First steps tutorial

Our first steps tour and our FAQ 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. 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.

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 (direct access). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at Commons talk:Licensing.

Goodies, tips and tricks
  • Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities.
  • All your uploads are stored in your personal gallery
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~
  • Use the CommonSense tool to find good categories for your files (then other people can find them too!)
  • To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:Image:Foo.jpg]], which produces: Image:Foo.jpg
  • If you're copying files from another project, be sure to use the CommonsHelper
Made a mistake?
  • Did you want to rename or move a file? Simply upload the file again and mark the old one like this: {{bad name|correct name}}
  • For more information read the full deletion guidelines

Hello, Arosio Stefano!
 
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

  • The game console image rights is owned by the company I believe. Its not copyright free. --Leoboudv (talk) 20:11, 17 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • The company that created the console owns the rights to the packaging of the box console. You focused on the image of the box packaging that the console comes in and not the console device itself. That makes it a derivative image and copyrighted by the company. If you took a photo of the console then it would be OK since it would be functional...like a car or an Apple device like this image below:

You might/should also comment at this discussion. --Túrelio (talk) 20:46, 18 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

The quality of the photo is low, but I added it because it can be the only one chance to have one photo of this rare console.
If you follow the two photo links below, you can understand that the deleted photo is not the packaging of the box console but is the console device itself. The strange (colorful) slim and wide real console (in the deleted photo) is placed vertically laid against the wall. There is not a box in the deleted photo (In the first link you can see that the packaging is grey).
Excuse my poor english.

Hi there,

Thank you for providing the additional information for my Prinztronic console uploads- it was very informative (I didn't realise that the console was basically "stupid" and most of the important stuff was in the cart!)

However, if you don't mind, I'll rewrite your changes slightly. Not for technical reasons, but because I'm uncomfortable with the way it puts words in my mouth, i.e. it makes it look like I was the one that said all that stuff.

Once again, thanks for the contribution. All the best! Multicherry (talk) 22:56, 16 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Prinztronic cartridge edit

Hi,

I just logged in under this account for the first time in almost a year(!), so I only recently saw your message on my talk page:-

I would like to let you know that I have created this page (it:Serie PC-50x) that use your photo. May be you can also upload the photo of your cartrige?

Unfortunately, I do not have any photos of the cartridge. The cartridge label is in quite bad condition, so would probably need to be Photoshopped in from elsewhere. If I have time, I'll look into finding the cartridge and photographing it at some point. All the best. Multicherry (talk) 19:45, 11 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have now uploaded some images you may find of interest:-
As I mentioned before, the cartridge label is in bad condition... but it still works. :-) All the best, Multicherry (talk) 23:59, 18 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Sì ho visto che stanno facendo l'ennesima crociata. Comunque sì la wiki italiana è più permissiva su alcune immagini (trovo la cosa abbastanza incoerente nel complesso quindi non ho un'opinione strutturata in merito). Per capire meglio il da farsi puoi scrivere in it:Discussioni_Wikipedia:Copyright_immagini chiedendo un parere. Linka la discussione da Commons:bar italiano e trattandosi di prodotti anche da it:Discussioni_progetto:Design e it:Discussioni_progetto:Economia nel caso non intervenga nessuno puoi pingare dopo anche i sysop it-N di commons (ma dovrebbero vederla).

Thanks for uploading File:AEG MIGNON typewriter Model 4.jpg. 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.

The Video game Barnstar

When I set out to list all the consoles from the first generation, I knew this wasn't going to be an easy task, there's just so many. But the hardest step is to start, after that, more people can help, and accomplish what one never could do alone. And you've been helping out tremendously, all those photos you've been finding, and most importantly, the Wikidata pages.

I like to think I can do some stuff with formatting on Wikipedia, but Wikidata pages are just out of my reach, I have no idea how to work them. But you've been steadily creating them, and look at how much you've done to help, I salute you and thank you for all you've done to preserve this.

I myself have been extremely busy, but once I have a free day, I'll embark on another huge endeavor, a list of all the electronic games. While I had a vague idea as to how many 1st Gen consoles were there, these handhelds are a black hole of which I can't get a number from. Hope to see you in the future!

Thanks for uploading File:Olivetti Logos 41 PD.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).

Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you.

We need your feedback! edit

Hello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!

I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.

We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.

Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.

Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.

Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Wiki Science Competition 2021 has started edit

 
Logo for Wiki Science Competition

Dear uploader of European Science Photo Competition 2015 and Wiki Science Competition 2017 and Wiki Science Competition 2019, we would like to remind you that Wiki Science Competition 2021 has started in the whole world. It is now completed in Russia (active in May), but it's still open in almost all the other countries.

If you want to take part in WSC2021, please consult this page. Only some national categories are associated to competitions with local prizes.

If you are an expert user, we remind you that images uploaded within the deadline can be included in any case in their national category even if not uploaded with the main interface.

Please keep in mind that there is a new category this year, that is "astronomy".

If you already took part in a country that has completed its upload phase, please consider improving the description in English of your files (click on the edit button), since such description is what the international jury will use to evaluate them. World finalists will be finalized after March 2020.

Sorry for bothering you and have a nice wiki.

Hi, Many of these files content may be in the public domain due to lack of copyright notice. Anything from USA before 1989 needs a copyright notice. So it could help if you add the date of these games where it is missing. Yann (talk) 09:43, 2 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category edit

When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:E&P Electronic TV Sport Games EP800. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion). Jmabel ! talk 21:09, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
