File source is not properly indicated: File:Obama gay halo.jpg
[edit]This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Obama gay halo.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Obama gay halo.jpg]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter 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! |

Copyright status: File:Same-sx xmen wedding.jpg
[edit]This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Same-sx xmen wedding.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. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) 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. |

File:Same-sx xmen wedding.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Unfortunately, that file seems to contain little or no real vector data, but instead a bunch of embedded PNGs. In such cases, it's really best to just upload as a PNG file, because an SVG-of-embedded-PNGs will display lousy at most resolutions, and will not be too good for many of the purposes that SVGs are supposed to be useful for. AnonMoos (talk) 00:59, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- I did several fixes on the PNG (File:Religions 4x5.png), but the SVG is kind of messed up, and is not easy to fix or worth fixing in its current form (multiple embedded PNGs with no real vector data). AnonMoos (talk) 18:37, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
If you put an uploader's own speedy deletion request on File:Religions diverse 4×5.png, then that file can be quickly disposed of... AnonMoos (talk) 18:42, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
Re: Your very latest message -- no one without admin powers can directly delete a file, but if you put an uploader's own speedy deletion request on the SVG, it can also be quickly disposed of... AnonMoos (talk) 18:45, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
Deleting
[edit]I'm not an admin (just a "filemover"), so I can't delete. Just go to File:Religions diverse 4×5.png and File:Diverse religions 4×5.svg, and edit both the description pages to include {{Speedydelete|1=Uploader request}} at the top. There may be fancier ways of doing it, but that should work. AnonMoos (talk) 19:45, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Denominations map
[edit]It could be useful if there are consistent criteria for which useful data is available. Of course something such as being a Sufi isn't incompatible with other affiliations, so it's hard to say that Sufism is a "denomination" in any meaningful sense (and being affiliated to a specific order is probably more meaningful to many people than broad general "Sufism" in any case). It would probably be much better to use a categorization found in an external source than to try to personally improvise something... AnonMoos (talk) 16:37, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
