Please link images

Hello!

Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate category and optionally place the images on topic pages (galleries), or do both (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. Siebrand 12:45, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

File:Droylsden Metrolink poster.jpg

Hi Peeky. I'm afraid I had to delete your upload, File:Droylsden Metrolink poster.jpg, as it was a derivative work of a poster. Different countries have different laws, but in the UK, the safe and simple rule is to assume that anything 3D in public you can take a photo of, but something 2D you can't. You can find out more information at COM:FOP#United Kingdom. -mattbuck (Talk) 09:44, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Interesting. I had always been led to believe that anything on public display or where there was no reasonable expectation of privacy was by default free to photograph and use etc. I suppose most of my (limited) legal knowledge is about depictions and recordings of people rather than objects, so didn't know. --Peeky44 (talk) 14:24, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
