Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Assem Khidhr!

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.

An unfree Flickr license was found on File:Muhammad al-Mukhtar al-Shinqiti.jpg

---

A file that you uploaded to Wikimedia Commons from Flickr, File:Muhammad al-Mukhtar al-Shinqiti.jpg, was found available on Flickr by an administrator or reviewer under the license Noncommercial (), No derivative works (), or All Rights Reserved (), which isn't compatible with Wikimedia Commons, per the licensing policy. The file has been deleted. Commons:Flickr files/Appeal for license change has information about sending the Flickr user an appeal asking for the license to be changed. Only Flickr images tagged as (CC BY), (CC BY-SA), (CC0) and (PDM) are allowed on Wikimedia Commons. If the Flickr user has changed the license of the Flickr image, feel free to ask an administrator to restore the file, or start an undeletion request.

@Túrelio: I'm aware of the policies regarding copyrights on Wikimedia Commons. Hence, I have already contacted the copyright holder who gave me permission to re-use it. However, he didn't reply to my request to send an official e-mail as per Wikimedia policies. Is there anyway I can use his Flickr response as a proof of permission?

Hi, well, there are two possibilities: 1) what you did already; author/creator confirms a Commons-compliant license to OTRS; or 2) author/creator switches license on Flickr to a Commons-compliant license, such as CC-BY-SA or CC-BY; and notifies us. We let flickr-review script run, which records the license. Thereafter, the license on Flick can be changed back to a more restrictive one. However, author/creator needs to be aware that anybody can then use his image under this free license. --Túrelio (talk) 21:51, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining, @Túrelio: ! I'll contact him again then and emphasize on the debriefing I've conducted before.

You've received an imaginary Order of King Abdulaziz for your decent suggestion.
