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:Van Soest, Attack on the Medway.jpg

I think you wrong, Chartrek. The painting at Royal Museums Greenwich of Pieter Cornelisz van Soest is the one we are talking about. The BBC-painting you uploaded is one of the painter Peter van den Velde and is quite different. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 17:34, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Your uploads

Hi Chartrek, if you have a different file you have to upload as a different file, don't upload it as a new version of an existing file. I am not talking about File:Van Soest, Attack on the Medway.jpg where you thought it was the same painter, or File:Samuel Pepys.jpg where you thought for some reason that your version was better than the already uploaded image, but I am talking about File:Nlc phaseii southeast 001c.jpg. The images you uploaded are smaller and entirely different than the original. Use the function Upload file in the left column under Participate, instead. Thank you, Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 08:55, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

File:Michael Schumacher Benetton1.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here.

If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion.

File:Roy Thinnes 1971.JPG

Please stop reverting the file because the one you continue to revert to has a watermark on it which is plainly visible. We hope (talk) 18:07, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

If watermarking is strictly forbidden, that picture is eligible for speedy deletion. --- Chartrek (talk) 18:40, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

The watermarked photo was used to verify the photo's PD-pre-1978 status. The photo is in the public domain in the US. We hope (talk) 18:44, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Since the original upload is watermarked, I maintain that the picture is eligible for speedy deletion. --- Chartrek (talk) 18:48, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

The image is not a copyright violation, and is not elligible for speedy deletion. In future, please don't edit-war even if you think you're right. INeverCry 19:08, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
