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?

deletion requests

Hello! Thank you for your contribution to Commons and your attention to copyright here.

Just one moment - there is practically no need to open DR (deletion request) if image is already nominated to deletion (for example, it has {{No license}}). Moreover, you can also use {{subst:nld}}, {{subst:nsd}}, {{subst:npd}} to mark images without source, license, author, etc. and you don't need to open DR in such obvious cases rubin16 (talk) 14:11, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Re: Your Deletion Request usage

Hi. I'm contacting you because of what I consider to be overuse of the DR process here at commons. Most of the deletion requests you are opening are not needed, you can mark images with tags for No Source, No Permission, No Author, No License, etc, without opening loads of deletion requests. As my colleague Rubin16 says above, there is no need to open a DR in such obvious cases. Please consider tagging problematic images first. Thanks. BarkingFish (talk) 15:58, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

So why tell me again there is nothing conterversal or OTT since Rubin's message from me. Good twins (talk) 16:02, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Well instead of starting a DR on this, you could simply have used {{Npd}} to mark it as not having relevant permission. You simply gotta look at stuff and decide whether to use a tag or open a DR. DR is only used in cases where it's not immediately clear why the image needs to be deleted. BarkingFish (talk) 16:11, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

My logos...

File:Shaw Direct Logo.svg

Hi, not too sure what you're trying to get at here. I have clearly specified 3 permission/licensing tags in the description - the logo just consists of a text and a simple shape, therefore it doesn't pass the threshold of originality, so it can be tagged as such. Please tell me if I'm missing something. Connormah (talk | contribs) 21:55, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

The source does not give permisson for the use of the logo. There is no copyright symbols on the source but one would have to assume (in terms of damage limitation) that it is copyrighted within the source. Good twins (talk) 11:59, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

I have the same concern about the file I uploaded: Accion Regional with text.svgWas it always like this? I've uploaded many PD-ineligible files. It clearly says that a PD-ineligible file "...does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and is therefore in the public domain." also "it is free of copyright restrictions". Are you sure about this?

The same thing here: Best_Buy_Logo.svg. It was agreed at here that it is PD-ineligible and as you see, it is still in commons. Ufo karadagli (talk) 12:34, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Like I said, since the logo only involved a smple shape and text, it can be classified as PD-text, there are multiple instances of this all over commons. The Trademark tag is there just In case, but you don't need explicit permission stating a logo is PD-text... Connormah (talk | contribs) 13:51, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, if something is inherently ineligible for copyright protection, then obviously no permission is needed (at the source or anywhere else). Trademark is an entirely separate area of law, and is not a reason for deletion (we do not require trademark waivers to host things here). Please do not tag PD-ineligible files this way; if you feel that something is indeed copyrightable then follow a normal deletion procedure. Please see Threshold of originality, and Commons:Non-copyright restrictions for trademark and other concerns not specifically related to copyright. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:33, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Carl, thanks a lot for clarifying it. We can now continue vectorizing logos. Ufo karadagli (talk) 15:54, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Please read before troubling other users

Hello Good twins,

Please note that we do not need permission for PD-Pictures. The PD-tag is totally valid here. Sincerely -- RE rillke questions? 16:06, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

When ready with reading COM:L, I have a good tip for you (don't continue reading before you understand our policy): Special:Preferences#preftab-8 - Quick Delete. Enjoy it. -- RE rillke questions? 16:18, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Good twins!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

File Renaming Reason

Hi, I have declined a number of your requests for file renaming. While the names you suggest are better, the files don't actually require renaming, see rename guidelines for when a file needs to be renamed, simply 'a better name' isn't sufficient reason. I have used your filename suggestions to improve the file descriptions instead. Thanks. :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 00:52, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
