Loading commons from external server wiki.openstreetmap.

org doesn't always load all

commons hosted files
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Road_signs_in_the_Philippines - shows a
lot of media and I can load all of that within a second and all the embedded media
is shown without issues.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_the_Philippines/sign_lookup_table
- This page I created for OSM with the specific DPWH of the Republic of the
Philippines ID's for the OSM project.. it links to the wikimedia commons yet for
some reason - it doesn't load all the embedded media always. sometimes it does,
sometimes it doesn't and loading takes 20+ seconds

So is this a problem of the wiki page I created on OSM? Did I do something wrong?
Is this because of the server of OSM, something wrong with the server? � Preceding

It seems to load slower on my mobile telephone too, perhaps Open Street Maps itself
has an issue or there is a delay in communication between Open Street Maps and the
Wikimedia Commons. This question could also be asked at the Technical Village Pump
where people have more knowledge about such technical things. --Donald Trung ?????

uploading a picture of a flag
Hi, I want to opload an image of our clubflag (VlagKleinNTSV.jpg). I get a message
first that the name of the file is not specific enough, if I rename to more
specific (Vlag Klein NTSV November 2021.jpg), is is not allowed in a broader
context. The design/copyright of the flag is mine and the club. Can you help me
out? Joost Dikken, user JoostDikken, president of NTSV, ntsv.nl (also on

@JoostDikken: , you could upload it but you need to verify it through the
Commons:VRT to verify that you're in fact the designer of the flag. If you send
them all the files they might assist you in uploading, be sure to pick a good file
name and at (some) Wikipedia's you should disclose any possible conflict of
interest that you have with the organisation before adding the flag there. --Donald

@JoostDikken: Depending on the design of the flag, there might not be a copyright
at all if it is very simple. So for example this NTSV image would not be
copyrighted in the Netherlands. Is that the flag you would like to upload? De728631

Perhaps you're referring to the fact that the Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons
(SDC) has enabled a new search engine by default, this could be the reason why the
ability to search pages has changed. I have unfortunately have to disable it myself
as it doesn't do many of the basic things that the old search engine used to Do. --

Can works licensed under the GNU GPLv3 be uploaded?
I�ve looked at Commons:Copyright tags/GNU licenses, but it only lists GPLv2(.1)(+),
and not GPLv3. Is the GPLv3 compatible with Wikimedia Commons?
Theanswertolifetheuniverseandeverything (talk) 11:00, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

@Theanswertolifetheuniverseandeverything: They are not mentioned at that page, but

we do have {{GPLv3}} and {{GPLv3 only}}. The former also includes any later version
of the GPL licence that may occur. Please note though, that GPL should not be the
only licence if the work is your own creation and it is not a piece of software
(see Commons:Licensing#GNU Free Documentation License). If it is somebody else's
work though, you are free to upload it with just a GPLv3 licence. De728631 (talk)

"Keeping warm" is a problem for me if I need to upload photos
Whenever it's cold outside, my hands and feet get cold, then it makes it's very
hard to keep using my computer for edits on Commons. The only way I keep warm is by
drinking water at 60 degrees Celsius but It not work very well. Because in Taiwan,
cold weather would rarely get below 10 degrees Celsius. I still have more than
2,000 photos to upload but it's hard to keep uploading them day after day when it's
cold. "Keeping warm" is a problem for me if I need to upload photos.--Kai3952

Some one asserted that my actions are mostly not benefiting Wikimedia Commons and
talking in unpleasant ways to me that, "this is Commons, not Google street view",
so I decided to stop uploading photos from now on, even though I know myself how my
photos realistically useful for an educational purpose.....--Kai3952 (talk) 12:46,

There's an ad that I want to upload�
There's an ad that I want to upload, and it's just text and geometric shapes,
except for a small logo in the corner. Can I upload it if I pixelize it?

On the bottom there's this wedge thing, and on there it says "Telenor ?????
Yettel.". Telenor's old logo is there, which is still copyrighted. If I pixelize
the logo will that be OK? � Preceding unsigned comment added by QuickQuokka (talk �

@QuickQuokka: There is no need to blur anything since the Telenor logo is not

Is this ok for copyright ?
I have a small wanted ad (looking for a post) taken from the Gardeners� Chronicle,
May 31st 1913, page xv. It was published in Britain. I have no idea who counts as
the 'author' in this case, so am unsure about the before 1920-something and author
dead for more than 70 years exemption. Any suggestions ? � Preceding unsigned
comment added by Dagodfrey (talk � contribs) 03:11, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

@Dagodfrey: Does this ad contain any images or is it just plain text? If it is just
text, I would say it can be uploaded because there is no copyright since there is
no creative authorship involved. As to the author, that would certainly be the
person or company looking for the post. De728631 (talk) 15:36, 21 February 2022
(UTC)
The main text is:"Gardener (Inside, or Inside and Out); 7 years' good experience;
excellent references; age 22; Bothy preferred. - Address, A. MOORE, Ashurst,
Cowfold, near Horsham, Sussex." There are also some similar fragments of text from
parts of the surrounding ads showing. Dagodfrey (talk) 03:51, 22 February 2022
(UTC)
And there no images of anything but text. Dagodfrey (talk) 03:52, 22 February 2022

Yes, that totally ok. You can upload such a snippet using the {{PD-text}} licence.
And the author would then A. Moore. De728631 (talk) 14:18, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
