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. 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. |

File source is not properly indicated: File:Mandë Holford.jpg
[edit]This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Mandë Holford.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Mandë Holford.jpg]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter 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! |

File:Nina Papavasiliou.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

An unfree Flickr license was found on File:Paula Caballero at the German Development Institute.jpg

I have deleted this image because the user at Flickr is known for using content from Getty Images that is very likely not compatible with the Creative Commons licence they granted. There have been numerous files from this Flickr stream that were deleted per Commons:Deletion requests/Getty Images photos from the TechCrunch Flickr account, so I when I reviewed this upload here I could not approve the free licence.

I was looking at this file for Commons: License review, and am not clear why you believe it was taken by a federal employee. Brodman worked for a lot of places, not all federal, and we don't even know this was a work photo, so unless we have good evidence this a free photo, we will have to assume it isn't, and delete it. --GRuban (talk) 13:33, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- I got the image from a US government webpage here so I assumed that if it were posted on a government page, it would be available for use. I didn't know how to connote that so I just selected the closest option I could find. -- Webmz (talk)
- Ah. Drat. Unfortunately that's not strictly true. It needs to be made by an employee of the US Federal Government in the course of their duties, not just displayed on a US Federal Government web page. I got bitten by that myself early in my Commons "career", I uploaded files from Voice of America, only to have it explained to me that quite often the government uses files made by other people, which doesn't make them public domain; so unless the web page specifically says the photo was made by someone from the Government, we can't assume it was. Sorry. --GRuban (talk) 16:08, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

- Wait, wait! I think I found it. Does this look like the original to you? https://collections.nlm.nih.gov/catalog/nlm:nlmuid-101636427-img I think your image was cropped from this one, and this one is marked as "The National Library of Medicine believes this item to be in the public domain.", which it does not do for all images, for example https://collections.nlm.nih.gov/catalog/nlm:nlmuid-101410949-img, so I think we can save this one. --GRuban (talk) 16:17, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Maryam Zaringhalam Headshot.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:Maryam Zaringhalam Headshot.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Sylvia Serfaty at ICM 2018.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |
