Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, TrevorTaylor!

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.

The image is a sceenshot from the Simulator taken when I was the Program Manager responsible for Robotics Developer Studio. In fact, I designed the Reference Platform and worked with Parallax to create the first real implementation of it. I took the photo File:Reference Platform Robot.jpg on the RDS Wikipedia page. It is a prototype we built using Parallax components.

RDS was discontinued in 2012 and the Robotics Group was disbanded. I am now retired and there is nobody at Microsoft to authorize the release of the image. It is of historical interest only. 45.132.224.97 02:05, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Going off your word is not good enough, you need to work with COM:VRT to confirm the media can be restored here. Of course it is historically relevant, but if you aren't able to prove to VRT it can be on here, then it is a non-free file. detria^skies 17:40, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

It appears that my Wikipedia account is deleted or disabled. My User Page is gone and I cannot log in. I am not interested in pursuing this issue over a dead product. You might as well delete the RDS page because I created much of the content. 124.176.35.186 23:35, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Your user page en:User:TrevorTaylor is still there. Probably you confused Wikimedia Commons with Wikipedia. Have a try logging in there. --Achim55 (talk) 07:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. My account is still there. A password reset using my email address never responded. When I tried using my username and email it worked. I could not find my page in a search because I needed to add a user: prefix. It has been a long time since I used Wikipedia. I have forgotten how to use it.

I am not sure why the context of you writing it should facilitate it being removed, its a notable product and deserves an article. You should declare a connection on the talk page though, just at the top of the page. Here is my declaration for reference. detria^skies 15:29, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

I have sent an email to VRT explaining the situation. TrevorTaylor (talk) 01:36, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
