Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Tom-spring!
Our first steps tour and our FAQ 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. You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing here and assume good faith for the intentions of others. This is a wiki—it is really easy. More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (direct access). You can also contact an administrator (find an active one) on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at Commons talk:Licensing. |

Tip: Categorizing images
edit
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 06:35, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Template:PD-Japan-exemptで投稿された旗について
editこんにちは、Knua です。地方自治体の旗の著作権ですが、過去のja:Wikipedia:井戸端/subj/都道府県旗のアップロードやCommons:井戸端/過去ログ3#都道府県旗及び都道府県章のアップロードは問題ないかの議論により、日本国著作権法第十三条を理由としたPD-Japan-exemptは不可能とされました。
Tom-spring様が投稿された画像のうち、著作権保護期間内のものはPDにはできません。ただし、簡単な図案は著作権の対象としないとする考えもありますので、投稿者の責任においてTemplate:PD-ineligibleにすることは可能です。なお、制定後50年経過をした旗は著作権切れとしてTemplate:PD-Japan-organizationへの変更をおねがいします(私も確認します)。一定の時間の後、対処されなかったものはこちらで削除依頼に出させていただきます。ご協力よろしくお願いします。--Knua (talk) 16:59, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Flag of Nanao, Ishikawa.gif
editThis media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Flag of Nanao, Ishikawa.gif. 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. |
