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).

Categorization
[edit]When uploading files, please only use the most specific categories. For example, files in Category:Visalia, California should not be in the broader categories of Category:Tulare County, California or Category:California.
Additionally, please be careful what license you select:
- {{PD-old-70-expired}} should only be used where the file was both published before 1926 - not merely taken before 1926 - and where the author is known to have died before 1951. It should not be used for files with unknown authorship.
- {{PD-US-expired}} can be used for works that were published in the US before 1926, but the author is unknown, such as File:The San Francisco Examiner Thu Jun 15 1893.jpg.
- {{PD-old-assumed}} can used used for works that were created more than 120 years ago, but that do not have known publication information, such as File:MollyByrdEvans1893(34yearsold).jpg.
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions about categories or licensing! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 16:45, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Warning
[edit]Despite being warned, you have continued to upload files with incorrect licenses and improper categorization. This is not acceptable behavior, especially because Commons takes copyright violations very seriously. If you continue to upload files without proper licenses and categorization, I will block you from uploading. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:08, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
- Please do not block me from uploading, I am still somewhat new to wikipedia but I know these pictures (Chris Evans Visalia Home and Chris Evans Redwood Ranch) are public domain and can prove it. It has been found in several different books that are more than 70 years old. I will try uploading the same photos with the proper source. The Kasota picture from 2002 was an accident and I will make sure to follow the guidelines in the future. I understand Commons takes copyright very seriously and I have no intention on violating that. Thank you for your help.Jamievontersch (talk) 03:12, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- If there are any other issues with images that I have uploaded please let me know, I am not trying to get blocked from uploading. Thank you. Jamievontersch (talk) 03:12, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- If you are going to upload images with claims that they are in the public domain, you need to be very familiar with the actual requirements of the public domain licenses you are using. The 70-year rule is after the death of the author, not after publication, and is only applicable when the author's identity and death date (or year) are known. Commons:Hirtle chart has a detailed guide to what PD licenses are applicable in what scenario. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:51, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- Ok I will be sure to be careful of this from now on, thank you. Can I also make a request if possible? I accidentally posted onto an article I wanted to add onto. I undid the revision but I wanted to delete the revision history if possible and noticed that it was only possible for administrators to do this. The article is Chris Evans (outlaw) and the revisions were from October 25. Hoping this can be done. Thank you. Jamievontersch (talk) 03:06, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- I assume you mean this revision? That's on the English Wikipedia (enwiki), not on Commons; I'm only an administrator on Commons and don't have any advanced permissions on enwiki. Looking at the revision deletion criteria, it's unlikely that there's a need to delete the revision - it doesn't seem to contain any copyrighted text or harmful material.
