Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Lillie-beth!

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:Downtown Oklahoma City and Oklahoma River at Sunset.jpg

File:Downtown Oklahoma City and Oklahoma River at Sunset.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.

"for editorial use only"

We only have en:free content on our projects. Thats content free to use by anyone anytime for every purpose. Restrictions such as "for editorial use only" are strictly prohibited here, please review our Commons:Project scope. --Martin H. (talk) 22:12, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, Martin H.! I will remove the permissions on two of the photos and repost. I am learning how to use this site, so if I used "talkback" wrong, too, let me know. Thanks again. ~ Lillie-Beth

Hi, Martin H. I would like to re-upload two of the photos that I posted yesterday with no "editorial use" restriction. I work for the company that owns the photos, and it is the will of my boss that we do this. However, I am having trouble doing so. What do I need to do? Thanks! ~ Lillie-Beth

The system does not allow for reupload of the same file. You can ask for undeletion at Commons:Undeletion requests. You will be asked to provide written permission (see Commons:Permission). This means a declaration of consent provided from the copyright holder (Commons:Email_templates#Declaration_of_consent_for_all_inquiries) will be send to and stored in the Commons:OTRS system. The declaration of consent should refer to the exact filename of your upload. The email template proposes the license Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) which is a contract between the copyright holder (licensor) and anyone who want to reuse the file (licensee) for whatever purpose. --Martin H.
