Hello!
Thank you for uploading File:Spot the Ritz 2009.jpg to the Wikimedia Commons. I noticed that when you uploaded from another Wikimedia project, you left out some important information, or copied it incorrectly. In the future, please consider using CommonsHelper, a tool which automates the process of moving files over. Thank you,

- In this case, the license was wrong, and one should probably have a link to the userpage of the uploader. Diff Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 12:35, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the photos, they've been great. And you're quite correct about Wikipedia's culture. The editor's are a bunch of authoritarian gate-keepers bent on excluding others. Sad. I didn't see Diary of a Man in Dispair, so I'll look farther. George.boeck (talk) 22:31, 7 April 2017 (UTC) |

- Emha, the above file is just a crop of a larger image, which still remains in Category:Homeless people of Australia. Sardaka (talk) 07:41, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Sardaka, your're right and I restored the file. If you upload a pic extracted from another here in Commons please use the {{Extracted image}}-template. According to the information you gave on the file page it was impossible for the flickr reviewer (and me) to see that you re-used a file with a valid licence here on Commons.

See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.
Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.Naming conventionEdit
Hello Sardaka, could you please use more distinctive filenames? Names such as File:(1)Tawny Frogmouth-1.jpg and File:(1)Tawny frogmouth-1.jpg are really confusing. (Many of your files are listed here.)
My another question is, why do you use prefix (1) for your photos? It's also making mess in the category sorting as the brackets are sorted first. Regards — Draceane talkcontrib. 14:03, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
Another naming conventionEdit
Hi Sardaka - also please note, for bird (and other animal, and plant) categories, Commons uses scientific names, not English names. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 10:55, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

St Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral PhotoEdit
Hi Sardaka
This is not Sydney. The GPS coordinates are correct and point to a map of Perth, Western Australia. I am not sure how the word Sydney got there. I did not upload the image directly to commons, I uploaded this and others through a special wiki media competition page for historical sites. It is possible that the process of uploading to the competition page and the files being placed in commons someone or something, indexed this against St Mary's in Sydney. This is an error, it should be St Mary's in Perth. By the way, the copyright status was assigned by Wikimedia, I myself (the owner of the work), am happy for this and the other 100 or so photos uploaded for this competition (dated 11, 12 and 13 September 2018 on my contributions page), to be placed in the Public Domain (for unrestricted use).
Sorry for any confusion.
Regards Travis
====================Edit
Hi. Am trying to clarify the situation regarding your photo, . The description says it's St Mary's in Sydney, but it doesn't look much like the one in Sydney at all. Can we clarify this?

FigbirdsEdit
Hi! In 2019 you uploaded some pictures of a figbird and put it in Sphecotheres viridis folder. Are you sure this is correct name of that bird? Sphecotheres viridis lives on Timor island only (Indonesia), not in Australia. Only Australasian figbird (Sphecotheres vieilloti) lives in Australia. Of course you could make your photos in zoo, but I suspect, it's just a mistake. Can you confirm it? Pikador (talk) 18:36, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- This is because these taxons were treated as one species once – Australasian Figbird (Sphecotheres vieilloti) was formerly considered a subspecies of S. viridis. They were split and now they are classified as separate species. So if you made your pictures in Australia in Sydney as you stated, it means this is Australasian Figbird (Sphecotheres vieilloti). Pikador (talk) 10:37, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- OK, I just want to confirm, you made these pictures in Sydney in wild (not in zoo or bird park)? Pikador (talk) 09:06, 5 March 2021 (UTC) Yes, in the wild. Sardaka (talk) 07:59, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
FilenamesEdit
Could you try to be a little more distinct with your filenames? It's ridiculous to have (for instance) file:(1)Noisy_Miner.jpg, file:(1)Noisy_miner.jpg, and file:(1)noisy_miner.jpg, which are three completely different images (although, to be fair, they are all Noisy Miners).
(As are File:(1)Noisy miner-2.jpg and File:(1)Noisy Miner-2.jpg, and File:(1)Noisy Miner 013.jpg and File:(1)Noisy miner 013.jpg, and File:(1)Noisy miner Kensington Park-1.jpg and File:(1)Noisy Miner Kensington Park-1.jpg, and... )
These are good images, it's just that better filenames will make them more accessible and usable. DS (talk) 18:57, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
Geo coords of File:(1)Nielsen Park002.jpgEdit
Hey there, I'm SHB2000 from the English Wikivoyage, and I just wanted to ask you the coordinates for this photo so I can add it to voy:Sydney Harbour National Park. If you don't remember, do you know where about is it in the park? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! SHB2000 (talk) 07:50, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Little Ravens or Australian Ravens?Edit
Hi. I notice you have many great photos of ravens in Category:Corvus mellori. However, many of them are labeled as being in various parts of Sydney, meaning they're almost certainly Australian ravens (Corvus coronoides) and not Little Ravens (Corvus mellori).
I'm not an expert in corvid taxonomy but here's a quote from ebird on Identifying Australian Raven and Little Raven in south-east Australia:
- "In New South Wales, both Australian and Little Ravens are widespread across much of the state. Australian Ravens are the only corvid likely to be encountered in Sydney although Little Ravens can be found on the western outskirts." — https://ebird.org/australia/news/identifying-australian-raven-and-little-raven-in-south-east-australia (it's actually an interesting page and worth a read and listen)
This video from BirdLife Australia says similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a1LpK44saU
Would you be able to re-classify your photos? Have a good one. Cheers, Pengo (talk) 13:44, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
The filename suggests that the focus is the bridge, but the description says:
- girl on train, Sydney
This suggests that the focus is the girl. What were you trying to capture in this photo? Also, did the girl consent? Brianjd (talk) 14:39, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
