Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:

• Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
• State the author and the date of creation . If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page . Best to use CommonsHelper .
• If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
• Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted .
• Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories , so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense .

If you copied the file from another wiki , please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper .

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file .

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted . For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk .

Thank you.
