File source is not properly indicated: File:Varney-Parkes.png

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Varney-Parkes.png, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. 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. 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!

File:Spot the Ritz 2009.jpg

Hello! Thank you for uploading File:Spot the Ritz 2009.jpg to the Wikimedia Commons. I noticed that when you uploaded from another Wikimedia project, you left out some important information, or copied it incorrectly. In the future, please consider using CommonsHelper, a tool which automates the process of moving files over. Thank you,

What did I leave out? @Magog the Ogre: Message text.Sardaka (talk) 06:24, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

In this case, the license was wrong, and one should probably have a link to the userpage of the uploader. Diff Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 12:35, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

	Thanks for the photos, they've been great. And you're quite correct about Wikipedia's culture. The editor's are a bunch of authoritarian gate-keepers bent on excluding others. Sad. I didn't see Diary of a Man in Dispair, so I'll look farther. George.boeck (talk) 22:31, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

An unfree Flickr license has been found on File:Manifest Your Destiny (4054490433)a.jpg

---

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons from Flickr, File:Manifest Your Destiny (4054490433)a.jpg, has been reviewed by an administrator or reviewer and found available on Flickr under the license Noncommercial (), No derivative works (), or All Rights Reserved (), which isn't compatible with Wikimedia Commons, per the licensing policy. Unless the Flickr user changes the license to one that Wikimedia Commons accepts, the file will be speedily deleted. Commons:Flickr files/Appeal for license change has information about sending the Flickr user an appeal asking for the license to be changed. Only Flickr images tagged as (CC BY), (CC BY-SA) or (CC0) are allowed on Wikimedia Commons. Once the license on Flickr is changed, you may replace the {{Unfree Flickr file}} tag with {{Flickrreview}} so that an administrator or reviewer can review the image again.

Emha, the above file is just a crop of a larger image, which still remains in Category:Homeless people of Australia. Sardaka (talk) 07:41, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Sardaka, your're right and I restored the file. If you upload a pic extracted from another here in Commons please use the {{Extracted image}}-template. According to the information you gave on the file page it was impossible for the flickr reviewer (and me) to see that you re-used a file with a valid licence here on Commons. Thanks, --Emha (talk) 08:53, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Deleted content

---

Hello Sardaka,

the following content you uploaded is not free and therefore has been or will soon be deleted:

File:PAVS 1017675023 d6cd6a7eb6 b.jpg

The Wikimedia Commons (this website) only hosts media files which can be used for any purpose, including:

• use in any work, regardless of content
• creation of derivative works
• commercial use
• free distribution

See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.

Please make sure that you only upload works you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.

Yours sincerely, — Racconish ^💬 12:43, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Naming convention

Hello Sardaka, could you please use more distinctive filenames? Names such as File:(1)Tawny Frogmouth-1.jpg and File:(1)Tawny frogmouth-1.jpg are really confusing. (Many of your files are listed here.)

My another question is, why do you use prefix (1) for your photos? It's also making mess in the category sorting as the brackets are sorted first. Regards — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 14:03, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Another naming convention

Hi Sardaka - also please note, for bird (and other animal, and plant) categories, Commons uses scientific names, not English names. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 10:55, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Ibis Randwick Pond 003.jpg

Copyright status: File:Ibis Randwick Pond 003.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Ibis Randwick Pond 003.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 created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) 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 OTRS 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.
