[edit]
|
Thanks for uploading Image:Ford_Consul_Capri.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 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.

[edit]Hi,
When making edits like this, please ensure no information is lost. In that case, that means ensuring the replacement category also contains the civil parish category (as I have done here).--Nilfanion (talk) 09:19, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Congratulations
[edit]Hi, congratulations with the finishing of the categorization of the Geograph files! Jcb (talk) 15:47, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
Unidentified locations
[edit]Please consider this. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 13:01, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
Undentified country
[edit]Regarding this and this edit: Location is still unidentified. Images are categorized by the operator of the buses, no need to add category of the home city of the operator – it is overcategorization. However, the photo was apparently not taken in Prostějov, nor even in Czechia. Probably, it was taken somewhere in the UK, according to the road marking, left-hand traffic and signs on the buses. --ŠJů (talk) 18:06, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
{{Duplicate}} contrary to all customs and common sense
[edit]Revision of File:DO-TALK-READ-WRITE.svg
Do you know what SVG is and why is it present here? How many SVGs did you tag as duplicates for raster images?
Please, don’t make me regret that I lobbied your autopatrolled status on Commons. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 09:57, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
Categorías incorrectas
[edit]Estimado usuario, por favor, tener precaución al momento de categorizar archivos. Esta imagen es de la localidad de Maipú (Argentina), sin embargo, usted la categorizó como si fuera de Maipú (Chile). Lo mismo hizo con esta otra foto. Revierto ambas. Saludos. Jorge Barrios (talk) 23:48, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
You moved them into category M 030 that does not exist. I have put the photos into CategoryːMaipú, Mendoza. Malcolma (talk) 10:36, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Requesting for help
[edit]I see that you have encyclopedic knowledges and you are working with uncategorised files. I am also systematically working with category:All media needing categories as of 2015. It would be nice if you help with these uncategorised files (out of Commons' scope can be also the option):

[edit]Thanks for your help nominating uncategorized files for deletion. Not sure if you use it already but you might want to try Visual File change, which lets you nominate multiple files uploaded by a user, using the Perform Batch Task option. Ajax Quick Delete and Quick Delete are also useful. You can find them under Gadgets under Preferences Gbawden (talk) 10:03, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Please note in the policy that different file types are not duplicates. The policy is not trying to constrain the range or variations on an image, it is strictly looking exact duplicates. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:38, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oops, missed that they were diferent file types. Malcolma (talk) 11:30, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Deletion nomination
[edit]This is K3G96, and was notified yesterday that this photo that I uploaded with the permission of Peggy Hall-Lofties was nominated for deletion, and I was wondering why is that? Thanks. 2600:1700:9575:D450:29ED:3D3A:C09A:4E4D 19:38, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- The description gives no information of why she is significant apart from being someone's daughter. The categories give no help.

Removal of categories from photo
[edit]Concerning this edit, was there any particular reason for this? I'm confused, because there was no explanation given for the edit, and there didn't seem to be anything inaccurate about them. 😕
TrollDecker (talk) 11:50, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- It's over categorisation. There is no need for them.
- Malcolma (talk) 11:53, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- Ah, okay, fair enough. 🙂

8 year old image
[edit]Hi. Unless it is bleeding obvious, I think that it is better to put eight year old images through DR consensus discussion rather than speedy deletion processes of one admin. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:40, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
cat fix
[edit]Hello! I've seen your edit Revision of 658745815. You're right, the category is wrong for this image. I've replaced it by a better category. It's always better to set a better category instead of only removing categories. --XRay 💬 09:48, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi, Do not create invalid speedy deletions. Thanks, Yann (talk) 11:40, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Please note that Category:Ichneumon is for one particular genus and is not synonymous with "Ichneumon Wasp" and should not be applied to the majority of "Ichneumon Wasp" images. These rather belong under Category:Ichneumonidae, where they can be properly identified by an expert. This file that you categorized under Ichneumon isn't even a member of the same subfamily. While it's good to tackle uncategorized images, it's important to make sure that they're properly identified to make sure that you're not accidentally perpetuating misinformation on a site viewed by millions if not billions of people.

Category:Dalkeith House
[edit]The images you are placing in Category:Dalkeith House, located in Western Australia, should probably be in Category:Dalkeith Palace, don't you think? Calistemon (talk) 00:22, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Fixed once I had a bit of spare time. Calistemon (talk) 07:24, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry about that, noted for any future uncategorized photos of the palace/house. Malcolma (talk) 11:47, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

They all look fine to me. Multichill (talk) 19:03, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Because when I looked at them they were all blank files. They seem now somehow to have resurected themselves. Malcolma (talk) 09:51, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for categorising this photo. But please be more wary - this one has a source that has no CC license. In future please tag it so it can be addressed and deleted Gbawden (talk) 09:56, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Please see Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/09/Category:American radio programs. You made this a subcat of that, but the distinction escapes me. - Jmabel ! talk 00:05, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
