Use your pictures
Hi Cybjorg,

I known that you are author of the pictures Image:Wall Patterns.jpg and Image:Sandstone Concretion.jpg. I'd like to illustrate these pictures within the article vi:Đá cát (Vietnamese version of the Sandstone). Please kindly permit me to add/use it within above mentioned article by written. My account in vi.wikipedia.org is vi:User:Vương Ngân Hà. Thanks in advance. Vuong Ngan Ha 09:02, 30 November 2005 (UTC)


 * By all means, feel free to use the pictures. - Cybjorg 15:17, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

About your external link problem: my advice to you is to remove the link as spam and give the anon spam, spam2 and spam3 every time he adds it (in the same way as the "test" templates are given to vandals). If he persists, he can then be blocked. You also may find External links useful. Izehar (talk) 10:13, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Image:Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.jpg
Hi ! I have a bit of a problem with Image:Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.jpg. The site where the photo was taken does not allow reuse at all, and certainly not "use for any purpose". Do you have a letter or something from the original site which backs your claim ? Failing this, the image will have to be removed. Thank you for your understanding.

AMA Request
See my response on the AMA Reqeust Page. --Wgfinley 06:09, 25 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Please don't present the point/counter-point to someone's request on the AMA page, it's not a page for debate, the issue was already duly noted, I tend to think that responding on the page just makes the situation worse and not better, any advocate taking the case (and since he's insisting on being anon doubt that would happen) would look into the issue and see what's going on. --Wgfinley 07:21, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Oh, and I don't see where this issue is in Arb, if you could let me know what case that is it would be helpful. --Wgfinley 07:31, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


 * The situation is addressed here. - Cybjorg 16:49, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Living in the Middle East
Hi Cybjorg. You asked me if my name (Nick) caused me problems when living in the Middle East. You're right that it is close in pronunciation to something rude in Arabic. It didn't really cause any problems although a few of the locals thought it was funny. Jordanians are very courteous people and most were far too polite to mention it even when I asked them. It could have been worse, my friend is called Nikki, she really would have been in trouble ;-) . . . Nick Fraser 05:38, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Coordinates
Hello. Thank you for adding coordinates to the Middle Eastern articles. It looks fine but is bad for use. Try to add Coor dms, which is interactive. See for example the Galata Tower, where I have recently substituted these templates. - Darwinek 13:11, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder. However, I didn't realize that an alternative template was available.  Spot on. - Cybjorg 18:38, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I've added interactivity to the template, which makes it much more usable. I find it a nice alternative to the inline template. - Cybjorg 19:21, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Edit on userpage
I edited your userpage to swap out the flag of Aruba with the SVG one, your page being the last usage of that redundant image. Shouldn't happen again, since all of your other flags are SVGs now. 68.39.174.238 13:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

How long ago was yoru picture of seaworld taken?
Image:Shamu_Stadium.jpg

Could you add an approximate year, season, month maybe to the file description or tell me so I can? Seaworld changes their attractions so often, the statium no longer looks like that and I was wondering when that photo was taken. Thanks!


 * The image was taken on August 30, 2004. I'll append it to the photo data. - Cybjorg 10:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Featured pictures
Have you ever considered nominating your pictures for being Featured Pictures? I've seen the Wadi Rum images and they're spectacular, sure, a little noise, but that could be fixed. --Eshcorp 08:34, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the compliment. I've never really considered it, as I don't really like to 'toot my own horn'.  Feel free to nominated them, if you like. - Cybjorg 06:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Byrd Theater.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Byrd Theater.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 21:24, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Place des Martyrs
I have moved the article that you created to Place des Martyrs, Beirut. This is to disambiguate it from other Places des Martyrs (in particular, the one in Luxembourg, the article on which I just created). Bastin 17:04, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Image request
Hello. I liked the map you made of the old city quarters on wikitravel. How did you do it?! I am asking if you could make another one of the Jewish quarter with the Temple Mount included like it is on the Muslim quarter. The blue border can stay where it is, with the brown line of the old city wall delineating the Temple Mount. I think it would put the location of the quarter into better perspective. Only if it's not too much trouble... Chesdovi 14:23, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I created the map in Adobe Illustrator using scans of maps of the Old City and the surrounding areas. I don't currently have the time to create new maps, but feel free to download the maps (they're available in SVG format) and make the edits yourself.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Earth Sculpture.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Earth Sculpture.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Replaceable fair use Image:Daughters of Odessa.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Daughters of Odessa.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:07, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Palestine Pound 1939 front.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Palestine Pound 1939 front.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

File permission problem with File:MercyMe.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:MercyMe.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

Please attribute or claim media you uploaded or restored: File:Aya Sophia by David Bjorgen.jpg
You uploaded or restored, File:Aya Sophia by David Bjorgen.jpg, but for various reasons did not add an information block, or indicate your (user) name on the file description page. Media uploaded to Wikipedia needs information on the SPECIFIC authorship and source of files, to ensure that it complies with copyright laws in various jurisdictions.

If it's entirely your own work: please include own in the relevant source field, amend the information added by a third party, ensuring that your user name (or name you want used for attribution) is clear in the author field, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant (if such a license is not already used). You should also add an |author= parameter to the license tag, to assist reviews and image patrollers.

If it's not entirely your own work, or the media is based on the work of others:

Please update the source and authorship fields, so that they accurately reflect the source and authors of the original work(s), as well as the derivative you created. You should also not use a "self" license unless the work is entirely you own. Media that is incorrectly claimed as self or own, will eventually be listed at Files for Discussion or deleted, unless it's full status is entirely clear to other contributors, reviewers and image patrollers. You should also read Requesting copyright permission which details how to confirm any permissions you obtained for works by others that are still in copyright.

Whilst this notification, relates to a single media upload, it would also be appreciated if you could ensure that appropriate attribution exists for other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log].

If media is not claimed, and there's no other obvious source or authorship information, the file may have to be removed for copyright reasons.

It's okay to remove or strike messages like this once the concerns have been addressed. :). ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:31, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
