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.

AC Cobra (Shelby Cobra) - new files on en:wp transferable to Commons?

In de:wp I would like to create / rework articles about the AC Cobra 260/289/427. On en:wp there are several new files from the Shelby American Museum and the Canadian International Autoshow here. All new files are not from Commons, just only on the en:wp. Is there a reason for this (concerning the licenses), I haven´t seen yet (or am I just the first to ask)? Are they transferable to Commons? If yes, it would be nice, if somebody could do this (sorry, my skills are rather writing articles than handling files and licenses). The right categories are: "Shelby vehicles" and "AC Cobra". You can answer in english or german as you like. Thanks. --Roland Rattfink (talk) 08:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

A file such as File:Shelby AC Cobra 289 FIA Roadster.JPG appears suitable for moving to Commons. See WP:MITC and WP:EIW#MoveToCommons. The original uploader should have uploaded the file to Commons instead of to the English Wikipedia. Many Wikipedia users upload files to their local Wikipedia even if the files are freely licensed or public domain. This is usually because they are not aware that they should upload to Commons. These projects are so complicated that hardly anyone knows everything about them. Maybe no single person knows every last trick. --Teratornis (talk) 09:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

I have some notes about this in User:Teratornis/Notes#Move some images to Commons if you want to read about my adventures. --Teratornis (talk) 09:18, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the answers and the links. Up to now I have just categorized files and transferred some new files from Flickr. I´ve just tried to transfer File:Shelby AC Cobra, CSX2000.JPG, but it didn´t work right now. I seems that I had to read the instructions a little more detailed when I have time to. Maybe there is the opportunity to test it the next days. --Roland Rattfink (talk) 09:45, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Your talk page does not show that you have created a TUSC account which you will need to run CommonsHelper. My notes are detailed about all the steps. The first image you move is the hardest; further image moves will be easy. If you will move many images, you may want to create a template as a user subpage on the English Wikipedia to save typing by constructing the CommonsHelper URL with input fields prefilled, as I did with User:Teratornis/Notes/CommonsHelper. See for example my wikitext in User:Teratornis/Notes#Move more files, from Category:Wind turbines. --Teratornis (talk) 16:49, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

I am now proud owner of a TUSC account!

File source is not properly indicated: File:Cataraqui wreck.jpg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Cataraqui wreck.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

@Jcb: I have added the source and other important information about the origin of this work from 1845 which is part of the State Library of Victoria, Australia (see the added links). Please check it again, if this work, which is used in en:wp for a long time, is now okay for Commons, thanks. --Roland Rattfink (talk) 22:32, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks! Everything seems fine now. Jcb (talk) 22:58, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
