Our first steps tour and our FAQ 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. You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing here and assume good faith for the intentions of others. This is a wiki—it is really easy. More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel irc:wikimedia-commons #wikimedia-commons (direct access).

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 05:35, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Portraits
editHi 14nu5,
why do you think that File:Portrait dilong-rudolf.jpg is already PD? This image is >70 years old, but to be PD, the photographer must be dead since >70 years. --Túrelio (talk) 20:21, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Same for File:Portrait ciger-hronsky-jozef.jpg. Were these portraits really all taken on December 31, 1937? --Túrelio (talk) 20:22, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, this photos are parts of a serie of 46 pictures (http://search.slu.cas.cz/ and issue with original name „Fotografie slovenských spisovateľov“ – Pictures of Slovak Writers; also record http://books.google.com/books?id=2PduNAAACAAJ&dq=Fotografie+slovensk%C3%BDch+spisovate%C4%BEov&hl=sk&ei=jsYYTOCnFJOisQbPi4HSCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAA), which have been published in the year 1937 (no day or month, i have choosen the latest one), and i'd like to upload them here now. Originals are in my possesion. The pictures are a little older than the serie i think, by logic, no evidence. There is also no evidence of any photographer on published cards or cover. This pictures are many years in use as public domain in Slovakia. I already consulted this case with colegues on Slovak Wikipedia. — 14nu5 20:42, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, but you should check with your colleagues and/or search by yourself, whether the single images have been published elsewhere (other than the cited book) and/or earlier and, if yes, whether there was an author/photographer name mentioned. If that is not the case, then you should check what are the legal rules in Slovakia for anonymous works (when a work has to be considered anonymous and after what time of publication/creation/? it is considered to be PD). --Túrelio (talk) 21:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
- Fine. Some researches have been done. I think there is very little possibility to discover one photographer’s name. By some characteristics of pohotos (different quality, light, damage), as I checked that out while scan cleaning, this people had brought their own private photos to publisher, and he just made graphic addjustments. But this is just my supposition. Thank you for time. — 14nu5 22:01, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

File:Portrait pockody-alexander.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. |
Copyright status: File:Portrait krasko-ivan.jpg
editThis media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Portrait krasko-ivan.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. |
File tagging File:Portrait krasko-ivan.jpg
editThis media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Portrait krasko-ivan.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 ([email protected]). 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:Portrait krasko-ivan.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

File:Algernon-Blackwood-pen-sketch.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)
