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).

File source is not properly indicated: File:Ninadobrev-074-20100808-2010teenchoiceawards.jpg
[edit]This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Ninadobrev-074-20100808-2010teenchoiceawards.jpg, 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:Ninadobrev-074-20100808-2010teenchoiceawards.jpg]] ).
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! |

Your Flickr/Picasa uploads
[edit]Hello Lainette!
Thanks a lot for your contributions! Thank you for transferring images from Flickr/Picasa to Commons! Two hints ahead:
- Always upload the highest resolution of a photograph that is available on Flickr/Picasa
- You can use this tool for your Flickr/Picasa uploads. It makes the whole procedure much easier and faster for you!
Thank you for your support! Greetings, High Contrast (talk) 08:54, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

- Requirement 1: the image is freely licensed. Fulfilled here.
- Requirement 2: the license was added by the copyright holder, not by some fan or someone collecting photos of beautiful stars on their fan picasa account... not fulfilled, https://picasaweb.google.com/114532808184510641033 is a collection of stolen photos, the licenses not come from the copyright holder. Only the copyright holder can provide a free license.
Please make sure that the person providing a photo is also the person who created the photo. --Martin H. (talk) 19:01, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

File:If_you_work_hrd_good_things_will_2_.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. |

Scaled down images are undesirable
[edit]
I noticed you've uploaded multiple images that differ only in size, and I thought I should draw your attention to a certain feature of our software. MediaWiki, the software which drives Commons and other projects like Wikipedia, is able to handle reducing the size of the images automatically. For example, even though File:Red Apple.jpg is a very large picture (2418 × 2192 pixel), MediaWiki can automatically generate thumbnails in all sizes (example: 50-pixel thumbnail).
You can include a resized thumbnail of any image in a Wikipedia article using [[File:Red Apple.jpg|thumb|Description here]]
For a narrower image – those in upright or portrait aspect ratio – use [[File:Red Apple.jpg|thumb|upright|Description here]]
