Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, CandyNovaAW!

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:Virgin logo with frequency.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Virgin logo with frequency.jpg. 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.

File tagging File:Virgin logo with frequency.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Virgin logo with frequency.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:Virgin logo with frequency.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Complaining successfully

Hi, please remember that administrators are people too, your comment here was not acceptable and appears threatening. If you disagree with JuTa's actions, you can complain but staying civil will get you a lot further in sorting out the issue. You may find the guidance at Staying mellow helpful.

Hi CandyNova.

I have taken a look at the images deleted and conversation around them. As far as I am aware, the Virgin logo/trademark is likely to be copyright and I would guess there were similar issues with the deleted files. There is a solution to the outcome you are looking for, I suggest you consider the option of adding Fair Use images to articles on the English Wikipedia. Images can be uploaded to the local Wikipedia site, rather than Commons, and so long as there is a good "fair use rationale" they can be used for articles there even when the image is not available for free reuse, even when these same images get deleted from Commons due to the strict licencing requirements here. Take a look at en:Wikipedia:FUR.

If you are the copyright holder for the images, then the advice in the notices above is good, in that the best thing is to email permissions-commonswikimedia.org to ask how you can provide proof that the logos are available on a fully free reuse basis.

Lastly, if you strongly disagree with a deleting administrator and want to formally request undeletion, you can make a request and discuss the case with independent people at Undeletion requests. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 13:41, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
