Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, PattiParker!

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.

User namespace

Hi PattiParker. I moved PattiParker to User:PattiParker/own. I'm not sure what you mean on User talk:PattiParker/own. Kind regards, Trijnstel_talk 19:05, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for that, but my question is how do I find this /own or the /gallery pages that you and the other admin made the redirect to? The only way I have been able to find the page is through your deletion note on my search PattiParker page. I am trying to make it easy to see some of my pictures in a way that the link on a single image that takes you to my user page can direct you to. I have put some gallery images on my user page that comes up when I follow the link from my wikimedia sign in navigation.if that is ok then I am not really needing the /gallery or /own pages. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PattiParker (talk • contribs) 19:43, 7 October 2012‎ (UTC)

You may find your uploads on Special:Contributions/PattiParker or Special:ListFiles/PattiParker. please sign your comments with ~~~~ btw. Trijnstel_talk 21:32, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

The two subpages that Trijnstel and I created are User:PattiParker/own and User:PattiParker/Gallery. You can go to either one in the usual way for any page -- type the name in the Commons search box or click on a link.

As you have done, you can put your photos on your user page User:PattiParker. As you get more of them, you may want to create user categories, see for example

• Category:NRHP site pictures by User:Jameslwoodward
• Category:Files by User:Jameslwoodward

which are an easy way to keep track of all of them without having to add each one to a gallery page. If you decide to do that, please be sure to use the special syntax required for Commons:User categories. If you have questions, Trijnstel or I would be happy to help. .     Jim . . . .
