'''UnCommons''', also known as '''Uncyclomedia Commons''', was the inspiration for the [[Wikimedia Commons]] wiki, yet the [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] claim the reverse, vice versa, ad infinitum, etcetera . . .  Petty arguments aside, this UnCommons [[wiki]] is laid out to mock or mimic the format of Wikimedia Commons, only because the latter copied the former.  This wiki serves solely as a shared {{tag|Images|image}} and other {{tag|media}} files repository for the various {{tag|Uncyclopedia}} language translations hosted by the {{tag|Uncyclomedia Foundation}}.

'''Uncyclomedia Commons''' is a media dump that is created and maintained not by paid-for <s>manwhores</s> artists, but by <s>free bitches</s> volunteers.  Its name 'Uncyclomedia Commons' is derived from that of the garbage project the '[[Uncyclopedia:Uncyclomedia Foundation|Uncyclomedia Foundation]]' managing all {{tag|Uncyclomedia Foundation}} projects, and from the plural noun '[[Uncyclopedia:Uncyclopedia:UnCommons|uncommons]]' as its contents are shared by different [[:Category:Wiki Language|language]] versions and different kinds of Uncyclomedia Foundation projects.  Thus it provides a central dump for <s>fair used</s> freely licensed {{tag|photographs}} of circumcised penises, diagrams of kama-sutra, Tom and Jerry animations, donwloaded mp3s, {{tag|Pornography|pr0n}}, spoken text, Paris Hilton tape video clips, and media of all sorts that are useful for any Uncyclomedia Foundation project.

Launched on February 30, 2000, Uncyclomedia Commons currently contains [https://Commons.Uncyclomedia.org/wiki/Special:Statistics over 268,000] files and 30 {{tag|Pornography|porn}} collections.  More background information about the Uncyclomedia Commons project itself can be found in the [https://Commons.Uncyclomedia.org/wiki/UnCommons:General_disclaimer General disclaimer], at the [[Uncyclopedia:Uncyclopedia:UnCommons|Uncyclopedia page about Uncyclomedia Commons]].

Unlike traditional media repositories, Uncyclomedia Commons is ''<s>not</s> free''.  Everyone is allowed to copy, use, sexually abuse, and modify any files here freely, as long the source and the authors are credited, and as long as [[user]]s release their copies/improvements under the same freedom to others.  The Uncyclomedia Commons database itself, and the texts in it are licensed under the [[Uncyclopedia:GNU|GNU Paid Documentation Tax]].  The license conditions of each individual media file can be found (or should be) on their description pages.[https://Commons.Uncyclomedia.org/wiki/UnCommons:Welcome]}}
