Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Patrick3004!

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.

BelgianEuro coins

1. A photographic reproduction of a 2014 coin is never {{PD-Art}} as you claimed. The coin is from 2014! The designer of the coin NOT died >70 years ago as you claim.

2. Belgian coins have a copyright on their design, see Commons:Currency

3. File:Verzamelset-Set de collection2.jpg is a photographic work of a copyrighted work. It neither is a reproduction of a 2D work - this means the photographer has a copyright - nor is the reproduced work out of copyright - the brochure has a copyright too and the creator not died >70 years ago. It never qualifies for Template:PD-Art as you again claimed.

The coins that you mention are uploaded localy to the French Wikipedia as part of Wikipedias unfree content under fair use.

Cette image de monnaie est soumise au droit d'auteur.

See fr:Catégorie:Image d'euro belge and the category structure fr:Catégorie:Monnaie en fair use. On Wikimedia Commons however such exeptions are not allowed, we only have free content here, no fair use of unfree content. The Exceptions of fr:Aide:Importer_un_fichier you mention quite explicitely says: Vous pouvez importer une image qui correspond à une de ces trois exceptions sur Wikipédia francophone.

Exceptions for the French Wikipedia not apply to Wikimedia Commons nor any other Wikipedia or Wikimedia project. --Martin H. (talk) 21:46, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
