What is Wikimedia Commons[edit]
Wikimedia Commons is a repository which hosts public domain and freely-licensed educational media content (images, sound and video clips). Wikimedia Commons acts as a common repository for the various projects of the Wikimedia Foundation, but you do not need to belong to one of those projects to use media hosted here. The repository is created and maintained not by paid archivists, but by volunteers. The scope of Commons is set out on the project scope pages.
Why Wikimedia Commons?[edit]

You produce media, be it photographs or videos, to market your organisation and your products or service to the wider public. Your organisation is likely already present on social media platforms, such as Facebook or Twitter, but lacks a presence on the 6th most visited website in the world—the website which people turn to in order to find information relating to your organisation, which isn't your own—Wikipedia.[1]
By making your media available under a Creative Commons licence which is accepted on Wikimedia Commons you empower the volunteer editors who edit the more than 280 language editions of Wikipedia, and a variety of other Wikimedia projects,[2] to use the best available imagery and media, not only on articles relating to your organisation, but articles on the aviation industry in general.
How to contribute to Wikimedia Commons[edit]
Flickr[edit]
If your organisation maintains a Flickr account, making your organisation's imagery available under a Wikimedia Commons compatible Creative Commons licence is an easy two-step process.
First step: Whilst logged into your account go to https://www.flickr.com/account/prefs/license/batch. Choose Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons and then Save license (refer to screenshot immediately below). This will change the licencing of all current imagery in your Flickr stream, making imagery suitable for uploading to Wikimedia Commons. Depending on the size of your Flickr stream, you may need to let your browser sit for up to 60 seconds to ensure the process is run on all imagery in your Flickr stream.

Second step: After completing the first step, and whilst logged into your account go to https://www.flickr.com/account/prefs/license. Choose Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons and then Set default license (refer to screenshot immediately below). This will change the default licencing of future content uploaded to your organisations Flick stream and enable their upload to Wikimedia Commons.
