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?

Wikimedia Image Problems

I had some discussions regarding images and sometimes the images were judged to be not ok and removed. I am by far an copyright expert, so the editors who checked these images acted probably correct. Did you provide copyright information that can be verified by the editors who look for non ok content? Please do not get frustrated by the reviewing/removal of images.--Francis Flinch (talk) 15:08, 24 September 2014 (UTC).

As an example I cc'd the editors the private emails between myself and Accuracy International providing permissions along with the images themselves which they deemed were not acceptable, demanding that the company itself write to them giving permission which essentially is saying them don't trust their own editors :-/ Twobells (talk) 12:36, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

You might have a look at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:GP_K100 where lots of images of a handgun manufacturer were uploaded using OTRS. OTRS must be a system that verifies if the copyright is deemed ok by Wikipedia standards. Sadly I cannot help you much regarding OTRS. It might also be an idea to ask Accuracy International to create a Wiki Commons account an upload some relevant images themselves or provide images on their company website under a permissible copyright variant. Beware it would not be a good idea if Accuracy International would edit or create Wiki articles regarding their products. That would quickly be regarded as advertisement.--Francis Flinch (talk) 19:00, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

File tagging File:British Army sniper team.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:British Army sniper team.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:British Army sniper team.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
