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. 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. |

- Hi. I've not deleted the pictures; an Administrator has. You may check Government Accountability Institute site (which is Copyright © 2018 | All Rights Reserved) and its terms of use stating that "the Sites and all content and other materials on the Sites, including, without limitation, GAI’s logo, and all designs, text, graphics, pictures, information, data, software, tools, widgets, sound files, other files and the selection and arrangement thereof (collectively, the “Site Materials”) are the proprietary property of GAI or its licensors or users and are protected by U.S. and international copyright laws." Kind regards, --Patrick Rogel (talk) 14:30, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hi again. Commons policy requires that the actual copyright holder, which is almost always the photographer, must send a free license directly using OTRS. So we need permission from Nicole Myhre, being noted that the procedure may take a few weeks. In the meantime you can make an undeletion request too by providing the link to Peter Schweizer webpage. Yours, --Patrick Rogel (talk) 21:57, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
