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. |

Deleted content
[edit]
- use in any work, regardless of content
- creation of derivative works
- commercial use
- free distribution
See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.
Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.And also:

- Please research on the architectural histories of public buildings of the Philippines. The country does not provide Freedom of Panorama allowing commercial licensing and wholesale distributions of images of copyrighted buildings and monuments even without permissions from architects and/or sculptors. Pending the introduction of FoP here, kindly only import pre-1972 buildings of the Philippines, not post-1972 ones; for the progress update, see meta:Pilipinas Panorama Community/Freedom of Panorama/Progress. The English Wikipedia (enwiki) only follows U.S. copyright law, and does not need to follow the restrictive Philippine copyright law, so images that violate architects' copyrights courtesy of the Philippine law can be freely hosted locally on enwiki, as the U.S. copyright law provides Freedom of Panorama for architectural works.

- Hi @JWilz12345: this file is not my work. I understand that by including it in the infobox of Lanao del Norte it violates FoP, so would it be ok to transfer this to English Wikipedia? J.avanzado (talk) 14:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- @J.avanzado my inputs/responses:
- FoP violation is not by including the image in the infobox, but rather by not conforming to the FoP policy of Commons, which is primarily based on the law of a work's physical country of location or the country where the work is most associated with (in this case, the Philippines).
- Since file history shows you imported it from enwiki, you should instead request for undeletion of the original (local) copy at w:en:WP:Requests for undeletion, instead of transferring this copy to enwiki. The deleted local image is perpetually existing in the servers of Wikipedia, so that it can be restored or undeleted if the Commons copy is under deletion request.
- Just some added info: Deleted images, both in enwiki and in Commons, are technically existing in Wikimedia servers; they are just "hidden" from non-admin users like us. Commons images of copyrighted Philippine public art and architecture can be undeleted if R.A. 8293 is reformed to include FoP provision.
