Thanks for uploading File:25 aniversario.png. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own).
The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:25 aniversario.png]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
Hola muchas gracias!! si tuve problemas con la subida de imagen de Flickr a Wikimedia Commons, por lo que estoy de acuerdo que se borre ya que se tuvo que eliminar de Flickr por un problema de la plataforma, para que después la imagen pueda ser subida de manera correcta.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:25 aniversario.jpeg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:25 aniversario.jpeg]]).
If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work.
If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Buenas. Veo que Ud agregó "Category:Mexico" a muchas imágenes que ya estaban en categorías más exactas. Esto es repetitivo. Las imágenes solo deben estar en la categoría general hasta que puedan ser movidas a una subcategoría mejor. (Si Ud está buscando tareas útiles con categorías, si desea ayudar a limpiar Category:Mexico, que sería muy bienvenido.) Gracias por su trabajo en Commons y por su atención. Saludos, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 14:32, 29 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

I noticed you've uploaded File:Visiting Prague 46.jpg and I thought I should draw your attention to a common error.
Please give uploaded files meaningful names. Otherwise they are difficult to track and it is hard to tell what the file is about without actually looking at it. I suggest you rename your image with an intuitive name that describes the file itself. Thanks, and happy editing!
It is totally not useful to use a generic naming schema. This hampers any potential usability downstream! Please take also not of COM:SPAM; it would be nice if you could curate your imagery before uploading them. Regards, --Grand-Duc (talk) 02:26, 2 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Le agradezco sinceramente por el trabajo que realiza en Wikimedia Commons, manteniendo el proyecto en orden y procurando que los contenidos cumplan con las políticas establecidas. Valoro mucho su dedicación y compromiso. Me gustaría consultarle, si me lo permite, acerca de una plantilla que fue colocada en la imagen de Taz Skylar. He intentado comprender su significado y la razón específica por la que fue agregada, pero hasta el momento no me ha quedado del todo claro.
La fotografía en cuestión fue tomada por mí durante mi visita a La Mole en 2024, en el momento en que conocí a Taz Skylar. Pagué por la sesión y tomé personalmente la imagen, por lo que me gustaría saber si existe algún inconveniente con su publicación o si hay algo que deba aclarar o corregir.
Agradezco de antemano el tiempo que pueda brindarme y quedo atenta a cualquier orientación que pueda ofrecerme al respecto.

Hi, Greetings
The winners for Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 are announced!
We are happy to share with you winning images for this year's edition. This year saw over 85715 images from 1912 uploaders represented on Commons in over 142 countries.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Visiting Kenya National Museum (112).jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.
Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Hola que tal, respondiendo a tu pregunta. hay diversos tipos de Playas. las playas pueden ser naturales, artificiales, rocosas, de arena, de grava, hay playas en océanos, en ríos, en lagos, en represas, en resumen si tu vas a Groenlandia que esta congelada encontraras que tiene playas y si vas a Bolivia que no tiene un centímetro de mar encontraras que tiene playas de arena en el lago Titicaca y hasta islas, una playa no solo se encuentra en un lugar como Cancun o Florida con costa al mar, sino que hay numerosas playas dentro del territorio de los paises a miles de kilómetros de la costa como puedes verificar en las categorias. la definicion aqui mismo es un accidente geográfico junto a una masa de agua que consta de partículas sueltasAunque la orilla se asocia más comúnmente con la palabra playa, también se encuentran junto a lagos y a lo largo de grandes ríos. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playa--Warairarepano&Guaicaipuro (talk) 14:44, 25 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
Hola, muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de responder y por la aclaración. Tenía una idea general sobre la definición y los distintos tipos de playas, pero consideré importante escribir aquí para confirmar si existía alguna otra razón o matiz adicional que se me estuviera escapando. Tu explicación es muy clara y completa, y el enlace que compartes resulta de gran utilidad para comprender mejor el alcance del término.
Aprecio mucho la disposición para orientar y compartir información de esta manera, ya que sin duda enriquece el entendimiento común y mejora el trabajo colaborativo dentro del proyecto.
De nuevo, gracias por la respuesta y la claridad en los detalles.

I have granted event organizer rights to your account which allow you to contribute in the Event namespace using CampaignEvents extension. You have been granted this right after a careful review of your contributions or your association with a Wikimedia affiliate or any campaign such as Wiki Loves Monuments. I believe you would use the rights in the best possible manner and not create event pages that are unrelated to the scope of the project. Should you not need the rights anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks for your contributions. signed, Aafi (talk)16:10, 18 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

On behalf of the Wiki Loves Folklore International Team, we are reaching out to invite you to contribute to the 2026 edition of our global campaign.
Share Your Cultural Heritage with the World
Wiki Loves Folklore is an international media contest dedicated to documenting the "intangible" beauty of our cultures.

How You Can Contribute
Participating is simple, and every upload contributes to the world's largest free knowledge repository:
Capture: Take photos, record videos, or capture audio of folk activities, music, mythology, or traditional wear.
Upload: Share your files on Wikimedia Commons between 1 February 2026 and 31 March 2026.
Win: Beyond the satisfaction of preservation, there are international prizes for the most impactful contributions.
