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.
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

I now read you user page. You may have the full copyrights for the reproduction, but do you have the written permission from the painter to publish their painting under cc-by-sa allowing everyone to reuse it for every purpose? The painter died 1978 as you wrote, so the painters copyright will exist untill 2049. --Martin H. (talk) 02:49, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Dear colleague, I have a written contract with the artist's heirs. All information presented on OTRS Commons at <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org>. Leningradartist (talk) 12:39, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your answer. Does this contract allow you to reuse the paintings in the book? Or does it allow you to grant permission to others. Example: The company Starbucks wants to use File:Semionov-Alexase35bw.jpg for a world wide advertising campaign, can they? --Martin H. (talk) 13:41, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
User Leningradartist who downloaded the file hold an exclusive rights to use the image in any territory in any form, or by any means during the term of copyright, including the right to grant these rights in whole or partially to a third party. Reason: a written agreement with the previous holder. Permission with detailed justification provided OTRS. First published by user at:
Yes, you have the right to use the painting. But are you allowed by the painters (written) permission to grant a license that allows OTHERS to reuse the image for every purpose? Granting a license requires the written form, so please forward a written permission from ALL the paintings copyright holders (the painter or their heirs) to OTRS stating, that ALL the painters agree to the license, not you. Making a reproduction or enjoying the personal, non-transferable right to reuse a painting does not give you any right to license the reproduction to others. OTRS is not interested in your book but in a written permission from those painters. Commons forbids the upload of copyrighted artwork (Template:NoUploads), I realy wounder, why this was not enforced with your uploads. --Martin H. (talk) 16:23, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Пожалуйста, не добавляйте в категории о художниках категории Painters from Russia. Категории 20th century painters from Russia достаточно. Так вы захламляете главную категорию, где персон не должно быть.Shakko (talk) 11:07, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your uploads. If you plan to do more of them, you can use template:painting that was specifically designed for artworks. It eases maintenance and translation, and make long file descriptions more readable. I have included it in one of your files (File:Semionov-Alexander-In-Christmas-7win30bw.jpg) Here are the changes I have made : [1]. This template offers quite many possibilities, but it can take some time to master it in detail. If you have questions about it, you can ask them on this page. Otherwise I suppose I can add the template for you on the files you have uploaded. Regards--Zolo (talk) 19:10, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, it's look nice. As I understand, I can replace this template after uploding file only ? Uploding form have't this option for direct using ? Thank you once more for advice, Leningradartist (talk) 21:21, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You can also type your text directly if you choose "basic upload form" at the bottom of the upload screen. But if you are not very familiar with the template, I am not sure it is very convenient. (The upload options should change in the near-future, so maybe it will become simpler to do that).
One more trick while I am at it, for oil on canvas paintings, you can type {{oil on canvas}} in the "technique" field. It translates automatically into the user's chosen language --Zolo (talk) 21:45, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You deserve this barnstar not only for making available many photos and pieces of art under a suitable Commons licence, but also for always answering requests which question the legitimacy of your right to upload them here, and always doing so in a friendly manner. This is what Commons is about. russavia (talk) 20:59, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, the catetgory tree is a hierarchy. If Leningrad School (subsequently: LS) is a subgroup of "xyscape paintings of Russia" it will be ok to make it a subcategory - a children category. But no, this special type of painting is not a parent category to Leningrad School.
Category:Painters from Russia can be a parent category if the above is not already. If all painters are from Saint Pietersburg it is included in that category already and adding it also to Category:Painters from Russia will be COM:OVERCAT. The * as a sortkey can be used here but is not necessary.
Category:Painters from the Soviet Union similar to the previous, the Soviet Union is related to a period of time to my understanding, it would be better to have the individual artists listed there and not the LS. If however the LS also includes artists of not Russian decent, e.g. other parts of the Soviet Union, it might be an idea to select this category instead of the above Category:Painters from Russia.
Category:Realist paintings from Russia, the LS category at the moment lists people why the category of relists painting is related to paintings, not people. So the LS and the category Category:Realist paintings from Russia are sibling categories of a category tree related to realism, but LS is not a child of the painting category.
Я вас умоляю, не создавайте категории, не убедившись предварительно, не существует ли она уже. В результате мы тут имеем например, категории landscapes OF russia, landscapes FROM russia, landscapes IN Russia. Лишнее пришлось выставлять на удаление, и все перекидывать в одно. Сейчас титаническим трудом мне удалось прибраться. Теперь у нас есть:
Второе. Я, конечно, понимаю, что ленинградская школа - это ваша специализация, но вашими усилиями теперь кажется, что ничего кроме нее в русском искусстве не существовало, если судить по викикоммонс. Поэтому ваше я все-таки отсортировала и сложила в отдельные
чтобы робкие венециановы и шишкины не тонули в этом обилии. Рекомендую вам проделать то же самое со всеми остальлными вашими загрузками. И, ради бога, не плодите сущностей! --Shakko (talk) 19:56, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, and Thanks. This happened because of my inexperience. I wanted to add "The Leningrad School" (as here), to which belonged to the artist. I will try to fix it. Leningradartist (talk) 07:25, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I think adding it in the "creator" is the best solution. Actually I was planning to request a bot to move all your painting uploads to the format with {{Artwork}}, but all creator templates will have to be created beforehand.--Zolo (talk) 09:27, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Если вы знакомы с изображённым на фотоснимке художником или с его наследниками, вы можете получить доступ к оригиналу фотопортрета и проверить, кто владеет правами на этот оригинал. Часто бывает, что такой портрет выполнен в домашней комнате с применением таймера и автоматического спуска затвора, то есть правами владеет сам художник (и его наследники). Возможно, что художника фотографировали его дети (наследники). Возможно, что художник сам выстроил снимок и попросил домашних нажать на кнопку спуска. В таких случаях можно сканировать портрет и в лучшем качестве.
Если фотостудия выполняла подряд (а не авторскую съёмку), тогда правами владеет сфотографированный человек (и его наследники). Однако неясно, чем подтвердить такое правовое состояние.
Пожалуйста, не ссылайтесь на «Закон об авторских и смежных правах» — он давно утратил силу.
Пожалуйста, поясните, что Вы имеете в виду, когда пишите: «не ссылайтесь на «Закон об авторских и смежных правах» — он давно утратил силу». Что касается способов, о которых Вы пишите, то в свете последней дискуссии мне они представляются нереальными. Более того, если следовать сложившейся сейчас практике, то фото художника (или любой другой персоны) на Commons вообще загрузить нереально. Только в раздел с ОДИ. Поскольку совершенно невозможно доказать, что фото действительно сделано таким-то фотографом. Даже если на обороте будет стоять его подпись, а само физическое лицо будет готово подписать любые бумаги, что это его работа. А доказательства где? - спросит некий Виртуал. И, что самое обидное, будет в известном смысле прав. Потому что без доказательств пойдёт сплошная фальш (что, например, мешает на обороте снимка 50-летней давности поставить подпись дочери художника и взять у неё разрешение на публикацию в Интернете для увековечивания памяти отца), а при необходимости представления доказательств возникает другая крайность - полный тупик. Между тем Закон, как это ни покажется странным, больших препятствий для здравого смысла не создаёт. Просто правоприменительная практика ушла не в ту сторону. И даже не практика как таковая, а словоблудие. Слишком широко трактуются нормы, описывающие возникновение авторских прав. Слишком широко трактуется понятие «произведение искусства» и «творческая деятельность». С фото получается: нажал кнопку - и ты уже совершил акт творческой деятельности и создал произведение искусства (вернее, его создадут в фотолаборатории). Никакой подписи на мутном снимке 50-летней давности нет и никогда не было. Но изволь найти автора этого произведения искусства и взять у него письменную клятву, что это, во-первых, его работа, а во-вторых, письменное разрешение на использование этого произведения искусства. Впрочем, спасибо за Ваш совет и время. В обсуждении может что-то родиться. Leningradartist (talk) 23:16, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploading File:Rumiantseva-Kapitolina-Alexeevna-12bw.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own).
The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Rumiantseva-Kapitolina-Alexeevna-12bw.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.
Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
Здравствуйте! Я только что увидел, что File:Savinov-Gleb-Alexandrovich-Street-in-Sophia-new283bw.jpg распределен Вами в Category:Cathedrals in Bulgaria и в другие кафедральные (соборные) категории. При этом в тексте указано, что заглавие этой картины Г. А. Савинова есть «Улица в Тырново». Я сразу распознал изображенное здание - это есть мечеть Баня Баши в самом центре Софии, единственная мечеть в городе. Для меня это точно, без сомнения, но приведу доказателсьства. Рекомендую просмотреть фотографии здесь в Category:Banya Bashi Mosque, особенно указанные в скобках.
В центре картины ясно виден минарет. Он принадлежит зданию и, следовательно, оно и есть мечеть, а не церковь.
Нельзя утверждать, что когда-то здание было церковью - предназначение не менялось (см. статью).
Прошу проверить Ваш источник, а также контрольные источники. Надо удалить соборные категории. Необходимо в тексте пояснить местоположение здания - в Софии, а не в г. Тырново (Велико-Тырново с 1965). Если сам автор так (по ошибке) назвал свою работу, то название можно оставить, но нужно пояснить, что оно ошибочно. Всего наилучшего! --Elkost (talk) 22:44, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Опять я беспокою. Я только-что заметил, что само название файла содержит фразу Street-in-Sophia - видно, что местоположение здания в Софии не вызывало сомнения при выборе названия. Это однако не отражено при цитировании названия картины. --Elkost (talk) 22:50, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Спасибо, что обратили внимание. Как я понял из пояснений владельца картины, название «Улица в Тырново» ей ошибочно дал сам автор. На то, что в действительности на картине изображена улица в Софии, уже было обращено внимание и, как вы справедливо заметили, это даже отражено в названии файла. Поэтому заранее согласен с Вашим предложением внести в описание файла соответствующее уточнение. Всего доброго! Leningradartist (talk) 23:06, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
