Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Paracel63!

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.

Thanks for uploading File:Barceramblassrsteel.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:Barceramblassrsteel.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Hello!

Thank you for uploading File:LED printhead.JPG to the Wikimedia Commons. I noticed that when you uploaded from another Wikimedia project, you left out some important information, or copied it incorrectly. In the future, please consider using CommonsHelper, a tool which automates the process of moving files over. Thank you,

Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 02:58, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. I will keep a link to this tool. I notice it is hosted by a user at Toolserver, and as such it will be prone to disappear whenever this user disappears. Is there a long-term solution to this?--Paracel63 (talk) 10:43, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Well it's been around for many years, and I don't expect it to go away without considerable discussion on the noticeboards. However, should it go down, you can use CommonsHelper on Labs (a mirror of the same code). Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 17:20, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Re: Strange formatting

Any help with the formatting would be greatly appreciated, I absolutely can't understand why a few pages look OK but most become broken, even though i copy the code directly... =(

Concerning the author, it should be Andreas Nilsson but I've just been too lazy to learn how to change it, and was under the impression that the credit line code sorted that out.

Hjälp mottages tacksamt!

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:TT061119H comic tokyo.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Kategori-ändring

Varför ändrade du kategori för File:Fabriciana adippe - Flickr - odako1 (1).jpg? Jag skapar såna röda kategorier typ en gång per dygn. (t) Josve05a (c) 16:31, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Hej! Tack för att du hörde av dig. Okategoriserade eller rödkategoriserade Commons-filer ser ut som ett misstag, och sådana länkar ändrar jag när jag upptäcker dem. Jag visste inte om din strategi. Har du förankrat den strategin med andra Commons-användare, så att du kan arbeta ostört med "dina" filer under tiden? Under 12 timmar hinner mycket hända, och en sådan tidsymd är exempelvis betydligt längre än den som förutses via Pågående-mallen på svwp. Allt gott.--Paracel63 (talk) 16:38, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Med tanke på alla tusen filer som är okategoriserade, och att mallen "okategoriserad fil" tas bort när jag lägger till en röd kategori, så brukar dessa filer inte upptäckas innan jag skapat kategorin, eller en kategori-omdirigering. :) (t) Josve05a (c) 16:45, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Jag brukar, personligen, hellre skapa en röd kategori, än att flytta filen högre upp i kategoriträdet. (t) Josve05a (c) 16:47, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

OK. Då vet jag bättre hur du arbetar. Jag ska undvika dina filer i fortsättningen, åtminstone under det första dygnet… --Paracel63 (talk) 17:00, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Grethe Rottböll (MG 3808 e).jpg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Grethe Rottböll (MG 3808 e).jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. 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!

Patrick Rogel (talk) 21:20, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

@Patrick Rogel: Hi! Thanks for the info. Maybe you have seen the info on the file presentation page? It includes the name "Martin Nordström", the mention that I got it from the photographer, the {{OTRSpending}} template and Metadata explaining that Martin Nordström has licensed this very photo under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license. The OTRS ticket has been received and carries the tag "Ticket#2018041710012371". As I'm bound by the secrecy of being an OTRS volunteer, I cannot present more information on the matter. And being the uploader of the photo, I morally do not feel that I should process this ticket by myself. But maybe you can? Feel free to ask for more clarity on the issue. All the best!--Paracel63 (talk) 21:35, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi. I've seen the the mention that I got it from the photographer, the OTRSpending template too late. In the meantime I've undone my previous action. Thanks a lot. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 21:41, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

@Patrick Rogel: Many thanks for that! It can be quite startling having to receive such a deletion message when both I and the photographer have tried our best in preparing this upload.

@Hannibal: Den här bilden kan komma att raderas. Ditt medgivande på Facebook verkar inte gå att nås. Vill du ha kvar bilden på Commons, kanske det bästa är att du laddar upp den igen själv? Allt gott.--Paracel63 (talk) 22:07, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Jag har precis skickat mejl till permissions-adressen och meddelat att jag vill lägga bilden som public domain eller Creative Commons Zero. Jag hoppas att det hjälper.//Hannibal (talk) 22:13, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

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).

File copyright status

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. While everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the project, one or more of your file uploads had missing or false information regarding its source and copyright status. Please note that Wikimedia Commons takes copyright rules and infringement very seriously. Files may only be uploaded and included if their copyright status meets the conditions stated in our licensing policy, and if their provenance is clearly documented. Files that fail to meet those conditions may be deleted, and users who fail to meet them may be blocked. Please follow our first steps, if you haven't already. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the Village Pump copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:32, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Yes…? That one file belongs to a deletion discussion from July of 2019. I hope you've read my comment to the deletion enquiry: link. I did not upload that photo, nor the others belonging to that deletion discussion. From my reckoning I may have tagged those photos with deletion tags. Do you have another, more recent example? It would help us all if you would be more specific and updated. All the best. --Paracel63 (talk) 00:37, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

File importer

Hello, did you know that you can use the File Importer extension to move files from Wikipedias to Commons? That way all the information and also edit history of the file are imported with it. You uploaded this file by uploading it yourself, and it lacks some information that is present in the original file (such as the description in Finnish and the mention that there is no audio). I haven't tried importing .ogg files, but I would think it works the same as with images. The export link should be next to the History tab on the file page. Just to let you know, if you move more files in the future. -kyykaarme (talk) 18:16, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

@Kyykaarme: Thanks for the tip. My knowledge of Finnish is very scarce, so I might even have failed to recognize other things on the fiwp file presentation page. Now I see "Vie Wikimedia Commonsiin". The Finnish presentation text has been copied, as has the note about missing sound. If there are other things missing, feel free to add them to the presentation page at Commons. BTW, is there a special reason fiwp still has local uploading? Best of wishes.--Paracel63 (talk) 18:47, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Yup, "Vie Wikimedia Commonsiin" is the one. Thanks for adding the info! We have local uploading, because Finnish copyright law has a clause similar to the American "fair use", so we upload images of copyrighted artwork etc. based on that. -kyykaarme (talk) 19:26, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category

When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:Hydrangeas in Sweden. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion).

The following reason has been specified: How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category English · español · français When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with either: {{SD|C2}} ("unuseful empty category") if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available {{SD|C1}} ("improperly named category") if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused (e.g. typos).
