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.

Comment

Hi, OOps. Sorry about the misunderstanding on photos. The file: File:Patrick Leigh Fermor with George Doundoulakis, North Bellmore, NY, 1982.jpg should be put in under the photo wizard? I don't know how to do it. Can you show me the link? Cheers, Bigeez (talk) 23:34, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

@Bigeez: If you're browsing Commons in the desktop version, the Upload Wizard is on the left menu where it says "Upload file". But first you should read Commons:Licensing. You can't upload images as "courtesy of museum X". You (or rather whoever has the right to license the images) need to either send proof of the license via Commons:OTRS, or if it's possible, the museum's website could have both the image AND the license next to it, so that the license can be verified. All your remaining uploads look problematic to me and they might get deleted. I found one the images online: [1]. However, the information says "Current copyright status is undetermined". Therefore we would need proof that the image has the right kind of permission to be here on Commons. -kyykaarme (talk) 21:03, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Files in Category:Victory Monument (Riga)

I understand your desire to protect the rights of Latvian authors. Protect these sculptors from infringement of copyrights. The Latvian Copyright Law (2000) also contributes to this. http://www.gencs.eu/uploads/european_patent_trademark_registration/latvia/Copyright%20Law%20Latvia.pdf

This "Law" (2000) permits the publication of photographs of monuments located on squares and city streets.

This “Law” (2000), where a special place is devoted to monumental art and architectural objects, was created to popularize authors, protect their name and disseminate knowledge about the culture and art of Latvia.

---

I well understand that reading (too verbose) legislative acts of other states is time-consuming, therefore I am sending two quotes from the Latvian Copyright Law (2000):

Section 19. Use of a Work of an Author without the Consent of the Author and without Remuneration

(1) Copyright shall not be considered infringed if a work of an author is used without the consent of the author and without remuneration pursuant to the procedures specified by this Law:

1) a work is used for informational purposes taking into account the provisions of Section 20 of this Law;

2) a work is used for educational and research purposes taking into account the provisions of Section 21 of this Law; (...etc.)

Section 25. Use of a Work on Public Display

(1) It is permitted to use images of works of architecture, photography, visual arts, design, as well as of applied arts, permanently displayed in public places, for personal use and as information in news broadcasts or reports of current events, or include in works for non-commercial purposes. (... etc. in subsequent Sections ...)

This Law protects the rights of authors and promotes the free flow of information. Therefore, the so-called Freedom of Panorama is not relevant for Latvia.
