Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, ItsPugle!

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:Target Logo.svg

File:Target Logo.svg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

File:Hcf health logo.png

Hi, the HCF Health logo that you tagged as "no permission" had been properly licensed as {{PD-textlogo}} at the moment of being uploaded. If you think that this image is above the TOO, you can nominate it for deletion. But using the "subst:npd" template in cases like this, is wrong. Fma12 (talk) 09:04, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

@Fma12: Hey there. Sorry about using the wrong logo, but the logo is more than purely text. COM:CB suggests that {{PD-textlogo}} is only for use on media that is solely text and simple shapes (like a box). The heart illustration next to the wording "HCF" is likely beyond the definition of "simple shapes" that the aforementioned classification provides, and as such, means {{PD-textlogo}} is not appropriate. Secondly, per COM:COPY, only material that is freely in the public domain in both the United States AND the country of origin (Australia in this case). As you alluded to, which then poses the question of why you would willingly upload non-free content when you know it is protected in its origin country, the Australian threshold of originality is basically non-existent. That is to say that there has never been an identified legal case where the court has upheld the threshold of originality, and basic geometric designs such as the Aboriginal Australian flag (three horizontal rectangles) have been deemed as copyright protected and non-free media. Consequentially, COM:EVID also provides that the uploader (you, in this instance) must provide reasonable evidence that a given content item is available in the public domain and fair use - similarly, you have failed to provide the original source, as the source you have provided is a derivative work (reproduction from the primary owner, which is HCF). I am going to retag the image for deletion per copyright legislation, but I would expect that an experienced editor like yourself would not knowingly upload non-free content to Commons against policy and international copyright law.
