Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Peeeeet!

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.

Uploads from Geograph

Hello. When uploading images from Geograph, it's useful if you use the {{Geograph}} template, which adds them to Category:Images from the Geograph British Isles project and also gets the licence right. If you use the the "Wikipedia Template" at the bottom of the reuse page or geograph2commons (linked at the bottom of the reuse page), this happens automatically. I've added these to the pictures you uploaded.

Also, in-image Watermarks are unnecessary on Commons, since image pages here carry the necessary metadata, so I've substituted the versions from Geograph without watermarks.

Thank you for contributing to Commons!

Many thanks for making those corrections bjh21! I expect a lot of people would have simply quoted the manual page at me and then left me to it. You went the exra mile there.

I know how to use Geograph content properly now, and if I ever use another provider then I'll take the time to run it through the Commons help center first.

Much appreciated.

Please avoid watermarked pictures

---

The image File:Belvoir Park Hospital.jpg you uploaded contain(s) watermarks. The usage of watermarks is discouraged according to policy. If a non-watermarked version of the image is available, please upload it under the same file name. After removing the watermark, ensure that the removed information is present in the EXIF tags, the image description page, or both. Thank you for understanding.

Elisfkc (talk) 05:20, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Forgive me, I am confused. Also new. Please advise.
The image I uploaded had no watermark, and had all the metadata in place. Technically it would be a derivitive work (as permitted by the license), even though I only performed light colour correction and removed the watermark.

You re-uploaded it as the original artists work which has their watermark in place.
Is there a solution? What should I do to correct this please?


Peeeeet (talk) 06:11, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

I withdraw the question. Was answered in help center.

The solution is to upload the original artists image first, so it can be reverted to in the case of poor editing. Then replace with the modified version.
