Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Michael Bevan!

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.

Categories

Hello Michael Bevan, Thank you for uploading your images to Commons,
When categorising images please make you don't over categorise them, For instance with this image you added:

• Category:National Express Group
• Category:National Express Group UK local bus operators (National Express identity)
• Category:National Express West Midlands (bus company) (+)
• Category:West Midlands Travel Ltd
• Category:West Midlands Travel (bus company)
• Category:Scania
• Category:Scania buses
• Category:Scania buses in the United Kingdom
• Category:Scania OmniLink
• Category:Scania OmniLink buses in the United Kingdom (+)
• Category:Scania K-series
• Category:Scania K230
• Category:Scania K230UB (+)
• Category:Birmingham
• Category:West Midlands
• Category:West Midlands (region)
• Category:West Midlands (county)
• Category:Sutton Coldfield (+)
• Category:Bus
• Category:Single-decker buses
• Category:Single-deck buses
• Category:Single-deck buses in the United Kingdom

Those with (+) are the main category so everything else would only need to be used if for instance we couldn't identify the location, bus company or vehicle which obviously in this case you identified all so the rest wouldn't be needed,
If you have any queries or questions ping me here or come to my talkpage and I'll help the best I can, Happy editing, Thanks, Kind Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 17:29, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
