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.

On original creators and copyrights

Hello. Regarding your recent uploads like File:Yinotherians.jpg and File:Ameridelphia.jpg that are modifications of existing works, please note that collages and composite images must respect the underlying licenses and attributions of the original creators' works. For instance, you can't combine File:Opossum 2.jpg (CC-BY-SA 2.5), and File:Caenolestes sangay. Foto Jorge Brito.jpg (CC-BY-SA 4.0), each of which has licenses requiring attribution, into the composite image File:Ameridelphia.jpg and give it a new CC-zero license (which implies that people are free to reuse without attribution or restrictions whatsoever), nor is it appropriate to crop File:Prototheria collage.png in half to create File:Yinotherians.jpg and give it a new, less restrictive license. Note that Share Alike (SA) licenses explicitly state: "If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same or compatible license as the original." In a nutshell, please credit original creators in the description fields, and respect their licenses. See Commons:Derivative works#Derivatives of Free works and Commons:Collages for more info. There are useful templates such as {{Derived from}}, {{Own based}}, and {{Attrib}}, Cheers, --Animalparty (talk) 00:23, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
