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. |

Photographs
editHi Melanostomias! Thanks for your contributions. From your Wikipedia profile I do not doubt your copyright of the majority of images you've posted, but note that if they have been previously published without a free license, (e.g. in non-open-access journals), Commons needs proof of consent, which is demonstrated by sending a declaration of consent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org as, described at Commons:OTRS. Note however that in the case of File:Fig. 3.Singer & Page.jpg, where one of the images is credited to "Steve Grant", he would be the copyright holder of that particular photograph, and his permission would be needed as well. Furthermore, unless you yourself created File:Idigbio og.png, you would need to include official permission from idigbio that the image may be freely used. Cheers, Animalparty (talk) 17:52, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
I will do this ASAP. I do not mean for the images to be CC for the ones credited to Steve Grant. The rest howver are CC because I wish for them to be used for education, outreach and shared! Melanostomias

File:Idigbio og.png has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
