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. 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).

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 06:14, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Volgogradmemorial.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.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

This is in response to your post deletion comment, which I moved to the talk page:
- "Ihmettelen suuresti tätä poistoa. Muistomerkki on julkinenpaikka, jossa kuka tahansa voi vierailla maksuttomasti ja ottaa valokuvia. Valokuvausta ei ole erikseen kielletty siellä. Kuvan oikeudet on sillä, joka kuvan on ottanut omalla kamerallaan, hän voi julkaista kuvan haluamallaan tavalla. Vierailimme Volgogradissa myös toisen maailmansodan museossa ja siellä kuvaaminen oli kielletty kieltotauluilla. Museosta sai kuitenkin lupalapun, jolla sai valokuvata tai videoida. Siinä myös kysyttiin mihin tarkoitukseen syntyvää materiaalia on tarkoitus käyttää. Patsaalla valokuvaaminen oli täysin vapaata, joten ymmärtääkseni kuvaaja saa julkaista materiaalia haluamallaan tavalla.--Zindox (talk) 17:32, 7 July 2011 (UTC)"
All works of art -- sculpture, painting, drawings, photographs, architecture, as well as literary works -- have a copyright which usually lasts until 70 years after the creator's death. A photograph of a work that still has a copyright is a Derivative Work and requires permission of the creator for general use. This does not mean that you cannot take photographs of such works, but it does put strict limits on what you can do with them.
In some countries, but only for buildings in Finland and not at all in Russia, there is a special exception to the creator's rights, which we call Freedom of Panorama. In countries without such a rule, Commons cannot keep photographs of copyrighted works, even if they are on public display. If you have questions, feel free to leave a message here or on my talk page. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 13:08, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Perustamiskokous 1929.jpg
[edit]This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Perustamiskokous 1929.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. |
