Thank you for uploading images on Commons.

Please add license tag(s) (see Commons:Copyright tags for more information) and author/source information. If you did it yourself please say this fact explicitly.

Please add such maps in specific country category only. Otherwise generic categories such as Category:Maps will become overcrowded and unusable for search.

Please add author/source information to all this files. Who made them? You? Did you take them from other Wiki?
Please put this maps in Category:Maps of Uzbekistan only.

File Source[edit]

Hi MChew,

Just wondered if you could tell me anything more about the source of this image: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IJN_Satsuma_2.jpg . I'm using it in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreadnought , which will shortly be going up for Featured Article status on the English Wikipedia, and the question will certainly be asked there. Many thanks, The Land (talk) 19:13, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The photo is a scan from a collection of old military postcards owned by a friend. As Satsuma was scrapped in 1923, the postcard dates from before this time, perhaps around 1910-1915. However, scans of similar postcards can be found at [1] among other sites. --MChew (talk) 16:02, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Correct photography dates when transferring from Japanese Wikipedia[edit]

Hi. I notice you have been transferring a lot of station photos from Japanese Wikipedia, which is of course great, but please could you be sure to check that you insert the correct photography date in the "Date" field of the "Information template". In a lot of cases, the date appears to have been the date the original file was uploaded to Japanese Wikipedia, and not the actual date the photograph was taken. I have corrected a number of such files recently, but if you could go back and check through the files you have transferred and make sure the dates are correct, that would be a great help. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 06:43, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This media may be deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Prince Fushimi Sadanaru.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.

If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work.

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!

Correct dates for files transferred from Wikipedia[edit]

Hi. Can you please make sure you insert the correct "taken on" date for images you transfer from Japanese Wikipedia? I see I dropped you a message about this exactly one year ago, but I still see a large number of recently uploaded files with incorrect dates. If you use Move-to-commons assistant, the correct date should be added automatically, so you might want to consider using this in future. Otherwise it just adds unnecessary work for other editors to go back and check all the files you have uploaded. I hope you can take this onboard. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 07:03, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello MChew.

You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful.

This is your last warning. The next time you upload a file that violates copyright, you will be blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions.

  — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 15:53, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You wanted specifics, here they are: File:Kumamoto Yokoi Shonan.jpg, File:Verny bust at Yokosuka.jpg, File:Aizen by Kawabata Ryushi.jpg, and File:UZ-Fergana.PNG.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 13:09, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Two of these files were deleted well over 10 years ago (in one case over 15 years ago)! The other two were deleted over two years ago after a misunderstanding on rules pertaining to statuary on public display. This is ancient history which you have dredged up and should not justify a threatening message after all of these years and hundreds of uploads with no problems or issues in the meantime!? --MChew (talk) 14:04, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You waited 11 years before finally adding a source for File:Prince Fushimi Sadanaru.jpg just 8 months ago, and you still used the wrong date. Also, where did you archive to when making this edit?   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 10:25, 3 April 2018 (UTC)==Category:Kōma_Station_(Iwate)==[reply]

Important message for file movers[edit]

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

  • To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
  • To perform file name swaps.
  • When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Kaigarayama shell midden.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.

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.

Hello! I see you move files to Commons. Have you tried FileImporter? If you use that the file history will also be moved and the original uploader will also be mentioned at the uploader here on Commons. You can read more about it at this page. You can turn it on in settings at ja:特別:個人設定#mw-prefsection-betafeatures. I also fixed this old upload. You added GFDL but the original was PD. --MGA73 (talk) 10:04, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
