Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, StickerMug!

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.

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:David B Fithian, Clark University President.png. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

File:Paul Alivisatos University of Chicago President September 2021.png

Hi,

You recently uploaded File:Paul Alivisatos University of Chicago President September 2021.png to Wikimedia Commons under the pretense of it being a work of the University of Chicago Office of Communications. Since the University of Chicago is the copyright holder, we need to verify that you are authorized to upload it. This verification will occur using the Volunteer Response Team. An institutional email address from the University of Chicago Office of Communications will have to send an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. This email will have to say that the University of Chicago is authorizing the publication of the photograph under the specified license. See Commons:Email templates for the preferred form. If you plan to upload more photographs using this account and your employer agrees to it, you may want to say in the email that your employer is authorizing this account (StickerMug) in general to upload its copyrighted works and to publish them under a free license. This will allow you to upload other University of Chicago photos from this account without having to get email verification each time.

Alternatively, the University of Chicago may publish this photograph to its website (or another verifiable channel) with a statement that says it is made available under a free license. This does not require email verification.  Mysterymanblue  09:01, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

File tagging File:Paul Alivisatos University of Chicago President September 2021.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Paul Alivisatos University of Chicago President September 2021.png. 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.

 

Sorry, I know that this template is a bit alarming. The photograph will be deleted in seven days unless we can verify that it has been released under the stated license.  Mysterymanblue  09:11, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
