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.

Image without license

File:BallGround-Logo.jpg

---

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

File tagging File:BallGround-Logo.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:BallGround-Logo.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). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:BallGround-Logo.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

@JuTa: When I uploaded the image, I got a similar message on Commons about the copyright issue. I fixed that by supplying the proper template tag on the description saying it was public domain. If you visit the Ball Ground site that is mentioned there, (I believe it was cityofballground.com), you can find the image downloadable from their media site and the copyright info is there!!! Please do not delete the image without checking that first. I don't know what I can do to make the copyright on the Commons page any more clear than I already have. --TadgStirkland401 (talk) 19:09, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

I only find a All right reserved on https://cityofballground.com/city-council/ --JuTa 19:12, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

@JuTa: Did you look at their media page? --TadgStirkland401 (talk) 19:13, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Where it is? --JuTa 19:14, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

@JuTa: Check here Media Center at the bottom of the page to download the images. --TadgStirkland401 (talk) 19:16, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

There is a link to download it. Nothing written about replublishing. So: You are allowed to download it and store it on your local computer, but not to publish it on other websites or i.e. print it on T-shirts and sell them, which is required to be kept on commons. --JuTa 19:19, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

@JuTa: That's crap. Is there a way I can fix that without asking the website admin to change his site himself? He is not very good at updating anything... I need a good fix for this. If they make it downloadable, they MUST expect people will use it in a fair use way. --TadgStirkland401 (talk) 19:25, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Fair use is not accepted on commons - see Commons:Fair use. You could ask him to send an email to the commons support team and release the image under a free license - see Commons:OTRS and Commons:Email templates. If he agrees you should replace the problem tag with {{subst:OP}} to indicate that such a release is "underway". regards. --JuTa 19:40, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Or you reupload the file on en: where fair use is accepted. --JuTa 19:41, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

@JuTa: Thanks for your consideration, but again, that's more crap. I was told on EN that they prefer all images be uploaded to Commons. Now you're telling me, they have easier rules. You guys are not working together and it is making life difficult for those of us volunteering to help make both sites better. That's more crap! --TadgStirkland401 (talk) 20:10, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

@JuTa: Just delete it. I'm not going to any more effort than I already have. This is just crap!!! --TadgStirkland401 (talk) 20:11, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
