Help me!

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

WikiMedia Commons seems to have extremely rigorous guidelines regarding the upload of copyrighted images. However, whenever it comes to logos, despite them being non-free, there are always workarounds (does not meet the threshold of originality, close enough svg reproduction, fair use waiting to be deleted, etc.) to putting them up. I wanted to upload the logo for the League of Legends World Championships and was constantly denied the upload, mostly because it did not have a valid copyright tag. What's the procedure here? It's a logo, and it also falls under limited noncommercial use.

Basically you would just Upload the file (here, not on Commons, you may also use the Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard if you wish) and use Template:Non-free logo along with Template:Non-free use rationale logo as your rationales. See Wikipedia:Logos for more detailed information, and if you still require help, you should try Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, as there are a lot of very knowledgeable folks there that are willing to help and answer any questions. -- œ^™ 07:54, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Yes, Commons is restricted to free images only, but the English Wikipedia allows non-free images under fairly tight fair-use conditions, explained at WP:NFCC. Logos are one of the permitted exceptions, and WP:LOGO explains how to use them. You will need to upload the image to Wikipedia, not to Commons, using the Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard.
