Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Larzatron!

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 tagging File:Jan Garden.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Jan Garden.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:Jan Garden.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Affected:

• File:Eugenie and the PM announce the phase out of single use plastic bags at Lyall Bay, Wellington.jpg

And also:

• File:Eugenie Sage MP.jpg
• File:Gareth Hughes MP and dog.jpg
• File:Gareth Hughes MP.jpg
• File:Jan Logie's bill on DV leave is passed into law.jpg
• File:Jan Garden.jpg

Apologies

I see that you have been sent a bunch of deletion notices. To my mind, it's entirely inappropriate to treat new users on Wikimedia Commons like that. What I would expect is for bureaucrats to ask questions and offer guidance before putting files up for deletion. I therefore would like to offer my apologies.

I am aware / can remember that this has happened before with files that came from the Green Party. Permissions that are appropriate for Wikimedia Commons were eventually provided and the files were kept. Can we work towards this once more?

Licensing is a tricky issue. Did you personally take the photos that are up for deletion? Or were they taken by somebody else on behalf of the Green Party? We can sort this out here (on this talk page) but I'll also send you an email to draw your attention to this. Schwede66 19:30, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

I see the uploader explained the situation here: Commons talk:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Larzatron. With that in mind, I wonder whether the above photos could be undeleted, as the user is (was) a Green Party staff member tasked with uploading those photos. Michal, could you have a look whether the licensing was otherwise ok or whether this could be rectified? Schwede66 19:55, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
