CropTool
[edit]Hello! Thanks for uploading File:Ayanna M. Howard - SnoMote (cropped).jpg, File:Craig Mello 01 (cropped).jpg, and others. In the future, please consider using CropTool, which quickly and faithfully transfers all author, source, and license information to the cropped image, as well as any EXIF file metadata and categories. Having a reliable link to the source URL on crops (rather than just a link to a larger file on Commons) is important for verifying image provenance, license status, etc. Cheers, --Animalparty (talk) 20:13, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Lipscombe (cropped).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:Lipscombe (cropped).jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

Thanks for uploading File:Air view of civic center from southeast c. 1924.jpg. 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.

(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.

Percy's rescue at Lexington
[edit]What you have done here is sadly incorrect. See File:Percy's rescue at Lexington.jpeg. You cannot (should not ) overwrite an image with a completely different version of it. You need to retain the original and re-upload the other version (yours) as a fresh file. The two need to be referenced against each other. The same applies if you crop a file to take the captions off. The latter is not a good idea with this kind of vintage image; however the crop tool does leave cross referencing information in its wake.
The source of these files are also wrong. Broichmore (talk) 14:20, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2022 voting is open!
[edit]
Read this message in your language
Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 1 will end on UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
You are receiving this message because you voted in the 2021 Picture of the Year contest.
