Why is Israel shown green? The only languages with official status are Hebrew and Arabic... AnonMoos 09:00, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

• shrug* either I made a mistake in moving it from the png version of the file, or the version of the file I started from had an error.

Brianski - I would love to do something like you mentioned on my talk page. It is always changing, though - a living, breathing data set that I am attempting to tackle as each day/week/month passes. What were you thinking? Rarelibra 19:20, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Albanian-3.svg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Albanian-3.svg. 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|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version 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.

Hello, and thank your for sharing your files with Commons. There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. Please remember that all uploads require source, author and license information. Could you please resolve these problems, which are described on the page linked in 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 information may be missing. Thank you.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Brianski!

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"). Pro-tip: The CommonSense tool can help you find the best category for your image.

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.

PROTEST

This is a false map: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Slavic_languages.png#filehistory

• Croatian and Serbian are two different languages, see documents:

            1. http://europa.eu/about-eu/facts-figures/administration/index_en.htm

I actually didn't put the languages together, I only changed the format of the file. Please note that it is widely accepted outside of the areas that speak it that Serbo-Croatian forms a single language with various standard forms / dialects. Regards. Brianski (talk) 00:18, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

WARNING

Your map of Slavic languages is a dangerous political provocation, which insults the millions of people, you must immediately stop political provocations!
