Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Vanished user 95aac1187a60a2a91a531f7f540e9ceb0e5c354b!

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.

Copyright status: File:DHcSZiXUMAA5TS4.jpg-large.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:DHcSZiXUMAA5TS4.jpg-large.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.

Yours sincerely, JuTa 06:13, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

File:John C. Maxwell.jpg

File:John C. Maxwell.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 may soon be deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please replace the copyvio tag with {{subst:OP}} and have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you disagree that the file is a copyright violation for any other reason, please replace the copyvio tag with a regular deletion request. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

 

Is it not enough that you vandalise Wikipedia, but you have to junk up Commons with copyvio as well? Pinkbeast (talk) 22:02, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Lol. My recent edits have been very adequate and quite useful to say the least. Since, signatures are not copyrighted under US Law. It cannot be removed. But, if not enough adequate information is on the photo details, I will add more if need be, but as of now, you have no claim against my uploads of signatures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aviartm (talk • contribs) 02:54, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

You may notice (at some point) that you are commenting below a notification about an image that has been deleted as copyvio. Pinkbeast (talk) 06:59, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

I know, but that does not address what I stated. Since, it is not in violation of anything. Signatures cannot be copyrighted. You should know this if you are a veteran. I gave ample information on the image and where it came from. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aviartm (talk • contribs) 19:28, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

You mean, where you copied it from without permission, like most of your uploads. I have no idea why you're going on about signatures here since the deleted images here weren't signatures; the signatures have been left undeleted. Pinkbeast (talk) 21:23, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

I know, but you criticized my efforts through a generality, so I reacted as such. And how did I copy it without permission? I cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aviartm (talk • contribs) 21:39, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Generally your efforts are a net negative. You've exposed Commons to potential legal trouble through your copyvio uploads, your few non-copyvio uploads are of limited value, and of course just as on Wikipedia (and just like when you were vandalising Wikipedia) you waste the time of the editors who repair the damage you do. We'd be better off if you stopped.

Saying where you copied it without permission from does not mean you had permission; as you can see from the fact that your uploads have been deleted, the resolving admins agree that the copyvio is blatant. You need to read Commons:L carefully and actually comprehend it, which you have so far failed to do. Pinkbeast (talk) 00:16, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
