Hi, Thanks for your work but can you give your files a usefull name please? Walter 18:00, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I guess I can. I just decided earlier to retain the original name, and copy+paste the info from the original website. --Hautala 12:59, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Hautala. I've been wondering if you could get a satellite image of Peru. I couldn't find a single one still. Thanks --Guillermo Romero 05:50, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I will try to get an image of every country. Unfortunately, my progress has been halted, because my most important source of satellite images, NASA's Visible Earth, is down. --Hautala 12:17, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Satellite images

First, let me thank you for liking the satellite images I made!

To create them, I used "World Wind", the NASA developped satellite picture vizualisation program, which is nice enough to use public domain shots. I saved two screenshots, one with country borders drawn, one without. I merged them in a graphics editor (I used Photoshop, but any would do), using borders to select which parts had to be shadowed.

Doing so isn't really hard and provides good results. — Poulpy 22:16, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. Sounds very inventive. --Hautala 16:22, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

resolution

You asked why this pic has a bad resolution - it's just because I am a photographer and I don't it this to be abused. So I put on the wikicommon logo to identify it as the only "common" version. A bigger one, copyrighted, is here - join it: Panorama Silvretta - regards, Mg-k 08:54, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Image:Finland coa.png

Onko sinulla jotain lähdettä, minkä perusteella vaakunan värit tulisi olla juuri tuollaiset kuin lisäämässäsi kuvassa? Kuva näyttää suttuiselta ja sen alareunassa on pieni nimikirjoitus tai muu teksti. Värit ovat sameat, vaikka heraldiikan sääntöjen mukaan niiden tulisi olla kirkkaat. Yleensä kulta korvataan kuvissa keltaisella eikä harmaanruskealla. Jos alkuperäisen vaakunan värit olivat mielestäsi väärät, olisi ehkä parempi muuttaa niitä kuvankäsittelyohjelmalla ja tallentaa sitten alkuperäinen vaakuna uudelleen. Tämän sivun mukaan vaakunan värit ovat enemmän alkuperäisen kuvan mukaiset. Muutenkaan ei ole tapojen mukaista palauttaa toisen palautusta ilman keskustelua asiasta. –Vzb83 20:39, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Myös tasavallan presidentin sivujen mukaan värit ovat sellaiset kuin aiemmassa versiossa. –Vzb83 21:15, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Kuva on pöllitty sivulta [1]. Alareunan suttu jäi minulta huomaamatta. Mutta ajattelin, että kun se on sisäasiainministeriön sivu, niin ne tietää paremmin kuin koko muu Internet (kaikki muut sivut tosiaan käyttävät keltaista Suomen vaakunassa). Minusta tuo vain näyttää hienommalta, mutten palauta enää. --Hautala 22:59, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

please help others to find your images

Hello - 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 either place the images on topic pages (galleries) or put the images directly into a category, or do both. To find good categories for your images, the CommonsSense tool may help.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There is 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. -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 22:39, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually I thought I had done so. If this is about the recent mass upload of Finnish coats of arms, they all should belong to Category:PD Coa Finland through the specific Template:PD-Coa-Finland. I agree with everything you said, but please point out specific problem images, and I promise I'll get to work. --Hautala 12:12, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Topic categories are generally different from license-categories... I would have expected those images directly under Category:Finnish coats of arms, because splitting a topic category by license does not make much sense to me. Anyway, since Category:PD Coa Finland can be found under Category:Finnish coats of arms, it's not a huge problem. But I still think license categories should be kept separate from topic categories.

Anyway, thanks for contributing! -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 13:28, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I edited the template to the category you pointed out, but I understand this doesn't immediately remove the problem. --Hautala 13:34, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Hm, now there's no longer any license category in the template. Either Category:PD Coa Finland should be in there, or that category should be discarded and Category:Public domain used instead. -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 13:45, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Category:Diagrams_of_road_signs_of_Finland

Hi Hautala! I noticed that you uploaded some svg graphics which depict Finnish traffic signs after I read your question at Village pump. The thing ist, that you actualley are not creating real vector graphics at the moment. What you're doing is embedding pixel images into a svg (vector) file (you can recognize it by the pixel steps of the outlines). I believe that your source (wmf) files are badly drawn (typical for wmf) so that it's no real advantage to make svg files of them. I'd suggest redrawing them as I did it for an example with Image:571.svg if it isn't too diffcult. I'd like to look at one of these wmf files if possible. Greetings, Madden 20:28, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I was suspecting something like that. The WMF source files are at [2]. If you like, please try [3]. --Hautala 14:03, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, the WMF and AI files have very bad vector quality. But the graphics inside those PDFs at this page are well drawn. We can use them. Which do you need? --Madden 19:41, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

For some reason scaling of Image:Tietyö 142.svg doesnt work.

see?

That effects fi:Template:Korjattava --Tomia 12:02, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's strange. I got this problem some times yet. I think, the image "needs time". See here, it works fine in [4].

Diagrams of the traffic signs number 573 and 574 (entering and exiting a living street) are needed in Finnish Wikipedia. Many others might be useful in the future, at least number 189 (other hazard). (I've tried Inkscape but just can't get it to do what I want to) --Hautala 11:20, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Alright. Scaling works now. I saved it with Inkscape this time, maybe the code was bad. If I got time I'll upload as many signs as possible. Madden 13:06, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

BTW inkscape can open those .ai files in tiehallinto pages. There is lots of objects inside, but its easy to use that for guide for new drawing. (or delete and join paths) --Tomia 23:13, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the AI files are as bad as the WMF files. But the vector files inside the PDFs are alright and useable! So, no redraw is necessary. Madden 15:07, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Coat of Arms of Harlu

Hei, olet lisännyt commonsiin kuvan luovutetulla alueella sijainneen Harlun kunnan vaakunan [5]. Mistä kuvatiedosto on peräisin? Ja onko käytetty lisenssi varmasti oikein? fi-wikissä Mikko Paananen on sitä mieltä että luovutetun alueen kuntien vaakunoiden kohdalla ei voida käyttää tuota lisenssiä, koska vaakunat eivät ole kuntien virallisesti käyttöönottamia. Ainakin Antrean [6] ja Tytärsaaren [7] vaakunoiden kohdalla tuo lisenssi on asetettu kyseenalaiseksi ja ne tullaan poistamaan tekijänoikeusrikkomuksina. --Kyzyl 10:03, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello Hautala,

the following content you uploaded is not free and therefore has been or will soon be deleted:

Image:Coca-Cola logo.svg

The Wikimedia Commons (this website) only hosts media files which can be used for any purpose, including:

• use in any work, regardless of content
• creation of derivative works
• commercial use
• free distribution

See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on the Wikimedia Commons. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on the Wikimedia Commons: "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.

Please make sure that you only upload works you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial to understanding how the Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions. --Szczepan talk  17:36, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello, pen pal Hautala, You have in my and Tappisen opinions marked this Metsäkurjenpolvi being false as G. sanguineum which is Verikurjenpolvi in Finnish.

Half-Life Cover

Hello, I've uploaded the half-life image from the english version of the article. The image on the english version has '{game-cover}' under licensing. I tried to put the same line under my image, but it didn't work. Therefore I put another one under my image, so... wich license do I have to put under my image? TheScorpion 13:10, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately game covers cannot be kept in Wikimedia Commons. The Commons is for free images only — therefore, because game, book and other covers are almost always copyrighted works with all rights reserved, they must be saved in Wikipedia and used by fair use regulations. --Hautala 16:02, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh ok, I get it now.. I have to upload it locally.. Thanks!

But I have one problem: since the image is a game cover means I have to use the game cover license. The dutch wikipedia has a few licenses, but they have no license called 'game-cover'. On the english wikipedia they have every license.. What license do I have to choose now? TheScorpion 17:03, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Your UN Maps

The Map that you have uploaded of supposedly North Africa is an inaccurate representation of North Africa. The Map provided by the UN was designed for statistical reasons and as the UN itself states, is not meant to be used for geographical, political or cultural references or explanations. It is unfortunate, however, that Wikipedian users are using these maps for the very reasons the UN warns against applying. You would do well to research these maps via the UN website and amend your mistake, as it is being used by ignorant people to rewrite history and geography. Sudan, a sub-saharan Black country, although today included in the Arab World, is NOT a North African country. North Africa means Mediterranean and only includes Morocco to Egypt.

Puolustusvoimien tunnus

Hei, korvasin Inkscapellä Suomen puolustusvoimien tunnuksen leijonan punertavan keltaisen värin keltaisella (heraldisesti kultaisella), mutta syystä tai toisesta svg-tiedosto ei avaudu suoraan sen paremmin Windowsin kuvaselaustoiminnossa kuin Wikipediassakaan.
Oikean keltainen (kultainen) väri esiintyy myös puolustusvoimien kotisivuilla, puolustusvoimien lehdessä Ruotuväessä olevassa puolustusvoimien tunnuksessa sekä maavoimien tunnustiedostossa ja merivoimien tunnustiedostossa. Tämä keltainen (kultainen) väri perustuu tietenkin Suomen vaakunan leijonan väriin.

On myös niin, että puolustusvoimien tunnustiedostossa myös tornin punainen väri on liian tumma, kun sitä vertaa puolustusvoimain ja Ruotuväen kotisivuilla esiintyvien tunnusten kuin myös Suomen vaakunan punaiseen pohjaväriin.
Voinet siis asiaan vihkiytyneenä auttaa muuttaen leijonan ja taustavärin oikeaksi (tarkkaan ottaen myös tiedoston nimen pitäisi olla Suomen puolustusvoimien tornileijona.svg eli puolustusvoimat pienellä alkukirjaimella). Lämmin kiitos jo etukäteen.

Terve Hautala! I am writing this message to you because you uploaded the file mentioned above in 2006. There is a problem with the Southern border (there are two lines envolving three islands (Lennox, Nueva and Picton): they are part of a Chilean province).

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Pay attention to licensing

Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. File:Ukrainestubmap.png seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file. If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.
