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.

Question about

File:The Daily Collegian Front Page.jpg

Front Page of The Daily Collegian on Jan. 16, 2020.

It is:

Fair use for The Daily Collegian

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

1. It is of much lower resolution than the original.
2. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
3. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because the photo and its historical significance are the object of discussion in the article.

Let me know if that isn't allowed. I work on the paper and can get them to release the rights if needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NoahRiffe (talk • contribs) 00:28, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

@NoahRiffe: Wikimedia Commons doesn't allow fair use images. See Commons:Fair use. You might be able to upload it on a local wiki depending on the circumstances. If you want to upload it under a free license that would be exceedingly difficult, you would need to clear the both of the images in the screenshot as well as the text.

@DalefromCleveland: Sounds good, I can just easily pick another front and get it signed off on. My apologies for not understanding that Wikimedia Commons doesn't allow fair use images. I can just delete it if thats possible? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NoahRiffe (talk • contribs) 00:39, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

@NoahRiffe: Thanks for contributing and welcome. It's probably easiest to upload that same screengrab on the local Wiki (enWP I'm assuming) with the File Upload Wizard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:File_Upload_Wizard) and tag it with a fair use rational. The wizard will walk you through what to do. You don't have to get permission then. DalefromCleveland (talk) 00:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

@DalefromCleveland: Thank you so much! That is extremely helpful! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NoahRiffe (talk • contribs) 01:01, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Hey!

Hi, the image you were talking about is not a screenstill but a photograph. The image may appear a low quality image but it had been captured by a 4k camera. Maybe your internet connection is not too good to load all of the image. Thanks Gamer10101 (talk) 04:42, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
