Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, ArthurX63!

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.

Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 in the Philippines

Hello Lordartworks,
thanks for taking part in Wiki Loves Monuments 2012! I can see that you released the pictures under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 licence, though the information in the EXIF metadata (for example here) says that the picture is released under the CC-BY-NC (with the NonCommercial clause). Could you please confirm that you want to release them under the CC-BY-SA? We only accept this licence for pictures from Wiki Loves Monuments 2012. Thanks, odder (talk) 17:30, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Odder, I'd like to confirm that I want to release ALL of them under the CC-BY-SA. I thought the upload and CC process would remove/ignore my old CC.

I hope I replied on the right page, please let me know if got this message.

Thank you.

Hi Lordartworks, and thank you for such a prompt reply! Yes, usually the copyright tag that is placed below the image (in the description field) does the trick; here, I just wanted to confirm the copyright status because the EXIF data said the pictures are released under CC-BY-NC (the software we use, MediaWiki, does not remove any information from the picture and preserves the EXIF data added by the author of the image).

As for the message, there are two usual ways of communicating on Wikimedia wikis: you can write on another user's talk page (mine is here), or you can leave a reply to a message on your user page (so the discussion stays at the same place and it's easier to follow). In the end, I got the message OK :-) Thanks for clearing this up, and welcome to Wikimedia Commons! odder (talk) 17:54, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

No problem, again thank you.

Have a nice day!

A barnstar for you!
