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.

RE: Request for Assistance Uploading Matilda Magazine Materials to Wikimedia Commons

Hello Ms. Watson,

To quote: "Unfortunately, Wikimedia Commons is currently blocked in my region, which is why I’m requesting your help.

Would you be willing to upload these files on his behalf? I can provide:

1. All the files (cover + clippings) 2. File descriptions and metadata 3. Statement of permission on his behalf"

Regarding this, you can ask Mr. Robbie Swan to confirm his permission through the VRTS, which works by letting him e-mail "Permissions-Commons@Wikimedia.org" to confirm that he is the rights holder. As it's Australian, you should consult Australian copyright ©️ rules, specifically those around commissioned works. I am happy to help, I'm currently entangled in a lot of lawsuits and legal procedures in real life, but I can try to make the time to help you with this. If you give permission, I can publish your e-mail (with a free license) to the Village pump to help find someone who has the time to upload.

Yours faithfully,
Donald Trung Quoc Don

Mr. Donald,

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful response.

Yes, I will proceed with contacting the VRTS team at permissions-commons@wikimedia.org to confirm Mr. Swan’s authorization.

Also, I would very much appreciate your offer to share the request on the Village Pump to help connect with someone who may have the time and permissions to assist with the upload. You have my permission to do so, and you may use my message for that purpose under a free license if needed.

Thank you again for your time and generosity — it means a great deal.

Warm regards,
