W11:After reading "Commons:FAQ"/진신

1. Summary 

Get a comprehensive understanding of 'Wikimedia Commons' by reading 'Commons: FAQ'. Simply put, 'Wikimedia Commons' is a media library created and updated by volunteers. It is used to store freely licensed graphics, diagrams, animation, music, spoken text, video clips, and media of all sorts that are useful for any Wikimedia project. (But not including text and it is not possible to upload mobile apps suitable for teaching or demonstrating concepts.) However, please note that you must not copy and paste text to these other projects unless you are ready to release it into the public domain or license it for use under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike (CC BY or CC BY-SA) licenses. For example, to use text from a website—even your own—that external website must exhibit a clear statement of such public domain release or CC BY-SA licensing.

2. Interesting

It looks as though any photo, video, icon, or animation that I have taken can be uploaded to 'Wikimedia Commons'.However, 'Wikimedia Commons' has requirements for the resolution and format of the uploaded files. This shows that Wikipedia has kept the platform strictly forbidden while giving the volunteers the greatest freedom.

3.Question 

What is the biggest use of the 'Wikimedia Commons' platform for you?
