Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Mr.Nostalgic!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Issue with file naming in uploads

You have carried out several uploads using a very poor file-naming convention. As a result, the file descriptions are often incorrect or illogical. Please refrain from doing this in the future, as it is not feasible for us to manually rename all files. Thanks, Carolus (talk) 10:30, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Can you give some examples? Mr.Nostalgic (talk) 10:38, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Here, example. - Carolus (talk) 10:53, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

If you follow the link, you can see the logic behind it. Since i upload these files with an automated program i cannot see upfront how many characters are needed to describe what is depicted. Hence i take as many characters as i can to make the discription as clear as possible.

And remember, you do not have to rename these files. This work is on a voluntary base.

Regards, Alf Mr.Nostalgic (talk) 11:07, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

The use of multiple languages in the naming is not desired. If you want to add extra date, other fields are available for this purpose. This approach creates unnecessary noise, does not add value results in automated processes working less effectively and disrupts the project; i hope you understand.

failed scans

Hi, the following files contain failed scans:

• File:Pyrrha werpt met stenen, objectno PK.OPB.0146.006.jpg
• File:Titelplaat, objectno PK.OPB.0146.002.jpg

The error lies with the original provider of the scans, i.e. the museum. --Túrelio (talk) 11:28, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me. I made deletion requests for them. Regards, Alf Mr.Nostalgic (talk) 12:11, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

proxy.handle.net links broken

For example, http://proxy.handle.net/10648/ac98bc3c-d0b4-102d-bcf8-003048976d84, used here no longer redirects to the file, now going to https://www.nationaalarchief.nl/onderzoeken/zoeken?activeTab=nts Can the many "perma"links be repaired? JayCubby (talk) 00:51, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Also, spaarnestadphoto moved to the Nationaal Archief, so links there will need to be fixed as well. JayCubby (talk) 00:07, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Be my guest.

Regards Mr.Nostalgic (talk) 05:04, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

I wasn't sure if you knew of a means to automate it. Never mind then... JayCubby (talk) 16:49, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

I understand. If there was an option then i would try it. However, even permalinks are not what they stand for. Regards, Alf Mr.Nostalgic (talk) 17:39, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Interieur van jhr. Willem van Andringa in Groningen, 1910, archiefnr 329-02.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 {{self|cc-zero}} 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.

Hi Mr.Nostalgic, the date-entry for this image should be corrected as it's obviously wrong. --Túrelio (talk) 10:37, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

inconsistent naming of depicted person

Hi Mr.Nostalgic, in the description of these 2 images File:Portret fan Hoatse de Jong, 1981 ca. signatuur Jong, Hotze de F-0021.jpg and File:Portret fan Hoatse de Jong, 1981 ca. signatuur Jong, Hotze de F-0022.jpg the name of the depicted is written in 2 different ways, Hoatse de Long and Hotze the Jong. Which one is correct? --Túrelio (talk) 10:23, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Hoi Túrelio,

Ik denk dat de ene in Fries is en de andere in Nederlands.

Groetjes, Alf Mr.Nostalgic (talk) 13:01, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
