Friese gouwen

Ik zag dat je de afbeelding van de Friese gouwen had verwijderd. Dit mag je terug plaatsen, gezien het 100% mijn eigen werk is. Het betreft Image:Gebieden_Friesland.png.

Ook de afbeelding image:Lânkaart_lokaasje_Friso-Saksyske_Talen.gif is mijn eigen werk, afgeleid van deze afbeelding op de Friese wikipedia. Als er weer iets niet klopt met de licentie, bedenk dan zelf maar een, want ik heb er weinig verstand van en het is mijn eigen werk. Gruna 1 08:45, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Hoi Gruna. Ik heb de afbeelding hersteld en bron- en auteursinformatie toegevoegd. Dat is verplicht volgens de GFDL. Let daar alsjeblieft op in de toekomst, anders ga je tegen hetzelfde euvel aanlopen. Groet, Siebrand 13:36, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Ik zag dat je de gebruiker Woadan hebt toegevoegd aan de afbeeld. Echter ging het daarbij over deze afbeelding en niet over deze. Gruna 1 20:14, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry but I didn't find how to do it. I'm new and not very good at it. I need help. Could you show me how to proceed [or do it for me :) ]. These categories will be adequate (I think):
Category:Doctors
Category:Physiologists

Thank you (by advance). Stéphane P 10:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC) (I hope you will be lenient for my english. Please tell me if you speak french. Thanks again.)
My French is VERY rusty, but you are quite able to make yourself understood. Please check the edit history of the image in a minute. I'll have the categories added by then. Cheers! Siebrand 10:40, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

image:Malieveld.jpg

Ik kreeg zowaar een e-mail in m'n mailbox van commons, nooit eerder gebeurd, maar oké. Ik snap wat je bedoelt met de afbeelding image:Malieveld.jpg, maar ik weet niet wat de juiste licentie voor deze afbeelding is. Er staat bij dat hij te gebruiken is met bronvermelding, dat heb ik correct toegevoegd. Is deze afbeelding dan ongeschikt voor commons of is het een verkeerd vermeld. Wil jij daar even naar kijken. Wanneer dat even in orde is, zal ik hem opnieuw uploaden, met een betere naam. Groet, Vincentsc 12:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Why is this image a problem? It was created in 1789. I got the scan from a website (I think in the U.S.A.) but it's difficult to see how they could claim copyright. What should I now do?

Hoi Siebrand wat is hier het probleem? Lijkt me toch een keurige bijlage als toestemming.

Ik heb de status in OTRS zojuist nagekeken. Wil je de volgende keer zo expliciet mogelijk door de rechthebbende laten aangeven dat een bepaalde specifieke licentie wordt verleend. Het materiaal dat je hebt doorgestuurd zou helemaal formeel niet in orde kunnen zijn.
Wat betreft Image:Cover_Twister.jpg: deze mail kan het beste worden uitgelegd als Wikipedia only (granted formal permission to use this in conjunction with the article). Dat is niet voldoende. Rechthebbende moet licenseren onder een vrije licentie. Zie ook Commons:Email templates. Groet, Siebrand 08:27, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

But I don't know how to change the tag. Anyway, "lauchers" is misspelled. Should I just wait for it to be deleted as "copywrong" and start over again? It isn't vital to the article that uses it.

Re= Image:Uncylogo.png

Thanx for your kind message, Siebrand. I have a little problem about the use and the license type, because it's not compatible with a WikiMedia Commons' Politics.
I'm just required at Inciclopedia -a Spanish wiki project like to Uncyclopedy- the apropiated permission for use it.
Adicionaly, Drini say me Commons don't accept any kind of logos, for example, Coke's logo, etc.
Can you help me about it? I think about it that any Wiki Project's logo is a fairy and free use, so it's can be used in Wiki Projects...

Categorizations

In the big (and IMHO useless, but never mind) recategorization project of German towns and villages, you have, e. g., removed the category "Category:Kißlegg, Germany". I think it is outrageous to remove categories (that do no harm and are not misspelled or anything) and not check the interwiki links and change the incoming links as well. Alternatively, one could at least leave a rediret. Now, the commons link on de:Kißlegg leads to a non existant Commons page. I have spent hours and hours of time to link Commons from various local wikipedias. Deletions like yours make my work useless. --AndreasPraefcke 06:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Links to Commons from local projects usually use a template like {{CatCommons|CategoryName}}. I think you'd best make a request at the local wiki's request page for bot operators to change all redirects to Commons categories containing "X, Germany" to "X". That will leave less than 10 links as incorrect. Cheers! Siebrand 07:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I second Andreas' comments. Thanks to your massive renaming of categories, lots of pages in the German (and probably other) Wikipedias are now pointing to non-existent categories. This renders these categories useless. Please fix the situation. I have no particular preferences as to whether the ", Germany" suffix should be included in the category name or not, but at least the old situation was working. It's not at all fair to mess things up and leave the burden of fixing it to others, as your response to Andreas suggests. -- Regards, Ssch 12:07, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

The image was deleted because there was no permission. It cannot be used under a free licence. That is why it was deleted. It will not be restored. Cheers! Siebrand 18:57, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Author and source is given. --Yegoyan 18:36, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Please be more precise in providing your source and author. You are also claiming PD-old, but no date of creation and/or date of death of the author is mentioned. Cheers! Siebrand 18:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
It is during 1914-1918 the image creation. --Yegoyan 20:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Heh, I'm not lying :) my source says 1919 and I searched the authors birth date and it said that, and here is his birth date [5] it might be a different person. Also it says the authors name /Hesketh Collection will this work? --ArmeniGen 23:37, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Hi Siebrand. Please delete these three images. Clear copyright violation (Source). My word. Gridge 19:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC).

Certainly, the user have acted in good faith (He's new at the he.wiki). Gridge 19:25, 3 July 2007 (UTC).
The first three images. I think that the rest is fine. Gridge 16:46, 4 July 2007 (UTC).

Sorry

Sorry, I forget put the licensing to Image:Iglesia_de_Santo_Domingo_(Alcazar_del_Rey)-3.jpg and Image:Iglesia_de_Santo_Domingo_(Alcazar_del_Rey)-4.jpg. Now it's right, don't it? Thanks for your warning. --Midir 07:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Soft redirects

Hi Siebrand, I have a question about your recent soft redirects. In cases like Anne_Louise_Germaine_de_Staël, wouldn't a regular redirect be better? Either that or create a new template because {{Category redirect}} doesn't seem fitting. Thanks, Cbrown1023 talk 15:27, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, did I do that? ;) That must have been a mistake. In this case, a regular redirect is indeed better. I changed it (back). Cheers! Siebrand 15:29, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. But O_O, wow, fast reply! :) Cbrown1023 talk 15:47, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Why did you not tell me your were going to delete File:Moka Express 2006-07-14.jpg?

As you can see here, there was no free license for the image. Cheers! Siebrand 18:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

How to add licence

I've realized my mistake when I uploaded the image to Wikipedia, and really want to fix it so the image isn't remvoed. I know the exact licence to use, but am unsure of how to change it. If you can help, that would be delightful.N734LQ 08:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

You appear to have been writing about Image:Party_whistle_on_radio.jpg. Thank you for applying an appropriate license in this edit.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Philip_Hopkins.jpg

is it good ? Thanks a lot... Ddfree 09:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

No, it was unlicensed and too small and had a border. You and Siebrand fixed those defects in subsequent edits and uploads.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Re Hello!

Reply TO-- Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the 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 the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. Siebrand 06:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Your bot welcomed me; I am very familiar with Wikipedia, but I know nothing about Wikimedia Commons, I was wanting to copy my User page from Wikipedia onto Commons template style (like: {{en:wikipedia:User:Tcrow777}}), but that is not working.  Tcrow777  talk  01:12, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

The use of that syntax on Commons is not allowed. Yet. Please see 4547 Enable template inclusion from Commons (transclusion => interwiki templates, etc.) and 1126 Interwiki templates on Bugzilla for more information on doing it in the other direction. The variable that would need to be enabled to do exactly what you want appears to be "$wgEnableScaryTranscluding" on Commons; it is far more likely (IMHO) that "$wgEnableScaryTranscluding" would be enabled on English Wikipedia (for doing it in the other direction with {{commons:User:Tcrow777}} on English Wikipedia). Until that happens, please just copy/paste the wikitext and adjust to fit Commons, as I did. Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:11h016.png and Image:22e169.png

Hi there. I noticed you put some template on these two images that the author/source is missing. If you actually would have read the page, you would have noticed that this information is in the Licensing tag. Source, author and license are all mentioned, so please remove the template. I know the images could have some more meaningfull names. I'll fix that. Van der Hoorn 16:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

A license tag is not a declaration of own work. Please add such a statement in text. Most preferably use {{Information}} to well document your assets. Cheers! Siebrand 18:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
It was there! (Licensing tag asin Licensing caption). Below the actual license template, the information on author, etc. was explicitely mentioned in textual form. Again: _read the page_ before you apply some fancy template.
Van der Hoorn 18:48, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I accept that you took the picture of the statue, but did you also make the statue? If you did not, who made it, and when did they die? The picture appears to have been taken in a museum. What museum? Who owns the statue, if not the museum? How/where/when did they get it? How do they describe the statue? All of this information would be helpful in determining if the statue is still protected by copyright, whether Berne Convention or laws specific to Chile.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 05:20, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Image:466px-Stanisław Kostka Potocki - grobowiec.jpg

Needed information was added, I think the tag can be deleted. Pko 20:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

"466px-" should be removed - that does not apply to the larger image. Also, you need to document the licensing for the underlying work, the actual grave marker. Is it "on the publicly accessible roads, streets, squares or gardens"? Who created it? Please see COM:FOP#Poland. Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 05:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair Use problems in Spanish Wikipedia

Hello Siebrand, I have for long tried to upload images that serve as the main identification for the article Fórum Universal de las Culturas 2007 bu i have encountered the following problems: in the Spanish version of wikipedia, uploading images directly to Wikipedia is impossible, and I get redirected to Commons in spanish version, where there is no Fair Use option on the pull down menu. I am meerel trying to upload images of the event, I AM the owner and creator of those images and have found it very frustrating so far. Please advise, thank you. Armontfort

Hi Armontfort. You can under no circumstances upload media without a free license here. So if you are the copyright holder of the material you have a choice: license it with a free license and use it, and allow others to use it for any purpose, without restrictions, with attributions and/or share-alike, or do not license it and do not use it... There's nothing in between I'm afraid... Cheers! Siebrand 22:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello Siebrand, I have tried to license it with free licenses and it still gets deleted. I have no intention in infringing copyright laws and i have ABSOLUTELY no problem in letting anyone use the image. This has been since the first times, and still no suceess. Cheers, Armontfort
You can use the method as noted on {{No permission}}. Be sure to not mention 'fair use' in your descriptions and give the media a free license (cc-by(-sa), GFDL, FAL or PD). Cheers! Siebrand 22:43, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Guernica/Gernika

Hi, Siebrand Op 28/06 is Cat:Guernica vervangen door Cat:Gernika. Ik heb net een paar foto's opgeladen van Flickr. en ontdek deze verandering. Waar vind ik de diskussie? Om ook maar iets bij te dragen: waarom het algemeen (internationaal) bekende Guernica, wat toch wel voor iets staat, door het meer eng-nationalistische (Baskische) Gernika. Ik begrijp het probleem in Spanje, maar toch niet op Wikimedia Commons Graag een reactie--Gerardus 09:41, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Hoi. Op Wikimedia Commons gebruiken we voor namen van categorieen de Engelstalige namen voor plaatsnamen en woorden. Wil je a.u.b. wat links geven naar de Engelstalige bronnen en de cats zoals ze hier nu staan of zoudne moetne staan? Dan zal ik zorgdragen voor een adequate afhandeling. Groet, Siebrand 11:02, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Siebrand, in de engelstalige wikipedia heet het artikel echt: en:Guernica (town) (evenzo de spaanse wp. es:Guernica) Gernika wordt wel als plaatsnaam gehanteerd in dit artikel maar deze naam is eigenlijk de huidige Baskische variant, die er kennelijk ook bij toeristen wordt ingeheid. Mijn bedoeling met Guernica was een rubriekje te starten
(ondercategorie:Guernica Memorial) met ook beelden van Picasso's muurschildering naar zijn werk Guernica. Wat nu?--Gerardus 11:25, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Ik twijfel niet aan de waarheid van je argumentatie, ik vroeg slechts om bronnen. Ik heb de links zelf aangebracht. Ik zal de categorie hernoemen. Groet, Siebrand 11:31, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Redro, the author mentioned is SERCE (which is not you). As you do not have a user page on which you state Redro is SERCE, I must assume that the two are not the same.

Hello Siebrand,

I, Ioan-Mihai Gale created the image that I submitted and I believwe that accordingly I have submitted the correct licence. I've mentioned that it is one of my works and accordingly I licence it to be freely used, so I don't see why it should be regarded as a candidate to speedy deletion.

Thank you.

Yours truly,

Hi Ioan-Mihai Gale. I was (and am) under the assumption that you have (re)created the logo of an organisation as a derivative work. If that is true, you are not allowed to publish their logo under a free license without their permission.

That assessment appears to be correct. Cheers! Siebrand 09:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Dear all, I have just had a message from User talk:Jeff G. asking me to be specific about where I have the photograph of Sadeq Hedayat ([7]) from. I could tell this, however decline to do so, for the reason that this request has no legal basis; at best the answer to this question will satisfy the curiosity of some individuals and I have no desire to satisfy other people's curiosities just for the sake of appearing helpful or nice. (Most sincerely, I have a personal antipathy against everything that remotely reminds me of the old East-German practices; for those who do not know where I am referring to, please read something about the practices of Stasi ([8]).) As is well-known, Sadeq Hedayat died in 1951 through committing suicide. As far as I am aware, he even died intestate and that is why his writings and his photographs are all over the place. Now, the photograph in question shows Hedayat at arount 1920, some five years before he went to France for the first time. The photograph is made in Tehran and therefore by all international laws its copy-right status falls under the jurisdiction of the Iranian copy-right laws, according to which any photograph taken and published before 1977 is at present public property. It follows that the question regarding the provenance of this particular photograph of Hedayat's is utterly irrelevant (this to my best judgement, and I use "utterly irrelevant" in its purely legal sense, since I am well aware of the fact that this question has what one may call `curiosity value', a substance on which gossip magazines thrive). Aside from this legal matter, suppose that I told that I had this photograph from an individual named X. The immediate question would be "Where had X this photograph from?". Evidently, the sequence of this question, or those such as this, cannot be terminated except by using one's common sense.
Lastly, may I mention one issue which greatly disturbs me? My experiences of the past two weeks on Wikipedia are convincing me that Wikipedia is beginning to turn into a talking shop; the ratio of the amount of time that I have in this period spent on doing something useful on Wikipedia to the amount of time that I have in the same period spent on responding to people's messages, is to a very good approximation equal to zero. If this trend continues, I am affraid that sooner or later I will stop all my activities on Wikipedia --- I strongly believe that all these talks that we are having, interesting as they might be if one had nothing else to do in life, merely amount to creating heat in the virtual space. Let us do what we are here to do, rather than generating pages upon pages of useless texts on the origin of a particular photograph of a man who died over half a century ago! With kind regards, --BF 14:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Further to my above message, for completeness, I joined the "commons" just for the purpose of placing the above message in this page. I was made to do so by the fact that my registration with En.Wikipedia proved not to be sufficient for saving messages on Commons.Wikipedia. My actual page, on En.Wikipedia, is: [9] (there is absolutely nothing interesting to be found on the latter page, however I felt that my explicit reference to my past activities on Wikipedia would otherwise seem vastly inaccurate on discovering that I have been here, on the commons, for no more than an hour).

You appear to like writing long messages. I will be short: we require well sourced media material with a valid free license.

You seem taking too much liberty in addressing people who find this manner of writing disrespectful and inadmissible, but perhaps you are not to blame; you may not know better. On the other hand, you may know better but cannot help showing your true colours in adderssing people who are likely to be brown. In short, you are just an utterly rude (onbeschaafd, als dat jou iets zegt) person and I do not feel this to be a place for me to be in one moment longer. --BF 22:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I read copyright laws in Iran exactly and discovered that there is no need to death of the owner of that picture and copyrights expires just 30 years after publication for some works like photographies and cinema films and... so I boldly remove the tag from the picture. PD is correct in this way. If you are not sure ask others who are familiar with those laws. e.g. en:User:Roozbeh(Who is an admin in en.wiki) or en:User:Behaafarid(an Admin in fa.wiki), I asked Behaafarid to get sure,too.--Soroush83 05:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
I can believe that is true. However, without establishing who the author is (mentioning source), we cannot establish that media have originated from Iran and are under that country's copyright rules. I will check your edits and revert where you removed any tags in error. Cheers! Siebrand 07:00, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for correcting my tags on some pages and ... I'll pay attention on them. But about Hedayat picture I can name the name and pulication or his floating pictures on the web as the source. They are all in PD. I'll find a source for it and others if possible and remove the tag then. Cheers.--Soroush83 09:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello,

The author and copyright status of this image are described in the English Wikipedia, from which I took the photograph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:1_Sergei_800.jpg Here we can read that the author himself uploaded the file. Not being the author, I simply cannot repeat the tag. This is why I wrote As described in the above link, but honestly, I don’t know whether this is the specified formula for such cases. If you could give me further information I would be very grateful. (Sorry for my poor English, this is not my mother tongue) J.M.Domingo 20:55, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

ineligibility for copyright

Hi, I uploaded some files which are ineligible for copyright. I specified the ineligibility using the {{PD-ineligible}} tag and also specified the source (self made and from other wikis). yet you put warnings that the files have no sufficient information and will be deleted.

I don't understand what is wrong! can you please explain?

We require sourcse for every media file we host. You have failed to mention explicite sources. Please add those, so your copyright claims (or the absense of them) can be verified. Cheers! Siebrand 08:30, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

You know what, with all these procedures you are welcome to delete all the files i uploaded. the beautiful thing about wiki projects is that you keep it simple.

CommonsDelinker problem

The delinker just ran ( or is currently still running) a replacement of several duplicate images of flags of Brazilian states. During the process on the Simple wikipedia, while it worked fine with standard image tags, when it edited the page simple:Flags of Brazilian states which shows the images in gallery mode, instead of replacing the old image, it is adding the new image name to the old one (ie. Image:Bandeira de Mato Grosso do Sul.svg is changed to Image:Flag_of_Mato_Grosso_do_Sul.svgBandeira de Mato Grosso do Sul.svg). The image links have been repaired, but I thought it best to alert you to the problem as it could be affecting all wiki's which used Commons. Creol 11:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Coat of arms Simmerath, Germany

Hi,

thank you very much for your hints on the problems. I'm not very known in this license things, but as far as I learned, the coat of arms are free for publishing them in Wikipedia/wikimedia, aren't they? Im also not very known in editing my own user page FZohren. Perhaps you could help me a little? Atthe moment, I'm drawing many coats of arms for cities as SVG, such as for: Simmerath, Monschau, Rees, Kevelaer, Uehlfeld, Kempen, Kerken, Kalkar, Kleve. (you can see them in the german Wikipedia)

Regards, Fabian

Please add at least {{PD-Coa-Germany}} and the license under which you want to release your work (see: Commons:Lizenzen). Furthermore, think about adding appropriate categories.

Hi, I was reassured by the author to may upload the picture to the commons for free and common use, and was sure to have licensed it under GNU. Was this wrong? Kotofeij K. Bajun 03:49, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

(copied from Bajuns talk)I believe the problem is that there is no written permission from the author, qoute: "If you did not create it, you must usually ask the copyright holder for permission to release it under one of the allowed licenses, and the written permission (or a link to it) must also be provided on this page."

Image:Cliomk1 facelift.jpg

Why did you put the tag with instructions to delete the image in both ordinary Wikipedia, and in the one that I didn't add to in Wikipedia Commons? I am asking this as it clearly states on the image licencing on the original Wikipedia image that I created this jpg image, therefore it doesn't need any further source information!!

Please respond to this comment on [Wikipedia user page] as soon as you read this message, and can you also clearly explain what is wrong with the licencing information already in use. Dreamweaverjack 22:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

As I had created this image, would it be alright to use the {{GFDL-self}} tag to show that I am the owner of the copyright for this, and all of the images of vehicles that I have uploaded? Please respond to my user-talk page if you have any further questions that you would like answered by me. Thanks Dreamweaverjack 23:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
In principle all free licenses a copyright holder gives are fine here. The problem was that you hadn't claimed copyright in the required way by explicitely stating the photograph was own work. This can be done by adding 'own work', 'I made this photograph' or a similar small sentence. In the above paragrpahs you have, so there is no problem ;) My tagging was primarily triggered by the small dimension of the image and it's fairly professional setup; I was thinking it might be a case of copyfraud.

CommonsDelinker

Hi Siebrand, I wonder if you can help me. A user from pt.wikipedia inapropriately tagged some brazilian flags as duplicate images. It was inappropriate because he just reuploaded the same flags with a different name and attributing himself as the copyright owner (he's been severely repreended for this). He didn't think when he did what he did (obviously), and CommonsDelinker has been substituting those images for almost six days on pt.wikipedia (and some other projects), even after I reverted the duplicate tagging here on Commons.

I wonder if this can be stopped. It's flooding our recent changes, so we gave it bot flag temporarily, or else it's impossible to control vandalism.I thought it had stopped delinking today but I just saw an edit doing the same wrong substitution :(. Can you help us somehow? We're running a bot to correct all of those inappropriate changes, but if CommonsDelinker goes and re-revert it... ack. PatríciaR msg 15:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Geez. Good thing that you are saying so. Too bad it's only now... There is a naming convention for flags here, that states (although not enforced, but encouraged, flags should be named 'Flag of LOCATION'. So if someone marks some flag as duplicate and the target media is named 'by convention', I usually fire the replace command. Reverting this is kindof hard. It has not only been replaced on pt.wp, but on ALL Wikimedia projects. I think we should discuss what do to. I would be inclined to say that we go ahead with the rename, unless this would cause technical difficulties on the pt.wp side. Please let me know... Cheers! Siebrand 16:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
The flags had license issues, since the user just reuploaded them with whichever licenses existed before (putting himself sometimes as the copyright owner of the svg derivative). This was of course unacceptable. Most the previous flags are named "Bandeira de xxx", which is a perfectly acceptable name ("Flag of xxx" in Portuguese), were well licensed and sourced, which didn't always happen with the new ones, and there was no reason whatsoever to change this.
Most of the changes were done on two to three pt projects, and it's rather simple to correct this there with bots. The other Wikimedia projects won't suffer so much flooding with CommonsDelinker reverse tagging, as far as I could tell.
Yes, it's a bloody mess. PatríciaR msg 16:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
I see that some of the flags have now been tagged duplicate back to the old version. I'll process those and let's hope the local project won't curse us for being amateurs in this case. Thanks for the help. Cheers! Siebrand 16:32, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
