User talk:WCCasey
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. 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. |

Project scope[edit]
Hi WCCasey, please respect that Commons has a project scope and that contributed images must be realistically useful for an educational purpose. Therefore please give useful descriptions and useful categories to your images so that they no longer remain data trash but actually can be used for an educational purpose. Please understand that you necessarily must categorize your images to make them findable for other users. See Commons:Categories. Keep in mind that pure uploading of images (without giving them categories) doesn't make any sense! -- Ies (talk) 15:56, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oops, I didn't notice the note. One category added, and I'll look for/create others. Thanks for the reminder. WCCasey (talk) 18:19, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
File:Tomado Octubre, 1867, Josefa Bandini de Carrillo, Esposa de Pedro C. Carrillo.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added may soon be deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please replace the copyvio tag with {{subst:OP}} and have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you disagree that the file is a copyright violation for any other reason, please replace the copyvio tag with a regular deletion request. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
