This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Jack Sels acrylic painting by Jules Grandgagnage.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, 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. 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!

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Huh, are they being deprecated? Thanks, --SJ + 14:10, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

No, they're not. Some years ago they got restricted on most or all WMF-wiki's. If you don't include the full page title it'll be ignored and put into a tracking category. bdijkstra (overleg) 15:46, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Sorry for the inconvenience

Thanks for the reverts on the Women with drills category. Sometimes you click one category on cat-a-lot, but it just selects another category and moves things there instead. Usually I spot such mis-moves, but this time I didn't. So, thanks for spotting them in my stead. Nakonana (talk) 19:41, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

These things happen. You're welcome. bdijkstra (overleg) 07:25, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

How does timber help fight fires?

Niet, of door samenwerking tussen koe en haas.

Maar op de achtergrond lees je bij File:TATRA.typ.TL4.1919.Pro.Prevoz.Dreva.gif blusapparaten in het Duits en vermoedelijk ook in het Tsjechisch. Wel wat dunnetjes voor Category:Firefighting in the Czech Republic, maar dat kun je van deze, deze en deze ook zeggen. Ik vermoed dat het een café of herberg is die ook als brandweerkazerne of brandweeropslag gebruikt wordt en vind de categorie niet misplaatst → bertux 07:50, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Je hebt gelijk, ik heb het teruggedraaid en een inscriptie toegevoegd. bdijkstra (overleg) 16:10, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
