User talk:The University of Gibraltar

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, The University of Gibraltar!

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:The Arms of The University of Gibraltar.JPG

File:The Arms of The University of Gibraltar.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 has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) This file is a copyright violation for the following reason: COM:F1 This non-trivial copyrighted logo is taken from the university, and is thus a clear copyright violation. (The description here also implies it is from there) This logo is copyrighted because it is a non-trivial artistic design, not simply geometric shapes. Commons doesn't allow for COM:FAIRUSE imagery; if you wish to upload fair use imagery, please do so the relevant Wikipedia, and even then only if it is used there. Images on Commons must instead be free-use. To permit this image on Commons, it either be clearly marked with a Creative Commons-like free use license, or go through the COM:OTRS process. Although heraldic blazons are not copyright, their renditions are. That means that this particular drawing of the heraldic emblem is not permitted, however, if the blazon (positioning and colouring of items) behind the coat of arms were re-rendered under a free-use license, it may be permitted on Commons. This is detailed under Commons:Coats of arms, which outlines the distinctions. On Commons, the burden of proof for license COM:EVIDence is on the uploader. That means this image should be deleted, and recreated when the uploader returns with evidence, rather than leaving it until evidence is provided. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
