If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

Hello, Ham II!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Courtauld Silver

Hey, please be careful with your categories! File:Teekanne Courtauld.jpg and File:Kaffeekanne Courtauld.jpg were made by people called Courtauld, they're not in the Courtauld museum! --Gnom (talk) 17:52, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

They are both captioned "Somerset House Museum". There isn't a museum with that exact name, but the en:Courtauld Institute of Art is in en:Somerset House. Trust me, I went to university there! No hard feelings, Ham (talk) 18:12, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Well then I think the pots are on display in Somerset house, in the part where I also saw a bunch of Impressionist paintings. --Gnom (talk) 20:46, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Sorry if I was discourteous with you before; that wasn't my intention. The museum in Somerset House with the Impressionists and the Courtauld silver is the Courtauld Institute of Art (or rather the gallery part of it; the university part is adjacent to it). I've adjusted the captions and restored the categories accordingly. Ham (talk) 19:55, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
Cool beans. --Gnom (talk) 10:51, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Epstein Madonna

Hi Ham,
is File:Epstein, Madonna and Child, Dean's Mews.jpg located in a really public space, so that FOP would apply. The sculpture is per se still copyrighted. --Túrelio (talk) 09:26, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

This photo shows the sculpture in its context; it's highly visible from Cavendish Square, London. Ham (talk) 09:36, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. In such cases you should add FOP as cat or as template, as the broad FOP provision in UK law may not apply in other countries (relevant for external re-users). --Túrelio (talk) 09:39, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for alerting me to that. I've added Template:FOP. Ham (talk) 09:46, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text.

File:Temple Bar Dragon.JPG

Hi. Could you please fill out the required missing description fields for this and any other images you've uploaded. In addition to placing the PD copyright tag, you must also make clear that you are the actual author by stating author:(your user name) and source:(own work). AFAIK, the upload record & tag is not sufficient, and such images can be subject to deletion as being missing essential information. It would also help if you also included the correct date (I somehow doubt the metadata date of midnight is correct!). Ultra7 (talk) 19:18, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

No no, that's totally fine, I didn't check in the internet, as the plate by sculpture doesn't say it's temporary. I've got some more photos missing on the list, I'll try to upload today. Cheers, Eluveitie (talk) 19:06, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Public art in London

Hi there, can you explain why you have orphaned and emptied Category:Public art in London instead of proposing deletion? Thanks, Themightyquill (talk) 07:42, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. It seemed redundant due to the existence of Category:Sculptures in London (on which I was doing a lot of work), and poorly populated in comparison with it. As regards proposing deletion, I'm afraid I forgot about the protocol on these matters – sorry. Ham (talk) 10:37, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Well, now we have a well populated Category:Public art in England without any art from London. That doesn't seem like a good situation. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:07, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth 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 (2013) 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. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thank you x 1,000,000 for categorizing many of my London photographs. I felt bad uploading so many pictures without more specific subcategories, but it was taking me forever to remember the specific locations and sites. Your work is a huge help to me, to Commons and to Wikimedia projects in general. Again, THANK YOU. --Another Believer (talk) 17:52, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

@Another Believer: Thanks; you're too kind! I find these categorisations to be quite easy work to do during snatches of down time; when I've a little more time to spare I'll address your points on en:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Public Art/London. Ham (talk) 22:05, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
No problem and no rush (it is a long list on that talk page, so take your time). Just trying to get the list of sculptures and monuments I saw during my trip out of my head and onto the screen before I forget, and while I upload my photographs. I've completed the latter, so don't worry about more poorly-detailed uploads from me! It is very helpful to have someone more familiar with London assisting with categorization and naming conventions. You let me know when you mass upload info about Oregon and I will return the favor. :) Thanks again. -Another Believer (talk) 22:24, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Commons Categories

Hey Ham,

I'm having trouble structuring an image category and was hoping you could help. This category has lots of sub cats which is fine but the John Thomas image thumbnails insist on displaying in the main catagory, as it seems to be the parent category for the images?. I have had complaints that images of dead babies appear on the main category page, which i often promote and link to, via twitter ect. Therefore it would be great to get the John Thomas images into their 'Photographs by John Thomas' sub cat. I cannot seem to get rid of them! Byddaf yn diolchgar iawn am unrhyw gymorth. Diolch! Jason.nlw (talk) 17:14, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

OK, glad it's not just me then! Diolch @Ham II:

Moving categories

Hi Ham. I see that you moved Category:Statue of George IV of the United Kingdom in Trafalgar Square to Category:Equestrian statue of George IV, Trafalgar Square, London. You did so by copy-pasting the content into a new page, which isn't good practice, as it loses the history of the category, and anyone watching the old category won't automatically watch the new category. In the future, please move the category using the "move" tab rather than copy-pasting - see Commons:Rename a category for more info. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:27, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

@Mike Peel: Hi – I didn't realise that the Move tab works for categories. I have a dim recollection of trying to use it for a category ages ago, without success. Sorry for the error. Ham II (talk) 21:06, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

hi, nice upload. you do realize that there is a version to upload directly from the National gallery here https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/gaspard-dughet-landscape-with-abraham-and-isaac. and you can upload using artwork template using old uploader [1], or commons:pattypan. cheers. Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge 10:59, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Slowking4; thanks for the compliment. I'm a bit apprehensive about uploading directly from the National Gallery, which is why I've been using gallerix.ru. Cheers, Ham II (talk) 19:38, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
ok, although if that is their source (in common), you may not be safer. would you consider uploading into artwork template? it is a little more trouble, but the metadata geeks would be grateful. Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge 21:13, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I have reverted your edit to Buildings of the Bank of New Zealand, London. Would you like to discuss this on its talk page?

Is there a rule of some kind which says a building can only be named after its current tenant? This is important to me. Eddaido (talk) 00:09, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Eight days into Wiki Loves Monuments

Thank you for taking part in Wiki Loves Monuments UK
Thank you for submitting your photos to the competition, it really helps improve our coverage of historic sites. Photos from this year are already being used on Wikipedia - though it may take a while for the monuments map to catch up so don't be disheartened if some pins haven't turned blue yet.

WLM runs until the end of the month, so please add more and invite other people to take part. We are within touching distance of 1,000 photos for the UK, putting us just behind the United States in 14th place out of 49 countries taking part. Let's see if we can jump a few places! If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message here or contact me directly at richard.nevell@wikimedia.org.uk.

An update from Wiki Loves Monuments UK

Thank you for taking part in Wiki Loves Monuments UK
More than 300 people have contributed a total of 4,000 photos to this year's competition and we wanted to say thank you for helping us get this far. The competition runs until the end of September, and you can upload as many images as you want - so feel free to document some more sites. Or why not go through your old images to see if you have any others that could be submitted?

Since you've already submitted some pictures to the competition, you might be interested in the banner mini-contest; to take part you crop your images to a 7:1 and upload a new version. You can find out more about how to do that here. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the competition and share it with others! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:24, 22 September 2017 (UTC)}

The use of multilingual captions in the UploadWizard and on the file page has been researched, designed, discussed, and built out for use. Behind the scenes, back-end work on search is taking place and designs are being drawn up for the front-end. There will soon be specifications published for the use of the first Wikidata property on Commons, "Depicts," and a prototype is to be released to go along with that.

Duplicates

Flickr2Commons does not properly check for duplicates because the maintainer.. I don't have a friggin clue, but the maintainer hasn't fixed it even though it was reported months ago. Please check for duplicates before uploading. Example: File:The Royal Masonic Hospital (3058721739).jpg. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 23:25, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I notice that you have been adding buildings to Category:John Prichard and Category:John Pollard Seddon. I suspect that some of these were the work of the architectural practice Prichard & Seddon, and we may not be able to establish the individual architect responsible. Some of their architectural plans are signed "Prichard & Seddon, Diocesan Architects, Llandaff (see File:St David's Church, Llanddewi Rhydderch architectural plan.png and File:St Mary's Church Aberavon architectural plan.png). I suggest that we move these to a new Category:Prichard & Seddon, unless there is evidence of individual responsibility. There should probably be a Wikipedia article on the practice, and most of the buildings listed in w:en:John Prichard should be moved there. Any comments? Verbcatcher (talk) 20:31, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

@Verbcatcher: I absolutely agree that there should be a Prichard & Seddon category and Wikipedia article. I categorised File:St David's Church, Llanddewi Rhydderch architectural plan.png based on the inscription "Pritchard & Seddon", although en:St David's Church, Llanddewi Rhydderch ascribes that church specifically to Seddon, and I didn't know about File:St Mary's Church Aberavon architectural plan.png.

One project has already started: the Swedish Heritage Board researches and develops a prototype tool to provide improved metadata (translations, data additions...) from Wikimedia Commons back to the source institution. Read the project brief.
  • The documentation for batch uploads of files to Wikimedia Commons will be improved in 2019, as part of preparing for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons.

Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)

My apologies if this is a duplicate message for you, it is being sent to multiple lists which you may be signed up for.

Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...

Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 January or Thursday, 10 January 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:

  1. Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
  2. Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
  3. Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.

Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - blogs posted in Wikimedia Space

There are two separate blog entries for Structured Data on Commons posted to Wikimedia Space that are of interest:

  • Working with Structured Data on Commons: A Status Report, by Lucas Werkmeister, discusses some ways that editors can work with structured data. Topics include tools that have been written or modified for structured data, in addition to future plans for tools and querying services.
  • Structured Data on Commons - A Blog Series, written by me, is a five-part posting that covers the basics of the software and features that were built to make structured data happen. The series is meant to be friendly to those who may have some knowledge of Commons, but may not know much about the structured data project.
I hope these are informative and useful, comments and questions are welcome. All the blogs offer a comment feature, and you can log in with your Wikimedia account using oAuth. I look forward to seeing some posts over there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments UK 2019!

Hi

Thank you so much for contributing to the UK section of this year's Wiki Loves Monuments contest, which finished yesterday. We really do appreciate the time and effort you've put in to record the UK's built cultural heritage for future generations.

Your contribution has been been added to our collections here on Wikimedia Commons, and is already available for editors to make use of on Wikipedia and elsewhere. It has also been entered into this year's contest. If you'd like to see your own images, just click on the uploads link at the top right of this page (if you don't see it, click on the Log in option first).

We've received over 10,000 UK entries this year, and it will take a few weeks for our volunteers and professional judges to decide on the final top 10. The winners will be announced by the end of this month, both here on Wikimedia Commons and also on the competition website.

The top 10 UK images will go forward to the international section where they will compete against winners from some 50 other countries. The international winners should be announced here in December.

Don't forget, by the way, that if you're hoping to win a prize in the contest it's essential that you have enabled email in your Wikimedia preferences. If you haven't, you're not eligible to win. If you're unsure, please check here.

Once again, many thanks for your help! MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:58, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ham II, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

  • Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
  • Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
  • Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

This file may be deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Kevin Sinnott.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, 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.

Dear Ham II,

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2020, and for sharing your pictures with the whole world! We would like to ask again for a few minutes of your time. Thanks to the participation of people like you, the contest gathered more than 200K+ pictures of cultural heritage objects from more than 50 countries around the world.

You can find all your pictures in your upload log, and are of course very welcome to keep uploading images and help develop Wikimedia Commons, even though you will not be able to win more prizes (just yet). To make future contests even more successful than this year, we would like to invite you to share your experiences with us in a short survey.

Please fill in this short survey, and help us learn what you liked and didn't like about Wiki Loves Monuments 2020.

Kind regards,
the Wiki Loves Monuments team, 08:24, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Ham II, hardly a description one would add to the image. Would you change it? :-) Thanks. Lotje (talk) 11:57, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

@Lotje: Yes, of course. The description is not my own and was taken directly from Flickr; I had never seen it before. The file is one of very many by that user which I uploaded en masse – too many to check all the descriptions, but perhaps I will now need to do that. Thank you for drawing my attention to this.

Pay attention to copyright
File:Tampere city hall.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 may soon be deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please replace the copyvio tag with {{subst:OP}} and have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you disagree that the file is a copyright violation for any other reason, please replace the copyvio tag with a regular deletion request.


Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

We need your feedback!

Hello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!

I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.

We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.

Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.

Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.

Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
