Thank you for "discovering" so many of my photos. #8D) I had a great time traveling in Turkey in 2009, and I'm very happy to see the photos from my trip being used in the Turkish Wikipedia!

File:One For The Road Cover.png

Hello,

I think we probably need a written permission sent to OTRS for this file, since there is no mention of a free license of the source website. Thanks, Yann (talk) 06:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

But there is. I've added the link to it, see Commons page and http://bjornfree.com/licensing.html . Issue resolved, I supposed. Thanks for indicating the missing information. Uspn (talk) 22:26, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Unfortunately, the site says You may not use this work for commercial purposes. which is not sufficient for Wikimedia Commons. All documents uploaded here should be available for any purpose, including commercial. Regards, Yann (talk) 06:29, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

There's an amendment regarding the low-resolution version of the cover page, "A facsimile of the cover is available for free use of any kind, including commercial purposes". I hope the Commons are happy now. Uspn (talk) 16:29, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

I think it is OK now. Thanks a lot. Yann (talk) 10:34, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

File:Istanbul 2009 Comnenus Mosaics.JPG

Hi, I removed the category because all pics in "Hagia Sophia (Istanbul) - Komnenos mosaics" category are already a classified as subcategory of "Ionnes II Komnenos", as you can see here. I don't understand why whe should maintain your pic there when all the others are in the subcategory. Would you care to explain? Thx! José Luiz ^disc 01:03, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, for some reason I couldn't see the new category yesterday, but now I see it. I've removed the unnecessary category again. Thank you, J! #8D) Uspn (talk) 06:05, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

No problem at all. This sort of thing happens! Thank you. José Luiz ^disc 09:31, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Uspn!

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.

Thank You for the Wikipedia Pictures

Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware pictures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cradle_Mountain_Behind_Dove_Lake.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tuthankhamun_Egyptian_Museum.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Banjul-King-Fahad-Mosque-2007.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tikal-Plaza-And-North-Acropolis.jpg). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm

Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.

Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely,  Duane Hurst in Utah, USA

Kelp Photo in Australia

Hello, Would you know the species of the brown algae-kelp that is featured on the wikipedia article, known as Phycology?

I would like to edit the photo with name of kelp species, and date and place of photo with your name as photographer.

I know that Giant Kelp of California is also known in Australia. Macrocystis spp.

I'm from California.

Hi Roy. Sorry, I'm not a kelp expert. I can only tell you the exact location for where the photo was taken. It's in Hazards Bay, Freycinet National Park, Tasmania, Australia. The water there is cold, so that may leave out a few species from the equation. The photo was taken in December 2008. Sorry I can't help out much. 139.112.164.68 11:16, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

File tagging File:Curieuse Island Map.JPG

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Curieuse Island Map.JPG. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Curieuse Island Map.JPG]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
