Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Semidemiquaver!

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:Jayasuriya acknow.jpg

---

A file that you uploaded to Wikimedia Commons from Flickr, File:Jayasuriya acknow.jpg, was found available on Flickr by an administrator or reviewer under the license Noncommercial (), No derivative works (), or All Rights Reserved (), which isn't compatible with Wikimedia Commons, per the licensing policy. The file has been deleted. Commons:Flickr files/Appeal for license change has information about sending the Flickr user an appeal asking for the license to be changed. Only Flickr images tagged as (CC BY), (CC BY-SA), (CC0) and (PDM) are allowed on Wikimedia Commons. If the Flickr user has changed the license of the Flickr image, feel free to ask an administrator to restore the file, or start an undeletion request.

I have found Flickr images with similar license in commons. For an example this file has the same license. Semidemiquaver (talk) 08:52, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

It only seems to be. The problem with Flickr is, that users can change the license of their uploads at any time. This is typical Flickr-nonsense, as you cannot revoke a CC-license. Therefore we require all Flickr-sourced uploads to Commons to be checked by our FlickrReview-bot. If the image is under a Commons-compatible license on Flickr at the time of upload to Commons, this license is recorded by the bot. If the Flickr-user thereafter changes the license, we ignore that, as a legitimate CC-license cannot be revoked. This is obviously the case with the image linked by you. However, at upload to Commons, it was under a compatible license. --Túrelio (talk) 09:01, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

O.K, my mistake. I thought that (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0) license is also compatible with commons, because of those images with similar license. Semidemiquaver (talk) 09:23, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Neither NC nor ND is allowed on Commons, if it's the only license; it's o.k. if there is an additional unrestricted license. --Túrelio (talk) 09:31, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Similar problems as above with, File:Jayasuriya bowling.jpg and File:Sanath squarecut.jpg.--KTo288 (talk) 20:53, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
