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.CategorizationBot (talk) 11:50, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Moving images to Commons
editHello. When you move images to Commons, like File:Archana kavi.jpg, then use http://toolserver.org/~magnus/commonshelper.php to add an original upload log and translate date, place, and other important information. I fixed the upload for Archana kavi. Thank you. Hekerui (talk) 13:08, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Your bot-transfers on January 3, 2011, referring to India : Categorisation
editHi, please use useful categories and don't over-categorize your images, i.e. please do not categorize your uploads (an example of your recent activity):
- Category:1872 births
- Category:1937 deaths
- Category:Classical music
- Category:Vocalists by genre
- Category:Vocalists by country
- Category:People by city
- Category:Vadodara
- Category:Music of India
- Category:Music of India
- Category:People of India
You'll help to save time and capacity on commons by categorizing:
- Category:People of Gujarat (and for example Category:Vocalists from India Category:Historical images of Gujarat etc.)
Please use as far as possible the category of the regarding city/town/village or district (if there's no category) etc., or, a localized better 'fitting' i.e. the 'most fitting"' category(ies). Do not add - in addition - the categories of the "parent category", among them cities, states and countries etc.
For further information on categories please read Commons:Categories referring to an accurate categorisation, simplifying your further uploads and categorisation in general. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the commons:help desk.
Thank you for your assistance, 84.75.160.122 02:52, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
PD-India-URAA
editHi, I left you a note on your ml wiki talk page: You have to give evidence that a work was first published in India to apply the template, but you add the template to images just because they are pre-1941. Take for example File:Nehru1920.jpg - you gave no evidence that the image was first published in India. Hekerui (talk) 14:34, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

License Review
editHi, I saw you asked License review for quite a lot of photographs from http://www.filmitadka.in/. The page Commons:License review states "License reviewing is a necessary process for files from Flickr, Picasa, Panoramio, and other external websites that provide images under different licenses." However, filmitadka.in does not release images under different licenses, but all under cc-by-sa-3.0 (except screenshots, wallpapers and promotional posters). Therefore license reviewing is unnecessary. Plaese remove the {{LicenseReview}} tags from these images. Thank you. Kind regards, Lymantria (talk) 16:14, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
- Also a good way to go about it is to always ask the community by adding tag on one file and then based on the reaction you could have gone ahead with all the files. Fanofbollywood (talk) 14:13, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.
Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works.
