Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Sofffie7!

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.

Comment

I don't remember the image right now but it was a poster and Commons cannot accept it because it would be copyrighted...by the person who made the image. It does not matter if someone took an image of the poster and licensed the image freely in his/her flickr account. Its still not free for Common's because the original creator of the poster holds the copyright over the poster. Did he/she license his work freely? No one knows and Commons cannot risk a lawsuit.

•  Comment: Only Wikipedia can accept copyrighted non free images as in this Case with a non-free fair use rationale. You should upload the image at Wikipedia by clicking 'upload file' I believe. Today I never upload non-free image files at wikipedia because once someone removes your photo from a wikipedia article, it will be deleted in 7 days. PS: If someone thinks your non-free image is not important to a wikipedia article and files a deletion request, it might also be deleted in 7 days at wikipedia. Just note, Commons cannot host images of modern copyrighted posters or paintings. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 04:48, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
