Date of work

[edit]

Thanks for responding to my entry about the date of an image when uploading. Some people seem to think we can get around this, but how can I get around it when I get a message saying I have to give the date? And why is this necessary at all? Sardaka (talk) 12:49, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Use {{Other date}}, with a suitable value. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:19, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
File:Ryan Snyder - (9537237719).jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Why did you revert my sorting? Definite articles are normally put after the main name as standard, see w:WP:SORTKEY and as far as I was aware building number categories are sorted by the road not the name of the building on it. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:53, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted for the latter; please point to evidence of a consensus for sorting on that basis. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:05, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not aware of any specific consensus but I would have thought that would be logical. Crouch, Swale (talk) 15:15, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Mr Thomas Bolton's Natural History Discoveries - Nature - 1879 - 21 (526) 81–82.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 {{self|cc-zero}} 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 VRT 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.

Did you even look at the page? The author died in 1887. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:37, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
