Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Gregorybarry!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

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. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

File tagging File:ACI LinkLogo120px.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:ACI LinkLogo120px.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:ACI LinkLogo120px.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Getting permission to use images

Hi Gregorybarry
It would be great if you can get the copyright holder to send in a OTRS for Dr Niparko. Detailed instruction are here Commons:OTRS. There is currently a very long back log of OTRS emails to review. Therefore, once (after - not before) the OTRS is sent, you can add Template:OTRS pending to the image to alert other editors that permission has been sent in and is under review. Don't fret if the image does get deleted, as it can always be reinstated by an Admin. Don't worry about 'Continuum of Care' image. You're a newbie to Wikimedia Commons and once you learn the ropes you will be able to avoid these issues arising in future. We have these rules to stop things descending into chaos. Also, you appear to have some understanding of otology. This advice is not necessary for you to follow, yet if you can add a brief biography about yourself and interests to User:Gregorybarry. Then, other editors can ask for your advice about the correct place to add images to Category:Otology. All the best.--P.g.champion (talk) 00:43, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. I will be more careful about things in my Sandbox. I was working on the article and just wanted to see what the image would look like. I appreciate your advice. Again, thank you. I am retired and have some time on my hands (less than you might think).

Gregorybarry (talk) 02:04, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Oh, you don't have to explain about free time. There was I, expecting to see out my twilight years in relive peace and quite. Just mowing the lawn from time to time and sitting on my porch watching the World go by. But the moment I retired, the phone rang non stop: Grandpa, my computer needs fixing, Grandpa we are going on vacation and you're going to have to look after our dog, Grandpa... etc. Now, I have barely a minute to call my own any more. My advice is to rip out the phone and hang a sign on front door saying Closed for Business – Gone fishing !. --P.g.champion (talk) 14:21, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
