Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Herpking!

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.

Hi @Sreejithk2000, I have already requested a renaming of the file so that it can be kept on commons. I hope this helps in keeping the file on Commons. Thanks for your prompt response. Kingshuk Mondal (talk) 08:52, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Sreejithk2000, I have renames the file. It would be great if you remove it from Deletion requests. Kingshuk Mondal (talk) 09:22, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

I problem is not with the file name. The problem is with the text content in the photo. The text has its own copyright and this is a derivative image. I dont understand the language, so I am not so sure though. But if you can translate it and confirm that the text is not creative enough to be copyrighted, we can probably keep the image here.
