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) 10:59, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

File:Daniel Helfgot.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.

Thanks for uploading File:Total Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024 - Mazatlan Mexico - Ten Minute Time Lapse 1080p.webm. 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. |

- Thanks for flagging this. I have now added the copyright tag. Gnissah (talk) 20:21, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- This file still has issues. I really like it - the side-by-side format and the clear prominences with the crowd reaction - but there is a copyright notice in the video that is not addressed on the file page. There is also music on the video that is not in the public domain, nor is it released under a CC license. Please do something about these issues. This falls under copyright rules, which can mean speedy deletion. I want to keep this video! Dcs002 (talk) 08:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment, but the copyright status of this video file is NOT unclear. The Wikimedia Commons summary of this file clearly states "Original camera video and audio taken by the author" (e.g. own work), and the Wikimedia Commons copyright notice clearly states that the file is attributed to the author Thomas Hassing (not "Tom Hassing") and is being made available under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license.
- Because I serve on the Board of sjDANCEco I have assigned certain limited rights to them so that they can repost this video on social media, and that is reflected in the copyright notice on the title page of the video. I can assign limited rights to whomever I want, but this does not change the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license in Wikimedia Commons in any way, nor does it make the copyright status unclear on Wikimedia Commons.
- With respect to the comment that “There is also unlicensed music (complete songs) featuring prominently in the audio track of this video”, there is no offered support for this assertion. More specifically, there is no offered support that any music heard or performed live on the incidental audio of this video is subject to a valid registered copyright in the country of Mexico, where the video was created, or that any such music would be subject to a license requirement not already met by the author in the country of Mexico.
- Further, Section 148 of the Mexican Copyright Law (MCL) establishes the limitation of economic rights based upon the “three-step test” of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and later in Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights and the World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty.
- These limitations are:
- 1. Citation of texts.
- 2. Reproduction of works, photographs, and illustrations related to current events.
- 3. Reproduction of parts of a work for the purpose of scientific, literary or artistic criticism and research.
- 4. Private copies for personal use.
- 5. Reproduction of a single copy for the purpose of preservation.
- 6. Reproduction for judicial or administrative matters.
- 7. Reproduction of works visible from public spaces.
- 8. Publication of non-profit artistic and literary work for people with disabilities.
- Even if there is a valid copyright to unlicensed music heard on the audio (for which there is no support as described above), the current video depicts the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse in Mazatlan, Mexico, and therefore qualifies for one or more the infringement exemptions under Mexican Copyright Law listed above including but not limited to 2) related to current events, or 3) related to the purpose of scientific research.
- Therefore, I respectively submit that the copyright status of the current video is clear and that there are no music licensing issues under Mexican Copyright Law so this deletion request should be removed. Many thanks. Gnissah (talk) 14:54, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
