Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, CatJar!

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

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.

Edit-War

Please immediately stop your edit-war on the 1970/1980's compilation images. Don't take over your personal fight from en wiki to Commons. If you want/need a modified image based on the original compilations then upload it under a different name. If you don't stop this behaviour will be reported for Admin review. --Denniss (talk) 07:58, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfree images in montages

Hi! Some of your decade montages contain images that are not freely licenced by Commons rules. For example, File:Hitlermusso2_edit.jpg is acceptable on the English Wikipedia, but not at Commons due to a quirk in Italian copyright law, which is clearly noted on the image page at Wikipedia. If you upload un-free images, they will be deleted or reverted, and if you continue edit warring over them, you may face a block. As Denniss said, Commons is not place to continue an edit war (nowhere is for that matter, it's childish and a waste of everyone's time). If you want to upload a different (free) montage, you can certainly do that by uploading under a different filename. You can even make a whole category full of montages, as long as every image is freely licensed. Please contribute constructively, we are all trying to work together! Inductiveload (talk) 04:10, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For example, File:1940s decade montage.png contains at least two copyrighted images (Hitler and the India one), and the Russian skiers one is also possibly not PD in the US. Inductiveload (talk) 04:32, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1940's montage

I'm curious why the proclomation of the People's Republic of China in 1949 was scrubbed. That was definately one of the most impotant events of that decade. Just my two cents. --156.34.94.140 04:33, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you uploaded a file using the name File:1980s decade montage.png. A file by this name already existed on Commons. Overwriting an existing file should not be done except when making minor, uncontroversial corrections, so the file has been restored to its previous version. If the file that you attempted to upload is within our project scope and is in the public domain or published under a free license, please upload it again under a different name. Thank you. For more information, please see Commons:Overwriting files.

File:1980s_decade_montage.png et al.

Please do not revert war over these images: Instead, upload variants under a second file name. Commons is meant to be used by many language's Wikipedias, so edit warring here could ruin the captions in a lot of places if these start to get used. I am going to go through and restore everything to the original images uploaded, you are of course welcome to upload a variant under a new filename, and use that instead. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note this is not meant to state a preference for one of the images, simply to insist that both options should be uploaded separately. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:12, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You were warned to stop editwarring, and to upload new edits under their own name. You have continued this behaviour. As such, you have been blocked for two weeks.

To appeal this block, use {{Unblock}}. Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:38, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some other images... some other places

Greetings CatJar

First, excuse me for the mistakes in the writting, but i'm not english native. Now, i wanna thank you for the collages or montages by decade, but maybe they are... 'US-centrist' (for put some term). If you see, the most of the images are related to the USA. The importance of this country in the last century could be the main reason, but (today) there is almost 6.8 billion of people living in the rest of the world. You can count with your hand the images related with China and India (the 2 most populate countries) in all the montages. Also, Africa, Latin America and Oceania aren't represented in the montages. You could take some political facts, cultural movements, sports, scientific discoveries or people from this places (for example, Apartheid, Colonisation and Independence in Africa , Operation Condor, Cuban revolution, Latin American literary Boom, teams and players of soccer, rugby and cricket, Lucy the australopithecus, Macchu Pichu, the Sydney Opera...)

Maybe we could 'globalize' the montages and create one for the 1950's.

Have a nice day

2000s (Decade) Montage

Hi CatJar, I like the decade montages that you have created. They certainly add value to the relevant articles. One suggestion from me: For the 2000s montage consider replacing the 2008 Summer Olympics image with an image of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover (MER). Olympic being a regular event should not be considered as a highlight for a decade. But successful exploration of Mars is a significant achievement of humanity in this decade.

Tips for 2010s decade montage

Hi there! Just thought I'd give you a few tips of advice for your upcoming 2010s montage.

I feel that the DPRK-US summit is one of the most important events of the decade because of the circumstances into which the summit came to being. Please do consider adding this photo to the collage.
File:Burj Khalifa at night.jpg
As most of us already know, the Burj Khalifa opened as the tallest building in the world in 2010. I think that this photo will best represent the building in the collage.
Brexit is also one of the more notable events of the decade. This photo shows campaigners voting for the referendum.

Just tips that I feel will help. Thanks :) GoAnimateFan199Pro (talk) 02:39, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
