User talk:Rukeli
Приветствую! Надеюсь, вы говорите по-русски. Как дела с импортом карты Грузии? Я смотрю на странице Georgia JumpStart Import прогресса в последние пару недель нет. --TarzanASG 08:16, 31 March 2011 (BST)
Unfortunately I only speak Russian through Google Translate! I think most of Georgia has been imported so far, or will soon be finished. A lot of people have helped to import it region by region. --Rukeli
=)) I will wait finish of import of Adjara and Tbilisi and than I post third (this is two previous) news about your work. --TarzanASG 10:40, 11 April 2011 (BST)
Hello again! What about progress in import of map? I look forward to finish of uploading. --TarzanASG 01:38, 14 May 2011 (BST)
As do I! I think Adjara is the only region remaining, and I'm told that it's about 40% done right now. User Andro is working on it. --Rukeli
And again hello! What status of work in Adjara? --TarzanASG 01:08, 1 August 2011 (BST)
Finished! --Rukeli
Excellent! Please update Georgia JumpStart Import. And what about Tbilisi? You will import data of Tbilisi (such parts in which JumpStart data is better, than OSM) or importing is already fully finished? Can you officially talk about finish? Can I write news about finish of importing all data in OSM? --TarzanASG 17:43, 3 September 2011 (BST)
We decided not to import the Tbilisi data because 1) OSM is mostly better, 2) its a monstrous task, ans 3) we don't want to interrupt all the great community effort thats going into Tbilisi. Feel free to write news about the import being complete. I want to thank everyone who helped in the import, especially nikusha, Andro, gguj, Glebius, and Davidgogishvili. And of course a big thanks to JumpStart International for making this all possible. We're excited to finally see all of Georgia on the map, the best and possibly only good digital maps of Georgia available on the web. We look forward to seeing more and more community effort to see the maps improve, and we're glad everyone can now access the maps through OSM as well as at mapspot.ge. --Rukeli 23:47, 7 September 2011 (GMT)
Congratulations! Oh, and can you to add in all your (JumpStart) web pages clearly information about license of JumpStart data? I want explicit text "Map data by JumpStart is available under CC-BY-SA 2.0 and ODbL 1.0". --TarzanASG 10:59, 8 September 2011 (BST)
Missing file information
Hello! And thanks for your upload - but some extra info is necessary.
Sorry for bothering you about this, but it is important to know source of the uploaded files.
Are you the author of image File:Georgia-Districts.jpg ?
Or is it copied from some other place (which one?)?
Please, add this info to the file page - something like "I took this photo" or "downloaded from -website link-" or "I took this screeshot of program XYZ" or "this is map generated from OpenStreetMap data and SRTM data" or "map generated from OSM data and only OSM data".
Doing this would be already very useful.
Licensing - photos
In case that you are the author of the image: Would you agree to open licensing of this image, allowing its use by anyone (similarly to your OSM edits)?
In case where it is a photo you (except relatively rare cases) author can make it available under a specific free license.
Would you be OK with CC0 (it allows use without attribution or any other requirement)?
Or do you prefer to require attribution and some other things using CC-BY-SA-4.0?
If you are the author: Please add {{CC0-self}} to the file page to publish the image under CC0 license.
You can also use {{CC-BY-SA-4.0-self}} to publish under CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.
Once you add missing data - please remove {{Unknown|subcategory=uploader notified March 2022}} from the file page.
Licensing - other images
If it is not a photo situation gets a bit more complicated.
See Drafts/Media file license chart that may help.
note: if you took screenshot of program made by someone else, screenshot of OSM editor with aerial imagery: then licensing of that elements also matter and you are not a sole author.
note: If you downloaded image made by someone else then you are NOT the author.
Note that in cases where photo is a screenshot of some software interface: usually it is needed to handle also copyright of software itself.
Note that in cases where aerial imagery is present: also licensing of an aerial imagery matter.
Help
Feel free to ask for help if you need it - you can do it for example by asking on Talk:Wiki: new topic.
Please ask there if you are not sure what is the proper next step. Especially when you are uploading files that are not your own work or are derivative work (screenshots, composition of images, using aerial imagery etc).
If you are interested in wider discussion about handling licencing at OSM Wiki, see this thread.
(sorry if I missed something that already states license and source: I am looking through over 20 000 files and fixing obvious cases on my own, in other I ask people who upladed files, but it is possible that I missed something - in such case also please answer)

Attribution
Hello! And sorry for bothering you, but description of file you uploaded need to be improved.
You have uploaded file which is licensed as requiring attribution. But right now attribution is not specified properly.
Please, ask for help if something is confusing or unclear in this message.
Please, fix that problem with this uploads - note that images with unclear licensing situation may be deleted.
Attribution may be missing completely or just be specified in nonstandard way, in either case it needs to be improved. Note that using CC-BY files without specifying attribution is a copyright violation, which is often unethical and unwanted. So clearly specifying required attribution is needed if license which makes attribution mandatory was used.
If it is applying to your own work which not based on work by others - then you can select own user name or some other preferred attribution or even change license to for example {{CC0-self}}
For your own work: ensure that it is clearly stated at file page that you created image/took the photo/etc
For works by others - please ensure that there is link to the original source which confirms license and that you used proper attribution, or that source is clearly stated in some other way.
Especially for old OSM-baded maps, made from data before license change on 12 September 2012 you should use "map data © OpenStreetMap contributors" as at least part of attribution
For old OSM Carto maps, which predate license change on 12 September 2012 you can use a special template {{OSM Carto screenshot||old_license}}
Note: Maybe the current license on this file is wrong and a different one should be used! Wiki:Media file license chart may be helpful. If unsure, ask on Talk:Wiki
