Hello from WikiProject California!

As part of a recent update to our project main page we are conducting a roll call to check which members are still active and interested in working on California related content. If you are still interested in participating, simply move your username from the inactive section of the participant list to the active section. I hope you will find the redesigned project pages helpful, and I wanted to welcome you back to the project. If you want you can take a look at the newly redesigned:

As well as the existing pages:

• Image:Crystal Clear app kedit.pngArticle Worklist
  
• Image:Crystal Clear action editdelete.png Deletion sorting
  

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask at the project talk page, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_California&action=watch add it to your watchlist], if it isn't already.

I just spent some time -- way too much time, but that's my problem, not yours -- delving into the possible original arrangement of the stars on the Brandywine flag, as I couldn't tell, from the image documentation, what you had used for a model. Please have a look at Talk:Brandywine flag#The stamp image vs. the article image. --Thnidu (talk) 02:45, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Image:Ambox warning blue.svg Thanks for uploading :File:Screwattack logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 06:16, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

File:Copyright-problem.svg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to :File:Pressure Cooker - Sprites Big.PNG. 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. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 00:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

File:Copyright-problem.svg

Thanks for uploading :File:Second_Revolution_Flag_2x3.svg in July 2010. I notice the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there may not be a suitable fair-use rationale. I'm not an image-copyright expert so I've started a discussion at Wikipedia:Help_desk#File:Second_Revolution_Flag_2x3.svg. Please join us. --RoyGoldsmith (talk) 01:37, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

File:Copyright-problem.svg

Thank you for uploading :File:Oregonian New Flag Contest Winner.svg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=DevinCook}} a list of your uploads].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Stefan2 (talk) 16:20, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

File:Ambox warning blue.svg Thanks for uploading :File:Sac State Logo Small No Text.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:07, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello,

thank you for detouring :File:Apple II tranparent 800.png! I have uploaded your version to Commons to make it available to all Wikimedia projects. I take the liberty of making two remarks:

• the licence of your version was incorrect: since the original was under the Cc-by-sa-2.0-fr and CeCILL, you do not have the authority to release derivative works a Public Domain, only under the original licence. Similarly, you have to mention the original authors.
• you do not need to downsample the iamge, Wikimedia server do that automatically for thumbnails and previews.

You might know these already since some time has passed since you uploaded this image, in which case forgive me for the notice and consider this as a mere correction of an ancient oversight. Thank you very again for your work, and good continuation! Rama (talk) 00:35, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your encouragement on the California Republic article. I’m fairly new to Wikipedia and would appreciate any help/suggestions on both content and presentation.

A file that you uploaded or altered, :File:Flag of Oregon (2013 Proposed).svg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you object to the listing for any reason. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:51, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Dear Devin, You vectorized the flag of California amazingly. Before 1979 revolution, tricolor Lion and Sun flag was the flag of Iran that still has been using by Iranian diaspora escpecially in the recent demonstations to support Iranians democratic protests. I would be so grateful if you could vectorized [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lion_and_Sun_Tricolor_Flag_2.svg Lion and Sun flag] and upload it in Wikipedia. Shfarshid (talk) 23:35, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm afraid that you need to delete https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Daesun_Jinrihoe_Logo.svg from Commons, because it is non-free. Making an SVG doesn't make it your work. You also can't use it to replace :File:Daesun jinrihoe emblem.jpg, because only low-resolution versions of non-free images are allowed on Wikipedia. See the fair use rationale on that version of the logo. I appreciate efforts to improve graphics, but this wasn't the right one to pick. Fences&Windows 19:09, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
