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.

Pre 1923 sources

Hello! I noticed that you added a number of sources to images (example) to corroborate PD status. I don't mind this, but as far as I understand copyright i) this could only be relevant if the image is actually a scan from the book you cite (Are you sure it is?) and ii) for two dimensional old art objects, the (re-)publication in books is not relevant for copyright per Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. Only the production year of the artwork matters. bamse (talk) 19:57, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi bamse. Yes, I'm begining to see pre-1923 publication for non-US publication is not too meaningful, so I'm probably not going to upload the obviously poor quality monochromes, except maybe as a temporary image, to be replaced by a color photo. On that count, I should probably delete tag the flying granary image (File:Shingisan engi-flying granary scene-Murayama-ed-Wakanmeigasen-pp55-6.jpg), but I realized only after I initiated the upload process that this picture was already available in color.

On copyright policy, I too initially didn't think uploaders had the burden of providing initial publication for centuries old art. And it looks like many images are uploaded with that understanding, using Permission: {{PD-Japan}} {{PD-Art}} tags. But I reread the section under copyright for art, and it stated that artwork (paintings) is not considered published by virtue of being created or shown in galleries. I think I also read there, or elsewhere that for art that is anonymous or is a pseudo-author, there still was the burden of establishing first publication. So I am not quite comprehending the status right now, since I am getting these mixed signals. --Kiyoweap (talk) 17:36, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

On above (descr: "Trani Cathedral, detail of the mosaic, ascension of Alexander")scrutiny I mistook the dating and authorship. The source was actually:

Barral y Altet, Xavier (1989), “Les pavements romans de Saint-André-de-Rosans et de Ganabobie: réflexions sur le sens des images et sur le travvail des mosaïstes”, in Bulletin de la Société d'études des Hautes-Alpes^[1], pages 246.

It claims "domaine publique" so I tagged it with {{PD-France}}; this may mean it has to migrate to fr.wikipedia or something like that. --Kiyoweap (talk) 00:18, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

(descr: "Fig. 15: Otrante, nef centrale: Ascension d'Alexandre.")

On these files I added {{PD-old-100}} licensing. As per COM:PDART, since it applies to "old stained glass", by extension, I judge it must also apply for old mosaics. --Kiyoweap (talk) 12:51, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

For these files, I found the correct citation to be:

Barral y Altet, Xavier (1989), “Les pavements romans de Saint-André-de-Rosans et de Ganabobie: réflexions sur le sens des images et sur le travvail des mosaïstes”, in Bulletin de la Société d'études des Hautes-Alpes^[2], pages 246.

It claims "domaine publique" so I tagged it with {{PD-France}}, so if another bot tags it for deletion from this, it's fine if it gets deleted now that I've saved the citation info and description entries here. --Kiyoweap (talk) 00:25, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

In the future, please consider using CommonsHelper, a tool which automates the process of moving files over. Thank you,

Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 02:12, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

@Magog the Ogre: Thanks for the tip. I'm not in the habit of makings such moves from en to commons, and I wasn't aware of the availability of such a tool.

I believe the help I examined was the one I clicked to from the "candidate for moving on commons" tag.

Now that you remind me, maybe I need to remove that tag on the en page too, or will some bot do that?--Kiyoweap (talk) 05:06, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

No, you have to manually add the NowCommons tag. As patrolling administrator, I already deleted it on English Wikipedia. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 05:18, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

I did go back and notice it gone. Thanks for deleting it and the info it needs manual maintenace. --Kiyoweap (talk) 05:46, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
