Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Fossiladder13!

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.

"Own work" files

Hi Fossiladder13. You appear to have recently upoaded several photos of fossils to Commons as your "own work". While there's nothing wrong with this, in principle, please take a close look at COM:Own work, COM:COWN and COM:NETCOPYVIO just to make sure you understand what "own work" means when it comes to Commons. Many people just mistakenly assume that scanning or downloading a file and then uploading it to Commons somehow makes it their "own work" regardless of whether it actually is a work created by someone else. Most of the files you've uploaded as "own work" appear to be scans of photos and not photos upoladed with their original COM:EXIF data. Once again, while this is OK in priniciple, it makes it much harder to verify the en:provenance of a photo and whether the uploader is actually the copyright holder. The more information you can provide about a file's provenance in its file description or summary, the less likely the file is going to be tagged for review or even possibly deletion because of a questionable claim of "own work". -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:01, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:10852-cretaceous-period-bird-had-hyper-elongated-tongue.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). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:10852-cretaceous-period-bird-had-hyper-elongated-tongue.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

File copyright status

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. While everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the project, one or more of your file uploads had missing or false information regarding its source and copyright status. Please note that Wikimedia Commons takes copyright rules and infringement very seriously. Files may only be uploaded and included if their copyright status meets the conditions stated in our licensing policy, and if their provenance is clearly documented. Files that fail to meet those conditions may be deleted, and users who fail to meet them may be blocked. Please follow our first steps, if you haven't already. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the Village Pump copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. ----Animalparty (talk) 00:46, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:A tooth belonging to Dracopristis hoffmanourm.webp

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:A tooth belonging to Dracopristis hoffmanourm.webp. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Hi Fossiladder13. Non-derivative (ND) aren't acceptable for Commons as explained here; so, this file will eventually end up being deleted if you're unable to get its copyright holder to release the file to a license accepted by Commons as explained here and here. If you do nothing, the file will eventually end up deleted in about seven days. Even if the file ends up deleted, you can always request that it be refunded by asking for help here if you're able eventually to sort out its licensing issues with the copyright holder. If you have no intention of trying to contact the copyright holder, you might want to consider requesting that the file be speedily deleted per speedy deletion criterion G7 instead to speed things up a bit. Please note that it was a bot which tagged the file for speedy deletion per speedy deletion criterion F5 because the bot was unable to detect a copyright license for the file. I was able to see the license statement you added, but, once again, it's not a valid license for Commons per speedy deletion criterion F4. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
