Image Tagging Image:Trophy.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Trophy.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

File:Huygen probe-decent nasa.jpg

File:Huygen probe-decent nasa.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. If you created this file, 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. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Davodd!

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.

File source is not properly indicated: File:Churubusco map.png

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Churubusco map.png, 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!

Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests#File:Churubusco_map.png

I obviously offended you at the subject UnDR, for which I apologize.

Please understand that Commons has a net increase of about 7,500 pages a day and we delete about 1,400 pages a day. That means that about 16% of all new uploads are deleted (1,400/(1,400+7,500)). Only about 1/10 of 1% of those deletions are reversed on appeal, so most, although not all, of the remainder are probably valid deletions. Inexperienced users are particularly prone to misunderstanding our requirements, so while we assume good faith as a matter of policy, it has its limits.

Such misunderstanding is particularly common with maps -- many people do not understand or choose to ignore that a map has a copyright. So, as I said in the UnDR, it is very unusual to see a new map created from scratch, particularly in the USA, where good base maps, including those from the Federal Government and OSM, are readily available.

Although you have been a Commons contributor for a long time -- longer than me -- I noted that you had only 80 some edits here. I therefore think it was quite reasonable of me to have asked for a little more explanation from you. Simply responding that you were a frequent contributor to OSM would have been enough. Alternately, I would have been happy with a simple assertion that yes, indeed, you did create the map yourself from scratch.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 02:12, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
