Euro coin images
Your account on Commons has been blocked for repeatedly violating copyright despite warnings on your talk page there. The images you are adding are not free license, and as such are not acceptable on Commons. If you upload the same images here and use them under fair use on the €2 commemorative coins article, you will be inducing a mass violation of WP:NFCC standards on the use of non-free imagery. More information is available at WP:NFLISTS and WP:NFTABlE. If you have questions, please ask. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 16:15, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm very sorry, Hammersoft! Of course I will not resume uploading Euro coin images! I just did not get the message in time. There was an incoming mail from somebody else at 10:38 (CET) which was indicated by the usual pop-up. Although I did not close my mailing program, your first mail of 10:52 and the whole bunch of those from 16:11 on were not indicated. The moment I realised that there was a problem, was when the uploading got blocked! Only the last two mails of 17:24 were indicated again. Very strange! Both of us would have avoided a lot of unnecessary work otherwise! Before I started uploading yesterday night, I realised that there were two or three recent edits reversed because of copyright violations. But there were (still?) a few coin images, for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Finland_2_euro_2012.jpg (uploaded in July 2012!), which seemed to match the regulations. The German WP does not reject the scans of Euro coins, which I frequently edit (see: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Euro-Gedenkm%C3%BCnzen). Quite strange! Once again: I will follow the given instructions bravely, of course. Regards,--Gerd.Seyffert (talk) 17:08, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * What the German language Wikipedia does is their business. It is likely they have it wrong. For example, de:Datei:€2 commemorative coin Italy 2006.jpg, a coin from Italy, is marked as being public domain thanks to a law in Switzerland. This doesn't make sense. Some European countries do not maintain rights on national sides of Euro coins. But, there are very, very few that do so. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:18, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Hammersoft, could you ask for me to be unblocked, please? I wouldn't like to remain persona non grata at Commons. As I told you, I have no intention to cause any more problems, and the ones which occured were not on purpose. Regards--Gerd.Seyffert (talk) 08:29, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Your block expired about 7 hours after you posted this. If you have any problems, let me know. Happy to help. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:23, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
