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. Could you please resolve these problems, which are described on the page linked in above? Thank you.- There is still a problem with the images; what is the source of the images? If you took the pictures yourself, please indicate so on the image description pages. --Iamunknown 06:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Images of the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland
[edit]Hi Patrick, thanks for adding German descriptions to the images from the HDS that I uploaded. However, would it be possible to add without removing the French one that were there ? Or without mixing German text in a French caption, as in this modification ? You can add descriptions in several languages using templates such as {{fr|...}} or {{de|...}}, etc. Best wishes, Schutz (talk) 21:57, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Hallo Pakeha, die einzelnen Fotos in dieser Montage stammen alle von dir oder hängt diese Tafel dauerhaft außen im öffentlichen Raum? --Túrelio (talk) 20:26, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- Ja, es ist eine Tafel im öffentlichen Raum --Pakeha (talk) 20:31, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, ich habe es FOP-getaggt. Vielleicht kannst du im Author-Feld irgendwie zum Ausdruck bringen, dass die "Reproduktion" von dir stammt, nicht aber die Einzelfotos, falls du den ursprünglichen Photographen nicht kennst. --Túrelio (talk) 20:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
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.CategorizationBot (talk) 13:46, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2015 is open!
[edit]You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2015 Picture of the Year contest.
Dear Pakeha,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2015 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the tenth 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 (2015) 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. In Round 1, there were 1322 candidate images. There are 56 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category. In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 2 will end on 28 May 2016, 23:59:59 UTC.
Thanks,
-- Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 09:43, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Wikimedia CH Unterstützung
[edit]Hi Pakeha,
ich interessiere mich dafür dass meine Uploads von der Wikimedia CH unterstützt werden. Ich möchte keine persönliche Gegenleistung sondern dass Wikimedia CH als Gegenleistung das Uploaden einfacher macht, (ich kann den Upload Wizard oft nur mit einem Work Around nutzen, weiss auch nicht warum und bekomme auch keine Antwort wenn ich um Hilfe anfrage). Auch der ImageAnnotator wäre eine Unterstützung wert, das habe ich allerdings schon per mail thematisiert, doch bekam ich da keine Antwort wie ich dazu an [email protected] schrieb.
Wie kommt man mit Wikimedia CH sonst noch in Kontakt?
Liebe Grüsse,
