Ok, I know now that I am not a reviewer
I just realized what "trusted user" meant, and I realized that I have been uploading images from Flickr and saying that "trusted user J.delanoy has reviewed them. I apologize for accidentally lying, and if any of my images are questionable, please yell at me and/or delete the images. Thanks. J.delanoy 17:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, everybody makes mistakes. To get trusted user, you will need to show you know our policy regarding copyright, and licensing. --Kanonkas(talk) 14:21, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, you have a chance. First try to review/tag some images, do some deletion discussions nominate images to COM:DR. You have already uploaded some pictures. Do it for some time so we know you know our licenses. You know when you see a copvyio? Well you'll get more experienced as time past :) Best regards --Kanonkas(talk) 11:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
About the footballer
That was just me being way too trigger happy. I saw a footballer, I saw low resolution, I didn't read that it was cropped from something else so I was like "DELETE IT". I realised my mistake a few seconds later and undeleted it. Sorry about that. Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 15:14, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- No problem at all. ;) Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 15:25, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Cpyright violations
You asked about this on my talk page. Another page that gives useful advice is Commons:How to detect copyright violations. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:43, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Eta carinae
Done, 36h. -mattbuck (Talk) 03:10, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
RE: Hi.
Done. I'm surprised it wasn't protected here or uploaded locally as they usually are. Thanks for letting me know. :-) -Rjd0060 (talk) 03:43, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- Either one is fine. If you upload locally to en.wp just tag it with w:Template:C-uploaded. Thanks again. - Rjd0060 (talk) 14:20, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Many thanks for adding OTRS permission to this file. Please could you check that the same email doesn't also cover File:Clarence Crafoord.jpg, File:Arne Larsson.jpg and File:First pacemaker (Siemens-Elema 1958).jpg? Best wishes, RupertMillard (talk) 20:44, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- It did cover them, I just didn't notice. Pages updated now. J.delanoygabsadds 21:18, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- Very many thanks. I'm so pleased! A few years ago a company released some pictures to me for Wikipedia, and because all the Is and Ts weren't dotted, they've since had to be deleted. So I'm really grateful people like you are ensuring everything's in order. RupertMillard (talk) 21:58, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Tip: Categorizing images
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.BotMultichillT 06:01, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Image:Bundeskanzleramt (Bonn) Erdgeschoss 2009.jpg is uncategorized since 11 June 2009.
OTRS info needed
I had a look at File:Yad Mordechai Products.jpg, which was uploaded to the commons on April 4, 2009. According to Commons:License Migration Task Force/Migration, files first published under the GFDL somewhere other than a Wikimedia project, must have been uploaded to Commons or to some other Wikimedia project before November 1, 2008. I just wanted to make sure that it was never published with a GFDL license before it was uploaded here. Guy0307 (talk) 07:33, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
