Heya mate, I couldn't tell if this comment was sarcasm or not; which means other users might have the same difficulty. Are you legitimately suggesting the Americans may have left others take their photographs and then stolen the credit (at Guantanamo, these files are all labeled as being taken by US Soldiers in the 19th SFG) - or pointing out the silliness of suggesting somebody else took them? It'd be great if you could clarify for us. Sherurcij (talk) 22:26, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

The functionality of the template {{Rename}} has recently changed. You might need to clear your cache to see the changes.
If successful you should then be able to use the new "Quick adding" link in the template to instruct CommonsDelinker to replace the old name with the new name in all wikis. Please use that every time you rename a file. If further questions arise, feel free to write on my talk page --DieBuche (talk) 10:00, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
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:
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.
I wanted to have a more immediately intuitive distinction between the files that were named Kafka.gif (his signature) and Kafka.jpg (his photo).
I've had generated for me a list of all the files whose names were 6 characters or less, and then had them dumped into subpages of my userspace. I've been going through them sporadically and doing renames to make things easier for people to understand and recognize; this also reduces the likelihood of people uploading new (and completely different) images with the same names (as happens more often than you'd think).
It's completely ridiculous that "MAM.jpg" was a picture of the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro but "MAM.JPG" was a graph depicting the relative sales of Britney Spears vs Madonna. DS (talk) 16:00, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
Ok I admit File:Possum.jpg would have been a better example that File:Possum.gif because the gif is a skin of a possum (or more). --MGA73 (talk) 23:10, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

File mover rights removed
Sorry to inform you that I found it needed to remove your file mover rights. You was told only to move files according to the COM:RENAME#What_files_should_be_renamed? but you insisted that we should also move files because you could find a better name . I'm sure your names are better but it is NOT a valid reason to move. Also you do still not replace usage. --MGA73 (talk) 20:54, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

I have altered your proposed destination name for File:Hanoi.JPG. The postcard must have been made between 1902 and 1910. The issuer (Pierre Dieulefils) first produced postcards in 1902, and this particular card was (according to the cancellation stamp) mailed in 1910. Hope you are fine with that. Alfons Åberg (talk) 00:37, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi DragonflySixtyseven, you requested a rename of this file due to the fact that we do not know the sex of the one on the left. I assume you do not believe the description and will have your reasons.
However, I state that you also do not know the sex of the one on the right. You assume it is a girl due to clothing. However, you cannot proove it is not a boy with long hair in girls clothing. If we follow this logic, almost all boy/girl images need to be renamed to child, since there is no way to know, except for the description.
I conclude that we have nothing to rely on but the descripion and we either change all image names or none. I think changing none is the easier way, so I suggest we do not change the file name.
Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 08:49, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
I uploaded this file originally as File:Tomboy & Girly Girl.jpg, because I was specifically looking for pictures of a tomboy to illustrate nl:Tomboy. This query produces the image. I have no reason to doubt the sex of the alleged tomboy. Besides: at that age you cannot tell the difference, so it serves the illustrative purpose I originally intended quite well I think. I will revert your edit of the file description, because if it isn't a tomboy and a girly girl, the file would be pretty worthless. I also prefer the original, descriptive, title. Regards.

Nom de l'image?
En 2008, vous avez telechargé un image que vous aviez nommé "ELBA.JPG".
Pourquoi aviez-vous choisi ce nom, pourrais-je vous demander? Nous avons trois images qui s'identifient par ce tetragramme: Elba.jpg (l'ile d'Elba), Elba.JPG (le logo de la société Elba Modling), et... le votre (un radiophare de repérage d'urgence?!).
D'habitude, ceux et celles qui eurent choisi des noms paraissant illogiques et/ou loufoques ont laissé tomber le projet Wiki il y a longtemps. Mais vous, vous etes encore ici, et donc je peux vous demander:

Copyright
Hi, your statement about copyright at File:Edward Elgar, writing (1931).jpg was mistaken - there is no evidence this image and others of Lambert that were published from 1923 on are in the public domain in the U.S., which we require per Commons:Licensing ("covered by a valid free license in both the U.S. and the country of origin of the work"). Being dead for 70 years is not automatically enough in the U.S. You can check Commons:Hirtle chart for more information. In the meantime I added a template about that to the image page.

File rename template
Hi, the template has an additional parameter now.:) -- とある白い猫ちぃ？ 18:00, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
The hell is that for? DS (talk) 18:06, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
To establish the criteria so you do not even need to type in a rationale. A value between 1 and 7 corresponding to the criteria. -- とある白い猫ちぃ？ 18:08, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Ugly, lacks transparency, assumes user is innately familiar with the criteria code and that all possible instances have been taken into account. Should have an option for "left blank; full criterion added instead". DS (talk) 18:10, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Transparency? It links to the policy page. In the past it was mere text which was far worse not better. This way the rename action itself links to the policy for people reviewing. -- とある白い猫ちぃ？ 18:13, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Right. And the other comments? DS (talk) 18:15, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
They will still show. Parameter 2 used to be the comments, now parameter 2 expects a number as input corresponding to the criteria. Parameter 3 is for the comments like before. So instead of using it {{rename|Filename.ext|text}} it is {{rename|Filename.ext|3|text}}. -- とある白い猫ちぃ？ 18:18, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Why do you insist on not using the number parameter? -- とある白い猫ちぃ？ 17:44, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
I am concerned about your wilful disregard of the new syntax and your failure to clean up your mistakes (as both evidenced in this edit), as well as what appears to be your insistence that "filename is too short" is a valid criterion (it emphatically is not). You are just making more work for other people, and thus disserving this project. Kindly cease and desist from such behavior forthwith. — JeffG. ツ 12:39, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Mass deletion requests
Hello, I saw you've nominated multiple files uploaded by Gladys aya for deletion. I am not sure how many time you invested in doing so, but there is a faster and better solution: VisualFileChange. It also gives you an overview of the user's uploads and files already tagged for deletion.
A mass deletion requests helps the administrator closing the request and also keeping discussion at one place. Just for future considerations. If you have question regarding to this tool, don't hesitate to ask me. Regards -- RErillkequestions? 11:38, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
Filemove criteria #
When you do these move requests you need to include the criteria number; see Commons:File renaming#Which files should be renamed?. Example: {{rename|Giorgio Scarso (2010).jpg|criteria # here|there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who have the title "presidente". This one isn't even a politician. The filename is worthless.}}
On each of your move requests it says You need to input a value between 1 and 7 which corresponds to the file renaming criteria in big red text. Why wouldn't you do it anyways? It makes the process easier. Everyone else does. INeverCry 22:37, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
Calling me an idiot is a personal attack. I'm simply asking you to complete the renaming template with the corresponding criteria number. INeverCry 23:18, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
When there's no number, I have to delete the "no valid number" notice before making the move. If you put in a number, I just click move and confirm and it's done. Why can't you type in 1 simple number? INeverCry 23:32, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
One more question: why does it say You need to input a value between 1 and 7 which corresponds to the file renaming criteria in big red text on the move request template if that's not necessary? INeverCry 23:35, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
The proper procedure is to input a number, which is why the template warns you in big red letters to do so. Why should I or any other filemover have to do an extra step because you refuse to fill the template in completely?? INeverCry 23:39, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
DS, I suppose you don't write your edit summaries in full caps and red font, even though they are just an attachment to the edit. Same here. We have to cope with that bloody template. It is very easy to adjust and use it so that it leaves a neat edit summary. This summary is copied from the output (not input) of the rename template and is quoted by the CommonsDelinker bot for every substituted file, on nearly every wikiproject, in many thousands of watchlists and logs. Regards. Materialscientist (talk) 23:42, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
So I'm adjusting the template, then. DS (talk) 23:46, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Most of your renaming suggestions are rather constructive. To understand why I decline some minor ones, see also https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36440. Although someone marked it as "resolved fixed", there is no evidence of this yet. Some images simply disappear during renaming. Materialscientist (talk) 00:01, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
The template requires a numerical value. You should input one. My intelligence is a personal consideration, and has no place in a discussion. INeverCry 00:32, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
The requied numeric parameter must be a real integer between 1 and 7. 0 is not between 1 and 7. — JeffG. ツ 12:47, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
Mm, no. I spoke with White Cat (who is the one who wrote the current version of the template). 0 is acceptable. DS (talk) 12:54, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
Exactly what date/time/timezone was that conversation, and where? — JeffG. ツ 13:43, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
It was on #wikimedia-commons, where you idle. It should still be in your scrollback. DS (talk) 13:49, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
I am not the authority on the matter. IMHO users should be recommended to use a number between 1-7 not required (there is no consensus for such a thing at this time). I was asked to add a parameter 0 for optional reasons. In my view not using a number between 1-7 puts unneeded stress on file movers as it makes them waste time to determine users intent. Not everyone uses a rename rationale in a clear manner. This is why I feel numbers would help everyone. Numbers are also language independent as the file mover or requester may not necessarily know English and template can be auto translated. -- とある白い猫ちぃ？ 15:10, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
That's pretty rash of you, assuming my scrollback extends longer than three days. — JeffG. ツ 20:15, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Rename requests
Hello, thank you for your contributions but please only make requests that comply with the criteria at Commons:File renaming. Please do not make custom reasons saying like "this is not the logo of Association of Muslim Schools" specially when it says nowhere on the pare that it is used for the Association of Muslim Schools. It says clearly in the description the use of the image is used by "Adria Media Serbia doo". Thank you, Riley Huntley (talk) 01:44, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
"AMS" could just as easily apply to the Association of Muslim Schools as to Adria Media Serbia. I use valid reasons and am not obliged to limit myself to the pre-made form. If you don't like my rename reasons, you're not obliged to use them; however, they need to be done. DS (talk) 01:47, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes it could easily apply but it states in the description the company name. Let's use File:Ealogo.svg as an example, are you saying I should move it to because it does not say Electronic Arts logo in the file name? I understand where you are coming from but I don't think it is the best option. Now with File:Linde Friedrich - фрагмент из "Списков учеников Петришуле 1863-1912 год".JPG you used file renaming criterion #2, the file name is not completely meaningless, it is just in a different language, the same language the image is in. Remember, Commons is a "media file repository making available public domain and freely-licensed educational media content (images, sound and video clips) to everyone, in their own language."Riley Huntley (talk) 02:02, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
I made no such assertion, or in fact any assertion, regarding the Linde Friedrich file. I'm fully aware of the existence of multiple languages, and I frequently supply new names in the language used by the uploader if at all possible. What are you talking about? DS (talk) 02:04, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I speak only a little English. I did not understand, sorry:
I should hope that such users would not choose to implement renamings based solely on numbers, without first verifying that the numerically-designated rationale actually applies. Remember, when you read a numerically-designated rationale, you must first mentally convert it into its human-comprehensible value, and then verify that the rationale actually applies. In other words, you are suggesting the following two-user process: A) "devise rationale", B) "determine appropriate numeric designation for rationale", C) "submit numeric designation", D) "read numeric rationale", E), "mentally convert numeric designation into human-parseable rationale", F) "verify that rationale applies", G) "implement rename". However, I feel that the following two-user process is more efficient and a better use of my time: A) "devise rationale", B)"submit rationale", C) "read rationale", D) "verify that rationale applies", E) "implement rename". My rationales are valid; if you do not feel capable of implementing them without first encoding, and then decoding, the rationales, feel free to either encode and decode them yourself, or to leave them for someone else to do.
This is the family's shield, I see no reason why it should be renamed because it is not an image of one of the family members. IMO this rename was unnecessary, and does not comply with any of the rename criteria. Savhñ 18:15, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

renaming photos
Hi Dragon,
I'll just ask that you not rename files that I upload, basing your renaming on your assumptions or quick research. I'm not really complaining here about your actions, just saying that precision in filenaming isn't that important, doesn't seem to supported by policy, and does cause a few knock-on problems. I'd just like to stop folks from quickly renaming files because they think they know the subject better than the photographer - at least for files I upload.
Another editor (sorry to complain about somebody else!) renamed a couple of my files that were named by the exact address of the buildings I photographed, saying that the names were meaningless. What could be more meaningful than the address?
Your change was not anywhere near as bad. My name was Bob Morris Indy Mall.JPG for a statue of Robert Morris near Independence Mall (with an M) in Philadelphia. You changed the name to File:Statue of Robert Morris (by Paul Wayland Bartlett) in front of Independence Hall, Philadelphia.jpg . Actually it's not there either. Rather Independence Mall describes a general area (usually) but is specifically right in front of Independence Hall and runs for several blocks north. The statue is a block and a half behind (southeast of) Independence Hall. So in a general way, the original filename was more correct (though if taken literally incorrect) and your name is specifically incorrect. In short, I don't believe that filenames need to be precise and that your change didn't improve the precision.
Even shorter, please just trust the photographer's choice of filename (at least for my photos), unless they are complete nonsense.
Any help would be appreciated. There's no need to change the name back.
Sincerely,
Smallbones (talk) 21:44, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
No, I must thank you for your politeness and reasonable approach. I was a bit irritated at several small things today (and took it out on you), and I'm still irritated at that OTHER guy would doesn't understand the meaningfulness of street addresses. In any case, I like short file names packed with information, but that means that they're not always precise or understandable to folks not familiar with the subject. I just hope that we don't get detailed guidelines on how to name files. It could just cause havoc.

I appreciate your effort ...
... in trying to make the title of this image more precise: File:Statue_of_Robert_Morris_(by_Paul_Wayland_Bartlett)_in_front_of_Independence_Hall,_Philadelphia.jpg but in the process you created a funny blooper for us Philadelphians. Independence Mall is a 3-block park directly in front of (north of) Independence Hall. The Morris statue is about 500 feet SE of Independence Hall, still in Independence National Historical Park but not on Independence Mall. (So the original poster had it wrong.) The building in the background is the Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at 420 Walnut Street.

Needless snark when disambiguating file names
Please use a more neutral edit summary when moving files. You have done the following styles of summary:
Barbet.png -- "this is not USS Barbet"
Sorsa.png -- "what is Sorsa supposed to mean?"
Blades.png -- "there are multiple meanings to 'blades', the filename is worthless"
First one implies that "Barbet" by default refers to an USA ship, instead of a breed/type of dog, and also implies that the file name would have been fine if it was the ship--which is not true, since all files need a sufficiently descriptive name. Second one adds nothing of value to the summary, only expresses that you personally do not know the word. Third one would be fine but calling the filename worthless is unneeded and can make the other person feel offended. These types of summary can rub people the wrong way. I suggest you use a more neutral and informative content in the future when renaming files. Something like "disambiguating file name" or "more descriptive file name" or "filenames of organisms should feature the scientific name" can be copy-pasted and will save you from needing to type the entire summary each time; they will feel less prickly in case the uploader was a new user, and regardless of who's looking at the move summary, will spread knowledge of community standards for filenames. --Pitke (talk) 12:10, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
I would echo that. When I see your edit summaries in my watchlist, they really come across as sarcastic. Jonathunder (talk) 03:36, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
I've been told, by very angry people, that "more descriptive" is an unacceptable rationale. DS (talk) 03:43, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
It probably is. If it's difficult to write a clear and non-sarcastic reason for the move, there may not be one. Jonathunder (talk) 03:50, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
I saw the problem with the Jasmar Cassar article and the message on your talk page. This information might help JeanMarion understand that it's a scam (perhaps it could be posted on the article's talk page):
Jasmar Cassar won the Akademia award for BEST MUSIC VIDEO in the POP category in July 2016, which is supported by this official Akademia page. However, notice that two other artists won the same award in the same month: and .
As you know, a serious music awards competition doesn't do that. Nevertheless, although this proves that The Akademia is not a serious company (and it lacks notability by Wikipedia's standards, as there is no significant coverage in reliable independent sources), it doesn't prove it's a scam. Here's probably the easiest way to prove to others on Wikipedia that The Akademia is a scam:
If you google "Now hold on to your chair. We recently met with the program directors" (with quotation marks), you'll find that The Akademia has sent a copied and pasted email to all of the "winners", stating the following:
"Now hold on to your chair. We recently met with the program directors from several Berkshire Media Group radio stations..." , , , etc. However, the only Berkshire Media Group in the world merely publishes newspapers in Berkshire, England: . They do not own radio stations. So that's proof that the radio stations mentioned by The Akademia do not exist. They are just websites pretending to be Internet radio stations.
But The Akademia made another critical mistake. In their spin reports, such as this one, at the bottom of the page they assert the following: "Berkshire Media Group and other radio station networks use proprietary spin tracking systems whose data forms the basis for this consolidated report." Again, that's impossible. The only Berkshire Media Group in the world does not deal with music. The spin reports are a lie. Some hardcore believers in The Akademia might point to this article (or almost identical versions in unreliable sources) to claim that there is another Berkshire Media Group, but notice that the link I provided is from the official website of the music band Millennium. It's no coincidence that the founders of The Akademia (Anwar Najmi and his wife Roujeanne) are also founding (and current) members of the band Millennium (in which Anwar is known as Stryker, and Roujeanne is known as Sapphire). That connection can be found all over the Internet, including here. So they used their own band's website to spread false information about a different non-existent Berkshire Media Group, to deceive musicians and scam them.
I hope this information is useful in case you run into similar problems in the future. There are many ways to prove that The Akademia is a scam, as you know, but as I said, I think the Berkshire Media Group problem is the easiest way to expose this financial crime on talk pages. All the best... Dontreader (talk) 23:59, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
Reminder: Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2016 is open!
You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2016 Picture of the Year contest.
Dear DragonflySixtyseven,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2016 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eleventh 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 (2016) 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 #1 and #2 from each sub-category.
In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.
If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work.
If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
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!
Hi, please don't rename files build after this name scheme. All units of the National Park Service operate under four letter abbreviations because many if not most of the names are too long for practical use. Her you changed File:Efmo prairie 2005.jpg to File:Prairie in Effigy Mounds National Monument, Iowa (2005).jpg which can be handled, but only by copy and paste. Do you wish to use the full name in every file connected with en:National Japanese American Memorial To Patriotism During World War II? So please, the abbreviations are there for a reason. rdgs --h-stt!? 13:22, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
I, the copyright holder of this work, release this work into the public domain. This applies worldwide. In some countries this may not be legally possible; if so: I grant anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.
This might not be a complete list, but I did find more articles on Wikipedia with Akademia awards. I challenged the owner of The Akademia to come to Wikipedia and defend his company, but he's not stupid; he would get annihilated publicly, and he knows it. I would really appreciate your help again getting this content removed since I don't want to beg the Arbitration Committee to allow me back on Wikipedia. Many thanks in advance.
Thanks for uploading File:79 LAA Bty Walton on Thames.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 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.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Marikina Science High School (model).png, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image".

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Important message for file movers
A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.
Possible acceptable uses of this ability:
To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.
The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators.

FoP only comes into play for in-copyright works; if it weren't in copyright, then it shouldn't be nominated for deletion at all.

It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category.

Thanks for uploading File:Ellen D. Williams lecturing at MIT 2012.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 14days. 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:Ellen D. Williams lecturing at MIT 2012.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
Please note that any file that has survived DR previously, been declined for speedy in the past, has a VRT ticket added by an agent, has a LicenseReview tag added by a reviewer, etc. should not be nominated for speedy deletion, which is only for uncontroversial cases. The fact that a trusted user has taken a look and decided that the image is fine is ipso facto proof that deleting the file would be controversial. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:19, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

This is not an unusual mistake, but I'm leaving you this message to help you get this right in the future.
There are several steps to making a deletion request (DR) correctly; among other things you must transclude the deletion into the correct daily DR list, and to notify the page creator and optionally other human (non-bot) editors of the page. By far the easiest way to do all of this correctly is to use the automatic Nominate for deletion or Nominate category for discussion tool in the Tools menu on the sidebar per COM:DR#Starting requests and COM:CFD#Starting requests, which takes care of all that using vetted Javascript. If you prefer to add the {{Delete}} template or {{Category for discussion}} template manually, you are required to follow the instructions in the template, including the "Click here to show further instructions" portion (or Commons:Deletion requests/Listing a request manually policy or the "By hand" portion of COM:CFD#Starting requests, normally collapsed). Again, though, there is no need to follow complex instructions if you use the automatic tools.
Also worth knowing: on Commons, {{Delete}} is not a "speedy delete" request like it is on many other projects; instead, it starts a discussion of whether the file should be deleted. If you think a particular media file really obviously does not belong on Commons, see the instructions at Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion. Common cases that are better handled with a speedy delete than a DR include:

Thanks for uploading File:Dynamic Comics no. 11 (1944).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 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.

Creating categories with different naming convention
Request you to only create categories with right naming convention (and move the files to those categories), with the common template. VasuVR (talk, contribs) 16:01, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
