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?

Logo for Wiki Science Competition

Dear uploader of European Science Photo Competition 2015 and Wiki Science Competition 2017, Wiki Science Competition 2019 and Wiki Science Competition 2021, we would like to remind you that Wiki Science Competition 2023 has started in almost all the countries.

If you want to take part in WSC2023, please consult this page. Only some national categories are associated to competitions with local prizes.

If you are an expert user, we remind you that images uploaded within the deadline can be included in any case in their national category even if not uploaded with the main interface.

If you already took part in a country that has completed its upload phase (such as Russia), please consider improving the description in English of your files (click on the edit button), since such description is what the international jury will use to evaluate them. World finalists will be finalized after March 2024.

Sorry for bothering you and have a nice wiki.

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you

Dear fellow Commons photographer,

I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.

At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Request

Have a good time, I'd like you to urgently stay all files nominated for deletion in Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Raisa Vasilyeva - Wikimedia Commons.

A nominator alleges that there are "fake licenses" of these photos, but three of four photos are licensed properly, and only one may be disputed. One of the uploaders of the photos is allegedly blocked on ru.wiki, but that has no relation whatsoever to the question of deleting the photos on Wikimedia Commons. All photos depict a Soviet singer who is the member of my family (my aunt).

File:R. Vasilyeva (my own photo).jpg - this file is uploaded by me from my second account, which I created because I had forgotten the password of this account for the few days. The photo is taken by me during the festival and clearly contains the tag "my own photo" and "has no copyright".

File:Vasilyeva.jpg - this photo is taken from my family album and originally taken by unknown photographer before 1973 in Soviet Belarus, so falls under the public domain definition in Belarus (see: Template:PD-Belarus).

File:Sovjet-zangeres Raisa Vasilyeva.jpg - this photo is not uploaded by me but its existence in Commons is proper because 1) it is preserved in Dutch National Archives under the CC license and 2) it is also taken by unknown photographer before 1973 in Soviet Belarus.

The nominator also mentions some unrelated deletion request associated with persons I don't know and who have no relation to my aunt, so this has no sense as well. Based on this, I ask you to urgently stay these pictures as lawfully uploaded to Wikimedia with proper copyright. Nevtreh (talk) 02:29, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

@Nevtreh 2 of the photos have conflicting sources (the one you say is from the Dutch National Archives) and another like that one, and the photo you say is yours is lacking the EXIF. Do you still have the original photo from the cell phone? Darwin ^Ahoy! 02:39, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

File:Раиса Никоновна Васильева.jpg is most likely the one with "fake" (or dubious) source. It is not uploaded by me and was definitely not taken in 1986 as claimed by the uploader, so I would suggest you to delete this one. Meanwhile, File:Sovjet-zangeres Raisa Vasilyeva.jpg is the same file but properly licensed, so this should be stayed, in my opinion. Nevtreh (talk) 02:43, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

When you have time, please reply what should I do with my full video that you mentioned. Nevtreh (talk) 19:48, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Question

Good afternoon. Sorry for bothering you once more with the issue related to Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Raisa Vasilyeva. I have fixed several problems related to the copyright of the disputed images, indicated all sources, and uploaded my own video which I used to extract one of the images. Now one of the admins gave a "keep" vote, and now I want someone to positively close the deletion request because I spent really a lot of time on this Wikimedia thing. May I ask you to close the deletion request, if you don't mind? Nevtreh (talk) 15:51, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

@Nevtreh I was closing it, but two of the old photos still seem to be CC-BY-SA, can you fix them placing the correct license? Darwin ^Ahoy! 21:02, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

I have placed the CC-BY-SA tags on both of the old photos. Thank you very much. Nevtreh (talk) 23:06, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I likely misunderstood you. I removed both CC-BY-SA tags and changed them to PD-Belarus license instead. Apologies for misunderstanding. Nevtreh (talk) 23:12, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

@Nevtreh  Done. Darwin ^Ahoy! 00:07, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
