Tip: Categorizing images
edit
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.BotMultichillT 05:46, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Bonjour,
Une simple autorisation d'utilisation est loin d'être suffisante pour placer une image sur wikimedia commons. Il est nécessaire que le propriétaire des droits sur le logo place son image sous une licence libre (Commons:À propos des licences).
Cordialement, --CHristoPHE 09:32, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
- Bonjour,
- Je vous remercie pour votre message. Cependant je ne vois pas où est le problème puisque le détenteur du droit d'auteur sur l'image m'a accordé son autorisation pour utiliser le logo de Canal Académie sur Wikipédia et Wikimédia. Ce détenteur est la directrice de la webradio, madame Hélène Renard, qui me connaît très bien.
- Cette personne ayant une charge de travail énorme, vous comprendrez que je ne peux pas passer mon temps à lui demander tout un tas de démarches pour satisfaire Wikimédia.
- Le droit d'auteur photographique est bien compliqué en France ! C'est un peu désolant et découragant ! J'ai l'autorisation intégrale et inconditionnelle de la directrice et ensuite on vient de reprocher que je viole un droit d'auteur, c'est un comble !
Bien cordialement. David-commons (talk) 21:42, 28 October 2009 (UTC).
- Bonjour,
- Le droit d'auteur est bien compliqué en France et ailleurs (d'ailleurs Wikimedia Commons est sous législation américaine). Quand vous placez une image sous une des licences libres acceptées par Commons (ce que seul l'auteur ou l'ayant-droit de l'image peut faire), vous permettez à quiconque de pouvoir la récupérer, l'utiliser, y compris pour un usage commercial, et la modifier. Ce n'est donc pas un geste insignifiant. Comprenez donc que par souci du respect du droit d'auteur on ne peut se contenter de votre déclaration pour accepter la mise sous licence libre d'un logo. Pour ma part je n'ai ni la possibilté ni l'envie de vérifier votre identité et vos dires. La solution consiste pour la directrice de la webradio (si c'est bien elle qui détient les droits sur le logo) d'envoyer un email de consentement à permissions-commons-fr@wikimedia.org . Un exemple d'email type : Commons:Messages type#Déclaration de consentement. Des explication plus détaillées : Commons:OTRS/fr.
- Cordialement, --CHristoPHE 10:39, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- Bonsoir, je vous remercie pour vos informations et pour la solution que vous me proposez. Je vais tâcher d'informer la directrice de la webradio, mais je ne sais pas du tout quand cela sera possible.
- Lorsque je dépose des visuels sur les serveurs de Wikimedia, pouvez-vous me dire quelle licence je dois choisir si je ne souhaite pas qu'il en soit fait un usage commercial ?
- Bien cordialement. David-commons (talk) 01:10, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- Là est bien le problème : toutes les licences acceptées par Commons doivent permettent un usage commercial. A ce sujet, voir Commons:À propos des licences. --CHristoPHE 19:00, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
