Tip: Categorizing images
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.CategorizationBot (talk) 14:24, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Pranama generally involves bowing or touching the ground, neither is done in this case. It is just women climbing stairs, not really any Hindu ritual. --Redtigerxyz (talk) 17:16, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
Wooden sticks (for procession)
The Wooden sticks (for procession) are not part of Hindu rituals per se. It is the paraded icons that are part of ritual. The processional gold/bronze icons are known as utsava-murti (sub-class of w:murti). If the icon is in a covered vehicle, the vehicle is known as a palkhi (w:Litter (vehicle))--Redtigerxyz (talk) 17:20, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Utsava means festival, any festival eg. Ganeshostava: Ganesha festival (Ganesh Chaturthi); Deepotsava: festival of lights (Diwali). --Redtigerxyz (talk) 16:50, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. --Sreejith K (talk) 06:17, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Category:English language flags
Should probably be more along the lines of "Category:Flags foe the English language"... AnonMoos (talk) 11:20, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2017 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in R2.
Dear Wiki-uk,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2017 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the twelfth 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 (2017) 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 were 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.
There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top 2 from each sub-category.
In the final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2017.
Round 2 will end on 22 July 2018, 23:59 UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 11:33, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
Syntaxis of the Archangel Michael
I’m curious if this images legitimacy, from the “seven archangels” page, can be validated and if more detail about the artist and source can be brought forth. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Archangels.JPG#mw-jump-to-license Ominousonomotapoeia-done (talk) 20:39, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

File tagging File:Badrachalam.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Badrachalam.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 ([email protected]). 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:Badrachalam.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |
