Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Ooh!

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.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Orrling!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

UrLunkwill (talk) 10:06, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Please stop abusing user's honest work. I was now tagged "mis-licensed" regarding my recent upload, just because I have no other way but honesty and follow all superior legal guidelines thus have picked the "from somewhere else"-choice, following it by detailing all I had to demonstrate my full authorization.

Please take your tag back, as it is wrongly put. Please consider other steps such as READING THE GIVEN NOTES IN THE FILE, directing me how to correct-tag it, and otherwise manners of using your 'authority' within this collaborative, voluntary, project in which I'm a loyal member.

I'll be so sad if regardless of all my true efforts in attaining the picture [Image:Korzits-in-spain.jpg] and its permittives it will be deleted, and the very same applies to Image:Plastico.

Help, Don't Delete. /Ooh (talk) 10:22, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

You wrote: Author of the file is Korzits' friend

No no no, wrong! I wrote: Author = (photographer) Korzits' friend, OWNER AND RIGHTS' HOLDER = KORZITS HERSELF Ooh (talk) 11:07, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not a lawyer but as far as I know copyright holder is the one who stood behind the camera and pressed the button. --UrLunkwill (talk) 11:20, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Not true in this case! All rights are Ms. Korzits', who stood at the OTHER side of the camera than the one you have meant! :-) /Ooh (talk) 11:28, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

and he/she surrenders all rights for this image for any use except for commercial. That's not acceptable at Commons. The author must give a free license. This includes commercial use. See Commons:Licensing. In the license tag you wrote that you are the copyright holder. That's not true.

The copyright holder has to send an email to permissions-commons-de@wikimedia.org. You can use the template. If you have a permission by email you have to send this email.

And last but not least: I won't delete the image. This will be done by an admin after seven days. If you give the needed permission after deletion it's no problem. The image will be restored. --UrLunkwill (talk) 10:40, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. But please, try to understand: it's a world-level sportswoman busy practicing and competing... She (or her mother with whom I corresponded and who holds the permission for the image and has surrenderred it to us Wikipedians) will not bother to intervene in whatsoever wiki inner-mess, this is really infeasible.... This is exactly why I had priorly asked Ms. Korzits to MAIL ME her consent, which she has enclosed along with the picture. Will it do, if I (for example) bring here or elsewhere that hebrew-written mail? Or what other way can you allow that the picture be prooflicensed? /Ooh (talk) 11:17, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if a hebrew email is good enough, but I think so. You can try. I am not envolved in this procedure. I'm a normal user without special rights. You can also read Commons:OTRS about the procedure. I searched a bit and found that User:Avraham is an admin, a member of the OTRS team and speaks Hebrew. So I would try to contact him. --UrLunkwill (talk) 11:36, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

You're very helpful tanks! Ooh (talk) 11:40, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I gave you the wrong (the German) email address. The correct addresse is permissions-commons@wikimedia.org.

I dont't want the image to be deleted. I believe you that you have the permission. But this must be tracked in the OTRS system. --UrLunkwill (talk) 14:07, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I trust you too. No worry. I wouldn't any way mail but to the regular permission-mailbox as I have done already twice yesterday with those two pics above us (no reply yet). I just want my uploads to stay intact as at the end of the day I do this whole work for millions of readers and not solely for myself.. :) We need to be more trustful with one another, also when it concerns files one explicitly articulates he has the right to surrender them for the sake of Wikipedia. /Ooh (talk) 14:40, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:

• Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
• State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
• If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
• Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
• Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Thank you.

Hi dear bot, please delete the above stated image, as it was replaced by another, better-cropped (this one). Thanks! /Orrling (talk) 03:24, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Moved from User talk:Saibo Hi, Thanks for helping bettering my upploads! I understand you have used the original big image (that one I had asked to delete) as source for the newer one. Ok. But, it's a shame the left strap is missing now. The reason why I originally would ask to delete the first big one is the ugly traffic pole along the left side; then I cropped it as a screenshot which led to a low resolution image... The point is that when you recropped, you omitted not only the dark border but a "pure" part of the crossroad too. Could I ask you to redo it plz, now without taking off that little part?... :) (See my low-res version as "limit model") Thanks a lot. /Orrling (talk) 03:48, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

(moved from my talk to keep this together)

You did intentionally include the left "strap" / grey thing / pole? I will fix it if you want. I thought it looks ugly and therefore did not include it. ;) You want it to be included? Really? Then I will redo it - no problem. Just reply here. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 16:29, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Hehe... no, no. I was misunderstood, The ugly grey pole SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF, as you did - BUT you SLIGHTLY "overcropped" it the way that even a grey-free part of the crossroad was now cut away, to which I (personally) am sensitive.. as I think that little piece features a bit of the other side of the separation line in the middle of the road. --- Again - you can safely cut off the major part of the ugly pole and still leave-in the piece of the junction that I refer to. See my low-resolution version so you get the crop-limits. (If I had photoshop I would have cropped it myself) Thanks a lot - Cheerz, /Orrling (talk) 16:41, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Redone using GIMP (not the unfree photoshop ;-) ). Better now? Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 00:07, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Hehe... This is so very much better now for me. Thank you! :-)) Cheerz /Orrling (talk) 01:00, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

P.S. looks like you may now delete the original (the one in the title).... /Orrling (talk) 01:01, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

No disk space is recovered by deleting. Maybe someone likes grey things on the left to show how ugly crossroads can look like. ;-) I would like to leave it as is. Both images are liked with each other. Maybe we have a better "version management system" in the future (to kind of hide the old versions from categories). Well, of course we could just uncategorize the original but as of now this is not usual. The "problem" with several versions occurs with all derivative works / improved versions if not uploaded as a new version (which should be avoided).

I really recommend GIMP. :-) If you need help in it - feel free to ask. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 02:30, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Great, thanks a lot. ...And.... I WOULD uncategorize the original :) /Orrling (talk) 11:00, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Okay, okay: done, do not want to see you suffering from this bad image.  ;-) Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 01:28, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Creative Rights

Hi. If you are knowledgible of rights issues, would you please carefully check my two recent uploads: this and this, and inform me if everything is correct with that license-thing and if it's alright to use these two scans on Wikipedia, given that in both cases the person showing in the images has yielded all rights of use to us on Wiki. Thank you, /Orrling (talk) 03:03, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

What's required is authorization from the person who took the photographs, not the person depicted. In Israel, currently photos taken in 1960 or earlier have expired copyright. Stifle (talk) 12:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

This seems to have been a cross posting (User_talk:Saibo#Creative_Rights) - Orrling, please do not ask the same at several places. That is wasting time. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 16:07, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

To keep the discussion in one place: moved from my talk to here:

Thank you, /Orrling (talk) 03:03, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Orrling, thanks for asking!

@File:Eban and Spiro.jpg: the image is way too young to be public domain due to copyright expiration (the license tag you have added currently). We need written (e-mail/scanned printout) permission (see COM:OTRS) from the photographer (and from the persons shown - but written form is not needed).

@File:Gideon Spiro 02.jpg: written permission from Zohar Dori needed. In addition you should assert that Spiro does agree to publication (just write it in the file's description to make it perfect. In general files should only be uploaded with agreement from the depicted persons so this is usually assumed if there is nothing contrary to it). Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 20:38, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks very much. The one and only person I have available for all these matters is mr Spiro himself, depicted in both images; no prospect as far as I'm concerned to find and contact the photographers.. It's sad because Spiro told me "I yield all rights of use to you over these pictures" and "They are all free", and I knew just that would never be enough. Cheerz /Orrling (talk) 23:46, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, if he, Spiro, asserts (trustworthy) that he hold all copyrights on these images it is (probably) okay, too. To be honest, I doubt he does. But if, he should please send an email using the template COM:OTRS#Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 00:27, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

This message was added automatically by Nikbot, if you need some help about it please read the text above again and follow the links in it, if you still need help ask at the → Commons:Help desk in any language you like to use. --Nikbot 17:55, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Be sure to add a license (seems you missed to choose one during upload process). ;-) Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 18:12, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh shame on my head. It is quite strange - how would the upload interface let one complete an upload process leaving the licence field undone? I thought that was impossible. Plz see if it's correct now. Thanx, /Orrling (talk)

Didn't it show a warning? Well - that is the old form. ;) That is the good thing about it. We are getting many wrong "own work" claims with a creative commons license due to the uplaod wizard because you only need to click next, next, next.

Now it is right. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 22:57, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
