Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, HstryQT!

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, LoriLee!

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.

TCMI project

Hi Lori,

Congratulations for the TCMI project! I noticed your intend to make things happen on Commons as well, so if you need any help for that part, feel free to ask and I would be glad to help!

Cheers, Jean-Fred (talk) 21:45, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks so much Jean-Fred. I appreciate it, and likely will be in touch before too long. It's been a fun and productive week here with Liam and I'm looking forward to how everything will pan out. HstryQT (talk) 01:09, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

File:State of GLAM in the US.pdf - The photos on page 3

Hi Lori Phillips, thank your for uploading files to Wikimedia Commons. On page 3 I discovered a screenshot of a website that seems to use unfree files. Please add the according authors of the files and the licenses to the file description page, if they are compatible, remove this page or nominate the file for deletion. Thank you. -- Rillke^(q?) 16:58, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

You can go ahead and nominate for deletion. Will upload a new version in a bit. HstryQT (talk) 17:02, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

File:The Childrens Museum of Indianapolis - Opalized belemnites - detail.jpg

Hi Lori,

do you have some more information about this specimen? Do you have other sciency exhibits in the museum? Could perhaps fit into an upcoming talk, or into Science GLAM activities more generally. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 20:39, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Daniel! The Children's Museum has a significant collection of geologic artifacts, fossils, taxidermy, and other objects in its Natural Science Collection. The Paleontologists have been away at a dig all summer and have just returned, so I'm not sure that I could get much out of them before your talk, but if you wanted to brainstorm a future partnership that'd be great. The paleo guys (or our natural science curators more generally) are all about helping with Wikipedia.

If there is a specific question you have about the belemnites I can definitely get an answer out of them soon though. I'm not sure that there's much of a contextual story behind it other than what's in the metadata.

You can see all of our natural science objects contributed to Commons here. Thanks! HstryQT (talk) 01:18, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks - that's a good basis for some brainstorming. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 01:33, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
