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.

File:楊緣.jpg

File:楊緣.jpg 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 may soon be deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please replace the copyvio tag with {{subst:OP}} and have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you disagree that the file is a copyright violation for any other reason, please replace the copyvio tag with a regular deletion request. This file is a copyright violation for the following reason: Not an official Parliament photograph, so I don't think it would be under the same licenses as them (also currently doesn't have the license on the website for her page) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

My logic for this being used correctly is as follows:

• This image has been published by the Parliament website. https://members-api.parliament.uk/api/Members/5267/Thumbnail
• As it is not a picture of the parliamentary chamber, it should therefore be covered by the Open Parliament Licence.
• Other parliamentary portraits on Wikimedia Commons are licensed in the same way.

I based the copyright information for this image on the similar image File:Official portrait of Sir Graham Brady MP.jpg, which comes from the same source (specifically https://members-api.parliament.uk/api/Members/435/Portrait).

I don't think my logic is flawed, but if it is then I don't object to this being deleted.

I've replied already, but basically:

a) Just because it's published on the Parliament website doesn't mean that copyright is automatically owned by them, especially since it seems to be a placeholder, see w:Jack Abbott (politician) (Parliament and photo origin) or w:Callum Anderson (Parliament and photo origin).

b) Parliament portrait photographs are specifically licensed to be CC BY 3.0 and not under OPL.

c) The "other parliamentary portraits" are actual parliamentary portraits, not something like this photo or the photos for Anderson or Abbott. reppop^talk 22:41, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
