They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy. You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing here and assume good faith for the intentions of others. This is a wiki - it is really easy. More information is available at the Community Portal. You may ask questions at the Help desk, Village Pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons. You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at Commons talk:Licensing. |

Re: Use of logo edit
Yes. Logos are allowed on Wikipedia under the fair use clause with the {{logo}} tag. Commons does not allow fair use or otherwise unfree media. We only take free here. You can reupload the logo at Wikipedia for use there. Thanks for understanding. MECU≈talk 13:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Pay attention to copyright | Image:Idahopotatoes.gif has been marked as a copyright violation. The Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content, that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You can ask questions about Commons policies in Commons:Help desk.
The file you added will soon be deleted. If you believe this image is not a copyright violation, please explain why on the image description page.

Although it's on the USDA website, it's not free and wasn't created by them. MECU≈talk 15:09, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- The image licensing and source need to be correct from the get go. If it is a clear copyright violation it can be immediately deleted. If you need help, you should ask prior to uploading. There is no way this image could have remained on Commons under any correct license. MECU≈talk 17:32, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your excellent suggestion, I added a Category:Feral horses and a sub-category for each continent; I found some categories, artiicles and pictures for any of them. I was in a hurry.... I hope you could seacrh for more pictures and categorize them too! --Alex_brollo Talk|Contrib 16:46, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Cowboys-id-us.png. 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:Cowboys-id-us.png]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |
