User talk:MGalloway (WMF)

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, MGalloway (WMF)!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Hi Mun May, please cite the image sources, used on this cover, in the source-entry. In addition I would recommend you to write something on your userpage User:MGalloway (WMF), as a red-linked userpage doesn't look good, especially for someone working for the WMF ;-). --Túrelio (talk) 07:49, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Since the Frieda Kahlo painting is under copyright (as @Túrelio: noted on their user talk page), I have now nominated this one for deletion. -Pete F (talk) 18:21, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi MGalloway (WMF), this presentation contains quite a number of images without any credit/source information, such as the cat image on slide #28, the animal photo and drawings on slide #21, the design-images on slides #9 to #11, #14. Please add this information to the presentation. Adding it only to the description would not be sufficient, as someone who obtains only the presentation will not see it. Thanks. --Túrelio (talk) 06:36, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

@Túrelio, MGalloway (WMF): - any plans to address these attribution/copyright issues? -Pete F (talk) 17:30, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Pete F, I could really use some help here on how to do them right. I still don't know what to do to my future images even though these are now nominated for deletion.MGalloway (WMF) (talk) 08:22, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Pete F, I could appreciate some help here on how to do them right. I still wouldn't know what to do to my future images even though these are now nominated for deletion.MGalloway (WMF) (talk) 08:27, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

I can show you how to format them, if you can supply the information needed -- just make a list here, for each photo:

• Who took the photo, ideally with a link to the photo on Commons or another web site
• What license was it released under, and (especially if it was not taken by a WMF staff member) where is it documented that it was released under that license

If you can put a list here, I'd be happy to put it in the proper format on the file description page. (In addition, I would hope that there are resources at WMF to help you with this sort of thing, so that you do not have to rely on the kindness of volunteers -- but that may be a question for another day.) -Pete F (talk) 14:59, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

The new version you uploaded seems to be off-center. Was this deliberate? --Yair rand (talk) 04:44, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Yes, this is to align with the baseline of the standard 16px text that is located 5px above from the bottom of the canvas. MGalloway (WMF) (talk) 04:49, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
