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).

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
[edit]In other languages (translate this)
|
---|
|
Thank you for uploading some images!
Did you know that Wikimedia Commons recommends the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format for certain types of images? Scalable Vector Graphics are designed to look appropriate at any scale, and SVG images are easier to modify and translate, helping Wikimedia to distribute knowledge to all of the world. A lot of modern programs support SVG export. If you encountered problems or have questions, don't hesitate to ask me, a member of the Graphic Lab, or the Graphics village pump. Uploading images in SVG format isn't mandatory, but it would help. (To avoid any misunderstandings, please don't just put raster images into an SVG container as embedded raster.) Thanks, and happy editing!

- @Norden1990: I have looked into this matter. This photo is from AFP and distributed trough Getty Images. Their license allows use on Wikipedia. I would like to point you to their page for clarification, where they state "To report a newsworthy event or illustrate a matter of general public interest -> "You're good to go!". Now that we have dug to the bottom of this, I will re-add this photo to the Wikipedia. If you have any counter-arguments, kindly present them here before editing. Amin (talk)

- @Elisfkc: Hi, Apologies. I am very new to this commons thing and I still suck at it. I appreciate your help, I will try to look better at the CC icons the next time. I also have a quetstion, besides Flickr, where do you personally look when you are looking for free images? Any websites I can bookmark? Thanks, Amin (talk) 03:51, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Amin: personally, I don't look too many other places. However, I'd suggest using Free Image Search Tool if you are looking to get an image for a specific article. Elisfkc (talk) 03:58, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Reminder: Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2016 is open!
[edit]You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2016 Picture of the Year contest.
Dear Amin,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2016 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eleventh edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2016) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category.
In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 2 will end on 20 April 2017, 23:59:59 UTC.
Thanks,
--Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 08:41, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:The Primal Wound by Nancy Verrier book cover.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). 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:The Primal Wound by Nancy Verrier book cover.png]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

- @Yann: Hi Yann, In my upload I added comments stating that I am new to this, and asked for help, since I do not know how to upload copyrighted art under Fair Use.
I'm saddened to see you went on and deleted it right away 😑. This is not a warm welcome to new contributors who need help and are just beginning. I will go to the WP Teahouse to see how I can improve my next upload. Amin (talk) 15:59, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Yann: Hi Yann, In my upload I added comments stating that I am new to this, and asked for help, since I do not know how to upload copyrighted art under Fair Use.
Wikimedia Commons does not accept fair use content.
We do this because Commons is a shared media repository. Downstream wikis have different policies based on local laws. Uses that are acceptable under US law, for example, may not be acceptable in many other countries with more restrictive rules. In addition, fair use is not compatible with our aim as a collection of freely distributable media files. Therefore, Commons cannot legally rely on fair use provisions. Non-free content that may be used with reference to fair use may be uploaded locally if your project allows this.

Yann (talk) 16:01, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Yann: Then how do you explain thousands of articles on Wikipedia do contain a book cover? I heard a small resolution JPG hosted on American servers is believed to fall under Fair Use. I would like to learn when it can, and when it cannot be allowed. Thanks Amin (talk) 16:06, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Fair use is not allowed on Commons. You have to upload the file on the English Wikipedia. Regards, Yann (talk) 16:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
