Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, AishaAbdel!

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.

Please read Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag#When should the PD-Art tag not be used? and note that vases are not two-dimensional works. When photographing a three-dimensional object such as a vase, the photographer must make decisions including which angle to shoot from. Those decisions mean that such photographs meet the threshold of originality required for copyright protection. Therefore, such photos cannot be uploaded here without a license from the photographer. You have uploaded a lot of copyright violations of this type, but you also do a lot of good work, so I hope that you will continue to contribute while taking this information into account. —LX (talk, contribs) 20:29, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello Patrick, I'm uncertain how to do what you're asking. The webpage I used to determine the use of these images is https://core.ac.uk/about where it states: CORE harvests openly accessible content available according to the definition:

By 'open access' to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.

Is this sufficient permission for use on Wikimedia Commons? If so, do I need to add this link and this statement on every file that I just uploaded? Please advise me, as I don't like to have any mistakes here!

Thanks very much AishaAbdel AishaAbdel (talk) 10:33, 22 November 2018 (UTC) 22 Nov 2018 02:33

Hi. Frankly I've never seen this authorization before. The valid licenses are listed at COM:L but an Administrator may decide the statement at https://core.ac.uk/about is sufficient for Commons. Please wait for their decision. Kind regards, --Patrick Rogel (talk) 12:27, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons doesn’t accept licenses protecting “the integrity of their work”. This is some restriction—on possible derivative works—and it goes beyond terms specified in such licenses as CC-BY. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 12:30, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Ok, thanks again. I will flag these files for immediate deletion. Sorry about the misunderstanding. AishaAbdel (talk) 14:28, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

I have another question, please! On the Wikipedia Library page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/OA) I find the exact same wording referencing Open Access:

The Wikipedia Library supports open access. It's one of our five critical goals, in fact. To understand why we still collaborate with traditional publishers, see our helpful explanation. Those collaborations are complementary to advancing towards a fuller, more open future for knowledge.

Open access (OA) is the right and freedom to read research, generally online, and ideally with the ability to reuse it without restraint. Gratis OA is that freedom to read, and Libre OA is the full freedom to read and reuse. The full freedom, as defined in the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOIA) includes:

"free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited."

Doesn't this mean that my recently uploaded files fall under the same permission? The permission cited on the CORE.ac.uk/about webpage references the exact same Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOIA). Will you please reconsider the status of my recently uploaded files? I have already nominated them for deletion, but feel now that this must be looked at more closely! Thank you again for your help! --AishaAbdel (talk) 19:39, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Again, here is Wikimedia Commons. It requires a license to permit everyone to make and publish derivative works without asking permission from anybody (including original authors, core.ac.uk, English Wikipedia, or even Commons itself). Incnis Mrsi (talk) 10:56, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Categories

Hello Aisha and thanks for your interest in the Khalili Collections. I just wanted to advise you to be careful with the categories that you add images to. We should be using the most specific categories possible, and not categorising redundantly. So a picture of the Kaaba shouldn't be in both Category:Kaaba and Category:Kaaba in 1880 because everything the latter category is also in the former. Likewise, anything in Category:Khalili Collection of Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage is also in Category:Hajj and does not need a separate category tag for that. A piece of Islamic calligraphy can be put in Category:Islamic calligraphy; it doesn't need category tags for Islamic art or Islam. Most importantly, be careful with using categories to attribute objects to collections. One of the objects in the Khalili Collection of Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage you put into the category for the Khalili Collection of Islamic Art, though these are separate collections. Another image you put in Category:Dala'il al-Khayrat by Muhammad al-Jazuli (Walters MS 583) but the object is not in the Walters Art Museum's collection. Thanks again, MartinPoulter (talk) 16:24, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks very much for this message. I will try to be more careful going forward! AishaAbdel (talk) 23:22, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
