Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/Greenbreen

+Uploader
Hello. I'm very new to Wikibooks, although I've done some editing in Wikipedia. I'm currently going through the Calculus book, and I would like to add some graphs for some of the functions that are discussed. The graphs would be created with open-source software, so I don't believe there would be any copyright issues. Just for my own information, I'm curious why uploading permissions aren't granted by default. Is it mainly because of concerns about vandalism, or about server space constraints or something else? Anyway, thanks for your consideration! Greenbreen (discuss • contribs) 14:12, 16 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello, and welcome. You don't need uploader permissions. If the work is copyright free or released under a free license, it can be uploaded directly to Commons using the Upload link on Wikibooks. Uploader permissions are only granted here if you need to upload non-free material under fair use provisions, which isn't accepted at Commons. Anything uploaded to Commons is available for use in any Wikimedia project without any further work or special coding - just link to the image as if it was locally uploaded.

 * Thanks! In that case, I'd like to withdraw my request for uploader permission. Greenbreen (discuss • contribs) 15:17, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
