Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Fitzkarl!

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:GA Graham Dursley.jpg

 

Pay attention to licensing

Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. File:GA Graham Dursley.jpg seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file. If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

The reason given by the user who added this tag is: In what sense is this image "own work"? Did the uploader take this photograph? At least 113 years ago? (The subject, en:George Augustus Graham}, died in 1909 - so this photo must have been taken at least 113 years ago.)

The reason given by the user who added this tag is: In what sense is this image "own work"? Other websites attribute this image (an oil on canvas painting) to the painter John Wooton (perhaps 1682–1764). If the uploader "copied" or "repainted" that image, then this licence tag needs amending (at least).

If you don't pay more attention to the accuracy of the tags/licences you apply, the community will have no option than to enforce the relevant section of the Commons:Blocking policy.

Hi. Please stop uploading random images you find on the internet to Wikimedia Commons. With presumptive or hopeful claims that they (might) meet some Commons licencing criteria. I'll be escalating to COM:ANI shortly. Guliolopez (talk) 20:17, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

File:13th Lord Lovat.jpg

 

Pay attention to licensing

Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. File:13th Lord Lovat.jpg seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file. If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

The reason given by the user who added this tag is: Uploader claims 'own work'. But the subject of this image died in 1887. If uploader took this photo, they are at least 140 years old...

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Donald Walter Cameron of Lochiel, 25th Chief 2.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!

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Donald Walter Cameron of Lochiel, 25th Chief 2.jpg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Donald Walter Cameron of Lochiel, 25th Chief 2.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, 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.

File tagging File:Achnacarry Castle, Lochaber.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Achnacarry Castle, Lochaber.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:Achnacarry Castle, Lochaber.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Warning

Fix the source, date, author, and license of your uploads. Do not upload any more files before doing so, or you might be blocked.

You can't use a Creative Commons license for images you copy from the Internet, even if they are old. You must provide the actual date of the picture or the painting (at least approximately), and the URL where you find them. If you have questions regarding which license to use, you can ask on the copyright board. Thanks, Yann (talk) 21:35, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

@Yann: This warning seems rather harsh. Fitzkarl has agreed[1] to help clarify the situation at File:Donald Walter Cameron of Lochiel, 25th Chief 2.jpg. While the first attempt to explain the situation is not ideal (removing the anonymous declaration but not giving us the photographer's name)[2] it doesn't deserve a reversion and formal warning. Just as you ask here, the user is trying to fix the problem. I assume this is more due to lack of familiarity of process, so I'll try to help Fitzkarl to clarify the situation. From Hill To Shore (talk) 21:59, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

@From Hill To Shore: Well, I checked their uploads, and most, if not all need some fixes. And seeing the amount of warning on this talk page, the previous warnings were not strong enough IMO. Yann (talk) 22:04, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

The reason given by the user who added this tag is: "Own work"? In what sense? Taking a "photograph of original miniature" is (at best) a derived work.

Arms of Chief of Clan Cameron

Hi, and thanks. Re the insignia of Royal Victorian Order and Knight of the Thistle, I can add them in due course, e.g. for Thistle, and for CVO. However these distinctions are not hereditary (not like baronet) and would have to be for individual chiefs. My best bet is CVO to the 27th Lochiel, and Knight of the Thistle for the 26th, Yours ever, Czar Brodie~commonswiki (talk) 09:25, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Update: done sub update: There is a bizarre quirk in Inkscape files where the text fails to load. I forgot about this and uploaded without formatting the text into an object. I can't seem to update the files, I think I need to wait 24 hours. so they are without moto in the interim. On another issue I am not sure the distinction of CVO merits a circlet, CVO is Commander, I think they only put a Circlet for Knights; so another editor, more knowledgeable may dispute this. I will post the query on an appropriate page.Czar Brodie~commonswiki (talk) 18:26, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
