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). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump. |

Wikimedia Commons does not accept fair use content.
We do this because Commons is a shared media repository. Downstream wikis have different policies based on local laws. Uses that are acceptable under US law, for example, may not be acceptable in many other countries with more restrictive rules. In addition, fair use is not compatible with our aim as a collection of freely distributable media files. Therefore, Commons cannot legally rely on fair use provisions. Non-free content that may be used with reference to fair use may be uploaded locally if your project allows this.

Please don’t re-upload unless you have a reason to believe that the photograph (listed here as © 1967 UNRWA Archive) used as a book cover picture is in public domain. See COM:BOOK. --Geohakkeri (talk) 13:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

- You will have better luck with en:Wikipedia:File_upload_wizard as even though these files cannot be uploaded here in Wikimedia Commons, they might be accepted in the English Wikipedia. --Geohakkeri (talk) 13:36, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
File source is not properly indicated: File:Every-Muslim-is-a-Scientist-Ismail-al-Faruqi.oga
[edit]This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Every-Muslim-is-a-Scientist-Ismail-al-Faruqi.oga, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Every-Muslim-is-a-Scientist-Ismail-al-Faruqi.oga]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |
