Do not remove copyvio nominations. This may be considered vandalism. If you disagree you can covert them to DRs to explain the copyright status. Ankry (talk) 17:49, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Dear Crossswords,

I would like to recreate this map as SVG. May you be so kind to send me (or publish) the Федеральный центр СПИД data as CSV?

Thank you very much.--NASG (talk) 13:33, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

I noticed that you uploaded a file using the name File:Russian Federation (orthographic projection) - Crimea disputed.svg. A file by this name already existed on Commons. Overwriting an existing file should not be done except when making minor, uncontroversial corrections, so the file has been restored to its previous version. If the file that you attempted to upload is within our project scope and is in the public domain or published under a free license, please upload it again under a different name. Thank you. For more information, please see Commons:Overwriting files.

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry.

If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
