Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Portlandparks!

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:Mike Whitmore.jpg

File:Mike Whitmore.jpg is considered to fulfill the criteria for speedy deletion and has been marked on its page. The following reason has been specified: Image is clearly a photo of a photo [probably posted in a wall display], and is therefore unlikely to be the uploader's own work, and very likely to be a copyright violation. Accurate source and permission information has not been provided. If you believe the content does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, you may replace the speedy deletion tag with a regular deletion request (if the content has not been deleted) or request undeletion (if the content has already been deleted). All your uploads, including deleted ones, are listed in your upload log. If you need help, please read our frequently asked questions or visit the help desk. Please do not remove this message from your talk page. You may set up archiving instead. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Your message

In response to your message left on my talk page, I placed two of your recent uploads into the Couch Park category, although it is possible that those two photos – of the cover and the contents page of the Couch Park Master Plan – might be considered copyright violations (I'm not sure). Your third uploaded photo, taken of a printed black-and-white photo of Mike Whitmore, has been tagged for deletion from Commons, as you claimed it was your "own work", whereas it almost certainly is not, and is likely a photo whose copyright is owned by the City of Portland, not by you. Please read the Commons licensing policy, linked in the "First steps tutorial" box in the "Welcome" message at the top of this page. Steve Morgan (talk) 11:40, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
