Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Bbwilliams!

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.

I obtained the photo from depositphotos.com. I added the text. I asked depositphotos.com whether I was allowed to import the resulting image into Wikimedia Commons, they replied that under the standard license this was permissable. Bbwilliams (talk) 09:38, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Then you shouldn't have written "own work" and provided the precise source and the name of the photographer. Only then we can evaluate whether it is Commons-compliant. --Túrelio (talk) 09:44, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Apologies, I shall attempt to change that misleading information. I do not use this tool often. Bbwilliams (talk) 09:57, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

I have nominated it for deletion, I cannot see how to fix the problem. However I shall try to import it again explaining the history. Bbwilliams (talk) 10:08, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Hmm, as it had been tagged as copyvio, it would be better just to change the wrong entries than trying the re-upload after it has been deleted. Just go to File:WikipediaDegrowth.png, click on the "edit" link above the description box and correct the entries, as outlined above. Thereafter, I can remove the copyvio-tag and check its copyright-status. --Túrelio (talk) 10:43, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

I have managed to get the source shown as the original source of the photo. I am still shown as the author, how do I explain that the text has been added? Bbwilliams (talk) 12:25, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Same as changing the source-entry, only now the author-entry. First should come the name of the photographer to which you might add (photo), then your username to which you might add (text). --Túrelio (talk) 15:21, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Hmm, when I went to https://depositphotos.com/de/portfolio-1229718.html?content=photo, I didn't see/find the underlying original image, even not when completely scrolling down. You need to link to the page showing (only) the image, which you used. --Túrelio (talk) 15:17, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

In between, the image has been deleted by a colleague of mine, acting on the copyvio-tag. But that is not a problem. If you provide the URL for which I asked and if the displayed license is Commons-compatible, I can easily restore the image. --Túrelio (talk) 18:28, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
