User talk:Humus sapiens~commonswiki
Thank you for providing images to the commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on the commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:
- Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
- State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly.
- If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
- Add a Copyright tag - images without a appropriate license tag will be deleted.
- Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate Categories, so it can be found by others.
If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki.
It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.
Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more Information, have a look at Commons:Licensing, Commons:criteria for inclusion and the Community Portal. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the village pump. Thank you. -- Duesentrieb 09:37, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Israeli stamp copyrights
[edit]Hi, do you have a source you can cite for the public-domain status of Israeli stamps? Most countries these days are pretty possessive about stamp copyrights, so my working assumption is that they are not PD unless one can quote an official policy or law on the subject. Stan Shebs 13:37, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- For now let's just make a note at the top of the category that the status is in question, while I see if I can turn up any info. It's not like we're getting nastygrams from the government, so no rush. Stan Shebs 19:25, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
Image deletion warning | Image:Mark Chagall stained glass window1.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this image, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. If the file is up for deletion because it has been superseded by a superior derivative of your work, consider the notion that although the file may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new file. |

Thanks for uploading Image:1929 Shostakovich Meyerhold Mayakovsky Rodchenko rehearsing Klop.jpg. This image 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 send an email with copy of a written permission to OTRS (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org).
Unless the permission information is given, the image may be speedy deleted after seven days. Thank you. |EPO| 18:37, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Mikveh_Israel_first_students.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Mikveh_Israel_first_students.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 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. howcheng {chat} 21:51, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

File:1944 Soviet investigators at Babi Yar.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Your account will be renamed
[edit]Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Humus sapiens. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Humus sapiens~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

[edit]Shalom aleychem, kvod 'humus sapiens'! Interesting choice of a user name! First of all, thank you very much for uploading the image of a 14th century edition of the 'Guide of the Perplexed' by Maimonides (Source='Heritage. Civilization and the Jews' by Abba Eban p. 149 (Credit: Der Kongelige Bibliotek, Copenhagen) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3A14c_ed_of_the_Guide_for_the_Perplexed_by_Maimonides.jpg As it happens, it fits right into the topic of my doctoral thesis. I have read a lot about licensing and public domain, but I am not a lawyer. If I may ask you as the uploader of the file, do you know what the image's copyright status is? It seems to me that I may in fact publish the image in my thesis as the author has obviously passed away more than 100 years ago. But would the author of 'Heritage. Civilization and the Jews' by Abba Eban p. 149 (Credit:Der Kongelige Bibliotek, Copenhagen) agree with my opinion? It may be the case that the image is under copyright through that publication, too. If you have any information, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share it with me. Toda rabba, kol tuv, Ayelet beBerlin
