Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
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.BotMultichillT 06:29, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

- Dear Lumos,
Only images which are licensed as 'Attribution Creative Commons' on flickr like this: [1] or 'Attribution ShareAlike Creative Commons' like this: [2] are acceptable on Commons. (please see the license) (I uploaded both images to Commons and they both passed flickrreview like this photo...with the flickrowner's cooperation) Images with a Non-Commercial (NC) or No-Derivative (ND) restriction is Not permitted. This image here has a Non-Commercial restriction ([3])...which means it Cannot be used on here unless the flickrowner changes the license to 1 of the 2 options I suggest. These are the rules. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 03:02, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
Comment: An Admin flickrmailed the copyright owner who relicensed the picture as "cc by sa" or 'Attribution ShareAlike Creative Commons.' So it can now be kept. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:54, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

dic.academic.ru is nothing but a mirror of Wikipedia. Do not copy from that source, copy from Wikipedia instead and use CommonsHelper for image transfers. --Martin H. (talk) 21:56, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Copyright status: File:Copenhagen tunnel south portal.jpg

This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Copenhagen tunnel south portal.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. |
