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.

Image description quality

Hello and thank you for contributing. Could you please add more useful file information to the images you upload. E.g. the description of Paulo Paulo.png is "qffasasfdas", when a more appropriate description would tell me what kind of election it is, in which year it took place, and that it was held in Brazil. For categorization I would suggest one of the subcategories of Elections in Brazil by year. If you want to learn more about how categories work, there's an official policy page at Commons:Categories.

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.

Commons is not for personal files

Do not upload files about your fictional or alternate history works to Commons. This includes election maps, flags, insignia, and other files. Commons has a specific project scope that requires files to have educational or historical value. Commons is not a personal webhost, and files solely for personal use (such as for illustrating web forums and games) are not allowed. Such files will be deleted, and you may be blocked from editing if you continue to upload these files.
