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. |

Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 06:20, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

File tagging File:AL Khalili.jpg
[edit]This media was probably deleted.
|
Thanks for uploading File:AL Khalili.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:AL Khalili.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

- Continued uploads of copyright violations, graduating to Flickrwashing, and creating a Flickr account in order to license launder content including unfree files from Getty Images are plenty of reasons for you to be blocked. DLindsley Need something? 13:04, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- As the person who requested your account to be blocked, I have a few questions that I'd like you to answer. I think doing so would really help the administrator reviewing your request with their decision. Please answer in your own words, and feel free to use whatever language you feel most comfortable with.
- You did not stop making problematic uploads after the first nine warnings, so your account was blocked. After this block expired, you continued to upload copyright violations, so you were blocked again. After the second block expired, you continued once again. What is different this time? Why should we believe that you will follow the rules when you didn't pay attention to more than a dozen warnings over the course of nearly six years?
- Could you please describe your understanding of what it is you did wrong, why your uploads were deleted, and why your account was blocked?
- If unblocked, what will you use your account for? What will you upload?
- You used your own Flickr account to upload files to before transferring them to Commons. What was your reason for doing this? After you were blocked here, you uploaded this photo to Flickr under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license. Were you allowed to do that according to Flickr's rules? Why/why not? Did you create the photo yourself, and has it been published anywhere previously?
- Thanks, —LX (talk, contribs) 21:32, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
