Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Idallas!

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.

How to take pictures of smartphones that you can upload here.

This image is not a copyright infringement because it doesn't show any copyright © protected software.

If you want to upload a picture 📷 of a Google wireless telephone that’s acceptable in Wikimedia Commons’ scope and compatible with its licensing you can take a photograph of one where the wireless telephone is either off or on stand-by, or you could take one where it shows Wikipedia or another freely re-usable website, but the reason the image was previously marked as a copyright violation was because you do not own the copyright to the Google software 👩‍💻 displayed on the screen so the image was deemed unacceptable. You could otherwise upload it to Wikipedia if it falls within fair use but it's better to upload an image here to Wikimedia Commons like the one on the left so Wikipedia’s in other languages may use them too.
