Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Robertlo9!

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:David K Williams Chief Executive Officer of Fishbowl.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution.

I just noticed that you deleted a photo I added to the Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:David_K_Williams_Chief_Executive_Officer_of_Fishbowl.jpg. Thank you for doing your best to keep Wikipedia free of improperly used copyrighted material, but in this case you erred on the side of caution. I assure you this photo is not the property of any corporation or institution, and it's simply one that was taken via personal camera. I'm not sure how to prove this because by its nature it is difficult to prove that something whose ownership is not established anywhere online or in print truly came from the source I say it came from. How can I prove that this photo being included on Wikipedia is not in violation of anyone's copyright? Thank you for your help with this. I'm still learning Wikipedia's nuances, so I appreciate any insights you can give me. Robertlo9 (talk) 20:00, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Robertlo. I did not delete the file, I nominated the file for deletion. We can't be sure about own work claim for small files with no EXIF -like this one. So, admins can delete these files according to this policy. You can make a contact with User:INeverCry for better and more information. Have a nice day...--Rapsar (talk) 21:33, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

How do I include an EXIF with a file? Robertlo9 (talk) 14:51, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

As far as I know, it is included automaticly to files. If you really the original creator of the file, you can make a contact with INeverCry.--Rapsar (talk) 16:56, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
