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. |

Hi Benedictine, this photo appears to be something downloaded from the internet, and that is owned by Corredor99 / MediaPunch Inc. If you have a reason to think it's been released under a free license, please explain; otherwise, it must be deleted as a copyright violation. -Pete F (talk) 15:32, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Please stop...
editPlease stop uploading images that you found on the internet. Either be sure that the image is licensed with an approved free license, or stick to uploading pictures that you photographed yourself. --Dschwen (talk) 16:45, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Attention double use
editHello!
You use this here {{cc-by-2.0}} {{flickrreview}} twice. This is superfluous and incorrect. Please use it one time. See here [2]. --High Contrast (talk) 18:49, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful. This is your last warning. The next time you upload a file that violates copyright, you will be blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions. |
