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).

Some notes..
[edit]I see you are having fun! (and got a ban on Wikipedia) Unfortunately, Wikimedia Commons doesn't really have humor. (unless you count my Everipedia essay or stick around long enough to find things like Wikignomes)
So a few notes. Images you upload must have a free license. No problems with that so far as you only uploaded your own photos. But the material should also be educational. What we consider "educational" is a lot though, File:Pecs.jpg for example would probably pass as an example of cross-dressing. Good picture of an animal/insect/plant? Educational. Photo of your school building? Educational! However, Commons is not for your personal pictures.
Also, try to provide more descriptive filenames when uploading. "Had to do it to em.jpg" could be just about anything. You should also add one or more fitting categories.
For joking around, take a look at Uncyclopedia. To upload your personal pictures, try social media or Flickr. - Alexis Jazz 20:11, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
File:Pecs.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. |

Deleted content
[edit]
- use in any work, regardless of content
- creation of derivative works
- commercial use
- free distribution
See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.
Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.And also:
