Our first steps tour and our FAQ 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. You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing here and assume good faith for the intentions of others. This is a wiki—it is really easy. More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel irc:wikimedia-commons #wikimedia-commons (direct access). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at Commons talk:Licensing. |

Note
editM. Harrsch's flickr photos, which you uploaded here, cannot be placed on Commons because they have a "Non-Commercial" restriction on them like this: [1] If you want to keep them, you should ask Harrsch by flickr mail if she could change the image license to either 'Attribution Creative Commons' (cc by 2.0) or 'Attribution ShareAlike Creative Commons " (cc by sa 2.0) Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:08, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
- This is an image by Harrsch which can be placed on Commons: [2] Look at the license: Attribution ShareAlike Creative Commons Indeed, someone has already placed it on Commons here and it has passed flickr review: Image:Gold Pectoral Ornament Colombia Yotoco (Calima) 1st-7th century CE.jpg Cheers, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:16, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello Groupproject3,
the following content you uploaded is not free and therefore has been or will soon be deleted:
- Image:252441572 0d93d95e95.jpg
The Wikimedia Commons (this website) only hosts media files which can be used for any purpose, including:
- use in any work, regardless of content
- creation of derivative works
- commercial use
- free distribution
See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.
Please make sure that you only upload works you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions. --dave pape (talk) 02:05, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- The same is true for all your other uploads. Please read COM:L. --dave pape (talk) 02:10, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
