Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Deerbard!

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.

Files local to Commons

You have probably noticed that I have updated the descriptions on your recent uploads. The majority of freely licensed or public domain images utilised at Commons are actually from Commons. You will also usually get the highest quality image when utilising Commons.  — billinghurst sDrewth 08:00, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I didn't know how to reply to your note on my page. It also took me a while to find out how to write anything in your talk page :) So as you see I'm really not familiar with how to operate in Wikimedia Commons world. I'm just an artist, spending whole time on drawing and I only wanted to contribute to Commons as I used the portraits from here as references.

I also didn't notice you made any changes, maybe my notifications are not set correctly but I'm believing in your and other users good intentions and thank you for any good changes you make to the files.

You probably already noticed that english is not my native language. I'm sorry but I'm not sure I understood what changes you did. Please let me know using some other words if you believe that I should know.

Thank you -

Editing on your user page is simply clicking the edit link on the top row, or on the section marker.

The edits that I made to the files, was to the descriptions and some categories, nothing major. You had linked to the files at English Wikipedia, and I was relinking to the files here, where they are actually hosted, nothing more. Oh, signing edits on talk pages is expected.  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:26, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
