Please link pages!

Hello Stevevance,

Thanks a lot for contributing to the OSM-Wiki! Here's a tip to make your contributions more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how: You can pick the page from your list of contributions, edit the page description, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are edit the page "Christmas Party 2012", you add the following code:

[[Category:Events]]

This will make the Page show up in the categories "Events".

Thanks again for your contributions! More information about categorization can be found in Category:Categories.

Bike parking - wave

Hi Steve, please clarify! :-) --Aseerel4c26 (talk) 01:04, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Clarified! --Stevevance (talk) 01:14, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! The wave is also always perpendicular to the bike's frame, right? And therefore locking frame and both wheels is not possible (with a common short lock), right too? --Aseerel4c26 (talk) 15:09, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Almost always perpendicular. Some people lock parallel and it blocks other slots. Locking both wheels to a frame is only possible when you remove one of the wheels. It's possible to lock the frame and one wheel to the wave rack. They're very common in the United States.

Fully clear now ;-) Please see my addition, good? In the linked photo the wave-y shape is more visible - first I did not see the metal on the bottom on your photo. --Aseerel4c26 (talk) 16:12, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

That's a good addition.

Hi again Steve, I have reverted the addition for now after seeing that this was discussed before (and listed in the description of "stands" as w-shaped). Please see and comment here: Talk:Key:bicycle_parking#W_rack_.2F_wave_.2F_ribbon_.2F_wave_.2F_serpentine_as_own_value.3F. --Aseerel4c26 (talk) 18:59, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

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:Bike rack wave.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".

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)?

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.

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.

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.

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).

Once you add missing data - please remove {{Unknown|subcategory=uploader notified January 2022}} from the file page.

If you are interested in wider discussion about handling licencing at OSM Wiki, see this thread.
