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.

Brasilian Air Force E-mail

Hi, I 've sent an email to faleconosco@fab.mil.br a few days ago, regarding Commons:Deletion requests/File:Air France Flight 447 Empennage removal.jpg, however I have not received any reply yet. You volunteered to provide an email contact in the discussion. I'm not an admin, but maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to try emailing your contact. If you 're ok with it can you send me the email address? User:Antiuser already volunteered to translate to Portuguese, so the communication might be more effective this time. Thanks!

FYI, this is the email I sent, I'll probably send the same this time:

Dear sirs, I would like to inquire about the legal rights to a photo on your site. More particularly the photo can be found here: http://www.fab.mil.br/portal/voo447/fotos.php and it is this one: http://www.fab.mil.br/portal/voo447/FOTOS/080609/foto_1.JPG According to your site: http://www.fab.mil.br/portal/capa/index.php?page=voo447 the material is copyrighted with all rights reserved (Copyright © 2008 - 2009 Portal da Força Aérea Brasileira ® 2009 República Federativa do Brasil - Todos os direitos reservados). However the same photo has also been released here: http://www.agenciabrasil.gov.br/media/imagens/2009/06/08/1155FAB001.jpg/view by Agencia Brasil, which releases all material under the Creative Commons license, a free license. Your copyright notice and the Creative Commons license notice are incompatible, which has caused a lengthy discussion in Wikimedia Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Air_France_Flight_447_Empennage_removal.jpg

Could you please be so kind as to clarify if you have released this photo to Agencia Brasil under a free license?

Best regards, <name> Volunteer contributor in the Wikimedia Commons project
