First steps tutorial

Our first steps tour and our FAQ 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. You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing here and assume good faith for the intentions of others. This is a wiki—it is really easy.

Getting help

More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel irc:wikimedia-commons #wikimedia-commons (direct access). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at Commons talk:Licensing.

Goodies, tips and tricks
  • Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities.
  • All your uploads are stored in your personal gallery
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~
  • Use the CommonSense tool to find good categories for your files (then other people can find them too!)
  • To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:Image:Foo.jpg]], which produces: Image:Foo.jpg
  • If you're copying files from another project, be sure to use the CommonsHelper
Made a mistake?
  • Did you want to rename or move a file? Simply upload the file again and mark the old one like this: {{bad name|correct name}}
  • For more information read the full deletion guidelines.
(P.S. Would you like to provide feedback on this message?)

OTRS volunteer[edit]

Hi Amatulic, if "I'm an OTRS volunteer working on this.", then why don't you show that on your userpage (example: User:AFBorchert)? This might have saved me some time. --Túrelio (talk) 19:46, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My user page redirects to my Wikipedia user page, which clearly says I belong to the OTRS volunteer category. It didn't occur to me to add the category to my Commons user page because it's a redirect page. I have added it.
Also, do you know how to remove that "License migration candidate" category at File:Parul Yadav award.jpg? It doesn't seem to qualify, I don't know how that category got there, and I can't seem to remove it. Amatulic (talk) 19:55, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This results from the template {{Gdfl}}. If you remove it, the migration message disappears. The GDFL license doesn't add any usability over CC-BY-SA anyway. --Túrelio (talk) 08:11, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thanks. I added the parameter migration=redundant to it to fix it. I included GDFL because the permission letter specified both CC-By-SA and GDFL. Amatulic (talk) 20:11, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This image is a free-use icon. It is easily created using the "Chess board painting tool" at the Musketeer Chess game-playing website. (http://musketeerchess.net/tools/boardpainter/). The icon is freely used for on-line chess games at other game-playing forums, for example at (www.chess.com) and in particular at (www.chess.com/es/forum/view/chess960-chess-variants/a-game-of-musketeer-chess).

The developer of the Musketeer Chess website himself has used and promoted the free-use of the icon at other game-playing websites. His username at "chess.com" is "musketeerchess2015" and an example is here: (https://www.chess.com/es/forum/view/chess960-chess-variants/corporal-pawn-chess-musketeerchess2015-vickalan). Thank you for your consideration. LithiumFlash (talk) 15:46, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There was no evidence provided that the icon is free use, or even available under an acceptable free license. The Musketeer Chess site has no licensing information for re-using content from that site. You also claimed that this is your "own work" when the icon was already published elsewhere with no attribution to you. Anachronist (talk) 17:40, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On deletion of File:Rama and Sita Love.png[edit]

I never wanted to hurt the sentiments of anyone and when I uploaded it on commons through commons app on android phone the app didn't ask for any source and so unlike on the commons upload wizard on webpage(using chrome) i had no option to mention the author and the source .Further more when i checked on web through my browser i found that it automatically perceived that i had created the image. Ihad no such intentions.Sorry if knowingly or unknowingly i violated the rules but since it was available on internet and on pinterest and freely accessible i think there should not be any copyright problem.Moreover there are many people who are freely using these pics on their blogs--King Rishab Dugar (talk) 13:38, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You didn't harm anything. Much on Pinterest is freely available, but some isn't. We seem to have special rules in place for images from Pinterest, but because the Pinterest image came from somewhere else, I am not sure if it would be considered free. Do you know if this is an old image created several decades ago? If so, then it wouldn't be subject to copyright. In any case, it needs some investigation.
If the image is kept, I think it would be an excellent image to include in the Wikipedia:Sita article. Anachronist (talk) 21:09, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

GIF problem?[edit]

Hi! For me, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Centipede_backward_propagation.gif seems identical to the forward motion, no difference what appears. JSoos (talk) 10:58, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@JSoos: You can see the difference if you view them side by side:
  • Forward propagation
    Forward propagation
  • Backward propagation
    Backward propagation
Look closely at where the feet clump together. In one image, the clumps move forward along the length of the centipede, and the clumps are in the air. In the other picture, the clumps move backward, and the clumps are on the ground. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:16, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks, indeed! Now I see the difference. Sorry for bothering! JSoos (talk) 19:55, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@JSoos: I made those images when I wondered what each way of walking would look like, and subsequently found videos of centipedes walking in each way. I wrote a blog article about it here and uploaded the images to Commons. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:04, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
