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).

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.

- As to the Grabow pic, the work this is derivative from is available on Flicker pursuant to "Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 Generic" ... see http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidwatson/2581573971/ --Epeefleche (talk) 19:25, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- You need to read Commons:Licensing and the first sentence in the box at the top of Commons:Flickr files.
- Please respect my request to keep discussions where they started, as this makes conversations easier to follow. I am watching this page, so I will see responses made here. —LX (talk, contribs) 19:29, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Copyright violations
[edit]
Hello Epeefleche.
You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful. This is your last warning. The next time you upload a file that violates copyright, you will be blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions. |

- I don't understand. I thought that the license under Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 Generic was sufficient -- it seems to meet the standard of allowing it to be cropped and re-used for a non-commercial purpose.
- In fact, the material that you point me to above says explicitly:
- "The following well-known licenses are preferred for materials on Commons: Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike licenses"--Epeefleche (talk) 19:59, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- When you uploaded the files, you claimed that they were published under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike. They're not. They're under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial ShareAlike license. Media licensed under non-commercial only licenses also are not accepted at Commons, as stated (in those words) right at the top of Commons:Licensing, which, again, you need to read.
- Please do not make any further uploads until you have grasped the difference between Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike and Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial ShareAlike, and please note that it's a criminal offense to make fraudulent statements regarding the licensing of copyrighted works. —LX (talk, contribs) 20:07, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- Silly me. I read the actual terms of the license. As to non-commercial use, the point at issue and which use on Wikipedia would seem to comply with, it states: "You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or otherwise shall not be considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, provided there is no payment of any monetary compensation in connection with the exchange of copyrighted works."--Epeefleche (talk) 20:16, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons are indeed noncommercial projects by most definitions of the term. However, content with licenses restricted to noncommercial use is not allowed as a matter of policy, because content here, like text from Wikipedia, is supposed to be free to use for any purpose. —LX (talk, contribs) 20:35, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- Understood. So while Flickr and Wikipedia are both non-commercial, and anyone can see them on the net, Flickr is happy to rely on the license limiting users, and Wikipedia is extra careful and even though use on Wikipedia would not violate the license, it would violate Wikipedia extra-careful-policy. Hmmmm. --Epeefleche (talk) 20:40, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- Flickr is a commercial site, owned by Yahoo! Inc. It allows its users to share their photos under both free and non-free licenses (including "© All rights reserved"). They allow that because their goals are different from ours. The insistence on free licenses here is not a matter of being careful; it's a matter of creating and collecting content that is more useful than any other content around by virtue of being usable by anyone for any purpose. —LX (talk, contribs) 21:07, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- Well, if we were to put all the "non-commercial" Flickr photos on Wikipedia (and vice versa), we wouldn't have content that is more useful. We would would have (as to those photos) the same photos, with the same (no) restrictions. But Flickr would be better, because it would also have the photos that could be used by everyone other than commercial users. The effect of this approach is that great photos that are fine to use for non-commercial use cannot be seen by someone reading the article ... unless they do an independent Flickr search. That's not better in my book.--Epeefleche (talk) 22:01, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
