Everything I do on Commons is with good intentions. If I do anything wrong, please tell me about the problem and I will correct it.
Hello! I like taking photos and uploading them for free use, though I am by no means a professional photographer. I also help put images in the right categories or checking added categories. On top of that, I also upload free use images from other sites like Flickr and Geograph. Thanks for using my photos! On Commons, my main interest is uploading and categorizing photos of landscapes and cities. However, I am also interested in uploading and handling photographs of flora, fauna and objects. Also, if you have any request for me, feel free to ask on my talk page!
Please click here to see all my uploads to Wikimedia Commons.
My Wikipedia page. (This page also contains links to my other profiles.)
PS. I upload my own pictures and sometimes I upload pictures by others (with a correct license of course). To see all of my (recent) own picture please visit my gallery page.
To-do list[edit]
- Clear out the 'Useful things' tab on my profile and put them in my sandbox
- Categorise and check categories
- Organise Category:De Wijk
- Upload more of my pictures
- Take new pictures of locations near me
- Finish uploading pictures of a Rijksmonument, found here
- Finish uploading pictures of a location in France, found here

@NeoMeesje: I see you've uploaded a lot of photos which were speedily deleted. This is happening because they're from an external source and you didn't specify a license. Krdbot finds these and tags them to be deleted. Many of them should have had {{PD-author}}. Also, please add {{Licensereview}} to the licensing section when uploading from external sites. This tells our license reviewers and admins to double-check the license and mark it reviewed, protecting the image in case the source site goes down or changes its license.
Category:Unidentified locations in Europe or one of its subcats, plus anything you can add based on content of image.
When I am categorizing pictures of people, should I also put the picture in the category of the location where they are? For example: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Boy_and_Girl_on_Motorbike_-_Tecolutla_-_Veracruz_-_Mexico_(15844299018).jpg#file For something like this, absolutely. Less important on a portrait of a well-known person, though welcome even there.

For Commons specifically: I'd focus on category work. Either hit a lot of random files & see if you can improve their categories (especially adding categories to things that are under-categorized), or find an area in which you have some expertise & see if you can do the same (e.g. at this moment there are 377 files directly in Category:New York City, few if any of which belong directly in that category; someone who knows NYC moderately well could probably do a good job of categorizing most of these, and someone who knows the city very well could probably take a shot at images in [[:Category:Unidentified locations in New York City].) While you are in there, you are likely to notice things that could use a better description, or language tags on the description, or where you can translate a description into an additional language, or even some things that there may be a reason to delete (especially copyvios). More broadly: it's also really useful to look for articles in any Wikipedia that need images and where the appropriate image is already on Commons. - Jmabel ! talk 22:31, 27 March 2018 (UTC) A place to bookmark if you want to occasionally spend 30 minutes fiddling with some categorization, adding descriptions or doing more complex maintenance is Category:Commons backlog. It's a good way to learn more about templates and best practices. --Fæ (talk) 05:42, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
When searching on Flickr, you'll want to search for "Commercial use & mods allowed" (CC-BY-2.0). Bidgee (talk) 23:46, 29 March 2018 (UTC) See Commons:Flickr_files for further discussion. - Jmabel ! talk 00:24, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
In Category:Files tagged CC-by-sa-old, it says 'Files in this category should receive a proper versioned license template', but how do I find out which license template I should put on the page? And what are the codes for those templates? Sincerely, NeoMeesje (talk) 18:00, 2 April 2018 (UTC) If there is a source website given in the file description, the version number should be stated at the original source and you can pick a template from Category:CC license tags – e.g. {{Cc-by-sa-2.5}}. If the file is "own work" by the uploader, you might want to ask the uploader which version they intended to grant, but especially for older uploads of inactive users that might be futile. De728631 (talk) 18:04, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
For files with an OTRS tag, you may also ask for details at the Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard. The ticket number shown in the file's OTRS notice box should be mentioned there to speed things up. De728631 (talk) 18:08, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
Files tagged {{Own}} can usually be assumed to be {{Cc-by-sa-1.0}}, since the template referred to version 1.0 when the files were uploaded. Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 23:13, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

- Most Anefo press photographs from Dutch National Archives have been transferred to Wikimedia Commons in the last months. More than 330,000 press photographs 1945-1990 have been uploaded, from the Netherlands and abroad. Descriptions (in Dutch) have been transferred to Commons, categories need to be added. See Category:Images from Nationaal Archief (>350,000 photographs) and Category:Images from Anefo (>260,000). Thanks to User:Mr.Nostalgic for this gigantic upload and to Dutch National Archives for making all photographs available under CC-zero. Vysotsky (talk) 11:34, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
Is {{PD-author}} a valid license tag to add to these photos? And is this enough to add? Sincerely, NeoMeesje (talk) 20:10, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Depends on what you are talking about. If you are talking about the public domain mark then maybe. If you are talking about the actual CC0 license then {{CC0}}. The public domain mark is supposed to used for images that have otherwise fallen into the public domain by other means. It is not supposed to be used for people releasing their own photos into the public domain. That is what CC0 is for. Do you have an example? --Majora (talk) 20:12, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Majora: This is an example for what I mean: this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NeoMessje (talk • contribs) 20:16, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Generally, no. That would not be ok to upload here and doing so would end up with it marked with {{Flickr-public domain mark}}. However, in the description the photographer explicitly says "CCO" [sic] (they obviously meant CC0). That statement means you can use the CC0 template. --Majora (talk) 20:23, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- First, please sign your posts. This can be done with four tildes ~~~~. Second, you would use that when the statement indicates a public domain type license but a more specific one does not apply. You would not use it for images that are explicitly released under CC0 for example since we have a more specific license. Just looking at the transclusions of PD-author a lot of them should really be {{PD-self}}. --Majora (talk) 20:40, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

I was wondering if I can upload images from http://geo.hlipp.de/ to Commons. If I can, can I use the Geograph-to-Commons tool or should I just upload them with the Upload Wizard? And under what license? Sincerely, NeoMeesje (talk) 15:00, 24 April 2018 (UTC) I think the correct site name would be "geo.hlipp.de", but that doesn't see to work for me. If you upload by hand, I'd suggest using the Special:Upload instead of the Upload Wizard, and following the "Wie kann dieses Bild verwertet werden" ("Find out how to reuse this Image" on the English version of the site) link, and copying the "Wikipedia Template for image page" into the upload form. That will attach the correct licence ({{Cc-by-sa-2.0}}) and categorise the image under Category:Images from Geograph Deutschland. --bjh21 (talk) 16:05, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- There are already several thousands of images from geo.hlipp.de here Category:Images from Geograph Deutschland. Someone has apparently performed a mass upload, so before you move on, I suggest to make sure you don't create duplicates. JiriMatejicek (talk) 06:37, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- If anyone wants to help in another way, please categorize these: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=geo.hlipp.de+incategory%3A%22Media+with+geo-coordinates+needing+categories%22&title=Special:Search&profile=images&fulltext=1&searchToken=ciiubv6uaelmis4ca1uabln5j JiriMatejicek (talk) 06:40, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
@JiriMatejicek: Is there any way to see if the file is already on Commons? Sincerely, NeoMeesje (talk) 08:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- I would suggest searching for
insource:"geograph-de 12345", with "12345" replaced with the image ID. Additionally, make sure you upload the highest resolution version precisely as it came from Geograph (with no editing or cropping), since that gives the upload process the best chance of spotting a duplicate. --bjh21 (talk) 09:37, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello, When I see an uncategorised image of a building in for example France, should I add the category 'Buildings in France', or 'Unidentified Buildings in France'? Sincerely, NeoMeesje (talk) 19:08, 5 July 2018 (UTC) If the image is uncategorised anyway either would be a positive step, but in general use the deepest category in the category tree that you can, in this case 'Unidentified Buildings in France' would be the deeper category Oxyman (talk) 22:44, 5 July 2018 (UTC) But if the description says what the building is, please don't use 'Unidentified Buildings in France'! "Unidentified" and "Uncategorized" are two different matters. Also, unless the building is quite old, combining our precautionary principle with the lack of Freedom of Panorama in France, pictures of unidentified buildings in France are very often going to turn out to be presumed copyright violations. - Jmabel ! talk 23:49, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
{{Subst:chc}} Uncategorised imagesAls aanvulling op het categoriseren van gebouwen in Frankrijk (en andere landen): als er in de omschrijving een plaats wordt genoemd, voeg dan ook de naam van de plaats als categorie in. Eventueel via de Franse Wikipedia opzoeken of er al een categorie voor de plaats is en zoja welke naam wordt gebruikt. Als de kwaliteit van de foto goed is (voldoende resolutie, scherp en zinvol voor gebruik door anderen) dan doe ik vaak wat extra moeite. Als de gebruiker geen eigen pagina heeft en dus de naam in rood is aangegeven, zijn er vaak maar weinig foto's ge-upload. Deze foto's zijn dan vaak in dezelfde plaats genomen. Die foto's geven soms meer informatie over de plaats of onderwerp. Succes. Wouter (talk) 07:34, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
