Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, ChrissyDEM!

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.

Unblock request declined This blocked user asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators has reviewed and declined this request. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not override the decision without discussion. Request reason: "autoblock initiated for no reason" Decline reason: "A reason was provided and is visible in the block log: "Spamming: and copyvios" Presumably you mean to say for no valid reason; per Herbythyme below, however, the block appears to have a reasonable basis. It is thus incumbent on you, indeed per COM:BP, to provide "[a]n explanation of why the block is not appropriate based on [...] relevant policies and guidelines" or, alternatively, to demonstrate an understanding of the issue and a credible commitment to discontinue. Please see, for example, COM:SCOPE, COM:L, COM:DW, and COM:LL. Эlcobbola talk 15:40, 6 October 2020 (UTC)" Administrators: This template should be removed when the block has expired.

As blocking admin I'll let someone else review this. However the images you uploaded simply promoting a printer ink website. In addition - while apparently licensed on Flickr - many of the images were newspapers and copyrighted. Nothing about your contributions suggests that you are here to benefit the project and work within our policies. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 11:58, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
