Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Newyorkadam!

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 tagging File:Internet Scary Screamer.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Internet Scary Screamer.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:Internet Scary Screamer.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

4MeasuringSpoons

Hello. Could you please upload your version of File:4MeasuringSpoons.jpg under a different name? You can add something like "highlighted" to the name. I need to revert the existing file to its previous version as that is in use in several languages. I hope you understand, but if you have any questions, please let me know. Regards. Jonathunder (talk) 23:05, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I can definitely do that, sorry about that! I'm not using the computer that the file is on at the moment, but I'll be sure to do that soon. Sorry :) -Newyorkadam (talk) 23:21, 13 January 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam

Sorry, I'm pretty inexperienced on Commons-- do I make it a new version on the same image page, or just reupload entirely as a new image? If I reupload entirely, should I mention somewhere that you took the picture? -Newyorkadam (talk) 23:30, 13 January 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam

Go ahead and upload it like a brand new image, with a different name. After you do that, I can show you how to make a link to the existing image in the "derived from" area. Jonathunder (talk) 00:50, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Ok, I've uploaded the image under the name File:HighlightedTeaspoon.jpg. What do I do now? -Newyorkadam (talk) 04:51, 16 January 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam

If you look at this edit, you'll see I added a couple of templates that let me plug in who the original photographer was and what changes were made. In general, that's how you do it. Jonathunder (talk) 00:36, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for all of the help! :) Is this new image that I uploaded ok?-Newyorkadam (talk) 04:12, 17 January 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam

Breyers© Chocolate Ice Cream

Unfortunately, the product packaging artwork in File:Breyers© Chocolate Ice Cream.jpg is under copyright. Commons can't host anything that can't be copied freely. Please don't be discouragedː many new users, including me when I was new here, upload things that have to be deleted. Again, I'd be happy to help if you have any questions. Jonathunder (talk) 23:19, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

That's ok! I wasn't using it on any articles yet anyway. -Newyorkadam (talk) 23:22, 13 January 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam

File:Breyers© Chocolate Ice Cream.jpg

File:Breyers© Chocolate Ice Cream.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has 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 it, 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!

File:Wmflabs Winter 1-20-14.png

Hi. Thank you for uploading File:Wmflabs Winter 1-20-14.png. :-) I cropped the image because I found the browser chrome to be distracting and possibly misleading. Someone may complain about the inclusion of the Wikipedia logo, though I personally think such complaints are petty and baseless. --MZMcBride (talk) 19:07, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, that's ok :) -Newyorkadam (talk) 15:49, 27 January 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
