Hello, Keyan20!
 
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.

Categories

edit

Hi, I saw you adding categories to File:Rajinikanth 2010 - still 113555 crop.jpg. Those are not necessary because the image is already in Category:Rajinikanth, which already includes those categories (or at least those that are not top-level categories, which should not be used for an image anyway). Regards Hekerui (talk) 11:17, 2 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please see COM:OVERCAT for why I reverted you. You are adding categories that are parent categories of categories already included. This clutters the page. Please don't add all categories you can come up with to pages. Hekerui (talk) 12:48, 2 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Images

edit

You claim to have taken yourself the following images: File:Jayalalitha Early Star.JPG, File:Ilayaraaja the Maestro.jpg, File:Kamal with sivaji.jpg and more. These look like promo shots and an old black and white image from the 1960s, have you really clicked them yourself? Hekerui (talk) 12:56, 2 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I made a mistake on Vijayakanth. Please anyone finding it do not take it seriously. Try to overcome that. Sorry for this mistake from my side.

Hi everyone. I uploaded this image since I saw these available in Wiki Commons and it looked very clear these images was taken by an individual (probably by self Camera) & he added it. So I took myself that it should be free to use & must not have any copyright concerns. This is the only reason on which I added them. Mainly on Actor Vijay image I discussed with User:Sodabottle & he also felt it can be added. But now each of these are questioned for copyright issues I have nothing to do. Please act accordingly & as per each issues merit & doubts. Forgive me for any problem that I might have caused you guys on this. Thanks!!! ---- Ungal Veetu Pillai 04:55, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Re: Image (commons) deletion request placed by you !!

edit

The previous reason for keeping File:Iitm maingate logo.jpg was that India has freedom of panorama, which is irrelevant to the fact that there is no source provided for this image. How can you know that that image and en:File:Nitt.adblock.jpg are the works of their uploaders when you are not either of the uploaders? The usage of an image on none, one or many articles is irrelevant when there is no source provided for the image. --Geniac (talk) 02:04, 3 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have already informed the uploaders, by posting to their talk pages. Yes, citing the reason that an image doesn't have a source stated and deleting it if one isn't provided certainly is "the right way". Whether or not an uploader is presently active is irrelevant. Whether they are of high resolution or not is irrelevant. I did not claim the images have been downloaded from a website. How can you say they "must be" taken by the uploader when you are not the uploader? The deletion process already allows time for a source to be provided. I already have made efforts to get the source from the uploaders, by posting to their talk pages. --Geniac (talk) 04:13, 4 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Re: Help

edit

Hi Ungal Vettu Pillai, because this Flickr account has hosted copyright violations in the past it takes specific evidence of permission from the author for the image to stay on. This means that you could write a message to the Flickr user and ask him to give you a "Declaration of consent for all enquiries". This is all exlained in detail on Commons:OTRS. A high resolution alone is no proof that the image was legally obtained by the Flickr user. Regards Hekerui (talk) 07:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC)Reply


Your uploads referring to India : Categorisation

edit

Hi, please use useful categories and don't over-categorize your images, i.e. please do not categorize your uploads (an example of your recent activity):

Category:Udhagamandalam + (= obsolete)
Category:Geography of Udhagamandalam +
Category:Landscapes of Tamil Nadu + (= obsolete as "Geography of U.." = "Landscapes ...")
Category:Mountains of Tamil Nadu (= p.e. non-categorized 'mountains' )

You'll help to save time and capacity on commons by categorizing:

Category:Geography of Udhagamandalam and for example Category:Mountains of Tamil Nadu)

Please use as far as possible the category of the regarding city/town/village or district (if there's no category) etc., or, a localized better 'fitting' i.e. the 'most fitting"' category(ies). Do not add - in addition - the categories of the "parent category", among them cities, states and countries etc.

For further information on categories please read Commons:Categories referring to an accurate categorisation, simplifying your further uploads and categorisation in general. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the commons:help desk.

Thank you for your assistance, Roland 18:03, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

This media was probably deleted.
Thanks for uploading File:Perarignar Anna.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:Perarignar Anna.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
