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.

File source is not properly indicated: File:Kama Sutra -Monolithic Pillar Bharahat state of Nagod.jpg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Kama Sutra -Monolithic Pillar Bharahat state of Nagod.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. 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!

Image license

I am noticing that you are uploading images extracted from various books under Creative Commons license (e.g. File:Alibaba-pg15.jpg and File:From Temple of Surya Konark.jpg). This license will apply only when you own the image or the original owner had released it under CC. Images extracted from books continue to be properties of original copyright holders of the books; so license used for the book will be applicable for the image. If the book is PD-US or PD-India or anything else, so is the image. Moreover, date of the image won't be current date, but date of the book. Hrishikes (talk) 01:19, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I understand. The license for Alibaba book is under CC0 1.0 as seen here, hence uploaded it under the same. Whereas for Kama Sutra, I do not see any license page for the book. Also what do you mean by due date of the book? Thanks. Cyarenkatnikh (talk) 01:53, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

By license I mean the one under which the book was added here. File:The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana.djvu was added under {{PD-old-70-1923}}; same would apply for the extracted image. Source would be {{extracted from|File:The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana.djvu}}; date would be 1883, not 2017. Hrishikes (talk) 02:57, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
