Goodies, tips, and tricks
  • Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities.
  • You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads.
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~.
  • To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg.
  • You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account.
  • There are several tools to upload files.
  • Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful.
Made a mistake?
  • Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it.

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.
Thanks for uploading File:DavidArata.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

  • This file was uploaded by the photographer himself. I sent him an email explaining how to do it. Not sure how to prove it better than having the copyright holder manually submit the photo themselves.

Copyright status: File:Ryan Serhant 2018 Cropped.jpg[edit]

Pay attention to copyright
File:Ryan Serhant 2018 Cropped.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.

The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

  • I have spoken to the photographer about this directly. I will have him send in permissions releasing copyright.

Drsammyjohnson (talk) 19:32, 20 June 2019 (UTC)DrSammyJohnson[reply]

  • I reached out to the photographer and was told this is in fact a violation of his copyright. Thank you for identifying it. I thought I had the bases covered.

Critically evaluate Flickr licenses
File:Ryan Serhant 2018 Cropped.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. You may have preserved the information shown on Flickr correctly when transferring the image here, but the Flickr uploader is not the copyright holder of this image. Either the image was created by someone else, or it is a derivative of someone else's work. As stated in Commons:Licensing, only the copyright holder may issue a license, so the one shown on Flickr is invalid. Always remember to critically evaluate Flickr licenses. Photostreams with professional-looking photographs, album covers, posters, and images in a wide range of styles or quality taken by many different cameras often indicate that the Flickr uploader either does not understand or does not care about copyright matters. See Commons:Questionable Flickr images for a list of known bad Flickr users.

  • Hi Patrick, I spent some time digging into this and actually ended up locating and contacting the photographer directly. You are correc, this is a copyright violation. At first the photographer said it was fine and then when he understood that it required a creative commons license he denied turning that over. I will be more careful with Flickr in the future and have flagged that photo as a copyright violation on that platform. Thank you for your help with this.

Gbawden (talk) 10:17, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gbawden This photo does have a copyright release - I have a signature from the photographer. I can't see the history of this file because I believe it was ALREADY deleted without any discussion or warning. The file was approved by OTRS for upload a year ago. I am requesting undeletion of this file. Happy to provide the documentation AGAIN but I need to see the original file history which is now not accessible since it was deleted too quickly.

Drsammyjohnson (talk) 15:24, 7 November 2019 (UTC)drsammyjohnson[reply]

Hi @Drsammyjohnson: . Fair enough. I have undeleted it but the license tag must stay. The flickr license doesn't allow commercial use so its not suitable for Commons. Please can you send the permission via COM:OTRS. Thanks Gbawden (talk) 06:03, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

JuTa 03:16, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi@JuTa: Permissions were sent in to OTRS Friday via email. Please double check. Drsammyjohnson (talk) 20:14, 10 November 2019 (UTC)DrSammyJohnson[reply]
