Pay attention to copyright

Image:Pharrell performing September 2008.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content, that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. For images, you may find Commons:Image casebook useful. You can ask questions about Commons policies in Commons:Help desk. The file you added will soon be deleted. If you believe this image is not a copyright violation, please explain why on the image description page.

Cool photo. Unfortunately, we can't keep it. Please keep in mind when choosing photos on flickr to upload to Commons that we can only keep images that are licensed by the original photographer in such a way that anyone can copy, modify, publish and distribute the photo and use it for any purpose (we call this freely licensed), although we do permit attribution and share-alike license limitations. An all rights reserved copyright license, which is what this image was published under on flickr, restricts all of these actions. -Brynn (talk!) 14:14, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Explicit!

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"). Pro-tip: The CommonSense tool can help you find the best category for your image.

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 source is not properly indicated: Image:Ciara Fifth Annual Hip Hop Summit crop.jpg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, Image:Ciara Fifth Annual Hip Hop Summit crop.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. 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. 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!

Mmkay, just keep uploading copyright violations, that'll land you right into a block. If that's the way things need to be resolved by your problematic uploads, then so be it. — ξ^xplicit 21:20, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Obviously that user not gets what this project is all about, freedom and not such odd and stupid claims and threats. --Martin H. (talk) 14:20, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

He's uploaded the same file twice so far, it gets a bit tiring going around in circles. — ξ^xplicit 17:11, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

File:Happy Pledis - Love Letter.ogg

This is a sample less than 10% of the song, edited to the lowest quality using Audacity, so why? those were the criteria right?

Because that content is fully copyrighted by Pledis. On Commons, only files with free license, such as a public domain or Creative Commons license, can be uploaded here. Uploading samples of these songs infringed on the copyright of the record company. You can upload them at the English Wikipedia as long as they meet the non-free content criteria policy and follow the Manual of Style for music samples. — ξ^xplicit 17:13, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
