Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, HughLilly!

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.

Fair Use files

Hi Hl. Your question at File talk:Cinema of Unease-poster.gif will soon be deleted as an orphaned file talk page, but I will answer you here. In short, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and although it strives to contain only free content, in certain circumstances the potential educational merit of an image can be deemed great enough to warrant the inclusion of non-free files under a Fair use claim. These circumstances are substantially narrower than the legal definition of fair use, and can be found at en:WP:Non-free content criteria. This project is Wikimedia Commons, and while related to the various Wikipedias (we store their free media content amongst other things), we are a distinct project and have a very clear licensing policy, and do not allow non-free media under any circumstances (see COM:Fair use). We only accept media that are free to use by anybody for any purpose. If you have any other questions, you can ask me on my talk page or on the Village pump. Best regards, Storkk (talk) 10:09, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Category:Images from Auckland Museum marked with cultural permissions

You recently filed a DR concerning other Auckland Museum images, where you or the Museum had concerns about copyright or licensing issues, A review of Category:Images from Auckland Museum marked with cultural permissions and Category:Images from Auckland Museum marked as copyright undetermined related categories would also be advised. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 05:35, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi @ShakespeareFan00; thanks for the note. I'm in the process of reviewing the files in both those categories, but it may take me a bit of time. Primarily I have yet to determine if those images still have that status in our system, or if they have been openly licensed since the upload run. (I already modified some items because they are now licensed CC-BY.) Thanks. — Hugh (talk) 00:22, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
