Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Cynwolfe!

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.

Categorization tools

Hi I have seen that you have made a lot of categorization work recently. You may like "Hot Cat" and "Cat-a-lot" that can be activated through Preferences -> Gadgets. --Zolo (talk) 07:24, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks very much. Although I'm very active as a content contributor on English Wikipedia, I'm still figuring out the Commons categorization system, so I'm concerned that I've done some questionable things in trying to learn. I'm mainly motivated by my experiences in looking for images to illustrate specific kinds of content. So I appreciate the tip, and if I seem not to be following up, it's because I'm getting some kind of personal benefit plodding through manually and individually browsing the images. Thanks again.

Rotation

Hallo Cynwolfe, I have reverted you at this stone. That thing is standing on the ground, isn't it? Also see the other version of this stone. Cheers --Saibo (Δ∇) 20:44, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, thanks! Sorry for the goof. I saw others that were "sidewise" because they were on the ground, but hadn't realized I'd been careless in looking at that one. It would've been nice to have the photo taken from an angle that presented the inscription with conventional reading orientation. Cynwolfe (talk) 22:08, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay, no problem. --Saibo (Δ∇) 23:18, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

File:Prometheus Bound by Scott Eaton c1996.jpg

Hi Cynwolfe, regarding your query, the image is bit complex because two separate copyrights are involved: 1) the sculpture itself and 2) the photograph thereof (COM:DW deals with the concept). Accordingly, we need to have evidence that both copyrights are released with a free license, which, you're correct, does indeed mean that commercial use must be allowed. That said, if Eaton is indeed the license holder for both, an email from him is all that is needed to resolve the issue. He may email directly or you may forward correspondence to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. COM:OTRS has details about the process, expectations, verbiage, etc. Given that his website is www.scott-eaton.com, it would be optimal if he used a @scott-eaton.com address (as anyone can register for gmail, hotmail, etc. addresses). Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Эlcobbola _talk 01:13, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Cynwolfe, I don't like to fragment conversations, so I've responded on my talk page (I responded here initially because you requested me to do so, but I think it would be best to use one location going forward). Эlcobbola _talk 14:58, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. INeverCry 20:17, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. I don't always feel comfortable editing at Commons, as I'm insufficiently informed of policies and procedures. But I do try to help with categorization, and to correct errors when I see them. Cynwolfe (talk) 20:19, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

It looks like you're doing a pretty good job. If you weren't, you'd probably have a talkpage full of complaints. ;) INeverCry 20:23, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Cynwolfe

new message at the graphics lab for you. Penyulap ☏ 16:35, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Nereid mosaic in Nîmes

Hi Cynwolfe. This is just a courtesy notice to let you know that I have redirected Category:Europa mosaic (Musée de la Romanité), which you created a few months ago, to Category:Nereid mosaic (Musée de la Romanité), for reasons explained in the note on that page. It is now generally believed that the female figures riding taurocamps "représentent indiscutablement des Néréides, en dépit d'anciennes attributions erronées" (J.-P. Darmon, in the review article cited on the category page). Cheers, Choliamb (talk) 15:23, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
