- Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
- State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
- If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
- Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
- Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.
If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.
It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.
You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.
Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Tip: Categorizing images[edit]
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 06:18, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

TUSC token bf11b73a098aa6a34ead2bec591c65c5[edit]
I am now proud owner of a TUSC account!
The file was not deleted due to a lack of email, rather it was deleted because no sufficient release was received. This file was uploaded August 8 and you directed OTRS to the copyright holder, SiddySounds.com, which was contacted for a particular license that would apply. The stock form was sent back but no license was filled in. A response was sent to them asking for clarification as to which license would apply and none has been provided by the copyright holder. With no license, the image is not eligible for hosting on this site because that leaves the issue of commercial use, derivatives, and terms of reuse undefined. – Adrignola talk 15:44, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Do you have source information for the image File:Lenin-Trotsky 1920-05-20 Sverdlov Square (original).jpg that you uploaded? It would be very helpful if you could add it to the file's description page. Curly Turkey (talk) 02:01, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
