Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Keith-264!

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.

Copyright status: File:Hush2.jpeg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Hush2.jpeg. 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.

Yours sincerely, JuTa 23:09, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Followed the advice here "I left a note in your thread at commons about the 7 day limit. The easiest way to license it may be to have your mate create an account and re-upload the image to the same file page. That way the copyright holder can apply his own license without all the other hoops. Just have him select the 'upload new version of this file' and leave 'uploaded by copyright holder' as an edit summary. We can then add the license he chooses for him.--Canoe1967 (talk) 12:13 am, Today (UTC+1)"

File source is not properly indicated: File:Terrain from the Aisne to the North Sea (land over 100m above sea level shaded).jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Terrain from the Aisne to the North Sea (land over 100m above sea level shaded).jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Terrain from the Aisne to the North Sea (land over 100m above sea level shaded).jpg]]). 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!

Please use PNG for scans

The JPEG format is intended only for photographs (smooth and noisy images). If you upload scanned line-art images (such as maps), the PNG format is much more appropriate. Some helpful information and guidelines can be found in Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload and Help:Scanning. Thanks for cooperation! — Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 02:48, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

I've followed the links you suggested but they're written for people who know much more than me. What do I need to do different? I have used "take a snapshot" , tidied things with "paint" and upload.Keith-264 (talk) 13:03, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

It is never too late to learn. ;–) If by "paint" you mean MS Paint, it works fine with the PNG format. Basically, when saving a file, select "PNG" from the file types. (Keep in mind that intermediate results should never be saved as JPEG, since it is lossy and thus corrupts the images — the artifacts might be not very noticeable at first glance, but they accumulate and amplify each time.) If you have more specific questions, please do not hesitate to ask. — Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 05:05, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much Mikhail I'll give it a try.Keith-264 (talk) 10:43, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Crown copyright and regimental war diaries

Keith-264, with regards to our discussion at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#Copyright_query_re_UK_Gov_PD I noticed you've self-nominated your recent uploads for speedy deletion on the grounds that they are still protected by Crown copyright, but I think you forgot to put a deletion tag on File:Translation of the German Operation Skorpion Operation Order 7.JPG.

Mystery

File:Map showing the Entrenched Camp of Maubeuge in 1914.png

Looked at the source. Map is not there. Map may be included in the book (I see some thin slices of a map in the pdf) but not in the version on archive.org. Maybe somewhere else? Please add links and page numbers to the sources of your uploads. I just looked at a book with more than 600 pages for 10 minutes, knowing I could have found the map in 10 seconds if only you had provided the page number. I haven't even found it by the way. When adding page numbers, remember book page numbers and PDF page numbers are not always the same. - Alexis Jazz 00:09, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
