Copyright status: File:Kocharyan Suren Akimovich.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Kocharyan Suren Akimovich.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. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Please indicate or clarify image location

Hello! Thank you for your many contributed images. This is just a reminder to please indicate location in the description- with plants and insects, location can be very important for determining species. I assume that file names including Ateret and Tel Aviv are from Israel, and the files with Camera coordinates are very helpful, but when coordinates are lacking, clearly stating for example "green moth, Ateret, West Bank, Israel" or something similarly specific, will help immensely. You can also add relevent categories like Insects of Israel. All the best. -Animalparty (talk) 00:30, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

• OK. I will take a sweep on the pictures to put in coordinates. Can you help with identification of my arthropoda pictures?. Sir Shurf (talk) 01:21, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

review

•  Comment Must connect the scope to the category that contains the image --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:07, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment Viewing the correct syntax of scope. The binomial is always in italics. The caption of the picture is wrong it must be redone. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:30, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
• What is the meaning of "wrong caption"? What should be corrected? Sir Shurf (talk) 05:49, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
• insect looks dead to me. Charles (talk) 08:09, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
• Following the pictures taken, cicada flew to the bushes. "Being dead" posture is a survival trait for many insects when something strange (like a flash) happens. Sir Shurf (talk) 11:52, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
  :** interesting - thanks for that explanation. Charles (talk) 13:10, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment In the legend of the picture it is written: "Unidentified Cicadidae". You must give the name binomial (in italics) and place of the taking of the picture. A picture is worth nothing without a caption. Care of your Captions. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:28, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

• OK, I rewrote the caption. Sir Shurf (talk) 20:00, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Somov V V.jpg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Somov V V.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!
