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. 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. |

Copyright status: File:Test.svg edit
This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Test.svg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

- See the description: "Not a free file. Test area only! This is just a test file and any license does not apply here." --Pasgi (talk) 21:20, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
- I am sorry ALL files on Commons have to have a license. I am not aware of exception for test pages. Also When I search for new uploads without a license, all I do is verify if there is a license or not. I do not study the page to figure out why. May be you should pick a license like {{CC-zero}}, add it and ask testers to only upload if the license is OK with them. --Jarekt (talk) 02:59, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
- I am not the author of this file, so I am not able to decide which licence it should have. Maybe there should be a testfile for each basic licence. Kind regards--Pasgi (talk) 09:22, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
