Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Elliotnadeau!

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:Craig thomas 2022.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 may soon be deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please replace the copyvio tag with {{subst:OP}} and have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you disagree that the file is a copyright violation for any other reason, please replace the copyvio tag with a regular deletion request.

File tagging File:Craig thomas 2022.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Craig thomas 2022.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you.

Let's get the verification process started. Can you please provide a link to the Facebook page where it has previously appeared? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:16, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks so much! My Facebook is set to private, but it also appears on Thomas's personal Facebook, which is not private: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=4903990733035094&set=a.167710949996453

Hmm. The most common way to confirm permissions for an image previously posted to social media by the copyright holder is to publicly indicate the CC license on the FB post. (It wouldn't help to have Craig Thomas indicate the license, since he is not the copyright holder.) Alternatively, a way to prove your authorship is to provide a version of the file which is not available on the Internet, such as the original-resolution photo from your camera with the EXIF metadata intact. Do you have that available? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:06, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay! Yes I have the original resolution photo with EXIF metadata intact - should I upload that instead 2603:7000:8100:322E:873:51F3:947D:EDF0 18:27, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I accidentally responded without being logged in - Yes I have the original resolution photo with EXIF metadata intact - should I upload that instead Elliotnadeau (talk) 18:28, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Yes, please use this link to upload a new version of the image: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Craig_thomas_2022.jpg&wpForReUpload=1. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:57, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! I uploaded the original version of the image with EXIF data intact - is there anything else I need to do? Thanks again for your help!
