Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Ali Beary!

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.

Huh ??

I did no such thing! I simply attempted to upload a portrait from 1731. How is that advertising? I'm not Jeremiah Theus himself, he died in 1774. All I did was simply ask why the automated thing thought a portrait was unconstructive. When did I advertise anything??

You appear to have tried to post "online shopping spam" 11 times on 2 October, according to our abuse filter log. Perhaps Эlcobbola has more insight on this. You forgot to ping me.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 03:23, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

How do you ping? @Jeff G. oh wait there you go…

I didn’t do shopping spam or whatever that means. It was simply a photo of Eleanor Laurens, painted by Jeremiah Theus. I don’t know why both images I’ve uploaded were considered shopping spam or copyright… it’s just a picture of someone?? Ali Beary (talk) 20:27, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

That’s not copyright, it was posted by Jasperson on his instagram, free to use. Please add it back. @Aafi Ali Beary (talk) 20:28, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Please read COM:NETC.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:49, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

@Jeff G. so I can’t upload an image on Instagram? Why can other wiki pages have it, but not me? Ali Beary (talk) 16:17, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Ali Beary, a permission from the photographer/copyrights holder is required to host any material that has been published elsewhere, and also where uploader is not the copyrights holder. If any other wiki pages have copyrighted images, feel free to report. Copyright violations are taken very seriously: as they do not only threaten the existence of open projects like ours but also open legal issues for those that do such copyright violations. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 16:54, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

@Aafi but it's a photo of the uploader? If my friend took a photo of me and then I uploaded it, then would it be considered copyright if someone posted it on my page, (if I had one)? No offense, but by your logic, I could only ever add a photo of Thayne Jasperson if I met him in person, which is probably never going to happen. Ali Beary (talk) 12:55, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

@Ali Beary: If your friend takes your picture, they hold the copyright unless they transfer the rights to you. Likewise, the copyright for images of Thayne Jasperson is owned for their photographer - and perhaps Thayne Jasperson himself, in case the photographer transferred the rights. That's to say, we can't restore this picture until we have a permission from the creator/copyrights holder. About the last part, you may add a picture of Thayne Jasperson if you arrange the COM:VRT permissions, not necessarily if you meet him in-person and click his picture yourself. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 13:08, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

@Aafi Regarding the first sentence, respectfully... what? Even if the person who is the sole subject of the photo gives permission and uploads it free to use, it's not actually free to use unless given permission by the photographer? I also have absolutely no idea how to find out who owns the copyright for what and how I can find out how to see if the image is free to upload or not because the internet is... confusing. Ali Beary (talk) 15:47, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

You could start by asking Jasperson the identity of the photographer / copyright holder, and how to get in touch with them.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:51, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

@Jeff G. No offense, but how am I supposed to ask him? The only time I may be able to see him is in May when I go to see Hamilton, and it would be very awkward if he was just signing autographs and then some random teenager asks him about the copyright on some random photo someone took of him three years prior. Ali Beary (talk) 18:00, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Could you slide into his DMs or contact his agent or manager through Actor's Equity?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 19:31, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

@JayCubby I don't get it. The image is provided by Jasperson himself and it is used on several other websites... Ali Beary (talk) 19:01, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

You uploaded this file as your own work (that is, you created it), which it isn't. Even if this file is found on other locations on the internet, Commons doesn't accept fair use content (where something is under copyright, but used for purposes of commentary).

Also, he didn't take the picture himself (that is, point the camera and press the shutter button), so the copyright would belong to the photographer unless it has been transferred in writing. JayCubby (talk) 19:11, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
