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.

releasing photos

Hi, sorry about the license confusion.

you can also make use of your flickr account https://www.flickr.com/photos/46576138@N08 - it has the license flexibility you want. the Smithsonian institution has selected historic images to change the license to "no known copyright" i.e. File:Claudine Brown.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/smithsonian , which would make them suitable for commons also. -- Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge 12:15, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

the fear of "what about the t-shirt?" is often asked, but rarely seen. and it was a problem before the internet Butler's Mug in a Chamber Pot? on balance, institutions like the Smithsonian find that the increased traffic, visibility, and goodwill outweigh the risk of content misuse. much scholarhsip here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM -- Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge 01:55, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
