Project scope[edit]

Hi Sosanna, please respect that Commons has a project scope and that contributed images must be realistically useful for an educational purpose. For this reason please give useful categories and useful descriptions to your images. So that every other user can find your images through their categories and can understand what you want to teach with the images through their descriptions. To meet the project scope please keep everything as educational as possible.

  • Look into Category:Nature and Category:Plants to understand that both are not appropriate categories for your images.
  • Note that File:DandelionFrozen.jpg is not a flower as categozized by you. It's a Taraxacum seedhead.
  • Always categorize plants, animals, fungi etc. with their scientific (latin) species name.
  • Always (well, it doesn't 'always' make sense) describe and categorize where you took the image.

Greetings, -- Ies (talk) 14:02, 11 January 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Pay attention to copyright
Wikimedia Commons does not accept fair use content.

We do this is 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.
