:::Well, in general all covers are fair use images, and fair use is not allowed on Commons.

== Images from [http://fs.jorge.com/default.html U.S.Forest Service Database] ==
Cropping is not all that is needed with many of those scans I found at that database.  I paused before uploading them and considered cleaning them up.  They are so cool, some photographs from the 1920's!  There is an email address there which I intend to write to to get the higher resolution images that they said they had.  It is one of the reasons that I am making sure I note the image number on the uploads.  I am going to ask that you consider not suggesting work on the smaller images but instead see if you can or wait until I or somebody else gets access to the higher resolution images.  The scans are not of bad quality as they are, but they can be better.  I am also wondering if grayscaled png would be better than the jpeg for such images.

I continued to upload the smaller images for several reasons.  That database is really slow -- slow enough that I feel bad for the computer that is serving the images.  The information presented for each image is good, but perhaps could be better.  For instance, I have put a few images of law enforcement people and construction workers in the category of the city they were photographed in and I don't know if that is the right approach.  This upload was to get the information in place and the license and all of that.  Later, it should be easier to work with the larger images when cleaning and cropping can be concentrated upon.

I feel like I have actually accomplished something when I put an image into [[:Category:1928|1928]].  Cleaning it and making it bigger and better will be the same kind of kick, I think.  Thanks -- [[User:CarolSpears|carol]] 23:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

:You're right, it doesn't make sense to keep tagging those images until they are larger. Those images are really nice and would be even better in a higher resolution. Maybe we should remove the <nowiki>{{crop}}</nowiki>-tags again? --[[User:Christian Nurtsch|<span style="color:#116611">Christian Nurtsch</span>]][[User talk: Christian Nurtsch|<sup>TM</sup>]] 07:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


==crops, et al.==
Thanks for the attention to my images, with tags and so forth.  I am giving some consideration to how to manage them best, some items are just being trialled - and so on.  In dealing with some images, I will make sure they are cropped etc, with the greatest retention of information.  Any contributions for use at wikisource, for example, should remain unmodified.  Can I suggest that those images that can be enhanced be re-uploaded under another name, Image (crop).jpg, or whatever.  I found that an slightly skewed image had been trimmed, it was not an enhancement in my opinion. I tend not to watch things here, I'm not sure others do either, so perhaps erring on the side of caution is best. Hope my thoughts on this are helpful. Regards, [[User:Cygnis insignis|Cygnis insignis]] 12:40, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe we should create a tag that points out that reworking of images is undesirable. In the case of your image(s) I just thought a crop would be useful. My bad! --[[User:Christian Nurtsch|<span style="color:#116611">Christian Nurtsch</span>]][[User talk: Christian Nurtsch|<sup>TM</sup>]] 06:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
::I don't know what the solution is, I do think that cropped pictures are useful. Reworking is desirable, but the uploader ''may'' need to be aware of it. Perhaps a tag that suggests creating an alternate and enhanced version?  Many of the wikisource pages would be in large numbers; I think a tag has been suggested there to state something like ''"... this is an original scan and should not be altered, a modified image can be uploaded to a new name ... "'', this could be added to the scans.  If someone was able to create a template, it would be useful.  [[User:Cygnis insignis|Cygnis insignis]] 10:01, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
:::[[:Template:Original]] is used in a similar way, but it's just for obsolete images. I created a prototype of a template for scans: [[:User:Christian Nurtsch/Scan]].

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Icon_03092_().jpg]]'''. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[Commons:Licensing|copyright]] status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a [[Commons:Derivative works|derivative]] of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{tlx|self|cc-by-sa-3.0}} to release it under the [[Commons:Copyright_tags#Free_Creative_Commons_licenses|Creative Commons]] Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{tl|PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See [[Commons:Copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Commons:Deletion guidelines|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wiki=commons.wikimedia.org&img_user_text={{PAGENAMEE}} Gallery] tool.

== Adminship ==

Hello, I just had a look at your contribution list, and I like what I see. Have you thought about [[Commons:Administrators/Requests and votes|requesting adminship]]? ''—[[User:LX|LX]] ([[User_talk:LX|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/LX|contribs]])'' 10:56, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

::The normal expectation is that [[Commons:Administrators#What_is_expected_from_an_administrator.3F|you should have 200 edits]], which you easily meet. I'd personally like to see at least 500 or so, and others might think that 600 is still too few, but ultimately, I think it's the nature of the contributions that matter most.

::However, if you feel like you want more experience, then nobody is going to pressure you into applying early. Just know that if you do choose to file a request, you have at least one vote of support. You seem to tag images judiciously, and we could definitely use more people to act on the speedies as opposed to just tagging them.

Hello, I uploaded [[:Image:Moulin blanlhac.jpg‎]] from the french wikipédia; I have at least to prevent the image from deletion at commons, because it soon will disappear at wikipédia.

:Salut, the <nowiki>{{crop}}</nowiki>-tag doesn't stand for a risk of deletion. It signalizes just, that the related image should have its border removed.

Your addition of the {{tl|cover}} template to [[:Image:Beethoven piano.jpg]] was wrong as the uploader had not claimed 'fair use', and that template explicitly states "This template should only be used for obvious cases, and only where the contributor has explicitly claimed fair use; use {{tl|delete}} for others".

== Vesuvio oder Mount Vesuvius? ==

Hallo Christian, ich habe die ganze riesen BilderSammlung [Category:Mount Vesuvius] geordnet und unterteilt, nach dem ich alle Bilder die ich gefunden habe, zusammengetragen habe. Nun die Category ist jetzt ziemlich reich und unterscheidet. Leider gab es diese Redirect von "Mount Vesuvius" zu "Vesuvio": dies ist eine Auslese, eine Bilder Gallerie. Also wer "Mount Vesuvius" sucht, kommt nicht auf die vollständige Categorie, sondern wird auf die minimale Galerie umgeleitet, was ich nicht korrekt finde. Wer bilder sucht soll auf eine vollständige Categorie landen, wovon er dann auslesen kann, und nicht auf eine bescheidene Auslese Gallerie. Darum habe ich die Redirect gelöscht und die Gallerie "Vesuvio" in die [Category Mount Vesuvius] eingefügt (also sie gehört jetzt zu einer der vielen Auslese Möglichkeiten). Ich glaube dass es sinnvoll wäre wenn sie ihre Korrektur wieder rückgängig machten. Oder sonst dass die [Category:Mount Vesuvius] in [Category:Vesuvio]] umgetauft wird. Herzlichen Dank dafür! Weiter stehe ich ihnen zur  Verfügung. --[[User:DenghiùComm|DenghiùComm]] 15:12, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
:Okay, die Sache ist einfacher als ich dachte. Ich habe [[Mount Vesuvius]] mal auf [[:Category:Mount Vesuvius]] umgeleitet. Dort befinden sich ja auch Links zu den Gallerieseiten. Ich hoffe das ist so in Ordnung.

Hi, you apparently deleted [[:Image:Bowen, from Flagstaff Hill.jpg]].  I think the deletion is incorrect; the license on Flickr may now not allow commercial use but it once did.  The image (if I recall correctly) was uploaded by FlickrLickr, which proves it was a valid license at the time of upload (and creative commons licenses are not revocable).  This has [[User_talk:Siebrand/Archive08#Image:Bowen.2C_from_Flagstaff_Hill.jpg|happened before]] as well, and it was undeleted then.   Could you undelete it? Thanks...

== Fair use ==
Hi Christian... Perhaps you can solve this question for me? I notice that web pages of TV series use low resolution images under the Fair Use license. How come some articles in Wikipedia (e.g. Bionic Woman, Simpsons, etc.) are allowed to do that and I can not upload any TV screenshots? Or, are they hosted in another place where those licenses are permitted?

Also, how do I link images across, for example, Wikipedia in English and in Spanish? Images with the same name do not seem to come across and I could not find it in the help files..

Thanks! :) Jorge.

:Hello, Commons is hosting files for any other Wikimedia project provided that they are released under a free license (see [[COM:L]]). If you would like to use copyrighted material (e.g. screenshots) in an article, it should be uploaded separately to your project ([[w:|Wikipedia]], etc.) where fair use is allowed. Linking to images is possible using ''<nowiki>[[:en:Image:Example.jpg]]</nowiki>'', but there is currently no possibility to display them in articles. I hope I was able to help. →[[User:Christian Nurtsch|<span style="color:#088A08">Christian</span>]][[User talk: Christian Nurtsch|<span style="color:#FF8000;">.И</span>]] 14:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

== Massive URV Politkerfotos ==

Hallo Christian! Ich sehe gerade, dass du online und auch Administrator bist. Ich habe ein Bitte an Dich:

Ich bin Benutzer aus de.wikipedia.org und habe festgestellt, dass zwei politische Parteien unbewußt unerlaubterweise Pressefotos hochgeladen haben. Die Parteien sind aber nicht der Urheber und die von mir angemailten Pressefotografen wissen nichts von dem Upload oder haben Einverständnis gegeben. Viele der Bilder sind auf offiziellen Webseiten zu finden. (Ich bin da ein wenig aus der Szene, darum weiß ich wen ich anschreiben kann.)

Mein konkretes Anliegen ist im Commons.Forum ersichtlich [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Forum#Politkerfotos_hochgeladen_-_alle_URV]

Ich habe begonnen, die ersten Fotos zu markieren, bin aber müde, es extra bei jedem Foto mit demselben Argument zu machen.

Alle Fotos in diesen beiden Galerien müssten gelöscht werden - außer ein Landschaftsfoto:

[http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wikifam=commons.wikimedia.org&wikilang=en&order=-img_timestamp&img_user_text=SP%C3%96+Presse+und+Kommunikation&ofs=0&max=50]

[http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wikifam=commons.wikimedia.org&since=&until=&img_user_text=Enlarge&order=-img_timestamp&max=50&order=-img_timestamp&format=html]

Ich würde Dich bitte, der Sache nachzugehen und sämtliche betreffenden Fotos zu löschen. Danke. --[[User:Pressemappe|Pressemappe]] 22:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

::Nachtrag: Du kannst mir vertrauen, dass ich richtige handle.

On the other hand, the WireImage page does not assert exclusive rights to the image. It is not even entirely clear if image no. 7142371 on the WireImage page is the same photo as the one on Flickr.

== [[:Image:Fairway Rock 0489.jpg]] ==

The name of deleted version contains the full name of the rock ([[:Image:Fairway Rock 0489.jpg]]), and the kept the version only has an abbreviation ([[:Image:FWR0489.jpg]]). I think the deleted version has a better name, can you restore it and redirect the other file? Regardless of which file is kept the other file should be redirected, since both names has been used for a long time. Redirecting the deleted file to the kept version is almost always a very good thing to do when deleting duplicates. The only exceptions are really badly named files or recently uploaded files that has not been used in any Wikimedia project yet. /[[User:Ö|Ö]] 10:19, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
:[[:Image:Fairway Rock 0489.jpg]] is {{done|restored}}. But I think we don't need a redirect here. Users are rarely looking for specific filenames, they use categories and galleries to browse.

::Redirects are not needed because someone may search for the filename, but because there may be links to the image page. All images which have been in use on a Wikimedia project will be linked to from old page versions. The permanent link and cite features in Wikipedias encourage links to specific  page versions. Such links are made less useful if images are missing from the old pages just because they have been renamed or are duplicated.
::Reusers of Commons outside Wikimedia images may link to the image page here as the source for an image. In the same way that Commons prefer working source links for images from Flickr, NASA and other sources, reusers of Commons content should be able to rely on links to images pages here. This is more important for original images by Commons users. For images from other websites reusers would do better to link to the original source. But there may be other reasons for linking to image pages here. I don't think we should break links unless we have a good reason. /[[User:Ö|Ö]] 16:35, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

== Empty mis-spelled categories ==
Just for my own information here, how do you determine what made a category to be empty before you delete it?

:Hello Carol, I have no idea why Commons should be an educational project. 
:In general, I speedy delete categories if there is a sufficient reason (misspellings are rather obvious and easy to evaluate). I'd appreciate if you could bring up a more specific case. I'm not perfect, I make mistakes. Regards, →[[User:Christian Nurtsch|<span style="color:#088A08">Christian</span>]][[User talk: Christian Nurtsch|<span style="color:#FF8000;">.И</span>]] 09:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

::The upload page and several of the deletion templates point to a document here that mentions the project scope.  I may or may not have read that document when I first started contributing here, then I contributed here for several months, mysteriously became a trusted user, had very few problems (mostly some copyright problems that were on such a fine line like a screenshot that had two images within it that are both here one image was GFDL and the other image was cc-something -- that deletion is still more funny than an actual problem I think).  Categories get emptied here and then that is the reason given for deleting them.

::There was recently a merge between the "Plants of" categories and the newer and more clearly defined "Flora of" categories.  I have no idea what the intention was for the creation of and the heavy-handed maintenance of the "Plants of" categories.  After writing some plant articles for one of the wikipedias, it became clear to me that there was not a structure here that was actually useful for locating plants and that is a large part of the science. 

::The "Plants of" categories -- I have no idea what those were about.  Perhaps there is a document that explains their purpose and what goes into them somewhere -- my experience is that some of those categories were strong-armed managed like, if anyone attempted to subcategorize a species into (Plants of the Canary Islands comes to mind) that species category was made into a gallery and the subcategory was deleted.  So, clearly the goal for that one location was to have galleries and not necessarily particular plants.  Another "Plants of" directory contained only images (no subcategories and no galleries) and those images were all taken by one photographer who claims that those plants were all native to that area.  Meanwhile, back in the United States, some states had "Plants of" categories and others didn't.  I mention these few examples to demonstrate that I have no idea of the purpose of the "Plants of" by looking at that collection and how it was managed and comparing one area to another.

::I set up the simplest thing possible which was to be the most useful for all that I have recently learned about botany.  Setting aside my real idea that botany as a science is its own study in futility (without the assistance of the human intervention I have experienced lately), it is really quite easy when authoring an article about a species to right then, while the information is handy, to subcategorize the species into its native locations.  "Plants of Russia" is just about the most useless category as it has the same weight as "Plants of Haiti" since they are both equal politically.  Botany is more about the land and the area and the environment though.  The document that I used started by dividing the planet into eight almost equal chunks and working down from there.  Due to the environmental aspects of the division, the land areas were not always so equal, [[:Category:Palearctic]] compared to [[:Category:Australasia]].  I think that without reading anything about goals and purpose that it would naturally have happened that single images that were taken of plants and animals and insects in the different regions would have been categorized in those original "Flora of" categories and only native species would have been subcategorized there.

::When I set those original categories up (that were fairly well considered from my own experience uploading and trying to determine what was going on here and additionally from the authoring of articles about the subject matter) I merged the mostly abandoned [[:Category:Ecozones]] with the information that starts on page 121 of http://www.tdwg.org/TDWG_geo2.pdf

::"China" what is the better spelling for this word?  That document uses it and so does the parent category here [[:Category:China]].  The word "Biocountry" was grabbed also from that document to separate the other things about China (the politics, the cities, the flags, the culture, the museums, etc) from those things which occur there naturally like plants, animals and geographical stuff.  That document named a few of their areas after the political divisions that share that land, China was one of these -- so is Brazil.  Look at [[:Category:Brazil Biocountry]].

::I would like to suggest that deletion requests have the requesting person looked at.  I have emptied a few categories myself recently and requested the deletion of them but I also included some outside links that supported my deletion request and the files were moved to a sensible location according to those outside links (species get renamed all of the time and worse, some places use one name and other places use another name so I include all of the names especially if they are being used into the category where things are being moved to).

::Since this computer started, the ToL people have not been able to put a sensible taxonomy in place here.  That takes a little extra knowledge and I have been spending my time working on that as I have gained that extra knowledge recently and it is not unlike putting together a three dimensional puzzle (as far as the brain food part of this task goes).  I thought that the Ecozone thing was more easily understood and participation in that did not demand the knowledge of sciences that are being taught at the college/university level.  Apparently, the merge was managed by people who are not yet thinking at even a high school level though or I went to a much better high school than all of them did (which I seriously doubt as this school was not unlike the one in Fast Times at Ridgemont High).

::I actually need someone to run GIT on the files here to just replace everything that happened while Siebrand was not the author of Siebot.  The user instance of Foroa merged those categories and then later agreed that merges should only occur in bijective situations.  It would be nice if the same aggression that merged those categories without asking and that has been shown here to disemble species categories and put them into galleries could be aimed at restoring a well-thought and mature category tree which defined geographical locations as independently of the politics as possible.  There is energy to do things here, I have seen it.  Merge now ask questions later is not the commons I got to know and I have some questions as to the reason they did not stay at English wikipedia after having gotten their way there.  

::Do you have any idea the reason that when they get their way they are seemingly unhappy and bored with this?

::I think that the project scope lately has been rewritten to reflect a more educational bias.

Please excuse the late reply, but for a non-native speaker it's a tough job to read and to understand what you've written.

:::::I actually considered this when I left the "Flora of" and the [[:Category:Ecozones]] as they were due to the fact that it is not necessary to have experience with taxonomy to understand the difference between geographical divisions and political divisions ''and'' they were fairly well documented here.  I had much difficulty here finding maps to use for the range maps that is a part of the taxonomy box at English wikipedia.  Also, I am sorry that my language is so native and getting more so every passing day.  The people I have met from other countries had no problem 1)authoring software and 2)understanding the English (possibly from the availability of movies and television from USA).  The number of users at commons who have problems with the language is interesting to me, especially those who were voted into administrative positions.  It is 2008 and not as many people are familiar with the language as was in 1998. 

:::::And now for something completely different.  I have learned (and perhaps only learned this) for the last 5 years especially that no one can be trusted or believed.  I am a little bored with this and there has to be a lot of trust and belief somewhere to cause such a 5 years.

One list [[People who do not know that no one can be trusted or believed]] and the other [[People who have become bored with this constant example]]?

== apology? ==
I requested that deletion, didn't I?  The deletion of [[:Category:China Biocountry]] and the reason given, the mis-spelling was mine.  I am ''very'' sorry.

Since http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&dir=prev&offset=20080901123959&contribs=user&target=SieBot when all of the galleries and images were moved from the plants of categories to the flora of categories, I cannot be trusted to think calmly about things -- even when I take a few minutes to gather my thoughts.

Those categories were merged and then they asked what the differences were.  This should have nothing to do with you and I am sorry that I am not so respectful of the intellectual and communicative capacity of administrators who delete and move things as I was before that happened. 

Very very sorry.  Please accept my apology for this. -- [[User:CarolSpears|carol]] ([[User talk:CarolSpears|talk]]) 12:48, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

::::This is all very gracious of you.  I think this is a good word to describe being patient and still available after such a lot of misunderstandings, confusion and other problems most (or all) which are not yours.  

::::My request to have that category deleted was a mistake, to be honest.  The available maps are not made with divisions for this purpose.  For example, I attempted to put the map of Russia with the Oblasts and Krai included onto the world map which I had started with using Inkscape and I failed.  I am not a cartographer and I am not so good with Inkscape that I could do that.  I requested maps be made by people who have made maps here and was shown a map of the United States which had been divided into counties (the next division from state here) which did not help me with [[:Category:Palearctic]] where Russia and China are equal to Lithuania and accidentally to islands like Sardinia.  And the United States and Canada on that same map.  Large areas of land are politically equal to much much smaller areas of land.

::::The map problem is the same that made me create the new categories also.  The world svg map that is here is incredible with almost every little island drawn in it.  Heh, I spent literally hours moving those islands into more finely nested xml tags so they would be easier to work with.  For example, that map has some islands that I needed Inkscape to view at 25000% (I think that is the largest view) so they would be large enough to select and put where they could be more easily managed.  That was a few months ago by now though, not the years that some abandoned projects have remained here at the Commons.  I really am in need of maps with some countries showing finer political divisions than others.

== Category:Kyūshū ==
<div style="border:thin solid black;padding:10px;">
[[:Category:Kyūshū]] was moved to [[:Category:Kyushu]] and you deleted the first category. That was nice to see happen.  I have a list of similarly named categories:

*[[:Category:Honshū]]
*[[:Category:Flora of Honshū]]
*[[:Category:Nature of Kyūshū]]
*[[:Category:Flora of Kyūshū]]

#All were created by me before I realized that the names being used contained awkward non-ascii and non-Japanese characters. Can they be moved also?
#There also might be other categories within the Japanese content here, perhaps the rest of the Japanese subcategories can be reviewed for other instances of these non-ascii and non-Japanese characters in the names of the subcategories? 
#I am unfamiliar with the character set being used in those names, but perhaps there is a way to discover every category at commons which contains characters from this set so that they can be moved to something more sensible and you know how to do that?

Thank you also and again for your previous calm and forgiving nature when I had a problem with the deletion of a category that I asked be deleted.  Honestly, I found something here which requires some thinking and I don't always seem to be able to access that same thinking for other things.  The discussion of the deletion of the Chinese Biocountry directory is a very good example of a mistake I can make while attempting these other things.

Additionally, if the changes that were made to the "Plants of" categories in this spree here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&dir=prev&offset=20080901124025&contribs=user&target=SieBot could be reverted and any "Flora of" category which has been created since that time could be deleted, I am quite certain that my ability to see my own mistakes and manage them more productively will be much improved. 

Again, my appreciation for all of this has appreciated.

:Regarding the "Flora/Plants of" categories, I thought the "Flora of" was the more sensible one, so why undo all your efforts to build up a unified categorization?

===sql or other lists===
::About the sql query: I worked here recently with a list that was made of every category subcategorized to botany that also included parens.  I am now wondering if there is a way to search for unicode greater than "FFFF" (or whatever -- it has been more than a few months since I looked at anything in unicode...).  Maybe convert the titles to the numeric unicode and then make the search. ''(typing my thoughts)''  Japanese shouldn't need more than ascii so maybe converting the titles to HTML-4 and listing every title that has a character which is greater than &amp;#164; (&amp;#165; is yen, heh) or undefined.  That would be mildly amusing to me if HTML-4 was the simple for this internationalization goal.... -- [[User:CarolSpears|carol]] ([[User talk:CarolSpears|talk]]) 14:10, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

==="Plants of" merge with "Flora of"===
::About "Flora of/Plants of":  I would have rather started to work with my category scheme and the people who spent so much energy converting category to gallery than to have the two trees non-communicatively merged.  Before that merge, there was not a "Flora of United States" (or the United States) for example.  The land mass is too large.  The categories that I created and filled are joined political areas which are of similar land areas.  The United States was in 6 kind of equal land masses each with a similar environment (one of the areas is [[:Category:South-Central United States|2 states]] and another is [[:Category:Northeastern United States|13 states]] because the political divisions are not sensible in terms of land mass).  Plants of categories were all about political divisions.  Some islands in Africa are subcategorized into France, for instance even though they are so far away from the "owner"; the Flora of categories that I made used the political divisions but only to the extent that it made sensible groups of similar environments.  

::You are correct about the amount of work I put into this -- that is the reason that I would like that merge to be undone.  I am not certain what the use of a collection of plants that can be found in a landmass the size of Russia or the United States or Canada or Mexico, but this doesn't mean it isn't useful.  My work was not strictly with political divisions but more with equal land mass groups of political divisions.  Also, my categories were subcategories with native species (not introduced or naturalized or cultivated species) -- I never saw any sign that the plants of categories were managed like this.  The management I saw of the plants of categories were that anything that could be made into a gallery was and the subcategories deleted. -- [[User:CarolSpears|carol]] ([[User talk:CarolSpears|talk]]) 14:10, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

::Revert first and let them explain what the "Plants of" are after.  They were not logically mergible. 

:The discussion at Siebrands talk page was after the merge.  ''After the merge''.  Before the merge, there was no asking me by the people who merged.  I suggest that you ask the people who made this merge this one question (a question I never received an answer for).  '''Other than the requirement of a gallery from the genus category on, what qualifies a species to have been subcategorized into a plants of category?'''  I have one example of the communication after a smaller merge was undone.  [[User_talk:CarolSpears/2008-08#Plants_of_.2F_Flora_of]] and another example of discussion before the merge [[User_talk:CarolSpears/2008-08#Flora.2FPlants_of]].  I feel very strongly to undo the merge and the reason given (if asked and I suspect there will be no asking) be "it didn't take a crystal ball to know the embarrasment that was the motivating factor in the original non-communicative and profoundly wrong merge". And, "while reviewing the situation, it became evident that no one touched the galleries which was the focus of the plants of people as well as the active members of the ToL group."

:There was a ''consensus'' at Siebrands talk page that the people who made that merge and were discussing it there that they would be making stylized navigation, yet nothing seems to have happened with that.  In addition to the stated fact that whoever was answering for Siebrand is not an author of software so the respect I was having for that user was misplaced, in my opinion.

:What I saw was that most of the communication from the maintainers of those "Plants of" categories was the gallery requirement.  I also read a user page that suggested that talking about stuff is the quickest way to make it not happen.  Ask [[User:Lycaon]] what qualified a plant to be located in a "Plants of" category -- the "geolocate your plant photograph" user should have a quick and concise answer for that. -- [[User:CarolSpears|carol]] ([[User talk:CarolSpears|talk]]) 21:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Hallo Christian. Kannst du bitte das genannte Bild wiederherstellen, damit ich die evtl. fehlenden Daten nachtragen kann? Mir war nicht bewusst, dass es die Voraussetzungen nicht erfüllt - es wurde im Übrigen nicht von mir nach Commons transferiert - und normalerweise gebe ich alle nötigen Informationen an. Es gab auch keine Löschwarnung an mich. Danke und Grüße, [[User:J budissin|j.budissin]]<sup>[[User talk:J budissin|+/-]]</sup> 20:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi - I reverted [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Commons%3AFlickr_images%2Freviewers%2Flist this action] as your edit to the policy was reverted, see the discussion [[Commons_talk:Flickr_images/reviewers#Undiscussed_change|here]].

::Also lästig sein möchte ich nicht, aber ''herzlich eingeladen'' bist+bleibst Du. Es war reichlich enervierend, auf der CAT Talk page kaum brauchbares Feedback vorzufinden: Die "geniale" Idee, die dort von meinem diesbezüglichen Kontrahenten ausführlich bequasselnd verteidigt wurde, nämlich die Bilder mit ~vG_1, vG2 etc zu beschriften, hat genau zu dem Saustall geführt den ich aufräumen werde: Ich ärgere mich über jede einzelne dieser Dateien die dann zwar ebenso geniale Hinweise wie '''de|Amsterdam''' UND '''en|Amsterdam''' (und womöglich noch mehr Sprachen|Amstedam) enthalten, aber einen auf Deutsch übersetzten Bildtitel den man im Internet dann hauptsächlich oder ausschließlich unter "WP" findet ;) Mitunter suche ich die Daten eines einzelnen derart beschrifteten Bildes stundenlang.

== Deletion of Thompson images ==

Hello,

I would like to know why did you delete following images:
Image:Thompson_Maksimir_17.6.2007_1.jpg
Image:Thompson_Maksimir_17.6.2007_2.jpg
Image:Thompson_Maksimir_17.6.2007_3.jpg

The three had perfect licensing information, and one of them even survived a deletion request: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Image:Thompson_Maksimir_17.6.2007_2.jpg Permission from the original author was mailed to permissions@wikimedia.org on 18 June 2007 13:55, Ticket#2007061810007114. As far as I am aware, everything is in perfect order with the licensing information. Why were the images deleted? --[[Special:Contributions/92.37.114.151|92.37.114.151]] 00:59, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
:Hi there, I had a quick look at the ticket and I noticed the permission is still pending. I'd like to restore the images if you could provide another permission by Goran Katić clearly stating that the content may be published under the {{tl|cc-by-sa-2.5}}.

::What does it mean that it's pending?

== Help... ==

Hi, I just checked my talk page and found out that a bunch of my images was deleted. To be precise:
[[:Image:Kangrga_25.5.2007_3.jpg]], 
[[:Image:Kangrga_25.5.2007_2.jpg]], 
[[:Image:Kangrga_25.5.2007_1.jpg]],

[[:Image:Balasevic_in_home.gif]], 
[[:Image:Balasevic_Krizanke_2004_1.jpg]], 
[[:Image:Nenadjebivi_Krizanke_2004.jpg]]
All of those are work of mine or of my personal friends. And I'm 100% sure I noted that on description page. What else am I supposed to do to keep this pictures from being deleted? This is not work of some professional photographer, those are pictures that were taken by my friends on concerts or while we were visiting some people. Do I really have to send email "my friend took this picture and he says it's OK to put them on wikimedia" for every picture I uploaded while I was contributing? I just don't get it.

:Yeah I know, Commons can sometimes be very inconvenient... Even a mail sent by you to [[COM:OTRS]] would not be sufficient to undelete the images as you're not the original author. In short we need the confirmation of every single copyright holder to publish their works under one of the [[COM:CT|licenses allowed here]] (just as above).

:: Huh. This will be a painful process. I don't remember who the authors of some of this images were, it's been some time. Can you check out the description pages of those images and post "source" parts of the description template? I think I wrote names of original authors there.
:: Author of one image is my ex girlfriend's father. He gave me a verbal permission to do whatever I wish with this photo. Contacting him is not an option, his daughter and I are not in good terms. So, can I just publish it as own work? I'm sure he wouldn't mind as we were on the trip together and if I had brought my camera, I'd be the author anyway (it is pure coincidence that he was the author, not me). Not to mention he doesn't have an email address (at least he didn't have last time I saw him).
::BTW, do you have any idea how can I see which pages used to use this images before they were deleted? Putting those images back on their places on Wikipedia will be an interesting quest.
::When did this policy change anyway? When I was actively contributing we didn't need to go through all of this (if we did, I'd do it back then).

== Orion's Belt Images ==

Hello, you have deleted OrionsbeltBattle.png and OrionsbeltPresentation.png. I'm the author of those images and I'd like to know how to fix this. Thank you. [[Special:Contributions/89.181.79.183|89.181.79.183]] 19:58, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
:Hi there ! Please let me know if you're working for [http://www.orionsbelt.eu/ orionsbelt.eu]. This would be the basis to have the images properly restored.

== Request for deletion ==

Please delete [[Commons:Deletion requests/Series by Nyo|all these]] pictures. Thank you. --[[User:Nyo|Nyo]] ([[User talk:Nyo|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 21:40, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
:Hi Nyo! I understand that you're hoping for a quick solution as this deletion request is in progress for four and a half months now, but I also feel it wouldn't be right to take such an action on the fly. I have to agree with [[Commons:Deletion requests/Series by Nyo#Discussion|Adambro's]] comment here. Feel free to contact me via [[Special:EmailUser/Nagy|Email]] to unveil the whole matter, I'd appreciate it.

== Nagy on hr wiki -> anything else ==

''Anything else'' wasn't occupied either on hr wiki or anywhere else, so Nagy (without contributions over a year from registration) is changed to Anything else :-) 

Try now SUL, I'm a bit late for wishing happy Christmas, but New Year 2009 is (I suppose) ok ;-) [[User:SpeedyGonsales|SpeedyGonsales]] ([[User talk:SpeedyGonsales|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 15:06, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

== OTRS account ==

Hi, ich finde keine Möglichkeit, einen ebensolchen zu beantragen (kann durchaus an meinen etwas ausgeleierten Hirnzellen liegen; oder sind solche bloß für "Höhergestellte" erreichbar?). 

Habe allerdings soeben einen zornigen Kommentar / =die_Bearbeitung_einer_Bildbeschreibung abgegeben, die eine etwas genauere Kenntnis des Vorgangs EIGENTLICH vorausgesetzt hätte -- grundsätzlich könnte der Uploader das Bildchen als Replik selber verfasst haben [was ich aber bezweifle], und SOLCHES ginge nur aus dem OTRS-Ticket hervor. Kannst Du mal [[:File:Laozi drawing the Taijitu.PNG]] diesbezüglich checken? 

Dass ich per Mail grundsätzlich leichter+schneller an- / =rück-sprechbar bin, erwähnte ich vermutlich bereits ''irgendwann.'' lg, [[User:W.|[w.]]] 14:37, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
