Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Mikejamesshaw!

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.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, LittleDwangs!

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.

File:Edinburgh University Library from the Meadows.jpg

A file that you uploaded to Wikimedia Commons from Flickr, File:Edinburgh University Library from the Meadows.jpg, was found available on Flickr by an administrator or reviewer under the license Noncommercial (), No derivative works (), or All Rights Reserved (), which isn't compatible with Wikimedia Commons, per the licensing policy. The file has been deleted. Commons:Flickr files/Appeal for license change has information about sending the Flickr user an appeal asking for the license to be changed. Only Flickr images tagged as (CC BY), (CC BY-SA), (CC0) and (PDM) are allowed on Wikimedia Commons. If the Flickr user has changed the license of the Flickr image, feel free to ask an administrator to restore the file, or start an undeletion request.

Copyright status: File:Odd Jobs tool patent drawings cropped.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Odd Jobs tool patent drawings cropped.png. 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.

Co-op images

I note the images sourced from a PDF you're uploading. Thanks & no problems.

But. Not sure if you're aware that for any Internet Archive sourced book, you can always get higher resolution files of their scans than can be retrieved from a PDF. So for the St. Mungos image you just uploaded - File:St Mungo Halls, Govan Street, Glasgow.png - which is a bit meh, there is a somewhat crisper https://ia800300.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/30/items/historyofcoopera00maxwrich/historyofcoopera00maxwrich_jp2.zip&file=historyofcoopera00maxwrich_jp2%2Fhistoryofcoopera00maxwrich_0361.jp2&ext=jpg

The route to these, from a main IA page such as https://archive.org/details/historyofcoopera00maxwrich/page/n19/mode/2up is the 'show all' link at the foot of the Downloads options box (mid right-side of page) which takes you to https://archive.org/download/historyofcoopera00maxwrich and from there, the 'view contents' link against the historyofcoopera00maxwrich_jp2.zip link, which takes you to a list of the processed scans https://ia600300.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/30/items/historyofcoopera00maxwrich/historyofcoopera00maxwrich_jp2.zip after which each page is available as a jpg.

This route is more fiddly than sourcing from the PDF, but will tend to provide a higher quality image. --Tagishsimon (talk) 11:50, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.
