Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Alan ffm!

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.

Please do not delete interwikis

In Category:Lech Wałęsa you deleted all interwikis except the Polish one. People of other countries also would like to have a link in their language to an article in Wikipedia about Lech Wałęsa. Wouter (talk) 06:16, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I just copied what is mentioned on my talk page below to have the discussion complete. Wouter (talk) 19:54, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I think there is a difference between the interwikis for Category:Lech Wałęsa and interwikis for the page Lech Wałęsa -- Alan ffm (talk) 15:36, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

In my opinion it is good to have all existing interwikis both with the pages and the categories. If there is a "category-interwiki" as with Lech Wałęsa in the Polish Wikipedia, it is better to use that with categories in Commons. The main purpose is that users can find additional information as easy as possible. For example Category:Poznań does not have any interwiki link to a category. To delete for that reason all interwiki links is not a good idea in my opinion. Best regards, Wouter (talk) 17:56, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Patroller

Hi, would you like to become a patroller? That way you can mark edits as patrolled if you have reviewed them (e.g. undone vandalism), so that others don't have to review them again only to find out you already undid it. I noticed you've been doing great at removing vandalism. –Krinkle^talk 20:57, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Patroller!

Counter Vandalism Unit

Hi Alan ffm,

You now have the Patroller right and may call yourself a patroller! Please take a moment to read the updated Commons:Patrol to learn how Patrolling works and how we use it to fight vandalism.

As you know already, the patrolling functionality is enabled for all edits, not just for new-page creations. This enables us to keep track of, for example, edits made by anonymous users here on Commons.

We could use your help at the Counter Vandalism Unit. For example by patrolling an Anonymous-edits checklist and checking a day-part.

If you have any questions please leave a message on the CVU talkpage or ask for help on IRC in #wikimedia-commons.

10 declined file rename requests

Hello, Alan, please read Commons:File renaming again, also the foot notes and the section “Which files should not be renamed?” Your requests have not been non-controversial maintenance and bug fixes. If you only looked on the Polish translation: It seems to me this should be updated. If you do not want to do this, please search for another user versed in English language. — Speravir – 23:16, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
