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.

Speedy deletions

Hi. Thanks for nominating some files for Speedy deletion as copyvios. Next time you nominate a file for deletion please make sure that you notify the uploader. There is a handy tool for this - Ajax Quick Delete - which you can enable under Gadgets. Thanks Gbawden (talk) 07:23, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

@Gbawden: Thanks for the hint. It was actually turned on already. The QuickDelete gadget below wasn't though. This gadget added a few buttons even I'm not sure how I would replace Template:SD with it --Hangman'sDeath (talk) 08:22, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Visual File Change is also a useful gadget for nominating batches of files in a cat or in a users contributions. Thanks for your help in looking for copyvios Gbawden (talk) 08:45, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

The help is great but... You are "breaking" the description aspect of the files with your SD tags. Per GB above - look at Visual file change/batch processing for avoiding this maybe. Cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 11:22, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

File:Fleur de Nénuphar (Nymphaeaceae).jpg

I have nominated this image as quality image candiate. If it get a slight impürovement it will pass. See here: Commons:Quality_images_candidates/candidate_list#July_15,_2020 --Hangman'sDeath (talk) 12:34, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, I take care of the light. Gzen92 ^[discuter] 12:40, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for inserting the file:0 Jardins et château de Vaux-le-Vicomte (6) .JPG file in the quality images section. Jean-Pol GRANDMONT (talk) 07:55, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

File:Diedrich_Diederichsen,_1984,_auf_dem_Dach_der_Düsseldorfer_Werbeagentur_GGK.jpg

I noticed you proposed the image for speedy deletion because of licence violation. What can I do to prove that Ralf Zeigermann, the creator of the image, gave me the permission to upload the file and publish it with a Cc-by-4.0 licence? Heikowi (talk) 19:55, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

@Heikowi: Rather easy with an OTRS permission. See Commons:OTRS. --Hangman'sDeath (talk) 09:47, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the link to Commons:OTRS! I sent the permission to the OTRS email address. Heikowi (talk)

@Heikowi: As far as I know he has to send the permission to the OTRS team. Otherwise I could send a permission mail for images you have created even you never published them under a free licence. --Hangman'sDeath (talk) 07:22, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

File:Église de Saint-Julien-le-Pèlerin.jpg

Hello you nominated the file as copyright violation. What check did you perform? On the internet page the picture is used it is marked as free license. Can you please explain your checks?

Best regards --Neozoon (talk) 07:02, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

File:Wolfgang Bockhold Ostasienwissenschaftler.jpg

Hi,

I don't think we need to go through a regular deletion process here. This is such an obvious case of copyvio (see metadata) that speedy delete seems appropriate IMO. --217.239.11.106 13:12, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Logo notice

You just added speedy deletion tag on [File:Dynamo Gaming Official Logo.jpg]. Can you please elaborate why so? JaggaDaaku (talk) 06:46, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Although you have not provided any reason according to what i can understand (may be i am wrong). Please elaborate and help me. JaggaDaaku (talk) 06:47, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

@JaggaDaaku: The logo is copyrighted. Content that is not freely licensed is not allowed on Commons. If you want to use it on the english Wikipedia you can upload the logo there as fair use. The reason can be found on Commons:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#File under F1: "F1. Clear copyright violation. Content is a clear copyright violation, with evidence that no Commons-compatible licensing has been issued by the copyright holder. This does not apply whenever there is a reasonable possibility of discovering that the work is public domain through further research or a plausible argument that it is below the threshold of originality. Repeated uploading of non-free material may lead to the uploading user's account being temporarily or permanently blocked." Hangman'sDeath (talk) 08:00, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

But Fair Use is always in speedy deletion criteria? Right? Is there any way to keep it on commons without any violation? How can I see the licensing information of that image? JaggaDaaku (talk) 08:54, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

@JaggaDaaku: Fair use is not allowed on Wikimedia Commons (commons.wikimedia.org). Fair use is allowed on the english Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org). If the copyright holder of the file allows it's free use they can send a permission and the file is tagged with an OTRS ticket (see Commons:Volunteer Response Team).
"Can I use your logo? -> Yes." is not enough. They have to specifically allow a license that is allowed on Commons. If there is no license information provided along with the image it is not published under a free license. Hangman'sDeath (talk) 10:03, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Can I Upload this picture directly on Wikipedia (with fair use) without using commons? If yes then how? And can a picture be uploaded on Wikipedia if it's not present on commons? (Reply) JaggaDaaku (talk) 11:18, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

@JaggaDaaku: Yes you can. It's the same way as on Commons. Yes, an image can exist on Wikipedia but not on Wikimedia Commons Hangman'sDeath (talk) 11:46, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Image deletions

Hi Hangman, I'm not very au fait with commons, largely sticking to the main wiki, but I reverted the removal of a deletion request you placed on this file, as the uploader who claimed it was their own work has since said here that they took it from the subject's facebook page. There are multiple other images the user has uploaded of the same subject - would you be able to have a look and see if they should also be deleted? Thanks Melcous (talk) 11:41, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

@Melcous: Thank you for your effort. I doubt that other images are really the uploader's own work either (eg. File:N V Nambiathiri.jpg). For some others I couldn't say with a comfortable level of certainty. After all we should have some kind of proof that we claim it so. The EXIF data includes a long string of random characters that looks very much like an ID. That is usually not the case with content created by the 'ordinary user'. Just by looking at the image content, File:Umesh Kadam at the release of his second book.jpg for example could be taken by the uploader. Same for File:Suman Koli at an election meeting held in Bharatpur 2019.jpg. The second one does have facebook as source and the ID style in the EXIF data looks pretty much the same. Since more than one image seems to be taken from somewhere and seem to not be taken by the uploader I think it's fair to assume that all files might be effected from this. I will copy this discussion to the main deletion request page as well. --Hangman'sDeath (talk) 06:47, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

File:1160 Wien, Steinlegasse 2022-08-03.jpg

Hallo Hangman'sDeath,
Kontrolliere bitte den Dateinamen und die Verortung. Unter der Annahme, dass der Dateiname jene Gasse ist, die abgebildet auf dem Foto zu sehen ist, passt entweder der Standort nicht oder der Straßenname. Bei einem Blick auf Google Maps würde ich sagen, dass der Name nicht passt. Die Steinlegasse ist in der Nähe aber auf der anderen Seite vom Flötzersteig. --D-Kuru (talk) 18:56, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Der Dateiname ist tatsächlich der Straßenname bzw. hätte es sein sollen. Die korrekte Name ist Anton-Geiger-Weg. Vielen Dank für den Hinweis! Ich hätte ja gar nicht erwartet, dass sich tatsächlich jemand für diese Bilder interessiert und solche Fehler überhaupt auffallen. --Hangman'sDeath (talk) 04:11, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

File:2452 Mannersdorf am Leithagebirge, Arbach Brücke 2022-10-15.jpg

Hallo Hangman, die Arbach Brücke ist ein denkmalwürdiges Objekt, da Steinbogenbrücken in der modernen Zeit eigentlich nicht mehr gebaut werden. MfG --Tiefkuehlfan (talk) 12:59, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

@Tiefkuehlfan: Vielen Dank für deine Antwort. Ich denke, dass die Diskrepanz genau zwischen denkmalwürdigen und denkmalgeschützten Objekt ist. Das Objekt mag zwar in seiner Beschaffenheit und seiner besonderen Bauweise eines Schutzes würdig sein, tatsächlich geschützt ist es aber (noch) nicht soweit ich das gesehen habe. Oder sehe ich das jetzt falsch? --Hangman'sDeath (talk) 07:37, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Siehst du richtig. Tiefkuehlfan (talk) 17:20, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

WikiDaheim 2023

Hallo Hangman'sDeath, ich habe bemerkt, dass du Bilder von und über Österreich hochgeladen hast, etwa 2102 Hagenbrunn, Skulptur 'Salzkristalle' 2023-04-24.jpg und andere, die wunderbar in unseren jährlichen Fotowettbewerb WikiDaheim 2023 passen würden. Ich finde es schade, dass du deine Bilder nicht für den Wettbewerb nominiert hast, es würde den Wettbewerb bunter und breiter gestalten und deinen Bildern mehr Sichtbarkeit geben. Bilder nehmen automatisch am Wettbewerb teil, wenn du sie über Wikidaheim.at oder über eine der vielen Listen (Denkmallisten, Naturdenkmäler, Public Art, Immaterielles Kulturerbe, etc.) hochladest. Bilder, die nach dem 1. Juli hochgeladen wurden, können nachträglich mit dem Baustein {{WikiDaheim}} im passenden Themenbereich nominiert werden. Beim konkreten Bild wäre das etwa {{WikiDaheim|2023|at|topic=Public art}}. Heuer gibt es erstmals einen eigene Preis für Video und Audio. Zu Regeln und Preisen siehe bitte WikiDaheim 2023. Der Wettbewerb läuft noch bis 8. Oktober. Herzi Pinki (talk) 14:44, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
