Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ajanta.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Swaminarayan

[edit]

Hallo, I have put Category:Swaminarayan back into Category:Hindu deities and Category:Swaminarayan Sampraday. As many pictures and media files as possible should be moved into the right subcategories. Probably one should delete Swaminarayan, if we don't want to call him a Hindu deity in general --Durga (talk) 10:11, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, Redtigerxyz!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

File:Dhumavati.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!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:
  • Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
  • State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
  • If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
  • Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
  • Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Thank you.

Dear Redtigerxyz, You're uploading very nice classical pictures of Hindu mythology on Wikipedia, congratulations for your work. I am looking for extra pictures of Jambudvipa, if you have these, I would be very happy to use them. I'm looking for classical Hindu iconography of the Jambudvipa, but I haven't found them yet.

If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.

The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

Mahavidya

[edit]

Not all the ten. Bengali Hindus mainly worship the first two Mahavidyas (Kali and Tara) and their other forms like Smashankali, Rakshakali etc. Other eight Mahavidyas are not widely seen in Kolkata Kali Puja or Durga Puja pandals. Shodashi, Chhinnamasta, Bagalamukhi and Kamala are not rare, but Bhuvaneshvari, Bhairavi, Dhumavati and Matangi are. There are some Dasamahavidya temples in Kolkata; but taking photographs there is, regrettably, forbidden. I'll try to catch some during the Pujas this year. But you have to wait till Diwali. Jonoikobangali (talk) 09:46, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here you shall find some of the Mahavidyas' photos, as requested. I couldn't post Kamalatmika's photos for some inavoidable reasons and I'll send Tripura Sundari's photo later. Arnab Dutta (talk) 08:51, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Brooklyn Museum - Krishna Battles the Demoness Putana Page from an Unidentified Hindu Manuscript.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 {{PD-self}} 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.

Pranama?

[edit]

If File:Women-stairs-konark-temple-orissa.jpg is not related to Category:Pranama, could you please confirm where it should go, and if there is a name for it? Is there a page on WP where it is described? If not, can we add it somewhere? Wiki-uk (talk) 13:40, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Procession?

[edit]

Could you confirm what is the proper name of the type of procession shown on the two images in the section Wooden sticks (for procession) of the page Objects_used_in_Hindu_worship? Is there a proper name for the sticks as well? Where is this described on WP? Wiki-uk (talk) 13:44, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm extremely sorry then except that I uploaded two more one is still there the other one has been deleted. But now I do know it and I do have uploaded other pictures.....but yeah they surely do not violate copyright violation. I promise it will never ever happen again.

Your Message - "This doesn't seem to be Narasimha. The sculpture has a human bearded face." Please leave a message on file discussion. Will try to identify the correct deity. Please add this to correct forum as well for identification

Rajenver (talk)

Thanks for renaming this file and also for identification of Diety in File:Khajuraho India, Lakshman Temple, Sculpture 12.JPG.

I have also uploaded a few high resolution images for outer-walls of Devi Jagadambi Temple. You can also help in tagging each sculpture. File:Devi_Jagdambi_Temple_Khajuraho_-_Outer_Wall_01.JPG to File:Devi_Jagdambi_Temple_Khajuraho_-_Outer_Wall_12.JPG

Also help in identification of File:Khajuraho_India,_Lakshman_Temple,_Sculpture_05.JPG

I am working on articles on these temples. Correct Identification would help. Thanks. Rajenver (talk) 09:50, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an exact duplicate of the other file and should not have been nominated as such. --Tony Wills (talk) 23:02, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. Although the two images are from the same source, they appear to be different scans, and have a different colour balance (Perhaps User:Abhishekjoshi modified it before upload, or that was all that was available in 2008).
Nor does it matter that they are scans/photos of the same artwork, they are different versions - just as we don't delete the initial upload of File:Kurma, the tortoise incarnation of Vishnu.jpg just because you have made an edited version, we don't delete other versions either.
One image is not just a scaled up/down version of the other, they are different versions that happen to be different sizes. For more explanation see the discussion at User_talk:Romaine#Duplicate_processing --Tony Wills (talk) 20:53, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Clarifications

[edit]

I notice that some of my upload(s) on Wikimedia Commons have been altered and/or nominated despite the fact that..

(1) I legally own most of the images that I have uploaded on Wikimedia Commons, (2) The photographs were taken either my me or by a family member (including ancestors) and I have got the original negatives of most of them, (3) The photographs show our estates and/or residences and the visitors (including Gandhi, Nehru) with a family member, (4) The artist (painter) Beohar Rammanohar Sinha (1929-2007) was my father and the litterateur Beohar Rajendra Simha (1900-1988) was my grandfather, (5) Following my father’s death, I have lawfully inherited all his artworks and paintings solely by way of his WILL which unambiguously authorizes me to handle and use them whichever way I feel appropriate, (6) Even during his lifetime, I was managing all his artworks as <abrsinha@yahoo.co.uk>, (7) Without imposing any conditions, or restricting anyone’s rights, but purely to keep a track of image/file usage outside Wiki, the phrase “Seek consent from <abrsinha@yahoo.co.uk>…” has been inserted. I fully realize that this doesn’t mean much because the uploaded media is now in public domain and freely reproducible.

Hope that the above clarifies and addresses administrators concerns, and that they will now remove all ‘nominations’ from my upload(s). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abrsinha (talk • contribs)

I have proof it is painted by Raja Ravi Varma. here it is http://www.ravivarmaoleographs.com/puranas/puranas2.html. If you are doubt I upload new version.

And statement from website shows it is under PD "This website is exclusively for Ravi Varma’s Oleographs, which is a result of more than 15 years of collection made throughout India. Ravi Varma has painted hundreds of paintings which have spread throughout India (in Palaces and Museums) and other countries like England ,USA, etc.,. Only a portion of Ravi Varma’s paintings got printed as Oleographs. These Oleographs are from 80 to 115 years old, which are hosted as a website. This website is the single largest collection of Ravi Varma's oleographs in India, it says more about Ravi Varma, his style and India’ s cultural heritage . Will serve as a collectors guide (for antique lovers) and help students of art and critics. The development of Indian art cannot be completed without the mention of Ravi Varma’s Contribution. Like many valuable aspects which have been spoken less about Indian heritage, Ravi Varma’s is one such. "--Donaldduck100 (talk) 06:55, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

[edit]

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

  1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
  2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
  3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Important message for file movers

[edit]

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

  • To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
  • To perform file name swaps.
  • When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate

Looks like File:Mandodari based on Raja Ravi Varma's painting.jpg and File:Mandodari based on Raja Ravi Varma's painting (cropped).jpg are the exact same files. 245CMR (talk) 08:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the border, which is better in articles. The original is not replaced as it records the identification as Mandodari and can be used in lithograph articles.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 08:17, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I just removed the borders, which was kept to prove that she is Mandodari. 245CMR (talk) 08:19, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am reverting it to keep it as a proof. 245CMR (talk) 08:20, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sir I would recommend to add the tag to show that both of these files are digitally modified (I fixed some white patches which were present on the source). 245CMR (talk) 08:45, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sita or Shakuntala?

[edit]

File:Raja Ravi Varma, Sita (1901).jpg Who does this img depict as it is sometimes used for Shakuntala ? 245CMR (talk) 08:30, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is confusion. However, a book on Raja Ravi Varma (added as ref on moving) labels it Sita.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 08:34, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks a lot for clearing my confusion 245CMR (talk) 08:35, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry sir but you have mistakenly moved it. The book which you referred uses a lithograph version of the painting. The painting one is Shakuntala (confirmed by Raja Ravi Varma's collectors) while lithograph version is Sita (confirmed by books and website) 245CMR (talk) 13:08, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect after moving a file

[edit]

Hi. Typically we would retain redirects for files that have been on-site for many years and are moved. Redirects are cheap to the system and should not be causing problems.  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:03, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

billinghurst, the redirect is an incorrrect name so needs to be deleted. --Redtigerxyz (talk) 12:19, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It has been around that long, and it is not that misleading. We have no idea what links to it out in the wild, so I think that we can leave it.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:23, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2023) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
