Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, FibonacciBlue!

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.

Please use sub-categories

Commons loves cats *meow*

Dear FibonacciBlue, thank you for your uploads, they are very welcome. Please take into account that Commons doesn't use "tags" like Flickr - we prefer cats ;) here. So when you upload files please replace multiple tags by only the few relevant (sub-)categories, depending on what is really shown in the picture. There is no need to add a category to a picture when one of the picture's other categories is already in that (parent) category. To give you an idea please see here and here how other fellow contributors have helped you with that. A short description with the link to our official categorization policy is here:

---

When categorising files, please avoid placing them into several categories that are directly linked within the same tree (e.g. a parent category and a child category – like Category:United Kingdom and Category:London), to prevent over-categorization of files and over-population of categories. Usually, only the most specific category should be used. See Commons:Categories for more details. Thank you.

STOP!

@FibonacciBlue: Why do you go on flooding categories like Category:Castile, Category:Matter, Category:Black, Category:Mansion (and more) with unrelated content? Why don't you respond to friendly messages on your talk page? Do you really want this to escalate? --SI 15:09, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

flickr2commons makes the categories

I use the flick2rcommons tool, and it makes all those categories from flickr tags by default. If I forget to specifically turn that off, that's what it does. Maybe whoever owns that tool should change the default behavior if it's such a problem.

@Magnus Manske: could you fix that in your tool, or explain how FibonacciBlue can fix it? Thx! --SI 13:57, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Can't fix it, because it ain't broken; it does exactly what it's supposed to do. But, I the option is now off by default. --Magnus Manske (talk) 17:23, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, Magnus! --SI 12:56, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

I confirm the "Automatically detect categories if none are given manually" is now unchecked by default in flickr2commons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FibonacciBlue (talk • contribs) 18:13, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

@FibonacciBlue: please understand that we are all volunteers here. When you use a tool it is your task to check how you are operating it and to fix the outcome. See also Commons:Flickr2Commons. So may I kindly ask you to fix the miscategorizations of your uploads. And btw, as already explained in the welcome message above, please sign your comments on talk pages. --SI 12:56, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Hey FibonacciBlue, sorry, I just saw this edit - I really didn't want to disappoint or bother you - is this only because of this cat-thing here? I still stand by my words, that your contributions are very welcome here! --SI 20:20, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
