Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Mary Alice Mo!

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:Rebecca Renner.jpg

File:Rebecca Renner.jpg is considered to fulfill the criteria for speedy deletion and has been marked on its page. The following reason has been specified: Commons can't really keep this file because its license is too restrictive per COM:L and is not cc-by-sa-2.0 as claimed by the uploader. Commons doesn't accept non-commercial Creative Commons licenses per COM:CC. If you believe the content does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, you may replace the speedy deletion tag with a regular deletion request (if the content has not been deleted) or request undeletion (if the content has already been deleted).

Hi Mary Alice MO. Commons cannot accept this file because its license (see here) doesn't allow commercial re-use. Commons doesn't "non-commercial" licenses as explained in COM:CC and COM:L. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:49, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Marchjuly, I tweeted at the author and she changed the rights to the image on her website: "All images on this page are free to use in the public domain, released by Rebecca Renner as of December 15th, 2018." --Mary Alice Mo (talk) 03:04, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

I've asked an OTRS volunteer to look at this. If the license is now OK, he will remove the template and update the file accordingly. However, if that happens, the license will become non-revocable. She will still hold the copyright on it if she actually took the photo (typically its the photographer takes a photo who holds the copyright on it, not the subject of the photo), but she won't be able to stop anyone from downloading it from Commons and using it for any purpose. So, hopefully she is quite sure that this what she wants to do. -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:33, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
