Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Sandaho!

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:Charles Sandison portrait 2020.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Charles Sandison portrait 2020.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:Charles Sandison portrait 2020.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Hi Sandaho. If you're the copyright holder of this photo (i.e. the photographer who took it and not just the subject of the photo) and you want to release it under a free license like {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}}, then that's fine. However, the same image can be seen used online at intimo.maxestrella.com/en/ in June 2020 and there's no indication that it's been released under a free license that Commons accepts. Since this prior use pre-dates the file being uploaded to Commons by roughly six months, you probably should follow the instructions given in COM:VRT#Licensing images: when do I contact VRT? as well as in the template posted above, and send a COM:CONSENT email to Commons VRT for verification purposes. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:14, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Luiz (3).jpg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Luiz (3).jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Hi Sandaho. This file is a little trickier to resolve because it actually appears to be a photograph of another potentially copyrightable work, which means that it would be considered a derivative work with two copyrights to take into account. If you're the photographer that took this photo, then you're the copyright holder of the photo and the license you've uploaded the file under seems fine. However, the visual artwork being photographed is likely eligible for it's own copyright separate from the one for the photo and for this the COM:CONSENT of the artist is likely going to be needed as well. Although Spain does seem to allow freedom of panorama for publicly displayed works of art, it only seems to apply to permenantly displayed works, which means that it's not going to apply to something such as this. If you're the artist who created this work as well as the person who took this photo, then all you really need to do is send a CONSENT email to COM:VRT for verification purposes. If, on the other hand, you're neither the person who took this photo nor the artist who created this work, you're going to need to follow the instructions given at COM:VRT#If you are NOT the copyright holder and have that person (or those persons) send a CONSENT email to Commons VRT. Finally, if by chance you're the artist who did create this as well as the photographer who took this photo, please make sure to read COM:LRV and COM:NCR because you can't really change you're mind once you upload an image to Commons under a valid free license. Anyone anywhere in the world will be able to download this photo at anytime and re-use it for any purpose (including commercial and derivative uses) without needing to ask for further permission. As long as they comply with the terms of the license you choose, they can even use the image in ways that you might not approve of or agree with. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:35, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
