w11. Commons: FAQ

 

1.

“Wikimedia Commons" is a media repository. It provides a central repository for freely licensed photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text, video clips, and media of all sorts that are useful for any Wikimedia project. This site is run by volunteers. Of course anyone, including you, can upload material. Any freely licensed media file (images, sound, video, etc.) that is useful for any Wikimedia project can be uploaded. But, Anything that you upload must be in the public domain , or under a free license such as GNU Free Documentation License or CC BY/BY-SA.

2.

The criteria for files that can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons are quite clearly set. You should not take copyright-protected images from the Internet and upload them recklessly. The best way is to upload a picture taken by yourself. And Files should always be added to descriptive categories, since if they are only added to galleries, they can be easily removed from them and thus "lost".

3.

To be honest, I don't know which picture to post to be useful to everyone. In uploading, what kind of pictures are important? How can I figure it out?
