This is a free work.
I can demonstrate that it is legally okay for anybody to use, in Chabadpedia and elsewhere, for any purpose.
Thank you for offering to upload a free work.
Chabadpedia loves free files. However, we would love it even more if you uploaded them on our sister project, the Wikimedia Commons.
Files uploaded on Commons can be used immediately here on Chabadpedia as well as on all its sister projects. Uploading files on Commons works just the same as here. Your Chabadpedia account will automatically work on Commons too.
File:Gtk-dialog-info.svg Please consider uploading your file on Commons.
However, if you prefer to do it here instead, you may go ahead with this form. You can also first use this form to collect the information about your file and then send it to Commons from here.

This file is from a free published source.
I took it from a website or other published source, where its author has explicitly placed it under a free license, allowing free re-use by anybody.
Use this only if there is an explicit licensing statement in the source.
The website must explicitly say that the image is released under a license that allows free re-use for any purpose, e.g. the Creative Commons Attribution license. You must be able to point exactly to where it says this.
If the source website doesn't say so explicitly, please do not upload the file.

This is an old photograph, or a photographic reproduction of an old painting, drawing, etc. I can provide enough information about its author and provenance to prove that it is old enough for its copyright to have expired. It is now legally in the Public Domain.

|
Public Domain
status:
|
This work is free of all copyrights because:
|
|
It was created and first published before 1930 and is therefore in the Public Domain in the US.
|
|
|
It was first published outside the US, and it was in the Public Domain in its country of origin by the "URAA date".
For most countries, this means the author died 70 years before 1 January 1996, i.e. before 1926. Please look up the copyright rules for the specific country at [1].
|
|
|
It was first published in the US before 1989, and its copyright expired because it was published without a copyright notice and/or without the necessary copyright registration.
Please look up the exact rules at [2].
|
|
|
Its copyright expired for some other reason. [Please explain below].
|
|
| Explanation:
|
Please provide any evidence necessary to verify the public domain status.
|
|
|
|
This file is in the Public Domain for some other reason.
I can demonstrate that this work is legally in the Public Domain, i.e. nobody owns any copyrights on it. This may be for a variety of reasons, for instance because it was created by the US Federal Government, or because it is too simple to attract any copyright.
Public Domain means that nobody owns any copyrights on this work. It does not mean simply that it is freely viewable somewhere on the web or that it has been widely used by others.
This is not for images you simply found somewhere on the web. Most images on the web are under copyright and belong to somebody, even if you believe the owner won't care about that copyright. If it is in the public domain, you must be able to point to an actual law that makes it so. If you can't point to such a law but merely found this image somewhere, then please do not upload it.

Public Domain
status:
|
This work is free of all copyrights because:
|
|
It was created by an agency of the US Federal Government.
This does not apply to most US state and local agencies, nor to governments of other countries!
|
|
|
It is an official governmental item, such as a flag, state emblem, banknote or postage stamp, from a country where such items are exempt from copyright according to local law.
This does not apply to all countries, nor does it usually apply to all publications! (For instance, it usually doesn't apply to simple publicity photographs published on a governmental website.) Please look up the copyright rules for the specific country in question. If the country does not have an exemption rule that applies to this item, go on with the section for "non-free copyrighted works" below.
Explanation:
Add any explanation or evidence necessary to substantiate your statement above. Cite and provide a link to the relevant law if possible.
|
|
|
It is too simple to be eligible for copyright.
This typically applies only to graphics that consist solely of simple geometric shapes and/or a few letters or words, or to items such as mathematical or chemical formulae. It may apply to some very simple logos that do not contain complex pictorial elements. It never applies to photographs!

|
|
It is in the Public Domain for some other reason.
Explanation:

|

This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use.
I have read the Chabadpedia rules on Non-Free Content, and I am prepared to explain how the use of this file will meet the criteria set out there.
File:Gtk-dialog-info.svg Please remember that you will need to demonstrate that:
- The file will serve an important function in a particular article; (NFCC8)
- It cannot be replaced by any other, free illustration that might yet be created; (NFCC1)
- Its use does not negatively affect the commercial interests of its owner (NFCC2)
- There will not be more non-free material used than necessary. (NFCC3)
This file will be used in the following article:
Enter the name of exactly one Chabadpedia article, without the [[...]] brackets and without the "http://en.Chabadpedia.org/..." URL code.
It has to be an actual article, not a talkpage, template, user page, etc.
If you plan to use the file in more than one article, please name only one of them here. Then, after uploading, open the image description page for editing and add your separate explanations for each additional article manually.
File:Gtk-dialog-warning.svg This article doesn't exist!
The article Example could not be found.
Please check the spelling, and make sure you enter the name of an existing article in which you will include this file.
If this is an article you are only planning to write, please write it first and upload the file afterwards.
File:Gtk-dialog-warning.svg This is not an actual encyclopedia article!
The page Example is not in the main article namespace. Non-free files can only be used in mainspace article pages, not on a user page, talk page, template, etc.
Please upload this file only if it is going to be used in an actual article.
If this page is an article draft in your user space, we're sorry, but we must ask you to wait until the page is ready and has been moved into mainspace, and only upload the file after that.
File:Gtk-dialog-warning.svg This is a disambiguation page!
The page Example is not a real article, but a disambiguation page pointing to a number of other pages.
Please check and enter the exact title of the actual target article you meant.

For subjects who died recently: have you made a reasonable effort to find people who might possess photographs of this person and might be willing to release one?
For subjects who lived in the early-to-mid 20th century: have you considered if there might be an older photograph that has fallen in the public domain?

This is some other kind of non-free work that I believe is legitimate Fair Use.
This is a copyrighted work whose use does not fall into any of the classes above. I have read the Chabadpedia rules on Non-free content, and I will explain how this file meets all of the criteria set out there.

Please be concrete and specific. Don't just copy boilerplate statements from elsewhere. State clearly, in your own words, what this particular file will be doing in this particular article. Your explanation must make it clear why the article would be significantly worse off without this file.

For a file to be deemed replaceable, it is not necessary that a suitable replacement already exists. Even if it is merely possible that a replacement could be created, we will not use the non-free file.

We will typically not use a file if its owner has a potential commercial interest in its use, and if our use of it would compete with its original market role.

Remember that the use of non-free files must be minimal. This can mean several things:
- Don't use more files per article/topic than necessary
- Don't use the same file in more articles than necessary
- Don't use larger excerpts of a single work than necessary
- Don't use images of higher resolution than necessary
In view of this, please explain how the use of this file will be minimal.

Yes, I want this file to be immediately available in all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. I will upload it on the Wikimedia Commons.
Clicking this button will redirect you to a page on Commons. This will only work if you are already logged in there, which is likely the case if you have a unified account. Check here to see if you are logged in.

|
|
No, I want to upload this file locally.
This way it can be used only on the English Chabadpedia. We urge you to upload it to the Commons unless there is a very good reason for it to stay local. Often such local files are copied to the Commons for use elsewhere and deleted locally, requiring extra work for other volunteers. If you do not want your file to be copied to Commons and deleted locally, consider adding the {{Keep local}} tag.

This file doesn't fit either of the categories above.
This file doesn't seem to fall into either of the classes above, or I am not certain what its status is. I found this file somewhere, but I don't really know who made it or who owns it.
Well, we're very sorry, but if you're not sure about this file's copyright status, or if it doesn't fit into any of the groups above, then:
Please don't upload it.
Really, please don't. Even if you think it would make for a great addition to an article. We really take these copyright rules very seriously on Chabadpedia. Note that media is assumed to be fully-copyrighted unless shown otherwise; the burden is on the uploader.
In particular, please don't upload:
- any file you simply found on some website, without knowing who its author or copyright owner is.
- any file you found somewhere, even if you have good reason to believe it has a copyright owner who would not mind us using it, but you don't have an explicit licensing statement from them.
- any file that was released for publicity purposes by its owners but doesn't have a fully-free license for free re-use for all purposes.
- any file credited to a commercial image agency, such as Reuters, AP or Getty Images. Such files normally cannot be used even under the "Fair Use" rules, except in rare cases.
- any file that is licensed for use exclusively on Chabadpedia, or is free except that the free license excludes commercial use.
If you are in any doubt, please ask some experienced editors for advice before uploading. People will be happy to assist you at Chabadpedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you.
