Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Dyan at SAC!

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.

Hello: This photo was never in copyright violation - when it was added, the proper copyright information had been provided. Can someone please advise as to why the photo was removed? As author, I did not receive any notice or explanation about why it was removed and welcome the opportunity to provide the necessary information to use the photo moving forward. Thank you!

Dyan, I thought all was explained at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Steven R DiSalvo President Saint-Anselm College.jpg, but to recap: you should read com:OTRS and ask the copyright holder (photographer or collage) to send permission to use that photo to OTRS. You can find example of permission at com:OTRS. Let me know if you have any questions. --Jarekt (talk) 12:31, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jarekt, I was also instructed to send proof to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, which I've done. Best, 184.75.195.194 12:43, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. Look for my reply from OTRS. --Jarekt (talk) 14:18, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! Please look for email directly from the author, who will select the copyright license. Best, Dyan at SAC (talk) 19:03, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
