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).

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.

Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, Theo10011!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Double votes in POTY

Just to let you know, you can vote only once in the final round of POTY2010; I saw you voted fur or five times... remove all your votes and leave just one, otherwise none of your votes will count. Have a nice day, --Broc (talk) 20:46, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

ya sorry about that, it's fixed now. Theo10011 (talk) 04:34, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests

Hi Theo10011. Please note that the debates are not votes. --Leyo 15:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for informing me. After being on WMF projects for years, and participating in several deletion requests on several projects, your clarification was much needed. I am not sure what exactly you have an issue with - my comment or the vote since you don't mention a diff or anything specific. It would be helpful if you clarified what you have an issue with. Thanks. Theo10011 (talk) 15:56, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

I am referring to the edit you made directly before replying here. --Leyo 16:34, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

I voted on one [1] and commented on the other [2]. I'm not sure what you meant by debates are not votes. It was a deletion request and people do indeed vote, occasionally they leave comments and discuss. I don't think I did anything wrong on either one. Regards. Theo10011 (talk) 17:29, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

You might want read this comment by another admin. I am aware that it does not fully apply to you. --Leyo 17:48, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Allow me to comment here, those comments can simply be ignored when an admin closes the DR. Not much difference if such a so-called not-helpful comment is kept or removed - the latter seems a bit rude imo. --Ben.MQ (talk) 08:04, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

… but allows a user to learn about that rule. --Leyo 09:05, 21 September 2011 (UTC) PS. See also COM:VP#per nom?

Unless you point me to a local policy directing me to not do that, I will take it as your opinion on the matter. An opinion I, or another user can disagree with. You linked to a mention on Village pump not an expressively written policy, brought up by one user. I saw no link to an established policy where voting 'per nom' is not allowed on commons, I have voted on several request on close to a dozen wikis, this is the first time I am being corrected for voting 'per nom'. Also, I commented on the issue on COM:VP#per nom? Thanks. Theo10011 (talk) 09:54, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
