit.jpg[edit]

Does this still need to be protected? It doesn't seem to be on the main page anymore. 99.144.114.54 03:58, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Viscount of Rio Branco[edit]

It was not you the the person who scanned the file. It was I. It was not you the one who uploaded the file. It was I. If you believe that you prefer the photo cropped, wonderful. That's not everyone's else opinion. If you really want it cropped, then you may upload the photo in a new file and ask on the articles which the files are presently being used to use you new version. In case you are unware, you don't push your views through other people's throat. You don't revert what the original uploader did, who is the very same person who created the article about the Viscount of Rio Branco and successfully nominated to Featured Article. You talk, you discuss, you listen. That's how it works. --Lecen (talk) 19:54, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We typically maintain multiple image versions with significantly different compositions/content. It's perfectly normal to perform minor tweaks to an existing file.

You don't own the file or have special authority to control it. However, I respect your opinions and have made a sincere attempt to solicit them.

You reverted my contribution without explanation (as though it was vandalism), at which point I attempted to discuss the matter with you. You ignored my message. Only then did I revert. —David Levy 21:04, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.

The file you added may soon be deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please replace the copyvio tag with {{subst:OP}} and have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you disagree that the file is a copyright violation for any other reason, please replace the copyvio tag with a regular deletion request.

Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en[edit]

Hi, No need to protect files by hand because used on enwiki main page. This will be done by bot. Regards --Steinsplitter (talk) 12:21, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Images appearing in the English Wikipedia's In the news section are an exception. The other main page sections' images usually are determined beforehand and transcluded on a KrinkleBot-monitored page 24 hours in advance. Conversely, the In the news section has no schedule or preplanned content, so its image is subject to change at any time. As a result, the cascade-protection (via Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en) does not begin immediately; KrinkleBot sometimes takes hours (up to half a day, in fact) to update the page. Therefore, manual protection is necessary, at least temporarily. —David Levy 19:26, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Creating something like Commons:Auto-protected files/by hand (enwiki)? --Steinsplitter (talk) 19:30, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That might be a good idea, especially if we could arrange for KrinkleBot to automatically remove images from the page after adding them to Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en.

Alternatively, perhaps KrinkleBot could simply unprotect files tagged with the {{Enwiki main page}} template after cascade-protecting them. —David Levy 20:11, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Invisible Bird[edit]

About this Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2015-04#File:Invisible Bird.svg:

Your reply to my queary did not address its main point, merely reinstating the deletion rationale. You did explain that there is no deletion request discussion because it was a speedy deletion, but that worsens the case even more: There is nothing about file deletion, I repeat, in Commons:Vandalism, and there is noting about (this kind of) vandalism, I add now, in Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion.

The image now in en:File:Invisible bird.jpg is perfectly suitable for Commons and your speedy deletion of it was a mistake. (I will not, however, file in a new undeletion request because the admin who closed this one will surely find an excuse to block me, again.)

However I would like you to futurely consider the difference between images (or files in general) that are used to vandalize pages in other projects (or even pages in Commons), either uploaded by vandals or not, and files used for vandalism which are worth of deletion, usually for copyvio and/or offscopeness. To be clear, an example: Almost every image under, say, Category:Animal feces could be (and probably was or will be) used to vandalize unrelated pages, yet that is not reason enough to delete any of them.

-- Tuválkin ✉ 12:09, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your reply to my queary did not address its main point, merely reinstating the deletion rationale.

Perhaps you overlooked the piped link to Commons:Deletion policy, which I quoted. The image "was uploaded with the intent to be used solely for purposes of vandalism". Its creator probably would have preferred to upload the file as a new version of the one from which it was derived (thereby attracting less scrutiny), but protection prevented that.

You did explain that there is no deletion request discussion because it was a speedy deletion, but that worsens the case even more: There is nothing about file deletion, I repeat, in Commons:Vandalism,

See above and below.

and there is noting about (this kind of) vandalism, I add now, in Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion.

The file was "content intended as vandalism". It was created explicitly and exclusively for the purpose of vandalizing an English Wikipedia article (that day's featured article, no less).

The image now in en:File:Invisible bird.jpg is perfectly suitable for Commons and your speedy deletion of it was a mistake.

The Wikimedia Commons isn't an indiscriminate repository of freely licensed media. As explained at Commons:Project scope, a file "must be realistically useful for an educational purpose". Please explain how the image in question meets that requirement.

Currently, the file to which you linked is transcluded solely in a snapshot of the vandalized article, the creator of which labeled it unsuitable "for any research or serious use".

However I would like you to futurely consider the difference between images (or files in general) that are used to vandalize pages in other projects (or even pages in Commons), either uploaded by vandals or not, and files used for vandalism which are worth of deletion, usually for copyvio and/or offscopeness.

How, in your view, does the image in question fall within the project's scope?

To be clear, an example: Almost every image under, say, Category:Animal feces could be (and probably was or will be) used to vandalize unrelated pages,

That's why the bad image list exists (though I've never agreed with that name, as the images aren't inherently "bad").

yet that is not reason enough to delete any of them.

Those images are realistically useful for educational purposes. —David Levy 23:49, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your detailed reply. It is very clarifying. -- Tuválkin ✉ 00:39, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wordmarks for catalan version[edit]

Hi David,

I have seen you are one of the authors of these files: File:Wikipedia 15 globe wordmark.svg and File:Wordmark Europe-2.svg. I would ask if it's possible you could translate and publish the same files in Catalan, changing the "WIKIPEDIA15" text to "VIQUIPÈDIA15". I have previously contacted with User:Outstandy (he's a WMF designer), but it seems he's not active.

We do not have any wordmark in our language and it would be great having these ones, and if would be possible too, having an own design like the Sagrada Família, a "barretina" or a charicature of Salvador Dalí would be fantastic to promote our activities. Do you think you can help us?

I would like to remark that I have tried doing it myself with Inskcape but I can't get anything decent... Thank you very much! --Xavier D. (Messages) 21:15, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Danny Willett picture[edit]

Hi David,

You have recently updated Danny Willett's page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Willett

While I am a heavy Wikipedia user, I've never invested the time to contribute. Something I'd like to change since a few years now. I've tried several times and never found how to make it work hassle free. Is there a tutorial somewhere explaining what it takes to get the ball rolling ?

What do you think of updating Danny's page with a recent picture? The one you'll be able to download from here https://audemarspiguet.picturepark.com/Go/mb1M2XPf is free of rights. It has been shot during the Audemars Piguet Golf Invitational in Dubai in November 2015.

Kind Regards, Mark

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Chinese - Flask - Walters 491632 (square).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. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (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.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Ju Ta 15:58, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

JuTa: I included the {{Walters Art Museum license}} tag. Unfortunately, the {{Walters Art Museum artwork}} template's permission parameter was disabled without explanation (as part of an edit in which an OTRS ticket was inserted) on 13 May 2012. The template's documentation was never updated and continued to specify permission as a valid parameter.

I just re-enabled the parameter, resulting in the license tag's proper display at File:Chinese - Flask - Walters 491632 (square).jpg. (Please self-revert accordingly.)

In the interim, any files whose license tags were provided via that parameter – whether uploaded before or after it was disabled – appeared to lack proper licensing information. I worry that this may have resulted in various images' accidental deletion over the past several years.

Pinging Kaldari regarding this issue, in case similar changes occurred elsewhere. —David Levy 00:11, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing that! Most of the Walters images were using {{Walters Art Museum license}} in the licensing section below {{Walters Art Museum artwork}}, so I don't imagine that it affected a huge number of images. Good to have it working correctly, though, just in case. Kaldari (talk) 18:48, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:William Punohu White.jpg[edit]

Can you create your version as File:William Punohu White (square).jpg or something like that? I prefer the png oval portrait to stay on the main article. We can retain your version for the DYK main page promotion though...I also do not understand why you would change the color for File:William Punohu White, facing left.jpg, so I'm going to revert that one. I'm asking Quibik to help me do a minor cleaning for that one up later when he/she is free. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:57, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

KAVEBEAR: I cleaned up the image extensively. The change to sepia tone (matching the infobox photograph) was incidental and can be omitted from that version. —David Levy 04:42, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It just seem to me that the change are a bit more extensive than I want for the image since I was only looking for someone light touch ups; it has to do with the change to the brightness/tone surrounding his skin color which I feel at odd with. I can wait to see what Quibik may have to say about it for now on the second image. Is there anyway to retain the original tone? And as for the first image File:William Punohu White.jpg, I can now see the advantage of the square image but still rather if it was created as a derivative file. Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 05:15, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

KAVEBEAR:Do you have in mind a particular use case for the oval version in the JPEG format? (I ask because it lacks the PNG's transparency.) —David Levy 05:18, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding File:William Punohu White, facing left.jpg, I just adjusted the levels. Is that what you had in mind? —David Levy 05:27, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I feel the oval portrait should remain at least and the square seems a heavier altercation of the original. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 19:14, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:HMS Spiteful under way.jpg[edit]

Hi, thanks for paying attention to this image. However, a couple of points: I would appreciate an explanation as to why you think the change in colour is necessary, as I would rather this be per the original photograph in my possession; and I note that, whereas the original omits the top of the mast but includes an indication of a pennant flying from it, the latest version does not show this. As this image is currently set to appear on English WP's main page in a couple of days – perhaps that is why you have looked at it – I'd be grateful for an early reply. Thanks. Nortonius (talk) 13:51, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nortonius: I've attempted to address your concerns (including the omission of the pennant, which I mistook for a smudge). If you prefer, feel free to revert. (I believe that this is possible, despite the cascading protection. If not, you can leave a request here.) Apologies for any distress caused. —David Levy 18:25, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Understood and no harm done, I'm perfectly fine with the image as it is now. And thanks for the rapid response! Nortonius (talk) 18:48, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the future, you might want to scan the aforementioned markings more carefully before suggesting that someone else missed an obvious clue. —David Levy 19:09, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, after digging around some more, I realized the clip wasn't produced by VOA indeed. My apologies. СССР (talk) 22:53, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Thanks for following up. —David Levy 23:05, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Commons Conference project[edit]

Hello

I'm writing you as one of the most active Commons users right now. Since a while now, the idea of a dedicated Commons conference has been floating around. But since the last Wikimania concrete steps have been taken to actually make it happen next year. If you're interested in participation or maybe willing to help organize the first ever Commons Conference, I invite you to check out the project page and leave your comments; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.

Cheers,

Font used[edit]

Hello,

We are nearing 2 million articles on the Wikipedia in French and considering to use a special logo inspired from File:English Wikipedia five million articles heading.png, which you happen to have posted here. However, the font used in this PNG image isn't the same than the one used in the sources. Could you please fill us about the name of this font so we can use it too ? Thanks in advance. :) J. N. Squire (talk) 12:15, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

J. N. Squire: Apologies for the lateness of my response. (I somehow overlooked your message.) Regrettably, I don't know what font was used or recall why it differed from other versions.

In any event, I see that you've reached the milestone and created a suitable logo to celebrate. Congratulations! Sorry again that I wasn't able to help. —David Levy 20:35, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ronhjones and Hedwig in Washington:

The photograph in question (one of two compiled to create the file, the other being in the public domain) resides at FIle:Raila Amolo Odinga.jpg, where its original Flickr licensing is attested by an automated review and an OTRS ticket.

I'm an administrator, but it seems more appropriate to write this response than it does to restore the file myself. —David Levy 04:53, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

possible copy-right violation[edit]

Hi David Levy and Happy New Year! Would you please have a look at this image at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Main-qimg-23983818c37e74be5120435e48cccb54.png. I suspect that this has been scanned from a book, as it also shows the original caption, which indicates that photographer was AJT Johnsingh, but NOT the person who uploaded it to commons. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 16:07, 3 January 2019 (UTC) PS: the uploader tried to use it twice at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuno_National_Park#History. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 16:14, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BhagyaMani: A. J. T. Johnsingh appears to be an ecologist (presumably the source of the caption's information), not a photographer. On the off chance that the uploader does own the copyright, I've left a note on his/her talk page. In the absence of a satisfactory response, I'll delete the file. —David Levy 06:15, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BhagyaMani: The uploader explained that the image does not belong to him/her and requested deletion (which I've performed). —David Levy 07:05, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello David Levy, the following content you uploaded violates one or more of our policies and therefore has been or will soon be deleted:

File:Smooth Toadfish-Tetractenos glaber (mirrored).JPG

The Wikimedia Commons (this website) only hosts media files with a realistic educational purpose and that can be used for any purpose, including:

use in any work, regardless of content
creation of derivative works
commercial use
free distribution

See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.

Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.

Yours sincerely, — Racconish ^💬 12:43, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Racconish: This is a mirrored version of File:Smooth Toadfish-Tetractenos glaber.JPG, which was uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license by the photograph's author (who also linked to his/her own Flickr account in the summary). I've restored the file and clarified its source. Apologies for the confusion. —David Levy 20:01, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image Napoleon crop.jpg[edit]

Dear David Levy

I am interested in using your image Napoleon crop.jpg in a documentary. I work for a company called Blakeway and we are making a film about the Alexander the Great for National Geographic. Would you be happy to sign a short release form saying that you are happy for us to use your photograph?

Jamie --Zincmedia (talk) 17:07, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jamie: File:Napoleon crop.jpg was derived from The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries, which was painted in 1812 by Jacques-Louis David, who died in 1825. Its copyright expired long ago, placing it in the public domain.

The piece was photographed in the United States (where faithful reproductions of two-dimensional artwork acquire no copyright protection), so you're welcome to use the image without permission from me, other uploaders, or anyone else. A high-resolution shot of the full painting is available here.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask. —David Levy 00:49, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oriente warbler[edit]

Hello David. It's nice that you've used one of my photos to illustrate the Wikipedia home page and your crop is OK with me. I think that it would be better to alert the uploader though in advance as not all crops of my images hav been acceptable. Many thanks Charles

Charlesjsharp: To clarify, to what sort of notification (i.e., in what circumstance) are you referring? —David Levy 12:09, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just a ping when you crop one of my photos. I have chosen a crop which I believe is best for most purposes. But of course, the licence permits cropping and publications do it all the time. So just a courtesy. Charles (talk) 12:16, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Charlesjsharp: Will do. And feel free to upload your recommended crops and link to them in the parent images' descriptions. (I routinely check for such files.) —David Levy 12:26, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Warning[edit]

Have you just kidnapped a file because of reasons? Please restore the original size and filename. I wouldn't want to request this twice. You are of course entitled to upload whatever crop you like under another filename. Regards.--Up and Go (talk) 23:51, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Up and Go: I've undone the changes, just as I would have in response to a friendly request. My apologies for any distress caused.

Regarding the above "warning", I assure you that I had no intention of provoking controversy. I merely aspired to improve an image's cropping (via minor adjustments) and filename. (If your use of an unusual format and repetition of the subject's name was deliberate/meaningful, I was unaware.)

I encourage you to read Commons:Ownership of pages and files and Commons:Assume good faith before reacting to future modifications (to this file or others that you upload) with accusations of "kidnapping". —David Levy 20:52, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The original crop was 3:4. The new one is somewhat similar, but I personally found it leaves little (less than desired) space between the top of the image and the top of the head (but those potential "editorial disagreements" are reasons for uploading different crops). In addition the valid "rationales" for renaming are way more restrictive than the concerned file renaming. I also found strange the file was fully protected during the changes. Regards.--Up and Go (talk) 23:54, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The original crop was 3:4.

Up and Go: Both crops are 3:4.

The new one is somewhat similar, but I personally found it leaves little (less than desired) space between the top of the image and the top of the head (but those potential "editorial disagreements" are reasons for uploading different crops).

I generally upload a separate file when I regard a crop as materially distinct (i.e., useful in a different context), not when my intent is to adjust an existing crop only slightly. In a vast majority of instances, no objections are raised (and I often receive thanks from the original uploaders).

When an objection does arise, I have no qualms about reverting and uploading under a different filename.

In addition the valid "rationales" for renaming are way more restrictive than the concerned file renaming.

I perceived the filename (in which the subject's name appeared twice) as a formatting error, most likely caused by accidentally prepending new text to another file's name instead of replacing the latter outright.

I also found strange the file was fully protected during the changes.

The file was cascade-protected by a bot beforehand (because of its use on the English Wikipedia's main page). I added redundant manual protection (which had no impact on the level of protection in place) as a precaution, in case the automatic protection was interrupted momentarily amid the renaming (due to caching issues, bot coding quirks, etc.). —David Levy 00:50, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Loves Monuments 2019[edit]

Hallo David Levy,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2019 findet zum neunten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Dabei können Bau- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Es sind viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu fotografieren. Neben beeindruckenden märchenhaften Schlössern, Burgen und Kirchen können auch andere Kulturdenkmale wie Brücken, Industrieruinen, Bauernhöfe oder Parks fotografiert werden, um sie unter anderem in der Wikipedia zu dokumentieren. In den letzten Jahren sind zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden, die sich über Fotos freuen. Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Du bist interessiert, am Wettbewerb mitzuwirken, dir fehlt aber die richtige Technik? Dann wirf doch mal einen Blick in den Technikpool und das Technikleihportal von Wikimedia Deutschland! Dort findest du Kameras, Objektive und Zubehör verschiedenster Art. Sollte noch Technik fehlen, die aber in Zukunft unbedingt benötigt wird, dann freut sich Wikimedia Deutschland über dein Feedback zum Technikpool.

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Mitte September 2019 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die im Oktober tagt, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg bei größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z thomas 14:28, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Wright[edit]

Why do you have overwritten my version? It wasn't simple scaled. --Ralf Roletschek 15:30, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ralf: The image was enlarged significantly beyond its native resolution, resulting in problematically noticeable JPEG artifacts.

I replaced it with a native crop (derived from the original file without transcoding). You're welcome to revert to your original composition (or similar), but please don't attempt to boost the low resolution by increasing the image's dimensions (which degrades the file's quality rather than improving it). —David Levy 03:29, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This Image was for the Mainpage in de.WP, where it was very small, because this a portrait was better than the other Pic. I use for this S-Spline Photozoom, its not simple scaled. --Ralf Roletschek 12:18, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ralf: I've heard good things about that software, but in this instance, the result was poor. (My understanding is that it's supposed to minimize JPEG artifacts, but that doesn't appear to have occurred.)

I would suggest, at a bare minimum, smoothing the JPEG artifacts through the carefully targeted use of a Gaussian blur filter. (If it would be helpful, I could do so myself when I'm back at my usual computer.) Additionally, the composition could be improved.

As I noted, though, you should feel free to revert if you disagree with my change/advice. It isn't my intent to force my views on anyone. —David Levy 12:48, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now it doesn't matter, that was only intended for the main page. Everything OK. --Ralf Roletschek 15:36, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Commons does not accept fair use content.

We do this because Commons is a shared media repository. Downstream wikis have different policies based on local laws. Uses that are acceptable under US law, for example, may not be acceptable in many other countries with more restrictive rules.

In addition, fair use is not compatible with our aim as a collection of freely distributable media files.

Therefore, Commons cannot legally rely on fair use provisions.

Non-free content that may be used with reference to fair use may be uploaded locally if your project allows this.

Furthermore, I fail to see where this image is wrongly tagged as being available in Commons for fair use, it is licensed as {{PD-Pre1978}}.

De-adminship warning[edit]

This talk page in other languages:

Dear David Levy. 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/Aug-Sep 2020 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.

Please participate in the Universal Code of Conduct consultation on Wikimedia Commons![edit]

Dear David Levy

Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.

After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.

The discussion is taking place on Commons:Universal Code of Conduct consultation. You can also share your thoughts by replying to this message (Please ping me so I get notified), posting your message on my talk page. I am aware that some thoughts cannot be expressed publicly, so you can always share your opinion by emailing me as well.

As a valued member of the Commons community, please share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that relate to UCoC. Let us know what needs to be improved so we can build a more friendly and cooperative space to increase editor engagement and retention of new users.

Wikimedia projects are governed by you. So, it is you who needs to step up to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pleasant working environment.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you! Wikitanvir (WMF) (talk) 10:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC[edit]

Hello David Levy,

I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.

As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.

You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.

Thank you for your participation! Wikitanvir (WMF) 13:53, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:BlankMap-World-v2.png, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, 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. 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!

Thanks for uploading File:Oakland fire, 2016-12-03, subsequent morning.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:Oakland fire, 2016-12-03, subsequent morning.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Louisiana Purchase Image[edit]

Dear David Levy,

Smithsonian Folkways Recordings are currently in the process of developing a new series of curriculum materials (called Smithsonian Folkways Learning Pathways) for educators (mostly music and social studies educators). These unique resources place recordings from the Smithsonian Folkways collection at the center of the learning experience. These will be FREE resources for all educators, everywhere. Each learning pathway is a curated musical journey through a historical, cultural, or musical theme (e.g. Music of the Chicano Movement; Sounds of the Civil Rights Movement; Cajun & Zydeco Music; etc...).

As part of these learning pathways, we are creating interactive student slideshows that will help teachers facilitate learning experiences in any educational environment both in-person or online. We wanted to let you know that we will be using the 'Louisiana Purchase' image seen on your Wikimedia Commons webpage. We are planning to use the image for our 'Cajun and Zydeco' learning pathway. We know that the image is under Creative Commons, and we will make sure to give you the credit for the image.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Louisiana_Purchase.png?uselang=fr

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about any of the information.

King Regards, Gisele, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings ~~giseh

How we will see unregistered users[edit]

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Sound Logo[edit]

Hello,

I am messaging you because a contest for a sound logo for Wikimedia is being developed and your opinion as a Wikimedia Commons admin is appreciated. My team would like to know if it is possible for the top finalist sound logos in the contest to have attribution temporarily hidden from public view until all the votes are final? The idea is to let the public judge the sound logo contestants based on the merit of the logo, not the person or people who made it. Again, any feedback is appreciated.

(talk page stalker) it’s at en:File:Theladyofshalott anjalucycazemier.jpg, not here in Wikimedia Commons. You need to ask at the English Wikipedia, @Anjalucycazemier: Neat photo, b.t.w. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 16:02, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I will do that. Anjalucycazemier (talk) 07:47, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
