Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
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.BotMultichillT 06:21, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Ezinelogo.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Ezinelogo.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

[edit]This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Vasank.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Vasank.jpg]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter 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! |

EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:03, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
Wikimedia Commons does not accept fair use content.
We do this because Commons is a shared media repository. Downstream wikis have different policies based on local laws. Uses that are acceptable under US law, for example, may not be acceptable in many other countries with more restrictive rules. In addition, fair use is not compatible with our aim as a collection of freely distributable media files. Therefore, Commons cannot legally rely on fair use provisions. Non-free content that may be used with reference to fair use may be uploaded locally if your project allows this.

Hello Varsha1990.
You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful. This is your last warning. The next time you upload a file that violates copyright, you will be blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions. |

- @Varsha1990: Even though you took the photograph, the cartoon character in the photograph is not your original work. Under US copyright law, a photograph of a copyrighted item is considered a Derivative Work, and both the photographer (you) and the creator of the subject of the picture (the cartoonist) hold copyright over the image. Therefore, such images cannot be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons unless it can be demonstrated that the subject of the picture has a compatible free license as well. See Commons:Derivative works for more information.
- Thanks for guidance. In that case, can I get the approval from the cartoonist for uploading in the wikipedia commons. How can I send the approval letter to wikipedia commons. Please guide me. Varsha1990 (talk) 16:13, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

- Also, just because the magazine was distributed for free doesn't mean it has an acceptable free license. For example, the publisher of the magazine might not want other people to modify the images or use them in a product that they are going to sell, but Wikimedia Commons requires that all uploaded images allow modifications and commercial use. --Ahecht (talk) 15:13, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- The file was created by me from the original emagazine (pdf format) circulated free of cost by the publishers. I made the jpg file from the pdf file. Hence it is my own work and not a copy right violation. Please permit me to use this. Varsha1990 (talk) 14:31, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. In that case, can i get the approval from the Publisher of the emagazine for use of the picture in the wikimedia commons. If I get an approval through mail, how can i send to wikimedia commons. Please guide me. Varsha1990 (talk) 16:19, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, the publisher would need to follow the instructions at Commons:Email_templates to send an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org releasing the rights to the images. --Ahecht (talk) 17:09, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Sansad ratna logo1.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |
