This category is for images that exist on both the English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons with different names.

To put images and media files now available on Commons in this category:

1. Use {{NowCommons}} if the filename on the Commons is the same one as the filename here, which will put the image in Category:Images with the same name on Wikimedia Commons.
2. Use {{NowCommons|Image:Filename.png}} if the file on the Commons uses a different filename, which will put the image in this category.
3. Please always include the complete image caption and author, uploader and upload date to en wiki ! This is particular true for images under a GFDL or CC-BY license. In the case of {{PD-ineligible}} and {{PD-USGov}} licenses, the uploader and upload history is not crucial.

Note to Admins

Deletion of these images is regulated by CSD I8.

Before deletion

If you plan to clean out the NowCommons entries remember to check if:

1. The entry on commons actually exists
2. The entry has proper copyright information on the commons page
3. The file names are the same (if not remember to redirect all image links)
4. The file was properly uploaded (preserving GFDL required history of revisions)
5. The file was properly added to an article or category in commons
6. The entry does not make a claim of fair use. If the claim is correct the image should not be deleted (and the image should not be on commons).

Files not to delete

• Wikimedia Commons keeps an archive of files that are in the public domain worldwide, which usually happens 70 years after the death of the author (or 70 years after publication if author is unknown). Images that can not be assumed to be public domain worldwide will be deleted from Commons, and should thus remain on English Wikipedia. For example, this includes German photos from World War I and paintings made by artists who died less than 70 years ago (such as Pablo Picasso).
• Images for which a fair use claim is made. If the claim is correct the image should not be deleted (and the image should not be on commons).
• Images with more than one creator if the differences of the versions are significant.
• Images with uncertain or disputed source and/or license
• Images that are currently protected from editing, especially those currently appearing on the Main Page.

Post deletion

Restore the {{FeaturedPicture}} tags and inter-wiki links if any (by editing the image page on en and not commons).

This category is a self-reference.
