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). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump. |

File:Class 374 Under Test.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Hi Bellminsterboy, you have uploaded an image from Flickr which is not free and you forgot to provide a source. The source link (to the page with a description of an image including its license) is important as this allows us to verify that an uploaded image has been put under a free license. In this case I found this image under this link. Unfortunately, this photograph has not been put under a free license but under {{Cc-by-nc-nd-2.0}} which is not accepted at Commons per COM:L as it does not permit commercial usage and no derivatives. These are however essential freedoms we require for all uploads to Commons. Images from Flickr are only acceptable for us if they are tagged CC-BY or CC-BY-SA. See Commons:Flickr files for more information. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 06:49, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi Bellminsterboy, if you transfer images from Geograph to Commons, please follow then the reuse link at Geograph where you should look for Wikipedia Template for image page where you find a code snippet which is already prepared for Commons:
== {{int:filedesc}} == {{Information |Description={{en|1=Worcester Cathedral}} |Source=From [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3643569 geograph.org.uk] |Date=2013-09-04 |Author=[http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1837 Philip Halling] |Permission=Creative Commons Attribution Share-alike license 2.0 }} {{Location dec|52.186750|-2.214241|heading:292}} == {{int:license}} == {{geograph|3643569|Philip Halling}}
It is important that you do this as this makes sure that the correct license tag is used (this was not the case) and that this image will not be uploaded twice. (Note also that link at Geograph that allows you to check whether an image has already been uploaded to Commons or not.) I've fixed this for you. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 07:13, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
- I just note that there are older uploads from Geograph as well with similar problems, e.g. File:Geograph-3344811-by-Brian-Chadwick.jpg etc. from February. Could you please fix them following the instructions above? Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 07:19, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Rotherham Minster (geograph 4123626) vertical correction.jpg. 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 tagging File:Bridgwater church roof.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bridgwater church roof.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:Bridgwater church roof.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

File source is not properly indicated: File:Chewton Mendip Church Vertical Correction.jpg
[edit]This media may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Chewton Mendip Church Vertical Correction.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.
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! |
