Image Tagging Image:Sc250.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Sc250.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-3.0}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license 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. --Filnik 17:00, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:Bow Draw.svg

Hi Avaron. Why did you remove some category? How do you have intentions? I think these are needs for Image:Bow Draw.svg. Please show me your any ideas. _Fukutaro 16:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I want to clean up some things there. The main categories arre Archery, Bow, and Arrows. "Bow and arrow" is a very strange category and it should become a redirect. The image you mention are the differet kinds of holding an arrow. Only one of them is used in Kyudo (which is a subcategory of archery). Yumi ist the japanese bow, so the cat was unnecesary.

I saw you reverted my first change; normaly I would ask you why, but I have changed many Images now, so I didn't notice. --Avron 17:42, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah, indeed. It was certain a bit distractively category(s) page(s). Now on you did, It's clearly showing for people who finding and needs images. Thanks for explanation, and sorry for jump to a wrong conclusion. :) _Fukutaro 12:49, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:NASA Apollo 17 Lunar Roving Vehicle.png

Hi Avron, you have tagged this image as dupe of this image. The question is, however, if these images are indeed identical as the uploader of the second image has claimed that he edited it. Please take a look at this discussion. If these two images are not identical but one of them is redunddant it is possible to file one of them for a regular deletion process. A speedy deletion is for obvious cases only and because of this I've removed this tag. Thanks for your support and best wishes, AFBorchert (talk) 15:08, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't see a differece in this pictures. The uploader of the "edited" image should say what modification was made.--Avron (talk) 20:07, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I saw this change. Did you see the guesthouse (lodging) where this satellite dish was located also had internet by satellite?

I was curious how you knew this was a TV satellite dish, not an internet satellite dish?

Renaming categories

Hi Avron, please don't use {{Category redirect}} to get categories renamed. You should use {{Move}} like this. Thank you, Multichill (talk) 16:18, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

kannst du es bitte so ändern das es verstanden wird. weil da entschliesst man sich die familienbiographie der öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen, - da es sich immerhin um ein mitglied des deutschen reichtages, gauleiter,kreisleiter handelt - und wenn ich dann einen zeitungsartikel aus einem alten naziblatt in deutschland finde und es in österreich der geschichtswissenschaft als wertvolle quelle zur verfügung stelle wird bemängelt, das ich nicht der autor sein kann. nonaned.

File:Familyvanharen.jpg up for deletion

Avron -

Please do not take down this photo. I have already been through this several times a couple months ago with DJ Clayworth, and we went through the proper back and forth to discern that it has the proper copyright and is OK to be up. This is an old family photo of Arthur and his father that was uploaded by his grandson who worked with me to create this page. Please let me know what else I need to do in order for this picture to stop getting flagged.

Thanks.

This picture lacks a propper discripiton and categorization. Pictures in wikipedia must be realistically useful for an educational purpose. It is not used anywhere so I don't know what you mean with to create this page --Avron (talk) 09:46, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

West Gate Towers, Westgate and new categories

Hi Avron. Thanks for reorganising the categories. In case you decide to do any more in this area, some information may help you. Westgate is a civic ward in Canterbury with 3 councillors here serving an area with shops, houses and people as well as the city gate, so the views from the city gate (usually called The Westgate) are of Westgate too. West Gate Towers Museum is the military museum which has been inside the building for 100 years. The Westgate (city gate) includes its own bridge across the River Stour, and views along the River Stour at this point are in the area of Westgate.

So it's safest not to remove the category "Canterbury, West Gate" from any of these, even though you have written it as two words, when it should be one word. Sorry it's so confusing. I was away this weekend, otherwise I should have seen all your hard work and would have explained earlier. I think I have now checked every image which you re-categorised, and brought back all my images into the two categories "Westgate Museum" and "Canterbury West Gate". The one with Canterbury Cathedral includes some of Westgate, too.--Storye book (talk) 00:32, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. For the category name, I used the naming which is used on the official homepage [2]. If other name is better, so use Template:Category redirect for renaming.--Avron (talk) 13:15, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:110th-Figher-Interceptor-Squadron-ADC-MO-ANG.png

Hi. You left a note on my talk page that this file is insufficiently sourced.

When I uploaded it; I stated that it is a scan of a United States Army Air Forces patch from World War II. These are government images, which are all in the public domain.

Good see that you are using Commons Commander. If you need help, tell me. -- User:Docu at 19:24, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

I had a problem when I searched "Valiant Shield 2007" and wanted to add to the Category:Valiant Shield 2007. I added all results (117) but the page didn't scroll to the end, and you can't scroll by yourself (no scrollbar). So I coudn't press OK. It worked only when I selected fewer thumbs.--Avron (talk) 19:28, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

It works if you use tab. It tends to timeout/get stuck with larger selections and special characters, but overall I think it's handy. -- User:Docu at 19:30, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Found another bug: When I try add "Northern Edge 2009" to category, only 29 were inserted, but 45 found.--Avron (talk) 19:59, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Sometimes it stops after a couple of pages and there is no way to add the remaining ones. I'm not really sure why, maybe a charset question. -- User:Docu at 20:02, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Underway replenishment

Hi,

I noticed you are re-organizing the subcategories. Just wondering, doesn't "Alongside connected replenishment" apply almost all subcategories of current "Underway replenishment" (except vertical/astern)? -- User:Docu at 15:50, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello, according to en:Underway replenishment there are 3 major methods: Alongside connected replenishment, Astern fueling and Vertical replenishment. I tried to make it this way.--Avron (talk) 17:45, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

I'd rather leave it in the present way. Astern and vertical already have their own subcategories. Besides that, for fuel there is also a specific subcategory. Fuel can be either alongside or astern. Vertical is frequently done with connected, but I'd avoid attempting to make additional subcategories showing the two in combination (or maybe not?). The subcategories for vertical could obviously be expanded. -- User:Docu at 17:59, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Due to the fact that astern and vertical replenishment already have their own subcategories, it is important to to show that there are 3 methods. Fuel can be either alongside or astern yes. Material can be either vertical or alongside. Vertical is frequently done with connected maybe, but the method is compleatly different.--Avron (talk) 18:15, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

I think you can already identify astern and vertical with the current categories, but if you feel like doing it, happy sorting. Just keep in mind that the images should attempt to illustrate the method. -- User:Docu at 18:23, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

OZM images

Sorry but I don't understand the reason you asked for these three images to be deleted, I know I have incorrectly uploaded images I should have not in the past, mostly because I was still new. If I understood, it seems that I have uploaded a different image, but this is the same image of the one on en:wikipedia, and it doesn't seem to be a copyviol. But maybe I have not understood your explanation, could you rephrase it please? Thanks, --Amendola90 (talk) 17:39, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

This images aren't old (over 70 years) so there must be a copyright-holder. It is very unlikely that the uploader (Ak70g2) in en:wikipedia is the copyright-holder. Two of the images are high professional images and this user has uploaded several copyvios. So the images probably aren't under the creative commons license.--Avron (talk) 11:25, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, I had misunderstood your explanation. For as much as I know, you're free to cancel them, I just transferred them on Commons for the page on the Italian Wikipedia. --Amendola90 (talk) 17:10, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

File tagging File:Wiki thesealights.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Wiki thesealights.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:Wiki thesealights.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

I uploaded this photo to illustrate the use of a wide-angle (24mm.) lens in portrait photography. I could amplify this on the file description ie.sense of place,immediacy,correct angle to avoid distortion and so on. As an example I could write "The subject as an element in the scene, which wide-angle allows makes an extremely evocative portrait conveying far more of character than just a picture of the sitter but these lenses are not recommended for portrait work.

Copyright status: File:AKWs Africa.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:AKWs Africa.png. 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.

Hi, wegen [5] - das HCAR ist eine stark modifzierte Version des BAR. Insofern war das nicht falsch. --Markscheider (talk) 09:40, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:ChiefOfNavalOperationsSeal.png

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:ChiefOfNavalOperationsSeal.png, 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:ChiefOfNavalOperationsSeal.png]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. 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!

Question about naming for Marine units

Hi!! Was uploading a few images that had marines in them and noticed that the unit's name didn't have a comma. Normally I wouldn't care about that too much but when looking for their categories, I usually type "2nd Battalion," and then search for the regiment. The comma helps differentiate it from all the other "2nd battalion"s out there and most of the official literature usually uses a comma for their name. I noticed that a lot of the categories in Wikimedia for the marines don't have the comma (or the comma-included name redirects to the non-comma version) and was wondering why. Just curious and I don't wanna break any systems in place if they're done that way for a reason. Jasonkwe (talk) (contribs) 18:26, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

I think also there should be a comma so "1st Battalion, 2nd Marines". en.wiki has comma [6], the official side also [7]Avron (talk) 11:15, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

File:160414-N-QF605-124 (26412609076).jpg

Regarding that file it appears to show marines of more nationalities than any other photograph on commons. That would make it helpful in the Category:Marines https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Marines It would be easy to find there and could then be included in the article Marines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marines or the Naval infantry section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy#Naval_infantry of the Navy article.

That file is in the Category:United States Marine Corps which is not the only possibility or as specific as it could be. You could instead add any of these categories https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:People_of_the_United_States_Marine_Corps https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:United_States_military_in_Gabon this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:United_States_Marine_Corps_in_foreign_countries this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:United_States_Navy_images_from_Gabon and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Libreville_in_the_2010s What do you think?
