Please add your images to appropriative pages and/or categories where other users could easily find them. For example to Category:Poland (or find more relevant one).
The rest of your uploads seem to be OK, but please, when you are uploading an image that is "from the English wikipedia", give a direct link to the image there. It needs to be as easy as possible for us to check the source information is correct. Thanks, pfctdayelise (translate?) 13:28, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If you created this image, 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. If the file is up for deletion because it has been superseded by a superior derivative of your work, consider the notion that although the file may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new file.
In all cases, please do not take the deletion request personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!
Image:Stava2.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.

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:
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.
Yes I know that pictures should have categories (thank you!). I always try to find a suitable one. In this case I provided the category: „Hydrodynamics“, but somehow this category disappeared within the uploading procedure - and I didn't notice it. Now it has this category again!--ProfessorX (talk) 18:33, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. This above is, without doubt, not a type of dam. Just a mere architecture style. People sometimes confuse the difference between style and type. Either way, we cannot put up wrong facts. Rehman01:09, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Do you agree that a buttress dam is a dam? Or some kind of dam or some sort of dam? So it might be possible to put “buttress dams” into “Category:Dams”. --ProfessorX (talk) 17:48, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, "do you agree that a buttress dam is a dam" is a silly question, its same as asking something like "do you think a carved door is a door"; or course it is, its just carved. For now I think Category:Dams would do. Rehman01:08, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Deletion of images of Argentine coins and bills/Supresión de imágenes de monedas y billetes argentinos[edit]
Several images of Argentine bills and coins have been listed for deletion so that the community can discuss if they should be kept or not. We would appreciate if you could contribute your opinion, seeing as you have uploaded one or more of the files. The discussion is here: Commons:Deletion requests/Images of money of Argentina. Thank you.
dann könnten wir jetzt noch überlegen, die Datei umzubenennen, weil der Name ja nun irreführend ist. Muss aber nicht sein, geht ja auch so.--ProfessorX (talk) 19:15, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploading File:Walsburg (Unterbecken).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 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.
Thank you for your information. I corrected the license information yesterday. The error happened somehow during the upload procedure.--ProfessorX (talk) 18:23, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Congratulations to your photos of all the dams and reservoirs in the Ore Mountains. However, it seems to me that two of those to the Janov dam are misplaced. They show the Janov dam but appear at the Kamenicka dam. Sincerely. --HsBerlin01 (talk) 08:39, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I noticed that you edited the file descriptions of several of this user's uploads, correctly noting that they were not the uploader's own work as he or she had claimed, but were in fact grabbed from various online sources. If you come across such cases in the future, could I please ask that you let someone know about it, either on the Administrators' noticeboard or by adding a {{Copyvio}} tag to the file description? People uploading random non-free content they found on the Internet to Commons is a huge problem for the project and its users, and the faster we can remove them, the better. Just adding a few subtle links on the file descriptions and a comment in the edit summary normally won't draw the attention of anyone who can do anything about it. Danke schön! —LX (talk, contribs)10:04, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hallo, meinst du es wär sinnvoll, das mit Dams und Reservoirs doch auch für Deutschland irgendwie aufzulösen? Dann könnten Kategorien wie Category:Möhne Reservoir dam, die wirklich nur das Sperrmauer-Bauwerk meinen, vielleicht noch besser einsortiert werden. Holger1959 (talk) 16:56, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Es gab vor nicht allzu langer Zeit beide Kategorien (Dams in Germany und Reservoirs in Germany), beide enthielten Talsperren und Stauseen bunt durcheinander. Dann wurden sie in einer einzigen Kategorie gemischt - das war auch konsequent, finde ich. Es gibt auch ausführliche Diskussionen in der deutschen Wikipedia zu einen ähnlichen Thema (de:Diskussion:Talsperre#Stauanlage) - aber ohne Ergebnis. Hier in Commons wäre es wohl auch schwierig, einen Konsens zu finden.--ProfessorX (talk) 20:33, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ProfessorX, it seems that your latest changes or uploads of the file(s) Robert Augustus Toombs 2.jpg broke a template. This assumption has been made because the file(s) appeared in the maintenance Category:Language templates with no text displayed. To fix this issue please check this category for further information. If the file(s) is/are not contained in the maintenance category anymore someone else already did the work and you can ignore this message. Thank you for your cooperation. --ArndBot (talk) 19:21, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look at the 9 (1 was added yesterday) files in that category and they were only categorised in there and nowhere else which, of course, is not supposed to be as the category doesn't actually say much about the files at all other than stating a personal view of the uploader/editor. I recategorised the files to their correct categories and the subjective category is now empty. - Takeaway (talk) 12:45, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Danke für Deine Arbeit bei der Kategorisierung von Dateien. Allerdings wird diese bei der o. g. umsonst gewesen sein, da es eine Urheberrechtsverletzungen ist. Bei „verdächtigen“ Dateien (geringe Auflösung, keine vernünftige Beschreibung usw.) führt eine Google-Bildersuche schnell zu Scott Caan und Patrick Hoelck und nicht zu Unidentified men.

Na dann eben nicht! Mich stört es allerdings, wenn hinterher meine Arbeit wegen vermeidbarer Gründe gelöscht wird. Wenn es bei Ihnen anders ist, ist es auch gut. Tschüss --Ras67 (talk) 20:51, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hallo! Du hast bei File:Dülmen, Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, Treppenhaus -- 2018 -- 1385.jpg eine Kategorie entfernt - Bird's-eye view. Mag sein, dass sie nicht ganz richtig ist, aber wenn du die passende kennst, wäre es nett, sie auch zu setzen. Das würde uns die Arbeit erleichtern. Ich fände es auch konstruktiv. Du doch bestimmt auch. Vielleicht habe ich jetzt die richtige gesetzt. Hoffentlich. Das ist mit Übersetzungen aus dem Englischen nicht immer einfach. --XRaytalk19:40, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Now I understand what you want me to do. But, I cannot upload photographs from other websites that are not mine: only the photographer has the license to do that. That's a copyright issue. See Commons:Licensing for example, and other pages.
I'm sorry, but don't know enough about this topic. Italian laws say that photographs that are "intellectual work with creative characteristics" are protected for 70 years after the author's death, whereas simple photographs are protected for a period of 20 years from creation. Maybe some of those photos are free, others aren't - I don't know. Maybe you can insert some weblinks like I did here in the German article.--ProfessorX (talk) 18:29, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your comment isn't useful either. Please leave your comments on the deletion request discussion page only.
And consider that other user maybe unexperienced.--ProfessorX (talk) 16:57, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t know what you knowledge by helping new user. I can see that the user you cited is very unfamiliar with this project’s policies. But this is not a reason to indulge him in uploading documents that do not comply with there rules. In addition, it is not unexperienced but inexperienced.

Everybody may express his opinion on a discussion page at his will. That's what discussions are for. Seems to me you don't want a consensus but you want to enforce your opinion. And your English isn't best either.--ProfessorX (talk) 19:01, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Everybody may express his opinion on a discussion page at his will." This sentence is correct, but there is a premise: what you post is helpful for the discussion. For example, if you want to keep File:Mag. Miriam Vilca Arana. Auditorio.jpg, you need to read the reason for deletion, and then provide valid evidence that the reason is invalid, such as the uploader is with the lady in this photo are related. Self-photo are not a valid reason to ignore copyright issues. If Jimbo himself took a picture of himself, then the copyright holder of the photo is himself, not someone else who uploaded it to the public website without his permission. In addition, I think you have interest in [2](｀・ω・´) (talk) 14:27, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
