There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful informations about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? 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. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

explanation

I brightened Image:DALPHIN I.jpg because the nozzles are in so much shadow I couldn't distinguish them.

I figured it was the most important part of the picture.

Hello JMSchneid!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. --Apalsola ^{t • c} 22:48, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

•  Comment For a VI, I think a tighter crop would be more valuable. Also, I'd suggest limiting the scope to the female here, with a picture like this one for the male scope. --Eusebius (talk) 10:15, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

File:ScottMcCloud.jpg

Hi Joe, regarding your image of Scott McCloud, you can theoretically reduce the image until it complies with de minimis (see COM:DM), but I think you would probably have to reduce it by quite a lot. If you wanted to use this on enwiki as a fair use image, you'd still have to make it small and you would also have to delete it from commons, but it wouldn't quality for fair use because Scott is still alive (plus we already have a good picture of him). Or, you can find out if the artwork behind him is free of copyright restrictions. Not impossible, though unlikely. I see that this image is being used at en wiki—I think it should probably be removed as soon as you can, and you should probably take it to deletion requests and see what the rest of the community thinks about the possible copyright infringement. Hope that helps, even if it isn't good news, :-) Maedin\^talk 07:36, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

•  Comment For the VI project, the minimum size is the review size, the one displayed on this page. It is quite small, so it doesn't really matter here. But if the two images are of same value and one is larger than the other, then it can help decide. --Eusebius (talk) 09:02, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, JMSchneid!

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.
