Thank you for providing images to the commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on the commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:

  • Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
  • State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikipedia user, link to the person's local user page.
  • If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
  • Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
  • Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, have a look at Commons:Licensing, Commons:Criteria for inclusion and the Community Portal. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Village pump. Thank you. -- Duesentrieb(?!) 01:35, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]


I recently loaded this images - Image:Ritz Hotel London exterior.jpg + Image:Nelson On His Column - Trafalgar Square - London - 240404.jpg from en:wiki. Is it OK now?
Is it OK if I copy edit page from en:wiki to create page?JaT 09:28, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Excellent photo of Nelson's column. As you can see I added a few categories so other users can find the photo easier. The photo of Ritz Hotel is published as "fair use", eg. without the consent of the photographer. Since WikiCommons do not allow "fair use" photos it had to be deleted.

Please add license info, source, categories, etc for this image. Please also go through your earlier uploads and add information where it is missing. -- Duesentrieb(?!) 01:43, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank for answer. I am a beginner so I will try to improve my work. JaT 05:58, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Arms-hackney-lb.jpg[edit]

Hi, as you can see at en:Image:Arms-hackney-lb.jpg, the image is used on English Wikipedia under "fair use". Since WikiCommons do not allow fair use images, it will have to be deleted, I'm afraid. Thuresson 09:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK JaT 10:06, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Arms-redbridge.jpg[edit]

Hi, this image is from English Wikipedia, en:Image:Arms-redbridge.jpg, where it is used with permission. The permission does not include using it on web pages. Since all images on WikiCommons must be made available to anybody for any use, it has been deleted. Thuresson 12:15, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Hi, who is the copyright owner who gave you permission to upload this photo? Thuresson 16:59, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - repaired. JaT 07:05, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean "repaired"? You only removed the "no source" tag. The Southwark Photo Library is protected by copyright and not released under a free license, e.g. it is a copyright violation to upload the photo here? Care to explain? Thuresson 08:14, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Raising the obelisk.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Hello, JaT~commonswiki!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

This media may be deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Manchester Exchange Squares.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.

If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work.

If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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!
