Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, DarwIn!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

File:Painted door (Photographer). Funchal, Madeira.jpg

You deleted the "Crackelure" category, citing the fact that there are no craquelures in the image. Take a closer look, please. There are a lot of craquelures around the door, and on the door itself there is a purposeful image of craquelure. -- Ввласенко (talk) 18:26, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

@Ввласенко The wikipedia article describes that effect as "a fine pattern of dense cracking", something that can't be seen in any place of that photo. Just because the painting is falling away, it doesn't mean it's craquelure. Darwin ^Ahoy! 18:56, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

@Ввласенко Hmm... Looking better, there is some craquelure in the lower part of the door, indeed... I added the category back. Darwin ^Ahoy! 18:58, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. Let me note that geologists also use “craquelure” talking about mud cracks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudcrack). Most broadly, the term refers to any pattern created by fractures, even at the scale of rock formations. The Wikipedia article is somewhat one-sided. -- Ввласенко (talk) 21:21, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

@Ввласенко Thanks for the clarifications, and for pointing out the incorrect category removal. Darwin ^Ahoy! 21:25, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Wiki Science Competition 2023

Logo for Wiki Science Competition

Dear uploader of European Science Photo Competition 2015 and Wiki Science Competition 2017, Wiki Science Competition 2019 and Wiki Science Competition 2021, we would like to remind you that Wiki Science Competition 2023 has started in almost all the countries.

If you want to take part in WSC2023, please consult this page. Only some national categories are associated to competitions with local prizes.

If you are an expert user, we remind you that images uploaded within the deadline can be included in any case in their national category even if not uploaded with the main interface.

If you already took part in a country that has completed its upload phase (such as Russia), please consider improving the description in English of your files (click on the edit button), since such description is what the international jury will use to evaluate them. World finalists will be finalized after March 2024.

Sorry for bothering you and have a nice wiki.

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you

Dear fellow Commons photographer,

I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.

At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Request

Have a good time, I'd like you to urgently stay all files nominated for deletion in Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Raisa Vasilyeva - Wikimedia Commons.

A nominator alleges that there are "fake licenses" of these photos, but three of four photos are licensed properly, and only one may be disputed. One of the uploaders of the photos is allegedly blocked on ru.wiki, but that has no relation whatsoever to the question of deleting the photos on Wikimedia Commons. All photos depict a Soviet singer who is the member of my family (my aunt).

File:R. Vasilyeva (my own photo).jpg - this file is uploaded by me from my second account, which I created because I had forgotten the password of this account for the few days. The photo is taken by me during the festival and clearly contains the tag "my own photo" and "has no copyright".

File:Vasilyeva.jpg - this photo is taken from my family album and originally taken by unknown photographer before 1973 in Soviet Belarus, so falls under the public domain definition in Belarus (see: Template:PD-Belarus).

File:Sovjet-zangeres Raisa Vasilyeva.jpg - this photo is not uploaded by me but its existence in Commons is proper because 1) it is preserved in Dutch National Archives under the CC license and 2) it is also taken by unknown photographer before 1973 in Soviet Belarus.

The nominator also mentions some unrelated deletion request associated with persons I don't know and who have no relation to my aunt, so this has no sense as well. Based on this, I ask you to urgently stay these pictures as lawfully uploaded to Wikimedia with proper copyright. Nevtreh (talk) 02:29, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

@Nevtreh 2 of the photos have conflicting sources (the one you say is from the Dutch National Archives) and another like that one, and the photo you say is yours is lacking the EXIF. Do you still have the original photo from the cell phone? Darwin ^Ahoy! 02:39, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

File:Раиса Никоновна Васильева.jpg is most likely the one with "fake" (or dubious) source. It is not uploaded by me and was definitely not taken in 1986 as claimed by the uploader, so I would suggest you to delete this one. Meanwhile, File:Sovjet-zangeres Raisa Vasilyeva.jpg is the same file but properly licensed, so this should be stayed, in my opinion. Nevtreh (talk) 02:43, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

When you have time, please reply what should I do with my full video that you mentioned. Nevtreh (talk) 19:48, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Entrevista com Tiago Rodrigues, no âmbito da parceria com o Clube de Jornalistas.webm

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Entrevista com Tiago Rodrigues, no âmbito da parceria com o Clube de Jornalistas.webm. 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. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.
