Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Kermanshahi!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. 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). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

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.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Kermanshahi~commonswiki!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Blocked

You have been indefinately blocked due to sockpuppetting and cross wiki vandalism (Block message on Wikipedia NL). Silver Spoon (talk) 20:13, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Unblock request granted This blocked user asked to be unblocked, and one or more administrators has reviewed and granted this request. Request reason: "Please check the English wikipedia. I have been completely cleared from these unfair accusations, many times. By banning me from commons you merely hurt wikipedia, because I am forced to upload all my images onto the English wikipedia to use in my constructive contributions to many articles there. I have never vandalised wikipedia, this was another guy, and the only proof they ever had against me was that he kept bothering me on wikipedia with his sockpuppets and lived in the same city as me. Please make things easy on all of us and revert this absolutely useless ban. Note Alos that this whole issue with sockpuppetry happened in early 2007. That's more than 4 years ago, now. So you really wanna ban me for this?" Unblock reason: "I am tentatively going to allow this unblock request. A sockpuppetry finding on another project from several years ago is not a satisfactory basis for a block on Commons now. The inclusion of the "Kermanshahi" account in that group of sockpuppets is one that (rightly or wrongly) has been disputed on both technical and behavioural grounds on other projects. I think there would need to evidence linking this account (on Commons or another project) to current sockpuppetry and disruptive behaviour to justify a block here. That said, your recent blocks on the English Wikipedia are a cause for concerns and I hope you won't engage in the same behaviour here. I don't think it right to say you have been "completely cleared" from the accusations. You have been given the benefit of the doubt (as I do now) in light of inconclusive evidence and I hope you are not misleading us.

File:Kingdom of Kurdistan.png

File:Kingdom of Kurdistan.png has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Kermanshahi. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kermanshahi~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
