Dear NativeForeigner,
Thank you for your kind words pertaining to my creation of the LG Mobile World Cup category, but I believe the real thanks should be to you for the quality photographs you have uploaded. Keep up the good work!

Hi NativeForeigner,
As a you've probebly noticed, since yesterday the patrolling functinality has been enabled for all edits, no longer just for page creations. This enables us to track, for example, anonymous edits on Commons. I'd like to invite you to check out the Anonymous edits list and maybe patrol part of a day. See also the updated Commons:Patrol.
If you have any questions please leave message on the CVU talkpage, my talkpage or on IRC. --Krinkletalk 17:19, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Simpson[edit]
No worries: It's the sort of mistake that's easy to make if you don't know the artist, and which looks really wrong if you do. The best way to do colour adjustments is to look at the red, green, and blue histograms individually, then set the black and white points for each to some consistent point (preferably the minimum and maximum, but sometimes, if, say, the left side of the blue is clipped, or if the curve tails off, making it hard to identify where the end of it is, you may want to try and find a point you can consistently identify on each that's very near the minimum and/or maximum, and use that instead. Ideally, do a colour adjustment before any cropping, especially before cropping colour boxes. Sure, you might want to correct for paper yellowing or the like after that, but it's better to do that knowingly. =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:15, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Flickr-review[edit]
Hi NativeForeigner,
this morning you manually Flickr-reviewed File:JonathanGoodwin.png as having CC-BY, after the bot failed to find the correct image size. However, when I checked the same Flickr source[1] a few hours later, I found the image to be licensed CC-BY-ND (no derivative), which is non-compatible with Commons. As this change within less than 2 hours looks a little strange to me, may I ask, are you really sure about your review[2]? --Túrelio (talk) 07:04, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
![[2]](https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:JonathanGoodwin.png&diff=43966430&oldid=43966396){kind=link}
- I'm quite aware that that ilcense is not allowed, and am quite sure I checked. But on the other hand it looks awfully strange,so that was probably a mistake. Quite a first review. Go ahead and decline if you wish, I was looking at cc licenses trying to convince somebody to release 5000 images to pd, and still had that window open. (probably the cause of the problems) NativeForeigner 토론 (talk) 15:02, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. Can happen to everybody. --Túrelio (talk) 10:33, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

| This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Invasion of the Netherlands 1.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! |

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open[edit]
Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:
- Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
- This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
- Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.
To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons
Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

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)
