Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Howto!

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.

Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, Howto!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

File tagging File:2013 80 let sboru 4.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:2013 80 let sboru 4.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:2013 80 let sboru 4.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Please give images good descriptions

---

I noticed you've uploaded File:2003 oslavy sboru 5.jpg and I thought I should draw your attention to a common error.
Please give some thought to writing a good description of uploaded images. This ensures that they can be used. It also helps those that review and improve categories do a better job, which also ensures that images will get used in novel and interesting ways. Thanks, and happy editing!

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Affected:

• File:Židovský dům Boskovice.jpg

Například Židovský hřbitov u Hřivčic má na Commons vlastní kategorii Category:Jewish cemetery in Hřivčice. Pokud obrázky nahrajete do naprosto všeobecné kategorie "History", nikdo je nenajde. Děkuji za pochopení. --Gampe (talk) 05:59, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Reportáže televize OKplus

Dobrý večer. Je někde uvedeno, že jsou Vámi nahrané reportáže žatecké televize uvolněny pod licencí Creative Commons 4.0 a jsou tedy volně šiřitelné? Našel jsem je na YouTube ale tam o tom nic není. Pokud ne tak se budou muset smazat a v článku pouze uvést v externích odkazech.--TFerenczy (talk) 20:53, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Ta reportáž není autorským dílem podle zákona, protože jde o zprávu šířenou veřejným sdělovacím prostředkem o veřejné akci a navíc domluvenou požádajícím spolkem o akci, kterou veřejně pořádal. Souhlas mám ale jenom ústní, navíc pochybuji, že regionální TV ze Žatci ví, co je to licence Creative Commons. Klidně to smažte, ale přijde mi líto, že se takto zbytečně wikipedie ochuzuje o zajímavý obsah. --wikipedistaːhowto — Preceding unsigned comment added by Howto (talk • contribs) 12:28, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
