They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat).

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Hey, just wanted to add a note: it looks like you did the right thing by finding an image with a free license on Flickr. The issue here is that it looks like the person who uploaded it to Flickr might not have had permission to put that free license. Don't take this as a demerit against you though! We really need more contributors who look out for copyright rules, and I don't want this to discourage you. Happy editing, IagoQnsi (talk) 18:31, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

User:IagoQnsi Thank you for letting me know! I'm sorry, I assumed that since I found it on the creative commons site it would be an appropriate source. I am more than willing to find a new image for the page! Kaylac8215 (talk) 19:03, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Not a problem at all! There are a lot of "gotcha"s when you're trying to figure out the copyright status of an image; the only way to learn them is with experience. Most of the images I see from new uploaders are just grabbed from Google with no respect for licensing, so you're already well ahead of the curve if you know to look for Creative Commons images.
