You said that you added transparency to this image, but it doesn't seem to work (see User:Zachary/Sandbox). Zachary talk 14:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Emily baby edit
Hi, I asked author for permission to use this image on cc-by-2.0 licence and he gave me permission without changing licence on Flickr. I believe that it's not violation of his copyrights. Filip em 12:04, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Flickr edit
Please check a flickr user’s uploads. A lot of people just „collect“ there files from the web (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:1247963227_d50a97408f.jpg). Regards, --Polarlys 17:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Ascaron edit
You told me that my logo of jaguar was a copyright violation. I found another image of logo which is published under a free license. How can I change my image ??
Dover boat edit
Zachary, thanks for catching my mistake regarding my upload of Image:DoverBronzeAgeBoat.jpg - I presume the problem is the "no commercial use", is that correct? I was wondering, would it be in order for me to contact the author and ask if they would be willing to release it under one of the Wikimedia Commons-compatible licenses? If so, which would be better? There are two Flickr people who have posted nice pictures of this lovely boat, but both have added the same non-commercial clause. I'm writing a history section for w:boat, BTW. Reply, here, I'll watch this page. Thanks, 74.71.217.163 04:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC) Walkerma 04:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- Would I be better off using this image, which is used at w:Dover Bronze Age Boat? (I just found this!). Thanks, Walkerma 04:15, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images edit
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) 23:24, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
