Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Caahlo!

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.

Your captions

You added captions like "by courtesy of https://wfw.ch" to some files. That does not make sense in this way. If the operator of the spring is relevant write something like "Falknerbrunnen operated by WfW" but definitely without an URL. Read Commons:Captions for more information. --GPSLeo (talk) 17:17, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

My intention was to give credit to WfW for letting me use the pictures. They wanted me to link their Webpage. I didn't know where else to add this so I put it in the captions. If you have a better idea where I should put it i'd be happy to hear it. --Caahlo 10:40, 07 January 2020 (UTC)

The pictures are made by WfW? You stated them as your own works. --GPSLeo (talk) 10:49, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

They told me to mark them as my own work (since this is way easier) and that I simply have to link them.--Caahlo 10:58, 07 January 2020 (UTC)

That is not possible the person or institution made the photo needs to be stated as author. And if author and uploaded are different there needs to be a link to the original image where the license is written or there is a permission in the Commons:OTRS system needed. --GPSLeo (talk) 13:31, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Ok thanks for the information. I'll contact them and I'll work out how to solve this Problem. Thanks for pointing out my errors.--Caahlo 15:35, 07 January 2020 (UTC)

One more: you added stated in (P248) statements you images. I think you got something wrong there. The correct property for the location is location (P276). Thanks. --GPSLeo (talk) 17:20, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

This was intended. The Pictures I uploaded can also be found at lucernewater.ch. I just wanted to link them.--Caahlo 10:40, 07 January 2020 (UTC)
