Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Ltalc!

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.

Do not create deletion requests without a valid rationale. Thanks, --Yann (talk) 17:00, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, @Yann, can you please tell me why do you think my edits are vandalism? I agree some of them were in contrary to the policy, namely COM:INUSE and I understand it now. (I learned about it only after a few of the deletion requests, but I let the ones made in my error be there, to see what would other users think.) But I don't mean them, I mean, for example Commons:Deletion requests/File:Frost Deep Dark.jpg. I know Commons is meant for educational files, Commons is even introduced in Commons:Welcome with this purpose and this purpose is elaborated at Commons:Project Scope. I think Commons is littered with noneducational nude pictures, so I requested deletion of some of them. Was I unclear in the named deletion request? Or did I miss some exception, again? I am very sorry if I made some serious mistakes, and I won't make a large number of controversial deletion requests in a very short time again. Many thanks for understanding.

Creating deletion requests without a valid rationale disrupts the project. Call it whatever you want, but it is not OK. Yann (talk) 18:05, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

I apologize. I have just browsed the policy pages, and found Commons:Deletion policy#Not educationally useful. This policy seeming describes what I had in mind when requesting deletions. I am confused – what makes my rationales invalid? The policy says "The file is not realistically useful for an educational purpose". When I was making the requests, I wrote: "Not educational". Where is the difference? I have not read the whole policy (I have found it just a moment ago), so I may have missed something. Or do you mean the photos actually were educational? Thank you for your patience. Ltalc (talk) 18:30, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
