Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikimedia Commons. Thank you for your contributions. However, it has come to my attention that you (or y'all) are editing from an account with a name that suggests that it might belong to a for-profit conmercial entity.

While Wikimedia Commons isn't Wikipedia and organisational accounts are permitted, these do have to be confirmed to be legitimate. This is done to prevent fraudulent impersonations of organisations. You can confirm the legitimacy of this account through the OTRS by sending an e-mail to "permissions-commonswikimedia.org". Editing without doing so may result in a precautionary cessation of editing privileges and the deletion of uploaded works as we cannot be sure if this account truly represents Welcomecompany and these measures are done to protect Welcomecompany from possible imposters.

As you may be eager to "donate your works to Wikipedia" you must be able to confirm that you have the valid permissions and that your organisation possesses the copyright to the works you wish to upload to Wikimedia Commons.

• If the works you are donating are in the public domain then you must provide a source and valid licence to prove it. (Further reading: Commons:Copyright tags#General public domain.)

• Commissioned works may not automatically be copyrighted by your organisation if they were made by an independent contractor and the copyright terms haven't been discussed, but these rules differ per country and territory.

• Please do not upload material that promotes goods and/or services without any intrinsic educational value as these will be deleted and doing so repeatedly will lead to your editing privileges being revoked.

Notice: Works uploaded to Wikimedia Commons may be used by anyone for any reason however they want (subject to certain restrictions). So if you have any commercial interests in your works be aware that once uploaded to this website you irrevocably allow anyone else to use your copyrighted works for-profit. You can set up your own terms for re-users, for example they must link to your website, your webshop, name your organisation, Etc. but re-users can do whatever they want with these works as long as they follow these licensing terms.

Also feel free to ask a question on my Talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! You are also free to ask a question at the help desk or village pump, you could otherwise add {{Helpme}} on your talk page to ask for help here, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).
