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).

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.

Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, Roland Maibach!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

Urheberrechtsverlezung

Ich sags ungern aber die Bilder Image:Umschlag KdS Schwyz Bezirk Hoefe.jpg + File:Umschlag KdS Lichtenstein Das Oberland.jpgmüssen wir löschen lassen, da auf den Umschlag eine neuere Foto abgebildtet ist das urhebrrechtlich geschützt ist (Die Abbildung des Umschlages des Bandes Genf geht, da es eine alte gemeinfrei Zeichnung ist). Bitte achte in Zukunft bisschen besser darauf. Denn solche Sacnas von Titelseiten usw. mit urheberrechtlich geschützen Fotos (und davon geh ich jetzt bei einem Farbbild mal noch aus den vor über 70 Jahren, Farbfilme ind er Qualität, eher nein) können nur dann behalten werden, wenn eine Freigabe des Fotografen selber vorliegt (z.B. via OTRS) --Bobo11 (talk) 16:01, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

KdS permissions

Good afternoon Roland Maibach,

You might have received some of the above notes by error.

If Gesellschaft für Schweizerische Kunstgeschichte (or other holders of copyright) grants a license to reproduce some or part of its publications under a free license, we like to host them.

We can also host reproductions of works that have entered the public domain. (Sometimes a tricky question for works that are not pre-1900).

If a license is granted for works already published elsewhere, a permission statement would need to be emailed to OTRS (can also be in German/French/Italian, see Commons:OTRS). --  Docu  at 11:55, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
