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).

Copyright violations
edit
Hello Sweetnownow.
You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful. This is your last warning. The next time you upload a file that violates copyright, you will be blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions. |

Wikimedia Commons does not accept derivative works of non-free works such as File:Michael Jackson.jpg. It only accepts free content, which is images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Reproductions of copyrighted works are also subject to the same copyright, and therefore this file must unfortunately be considered non-free. For more information, please read Commons:Derivative works and Commons:Freedom of panorama. You can ask questions about Commons policies in Commons:Help desk.
The file you added will soon be deleted. If you believe this file is not a derivative work of a non-free work, please explain why on the file's talk page.

File source is not properly indicated: File:Lady_Gaga_-_The_Monster_Ball_Tour.jpg
editThis media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Lady_Gaga_-_The_Monster_Ball_Tour.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Lady_Gaga_-_The_Monster_Ball_Tour.jpg]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 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! |

File:Cameron_Diaz_shilling_Softbank.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. |

For images, you may find it useful to read Commons:Image casebook.

Have you read the instructions in Commons:Flickr before uploading this? This file isnt freely licensed by the copyright holder on Flickr, so you cant upload it here with the wrong claim that it was licensed under {{Cc-by-sa-2.0}} - that claim is simply wrong. --Martin H. (talk) 03:39, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
Critically evaluate Flickr licenses
|
File:Cheryl carefully weaving her way through downtown Seattle.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. You may have preserved the information shown on Flickr correctly when transferring the image here, but the Flickr uploader is not the copyright holder of this image. Either the image was created by someone else, or it is a derivative of someone else's work. As stated in Commons:Licensing, only the copyright holder may issue a license, so the one shown on Flickr is invalid.
Always remember to critically evaluate Flickr licenses. Photostreams with professional-looking photographs, album covers, posters, and images in a wide range of styles or quality taken by many different cameras often indicate that the Flickr uploader either does not understand or does not care about copyright matters. See Commons:Questionable Flickr images for a list of known bad Flickr users.

This file is indeed freely licensed on Flickr, but the flickr user is not the sole creator of it, he is just creating montages of non-free imagery and so he creates derivative works of other peoples work and cant license it freely. --Martin H. (talk) 03:41, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

And again, although that photographer on flickr created many, many good photographs, this file is NOT his own work and not validly freely licensed. Please critically evaluate the licensing! A screenshot cant be freely licensed unless e.g. the production company of the movie is the operator of the flickr account. --Martin H. (talk) 03:59, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
