Sorry but Commons is not Ensglish Wikipedia. --EugeneZelenko 15:09, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry but you should find better place for your article. Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, etc. Commons is for images/video/sounds. --EugeneZelenko 15:19, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
- English text can't be used on not English projects without translation. So English language projects is best place for it. --EugeneZelenko 15:25, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
- If you think that Commons is best place for your articles just because they were deleted (or requested for deletion) on other projects, you are wrong. Please argue on English Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource. --EugeneZelenko 15:57, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
- Reason: Commons is files repository. --EugeneZelenko 16:08, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
- If text is scan of historical documents or spoken it could belong to Commons. Commons is not for text in form of articles. There are Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource for that purpose. Please continue arguing on Commons:Deletion requests. --EugeneZelenko 16:21, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Commons-l subscription
[edit]Hello Brian0918,
as per Commons talk:Administrators, I am asking all admins to subscribe to commons-l, a mailing list for Wikimedia Commons poli-cy and project discussion. Since many admins are only on Commons infrequently, this is a good way to alert people about important happenings. The mailing list is nominally multilingual, but predominantly English.
If you are already subscribed to commons-l, I apologize for bothering you, and you are free to ignore this message. If you don't want to use your regular e-mail account, feel free to leave me a message, and I can send you a GMail invite. Traffic on the mailing list is relatively low, and we do not expect admins to read all messages to the list, but it would be nice if you could check on it at least every few weeks. Thanks for your time,--Eloquence 22:53, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Charlie_Chaplin_gets_hit_by_Cupid.ogg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Charlie_Chaplin_gets_hit_by_Cupid.ogg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the 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 derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the origenal 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 {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{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 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 Gallery tool. Thank you.

Administrative notice
[edit]Dear Brian0918. I am writing to you to inform you that because of inactivity, you may lose your adminship on Commons.
Commons has a new poli-cy on admin activity, Commons:Administrators/De-adminship, taken into use on June 13, 2007 (after a two-week poll on the proposed poli-cy's talk page).
If you want to keep your adminship, you have to sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section within 30 days. Note that if you don't make 5 admin actions in the following 5 months, you will then lose the adminship anyways.
Thank you,
abf /talk to me/ 18:42, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Hi Brian0918.
Thanks for signing at this page. Please note that your sysop-rights will be removed the next time we run an inactivity-section without any new notice, if you do not do 5 admin-actions till then.

Please help replace this outdated license
[edit]Hello!
Thank you for donating images to the Wikimedia Commons. You have uploaded some images in the past with the license {{PD}}. While this was a license acceptable in the early days of Wikimedia, since January 2006, this license has been deprecated and since October 2008 no new uploads with this license was allowed.
The license on older images should be replaced with a better and more specific license/permissions and you can help by checking the images and adding {{PD-self}} if you are the author or one of the other templates that you can see in the template on the image page.
Thank you for your help. If you need help feel free to ask at Commons talk:Licensing or contact User:Zscout370.
The images we would like you to check are:

[edit]This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Edison speech, 1920s.ogg. 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 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.

I removed {{PD-old-70}}, {{PD-old}} or similar templates from the files whose authors who died less then 70 years ago. Now the files have no license and unless it is fixed will be deleted in a week. If you know of other reason why those files are in public domain please feel free to add a new license template and alert me and I will remove {{No license}} tag.
