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.

A tool you might like!

Greetings! I edited three of your uploads this morning for categories, description and license. When you put in the airphotos, do look for categories of airphotos of regions, and also for airports in regions. Sometimes each airport does not have its own category, or sometimes they have categories but the names are not obvious and you have to find the right one. I also think you might like this tool... Click here. It will make the location tags for your photos. You go to the article page and copy the "43°27′39″N 080°22′43″W" from top of Wikipedia page, and paste it into the tool. It will create two types of {{tags}}. For Commons use the bottom ones that read "Object location"... the ones that read "coord" are for Wikipedia articles. It's great you are putting in the World Wind application airphotos, it will be best if you make very long descriptions repeating the name of the airport and so on because Commons search engine searches description not file name and it will help other people find your pictures to use long description. If you have any other questions, please feel free to write me! Ellin Beltz (talk) 18:35, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
