non-free rational on free image
editYou recently uploaded File:Songbird 1.4.3 Ubuntu 9.10.png tagged with a nonfree rational and a free license, if you have done this because the upload form added it automatically and you don't believe that the screenshot is non-free then read below.
License for images
editWhen I uploaded the File:Acid3detailSafari4.png and File:Acid3detailMidori0.1.9.png the form asked me if I got that shot from a GPL program, and so the screenshot file is GPL too. I choosed that option uploading the file. I do not understand what I had to write more and in which field of images file, to prevent deleting. Can you help me? Thanks --Efa (talk) 14:19, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- The files have a free license and a non-free rational.You can't be free and non-free at the same time.Why did you use the non-free rational template, was your intention to uses something like this {{information}} or did you believe that all files need a rational?Btw possible unfree file is not a deletion discution.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 14:32, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
I never chosed the templete, I followed the guided steps, and the template was chosed automatically.
I describe the procedure I used for upload, so you can explain where is the error:
- clicked to left menu, Upload file, point to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Upload
- Chosed the link "A screenshot taken of a movie, TV program, computer game, web site, computer program, music video, or other such source" because the file is a screenshot of a computer program. Point to: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-screenshot&wpUploadDescription={{Non-free use rationale%0A+|Article+++++++++++=+%0A+|Description+++++++=+%0A+|Source++++++++++++=+%0A+|Portion+++++++++++=+%0A+|Low_resolution++++=+%0A+|Purpose+++++++++++=+%0A+|Replaceability++++=+%0A+|other_information+=+%0A}}
- filled the fields, leaving empty the fields not needed, as say here "If you are uploading a screenshot which is not copyrighted (such as freely-licensed software), you do not need to include a fair use rationale."--Efa (talk) 10:44, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hmm got to talk to someone about that form, ok so here is how things stand only use non-free rational if you are uploading a unfree image ex:screenshot of copyrighted program etc. or image with unfree elements like screenshot of internet explorer (fairuse rational for iexplorer) viewing wikipedia (free wikipedia web page screenshot).The reason it ads a Non-free use rationale by default its because 99% of screenshots uploaded are unfree. So if you want to upload a 100% free image to wikipedia and the standard options give you ex:<Chosed the link "A screenshot taken of a movie, TV program, computer game, web site, computer program, music video, or other such source"> produse a rational by default try the Entirely my own work option. Or better yet if the image is 100% free, upload direct to commons. We are currently in the process of moving all free images to commons and your files will get moved ther eventually anyway.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 11:11, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
I hope that more than 1% of the software is uncopyrighted ;-) In any case I'm not using Wiki Commons, because my account has different username there, and my user is busy, so I cannot unify them I also hope that, but we systematically moved and are moving to commons free screen shots and other free stuff so it will get there .Eventually there will bee 1% free stuff on en wikipedia the rest of the 99% free will be on commons.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 05:30, 14 January 2010 (UTC) --Efa (talk) 23:21, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Free use image template
editYou have tagged 3 images that I uploaded on Subtext as conflicting license. But that was the default generated wikitext since I used the image upload wizard/script. And the free use template does not exist/has been deleted. I've not intentionally tagged my images as free + nonfree but Wikipedia is designed that way.
So what do you want me to do? -- Tom Jenkins (reply) 14:53, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- If the images are free replace the rational with the {{information}} template and remove the {{conflicted-license}} tag.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 14:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- see License for images section in the 2010 partial collapsible section above--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 15:02, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. Images updated. That wizard script needs to change. See if you can get it done. -- Tom Jenkins (reply) 15:15, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Upload form
edit{{adminhelp}}
someone please update the upload form so it doesn't add nonfree rational to free screenshots a radio button free non-free that add information and rational respectively or whatever you think is apropriet.See above discussion and License for images section in the 2010 partial collapsible section for reference on the problem.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 15:19, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- We already have a notice on the upload form for that (see here). Though I doubt the English Wikipedia will do much else in that regard, you can propose the change at the village pump. Blurpeace 01:41, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
::PS.
Thank you for uploading free images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view previous uploads by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'file' namespace from the drop down box (or see [1]). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 18:46, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
editHello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:50, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
