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. 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. |

File:4and20.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

- Hi, Amy.
- Unfortunately, if she has only given permission for the image to be used on Wikipedia, it can't be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, which only accepts free[1] files. You licensed it CC-BY-SA 3.0, which means that the only condition placed on its use is that the creator of the image must be credited. Licensing CC-BY-SA means that the copyright-holder agrees that image can be reused, remixed or even put in a book and sold.
- First, if she hasn't agreed to license under those terms, it shouldn't be tagged CC-BY-SA 3.0.
- Second, since you're not the copyright-holder yourself, Wikimedia Commons needs to receive formal confirmation from her that she agrees to license the image under those terms. This is done by a process called Open-source Ticket Request System or OTRS. Please follow the instructions set out at Commons:OTRS.
- For now, because the Flickr page the image appears on reads "©All Rights Reserved," use of the image here is considered a copyright violation and the image will have to be deleted.
- Once you have secured the necessary permission and followed the instructions set out at Commons:OTRS, please feel free to upload it again. Rrburke (talk) 16:06, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Critically evaluate Flickr licenses
|
File:Treysongzkodak.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. You may have preserved the information shown on Flickr correctly when transferring the image here, but the Flickr uploader is not the copyright holder of this image. Either the image was created by someone else, or it is a derivative of someone else's work. As stated in Commons:Licensing, only the copyright holder may issue a license, so the one shown on Flickr is invalid.
Always remember to critically evaluate Flickr licenses. Photostreams with professional-looking photographs, album covers, posters, and images in a wide range of styles or quality taken by many different cameras often indicate that the Flickr uploader either does not understand or does not care about copyright matters. See Commons:Questionable Flickr images for a list of known bad Flickr users.

- See also COM:QFI on www.chicagofabulousblog.com. Thats not an author nor copyright holder but someone who is collecting images on a flickr account without having the legal right to license them. --Martin H. (talk) 04:02, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

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.CategorizationBot (talk) 10:37, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Please upload the largest size
[edit]You might have noticed that I've uploaded newer versions of the pictures you've found on Flickr. Please remember to always upload the largest size possible - that gives us more flexibility in using the image across Wikipedia projects. Thanks. --Ytoyoda (talk) 14:32, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
