Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:
  • Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
  • State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
  • If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
  • Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
  • Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Thank you.

Hi GNUtoo,
do you know who is the sculptor that made the statue in your image File:Statueta cavallo 003.jpeg? If he is not dead since >70 years, the statue is still copyrighted as there is no freedom of panorama in Italy. --Túrelio (talk) 18:10, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, GNUtoo. I note you uploaded File:Replicant 4.0 on NexusS.jpeg, which contains some third-party artwork, but you misleadingly tagged it as your own work. You should know that when you use someone else's copyrighted work in a photograph, and that work is the focus or major part of the photograph, this constitutes a derivative work, and you cannot claim sole authorship or license the photo as you see fit. Rather, you must abide by the original artist's copyright licence, which may require you to provide credit and apply the same licence to your own version, or may restrict you from publishing derivative works altogether.

Fortunately, in this case the artwork you used was freely licensed, so all that was required was to provide the proper credit. I've done this. In the future, however, please keep this in mind, and please also check any of your past uploads to ensure that they don't also infringe on anyone's copyright. —Psychonaut (talk) 10:10, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for fixing it, I probably didn't have that in mind when I uploaded the picture. I of course didn't want to imply that I made the background image, only that I took the picture.
