Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, LastestAttempt!

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.

Edit warring

Please do not engage in edit warring like you did at File:Vaunthompsonia cristata.jpg. If this continues, I will request a block for you. --VKras (talk) 17:39, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello LastestAttempt, the following content you uploaded violates one or more of our policies and therefore has been or will soon be deleted:

The Wikimedia Commons (this website) only hosts media files with a realistic educational purpose and that can be used for any purpose, including:

• 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.

You might then want to have a look at these: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bathyporeia/albums/72157634083834066 and compare them to the Commons' versions!. I thought I could upload lower resolution version of my own images under a wikicommons compatible licence. Correct me if I'm wrong. LastestAttempt (talk) 19:48, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

I noticed the flickr files, and the Flickr account (a great and nice collection of photos IMO), and it is exactly why I deleted the files here. The images have been priorly published under an uncompatible license in Flickr, and in such case anyone can upload these images here and say they are theirs, however there is no evidences of your ownership. This is done to protect the rights of the copyright holder. You may be interested by reading this: "Can I apply a CC license to low-resolution....?". In summary that mean that 1/you can license any (or any resolution of the) things that you own under the CC licenses of your choices 2/ however your license here will allow anyone in possession of a bigger resolution to use it under the CC license (and as the images are available in high resolution, therefore you give indirecty the licenses for them too). The other issue, if you claim to be the author, is that a prior account (owned by the author of the flickr account) have been blocked here, and, soon or later, this will bring some issues for someone. Possible solutions: you manage to convince the Commons community to unblock the account; or you put directly in Flickr a compatible license for the files that you want to be upload here (see my previous comment about the licenses for specific resolutions); or a third solution can be that you publish in flickr (under free licences) low resolutions of unpublished images. Hope this help you. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 20:26, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. This helps indeed, but sadly for wikipedia, this will mean deleting a lot of images. I did not know about the different-resolution-same-licence rule. My hires images on my flickr account I want to keep -NC-ND-. I've uploaded a couple of thousand images under several accounts on Wikicommons since 2005! That means at least deleting all images of user:Z440Xeon and from user:Biopics (everything under 'self' since 21:11, 28 February 2011à. The ones from user:Lycaon predate my flickr account and can be kept. All those files are a subset on what can be found on my Flickr account. Maybe best thing is to nuke everything? I would be sorry for that but the system is a bit too rigid for me. Thanks for enlightening me. LastestAttempt (talk) 21:37, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

I'm afraid that it is not as so simple. Let me explain, my administrative action have been to speedy delete images that I found here by chance, a thing that I already did hundred and hundred of times. For images uploaded by an account blocked this is a bit different: if an administrator block an account because he have no doubts about who is the owner of that account, therefore that also means that he have no doubts about the ownership of the files, and therefore that the copyright violation is much more less evident, or even inexisting...

I think that if you use your flickr account to publish low resolution of unpublished images (even if they are just slightly different than the high resolutions, it is only necessary that the low resolution photos be not the sames than the ones in high resolutions, example 1 being different than 2), so then the images would be uploadable here by simple transfert, and you will keep control on the resolutions.
