Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, DrMedRenArtHistory!

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:Cellini Salt Cellar.jpg

A file that you uploaded to Wikimedia Commons from Flickr, File:Cellini Salt Cellar.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.

This is strange to me, because Steven Zucker, a scholar and art historian like myself (and runs Smarthistory.orG) posted the image and identified the image as "Attribution-NonCommerical-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)" as indicated on the image file: https://www.flickr.com/photos/profzucker/50374056337

I am trying to help my students navigate this properly and teach them along the way, so I am sorry that this remains unclear to me (and it is very confusing for students who are trying their best to navigate semi-legalese regarding copyright rules and laws)--I went out of my way to ensure the image was OK to use. I will ask the folks at Wikipedia Education to assist me on this, because I am confused as to why this image has been deleted. Thanks for alerting me to the problem.

Sir, NC licenses are unfortunately not allowed here on Commons, see Commons:Licensing. --Achim55 (talk) 17:58, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you -- the folks at WikiEdu have clarified things for me as well. DrMedRenArtHistory (talk) 18:05, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
