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. |

File:G7 2018 Charlevoix family photo.jpg 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.)

Flickr2Commons
editI have just come across a few images you have recently uploaded from Flickr. I would appreciate it if in the future, you used the Flickr2Commons tool. This tool allows images to be moved to Commons from Flickr without having to download the images to your own computer. It also brings in the largest resolution of the image, as well making sure to list the correct license and url, making it easy for the automated Flickr Review system. Also, it is fairly easy to categorize images with this tool. To use it, you just need to go to the url and authorize it (where it says "authorise first").--B dash (talk) 02:08, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- @B dash: Thanks for letting me know about this tool, I didn't know it existed – going to be very helpful for the future! Cheers. R64Q (talk) 21:03, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Getty Images Logo.svg
editHello, I came across File:Getty Images Logo.svg and I found out that you have originally uploaded the original version extracted from the official website, then reverted to the older version. May I know why? The first "g" does has a slightly different style compared to the one it has now. Cheers. –Wefk423 (talk) 17:30, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Wefk423: it's a good question, I think I had a reason for it when I first uploaded but can't remember it now. I reverted it back to my first revision, with the correct style of "g". QYYZ (talk) 16:38, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
Hey QYYZ. Rather than rename the file here on Commons, I have instead transferred the conflicting file on en.wiki, and transferred it here to Commons under a different name. Cheers. GMGtalk 15:14, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
Awesome, thanks! QYYZ (talk) 15:52, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
Suggestion SVG
editHi, I don’t know if you can but it would be interesting if you could create exactly same copy in SVG format for these files: File:Consumers Distributing logo.jpg, File:Distribution aux Consommateurs logo.jpg, File:Service Merchandise logo.png, File:Argos logo.png (this file should be created in SVG directly from Argos website), then replace them for SVG format in the appropriate articles.
Also, for the article of St-Hubert restaurant in English Wikipedia, there's not logo but a SVG file is available on the article in French Wikipedia that you could make a SVG copy.
Also for the article in English Wikipedia Shopping TVA (TV channel), a logo could be create in SVG format by making a copy of the logo from the article Shopping TVA in French Wikipedia.
I’m not able to do that, I can’t create SVG files or make copy in SVG, I don’t have the apps in my computer, I hope that you will do that. Thank you!--Jammillo (talk) 15:52, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can do, thanks for the suggestions. QYYZ (talk) 23:27, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Deleted content

File:DuckDuckGo logo no text.svg
- use in any work, regardless of content
- creation of derivative works
- commercial use
- free distribution
See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.
Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.Yours sincerely, --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 20:06, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Donald Trump's face in a mushroom cloud.jpg
editThis file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Donald Trump's face in a mushroom cloud.jpg, 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! |
