Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Juliannechat!

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.

hi, love the work you're doing with the biography. however, i would caution you, that photo copyright is with the photographer, not necessarily with photo subject. [1] your photo may be challenged on this basis. there is a permission process at commons:otrs. i would suggest that you start this, and keep the photo on your harddrive or at flickr, in case it gets deleted.

Thank you Slowking4 for the help with this! I have asked to speak with Star Black about this and will either ask them to execute the license OR ask the author to send me a photo that can be used. Again, thank you! 98.246.106.61 01:01, 11 December 2012 (UTC)juliannechat (edited again because I wasn't logged in when I replied) Juliannechat (talk) 01:06, 11 December 2012 (UTC) juliannechat

hi, i see where you indicated it was licensed CC-BY-SA on wikipedia. however, they like you to put a license template in commons on the photo (not the normal credit in the caption). see Commons:Licensing {{cc-by-sa}}. but you will need to confirm by email using the otrs boilerplate here Commons:OTRS Slowking4⇔ †@1₭ 03:57, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

thank you Slowking4, I'll take the photo out again until this gets sorted. Juliannechat (talk) 04:02, 15 February 2013 (UTC)juliannechat
