The Wikimedia Commons website is the photo album, so to speak, of Wikipedia and all of the other projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation in San Francisco. If the world needs a freely-licensed photo of an apple, or of a zebra, or even of an erotic electrostimulation device, Wikimedia Commons is the place to go. Yesterday, Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) product manager Guillaume Paumier announced that after careful deliberation a new visual tutorial has been posted on Commons. This comic-style guide will help users who want to donate even more images to the site to understand what is allowed at Commons and what is not, as regards licensing considerations.
