Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Mutos!

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.

Wikimedia Commons does not accept fair use content. We do this because Commons is a shared media repository. Downstream wikis have different policies based on local laws. Uses that are acceptable under US law, for example, may not be acceptable in many other countries with more restrictive rules. In addition, fair use is not compatible with our aim as a collection of freely distributable media files. Therefore, Commons cannot legally rely on fair use provisions. Non-free content that may be used with reference to fair use may be uploaded locally if your project allows this.

Hi. Following your message you have to upload this file directly on English Wikipedia, not on Commons. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 08:50, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll search how to do that... Mutos (talk) 08:56, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not sure fair use is allowed on French Wikipedia... To delete a file please add {{delete}} on the top of the page then explain the reason. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 09:33, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

• Hey Mutos. I have nominated the file on the English Wikipedia for deletion based on your request. I do not however, believe that the French Wikipedia allows fair use images in the same way as the English Wikipedia. You may find more information at fr:Wikipédia:Exceptions au droit d'auteur, or you might try asking at fr:Wikipédia:Forum des nouveaux. GMG^talk 12:40, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks GreenMeansGo, I've found under the "fair use" article in French Wikipedia the "equivalent" legal article that would apply. However, this article is not listed in the Exception page you link. I think I'll ask at the Forum des nouveaux, as it's quite stupid to write a page about a series of artbooks that influenced so many SF authors without giving the covers...
