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. 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. |

File:Canada2011pag.jpeg 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.

Just wow. You uploaded some photos that other people created to flickr. Have you take the time to read the flickr.com terms of service? Of course it is not acceptable to abuse the service flickr.com to upload stolen files there - thats not allowed there - and now forward the files to Commons based on your own hoax license that you added on flickr. Thats copyright infringement. --Martin H. (talk) 00:45, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Critically evaluate Flickr licenses
|
File:Racquetball2011pag.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. You may have preserved the information shown on Flickr correctly when transferring the image here, but the Flickr uploader is not the copyright holder of this image. Either the image was created by someone else, or it is a derivative of someone else's work. As stated in Commons:Licensing, only the copyright holder may issue a license, so the one shown on Flickr is invalid.
Always remember to critically evaluate Flickr licenses. Photostreams with professional-looking photographs, album covers, posters, and images in a wide range of styles or quality taken by many different cameras often indicate that the Flickr uploader either does not understand or does not care about copyright matters. See Commons:Questionable Flickr images for a list of known bad Flickr users.

This not only applies to files you upload yourself to your flickr in some bad attempt to trick us (COM:FLICKRW), this also applies to photographs that other people post on flickr with licenses that they can not grant because they not own any copyrights on the work. In this case: americanistadechiapas who is only reposting unfree press photos that she not created. --Martin H. (talk) 00:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Only Flickr images voluntarily tagged by their copyright holders as (CC-BY) or (CC-BY-SA) are allowed on Commons. (All Rights Reserved), (CC-ND) and (CC-NC) are not allowed on Commons.
NC/ND is unfree, its not free content, it not fulfills Commons:Project scope#Required licensing terms as well as Commons:Flickr as well as Commons:Licensing as well as foundation:Resolution:Licensing policy as well as the Definition of Free Cultural Works. That cc-by-NC-ND is unfree was told you before (although you ignored it with you upload and selected {{Cc-by-2.0}} instead of the true {{Cc-by-nc-nd-2.0}})
You have 30,000 edits in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. And you still not know what free means? Please do some reading! --Martin H. (talk) 01:21, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Mindenwwp4.jpg
[edit]This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Mindenwwp4.jpg. 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. |
