Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, StefanSchulzDe!

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.

Hello StefanSchulzDe, please note that Creative Commons licenses are non-revocable. Did you take the picture yourself? Blurpeace 04:30, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

The picture is taken by my wife and I cropped it to the given size. While I always ask her permissions for using her photographs, unfortunately, for this specific picture I forgot asking her about CC licensing. I'm sorry for that and for the rather clumpsy deletion request reason I gave. Thanks --StefanSchulzDe (talk) 08:38, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

I've deleted the image. Are you sure you can't convince her to license the image freely, preferably under a Creative Commons license? Thanks, Blurpeace 02:28, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I tried about licensing, but she's unpleased with the quality of this particular picture and does not want it to be published and associated with her name. Not sure, if this would be different with putting it completely to the Public Domain (i.e., no reference to the author?). --StefanSchulzDe (talk) 09:04, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

She could publish the image through your account anonymously and release it into the public domain. By going about it that way, she would not be associated with the image. Blurpeace 17:17, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

File tagging File:Winfrid Trenkler at Schallwelle 2009 by Werner Volmer.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Winfrid Trenkler at Schallwelle 2009 by Werner Volmer.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you.

Are you the photographer? If yes then link the name to your username but If you're not then we would need an email sent to OTRS (For the details see COM:OTRS) with the permission and license type (IE: PD, CC-BY or CC-BY-SA) from the copyright holder (which is not always the photographer if they are working for an media outlet or have been hired). Also one email can cover all the images as long as it is stated in the email. Bidgee (talk) 10:11, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

(Copy of my reply on my talk page) Nope, just a wait an see. I'll add the OTRS permission pending template. Though do you have the OTRS ID number? Just that I can add that onto the template so it makes it easier for the OTRS volunteer to find the email. Bidgee (talk) 02:33, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't have any OTRS number ... maybe my mail failed or was considered spam? --StefanSchulzDe (talk) 07:31, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Maybe, doesn't matter greatly but just makes it easier to find. I'll contact an OTRS volunteer to see if they can find it. Bidgee (talk) 07:41, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a million :D --StefanSchulzDe (talk) 17:17, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

I resent the permission file and now got a reply and an OTRS number: Ticket#2010012810046762. --StefanSchulzDe (talk) 20:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
