Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, N1geD!

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:'Live' CD cover minus captions.jpg

---

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

File tagging File:Live CD minus caption.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Live CD minus caption.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:Live CD minus caption.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Image linked to destination I have now added the following changes - [a] copyright note to image [b] copyright note within Infobox (destination for image)

I would wlcome further assistance rather than further edits. The person the image depicts has given me permission to use an image. I am endeavouring to confirm with the owner of the image that attribution is appropriate.

You post questions and complaints on various pages. But you fail to read the answer. I think you not care to read any instructions at all. Not even very simple instructions such as File:Licensing_tutorial_en.svg give to you at the upload wizard. You are not allowed to upload someone else photo here and declare it {{Attribution}} without the copyright holders written permission. Please, please, read {{Attribution}}, it speaks of free commercial reuse worldwide by anyone, anywhere! Not just Wikipedia! This is a en:free content project, all content must be free to use anywhere, anytime by anyone for any purpose including money making purposes. You can not just go, steal someones photos and declare it free. --Martin H. (talk) 11:52, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

See Commons:Help_desk#Picture_for_upload and answere or ask there because you walk on and search for the next talkpage to write your text there - without carying for any answers. --Martin H. (talk) 11:53, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Image uploading

I can see that the nature of Wikipedia makes it difficult to provide guidance for this item. However, I would have thought some worked examples might be helpful.

For example, if I wanted to write about a living musician and the only images available were attibutable, would it be acceptable for me to attribute them, with the name of the owner of the image and the date that the image was created (if it is possible to establish that?) My expectation is that once the image has a copyright symbol and that the (online) source has been confirmed, it would then be possible to include the image - since any contravention of the original copyright may only be through inclusion of an improperly-sourced image on the online source site? Or is any other site 'downstream' of the source site also potentially in breach also?

I think what I am asking is 'what is the point of the copyright symbol if I know who the owner is and have found a copy of the image in a place maintained by the owner of the image?' - as this is a worked example of the process I am going through at the moment...N1geD (talk) 17:49, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
