Please note that uploads to Commons must comply with
  1. Commons:Licensing: the file must be freely licensed, or public domain in both the source country and the United States;
  2. Commons:Photographs of identifiable people: for photographs taken in a so-called private place, any identifiable people in them must consent to publication; for some countries and situations this is also true for photographs taken in public (see Commons:Country specific consent requirements).
Files not meeting these criteria may be deleted. If in doubt, please ask for help, if possible before uploading.
