Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Anna N Chapman!

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.

Previously published photos

Hello Anna N Chapman, thanks for your recent contribution to Commons of some very nice photos of insects! I noticed that several of your recently uploaded photos have EXIF information that indicates they were previously published as Getty Images / iStockphoto rights-controlled photos by AnnaNicola:

• File:1Honey-Bee-Crown-Daisy.jpg,
• File:2Honey-Bee-Salt-Cedar.jpg,
• File:3 Carpocoris mediterraneus.jpg,
• File:4Honey-Bee.jpg.

As works previously published elsewhere with a non-free license, Commons asks that permission be sent to the Volunteer Response Team. Given the similarity between your user name and the photographer's name, you might reasonably be thinking "But it's my own work!" It is unfortunately very common for users to upload other people's photographs that they downloaded from the internet with a claim that they are the original photographer, so in these circumstances we ask uploaders email a license release to the Commons volunteers at COM:VRT to confirm the new free licenses on Commons. Please let me know if you have any questions. —RP88 (talk) 02:14, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
