User:Luistxo

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository

I am Luistxo Fernandez, Basque wikipedian. My main contributions as a Wikipedian are in Basque, but from time to time I do edits in Spanish and English Wikipedias.

My contributions to the global Wiki community are more focused in Wikimedia Commons; here you have my Image uploads.

Also quite fond of my contributions to Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Luistxo // and restricted to wikidata creation.

Useful tricks

[edit]

Use CropTool to crop something from a wider photo.

Use WikiShootme to explore images located in a given area, and also the wikidata around. Use Glamtools to visualize the reach of your contributions.

Always add the infobox when creating a new Commons categoryː

{{Wikidata Infobox}} [[Category:Azulejos]]

How to credit OSM map screenshots: example 1 / example 2 adding an extra free source.

Old material. In case you can only precise a circa date / license for old paintingsː

{{other date|~|1950|1960}}
{{PD-art-old-100-expired}}

I use the Commons Android app to upload images from my phone, and also as a tool to explore a given area when I'm out there.

Rename category or delete or redirectː

{{Bad name|Correctly named category}} 
{{Category redirect|Correctly named category}} 

Adding perspective lat-lon to an image

My own trick with info panels

[edit]

I take pics of info panels so they document a given object or place. Then, in the summary description of both the panel image & described thing photo, I add a description line like

|description={{Other |FILENAME_OF_THE_OTHER_FILE.jpg|info panel description}}

Example: some church object here, and the panel describing it. You can do a double reference too.

I also think info panels might be used as references in Wikipedia, as in the case of this Basque church.
