Dear Liftarn,

if You transfer pictures to the commons, please

• link the original author (which You did not do with http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:MAN-Büssing.jpg, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Büssing_BS16_Pritschenwagen.jpg and http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:MAN_Pausbacke.jpg (of which I am the one, who loaded them up to wikipedia)),
• transfer all old versions of the picture (which You did not do with http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:MAN_Pausbacke.jpg) and
• spell the categorys, You put the pictures in, correctly (which You did not do with http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:MAN-Büssing.jpg - the right category ist "MAN vehicles" and not "MAn vehicles").

Thank You very much,

1. I use cut and paste, so if it don't say who the author is or if the author isn't linked it will not be there. I have fixed it on the files you listed.
2. Transfer all old versions?
3. Spelling fixed.

What can I say. I'm a bit annoying... // Liftarn

Just look up the rules for transfering pictures into the commons (You can find it here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikimedia_Commons#Umzug_von_Bildern_auf_die_Commons - You may ask somebody to translate this into English).

The main message is:

1) The user, who loaded a picture up into Wikipedia, has to be linked in the commons in every case a picture is transfered (And You still did not do this with http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Büssing_BS16_Pritschenwagen.jpg). Otherwise this information gets lost, when the old copy of the picture in Wikipedia is deleted.

2) To fullfill the rules of the GNU-FDL it's necessary to transfer the whole file history containing all old versions of a picture. That's the rule :-) --C-C-Baxter 20:35, 1. Mär 2006 (CET)

There is some advice (not rules) at en:Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons. I understand much of the German text without ttranslation. But OK, I'll stop transfering pictures to Commons. // Liftarn

Duroplast

Is it correct, that the english language distinguishes between en:Thermosetting plastic and en:Duroplast. We use the german word "Duroplast" for all thermosetting plastics, that's why the interwiki link goes there. A second one would not work anyway. Hence, I reverted your edit. Agreed? --Schwalbe ^Disku 12:07, 10. Mär 2006 (CET)

Well, sometimes interwiki just don't work. // Liftarn

Bild:91125Jahre.jpg

Hi Liftarn! Just saw that you moved this image to Commons. Unfortunately you didn't mark the image as as PD at Commons. The template {{Bild-PD-nur PD}} was used here in de, which you didn't add at Commons. Please correct that, thanks! --Lychee 17:23, 9. Mai 2007 (CEST)

Done. // Liftarn
