Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Kwabran!

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 tagging File:Ian Owulakwao Greenstreet.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Ian Owulakwao Greenstreet.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Ian Owulakwao Greenstreet.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

 

I dream of horses (talk) 19:16, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi I dream of horses, Thanks for your concerns about this photo but I am a little bit confused because I am the owner of this photo and I uploaded it myself so I don't see why this should be nominated for deletion.Kwabran (talk) 19:23, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

@Kwabran: It isn't being deleted immediately; you just have to contact a mailing list to verify that you are, in fact, the person who owns the copyright. We're being cautious in regards to preventing impersonation, lawsuits, etc. --I dream of horses (talk) 19:26, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

@I dream of horses: You want me to upload an OTRS for an image i took and uploaded myself? I understand your caution but what is your basis for tagging my work?--Kwabran (talk) 15:59, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm helping the Wikimedia Foundation avoid a lawsuit while giving you an avenue to prove it's your work via OTRS. If you decide that's trivial and spend time arguing about how unfair this is, the image will get deleted. --I dream of horses (talk) 19:42, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:ABETIFI-01.svg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:ABETIFI-01.svg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

File:Esports-Africa-News-Logo Original.png

File:Esports-Africa-News-Logo Original.png is considered to fulfill the criteria for speedy deletion and has been marked on its page. The following reason has been specified: This file is a copyright violation because this media is a logo or a derivative work thereof, which are always presumed to be copyrighted unless they are too simple to be copyrightable. Unless licensed under a free license, copyrighted logos are not accepted on Wikimedia Commons. Recreating a logo yourself does not give you the right to license it under a free license, and fair use claims are not allowed on Wikimedia Commons. If you believe the content does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, you may replace the speedy deletion tag with a regular deletion request (if the content has not been deleted) or request undeletion (if the content has already been deleted). All your uploads, including deleted ones, are listed in your upload log. If you need help, please read our frequently asked questions or visit the help desk. Please do not remove this message from your talk page. You may set up archiving instead. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

File:Right to a Healthy Environment GIF.gif

It would be my pleasure if you add in the File:Right to a Healthy Environment GIF.gif the text and in my native language, greek. The greek translation of "Right to a Healthy Environment" is "Δικαίωμα σε ένα Υγιές Περιβάλλον". Παρακολουθητής (talk) 15:57, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

I shall get on it and share with you. Kwabran (talk) 17:34, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
